Jet Powered Mobility Scooter Revolutionizes Mobility Transportation

Jet Powered Mobility Scooter Revolutionizes Mobility Transportation

A new jet powered mobility scooter from Allegro Medical Supply is taking the medical equipment world by storm, and experts think the technology could have far reaching implications for senior citizens across the country.

Mesa, AZ (PRWEB) January 13, 2010 –

Allegro Medical has partnered with billionaire Sir Richard Brandstone of Virgin Atlantis to launch a Jet Powered Mobility Scooter business called Virgin Mobility. With his sights already set on space travel and his own international airline well established, the only outstanding transportation industries to conquer remain time travel and senior mobility transportation. Sir Richard has embarked on a joint venture with the long-established Internet retailer of medical supplies, AllegroMedical. com. Allegro Medical will be the exclusive US distributor of the “Spock Mark V”, aptly named after famed Star Trek character “Spock.”

“Our partnership with Sir Richard is a logical choice – his companies have set the standard in jet-powered transportation and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future,” said Greg Clark, Vice-President of Operations for Allegro Medical. “Partnering with Virgin Mobility is a way to ensure that we’ll still have a share of the scooter market.”

Powered by twin engine jet turbines, the mobility scooter is capable of going from 0 to 100 miles per hour in 4.2 seconds and has a top speed just under that of an F-18 Super Hornet. Some of the unique features of the scooter include its double wishbone suspension and uni-body design, which test pilot Charlie Yeeger said made it handle “Unlike anything I’ve ever piloted before.”

Though the product has yet to reach commercial production, pre-sales of the Spock Mark V number in the hundreds according to sources at Allegro Medical. Early buyers include most of the Star Trek cast, including Leonard Nemoi, Wiliam Shatnir and Ricardo Montalban.

“We were really fortunate that we were able to incorporate so many of our other technologies into this product,” said Eve St. Laurent, Brandstone's Senior Director of Mobility Transportation and Space Tourism. “We were originally hoping to unveil this scooter by 2015, but thanks to a few breakthroughs we’re five years early.”

Mobility experts think that the technology breakthroughs that come from the jet powered mobility scooter will revolutionize the future of transportation. By substantially breaking the 7 mph barrier of the traditional power scooter, senior citizens will be able to cut down on the time they spend on tasks such as grocery shopping, doctor appointments, and travel.

“Early tests showed as much as 50% decreases in time spent running errands, which is great because users will find they have more time for the things that really matter to them,” said Clark. “A street legal version of the mobility scooter will probably not have as substantial an impact, but we’re still confident that when properly used, it will save time.”

Allegro Medical also carries a large line of non-jet powered Mobility Scooters (http://www. allegromedical. com/power-scooters-c533.html) in addition to a variety of other medical supplies (http://www. allegromedical. com/) at www. AllegroMedical. com.

The New "Check In" iPhone App: Provides Daily Emotional Support

The New "Check In" iPhone App: Provides Daily Emotional Support

Most people deal with stress by eating, drinking, smoking or zoning out, but Emotional Brain Training provides another option: tools that process stress with symphonic precision. Based on cutting-edge neuroscience and 30 years of research at one of the nation's top medical schools, the new "Check In" iPhone app gives users immediate access to emotional support and a new strategy for preventing stress symptoms such as obesity, high blood pressure, anxiety and depression: treat the stress itself.

San Rafael (PRWEB) November 13, 2009

A new iPhone app (http://itunes. apple. com/app/check-in-the-emotional-brain-training/id336304584?mt=8) released today by the Institute for Health Solutions (http://www. ebt. org) provides daily emotional support from a science-based approach to stress. Instead of offloading stress by eating, drinking, spending or overworking, people can switch their brain state from stress to well-being using simple mental practices and a few touches of this new iPhone app.

According to Joe Mellin, the director of development at the Institute and the app's developer: "People wanted ready access to the tools and the mobile device provided an easy answer. People were suffering through a tense staff meeting, with one co-worker popping antacids and another with clenched teeth and wanted to use the tools. Now people can get daily emotional support with a few touches of the screen. It is a convenient way to be more relaxed and productive at work or at home."

This new iPhone app that provides this daily emotional support is based on Emotional Brain Training (EBT), a neuroscience-based method that was developed at the University of California, San Francisco and has proved effective for stress and mood by Laurel Mellin, associate clinical professor of family and community medicine and pediatrics and director of the EBT Center of Excellence in the Center for Health and Community. She says, "Emotional Brain Training is based on emerging research that shows that mood management is not one size fits all. The brain moves through five different states depending upon the level of stress. Using the same mental process for each of the states compromises results. That's why most people complain that they can't meditate when they are stressed."

The new iPhone app, Check In, gives the user the tools to identify their brain state, and then select the tool that is most effective in decreasing stress when in that state. It has two new main features. One is the Brain State Finder, that people can use to identify their emotional state on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the optimal state of flow, clarity, and productivity and 5 being overwhelmed, confused and stressed out. The second feature is "Get to 1." For that brain state, it coaches the user through the mental process to return to that state of optimal functioning and flow. Video and audio support included in the app make learning the method easy.

The method is also available through health professionals who are Certified EBT providers locally or through coaching and groups by telephone. The method was first developed to treat obesity in children as the Shapedown Program (http://www. shapedown. com), and later adapted to weight loss for adults, then to treat the range of stress symptoms.

While the nation is focusing problems such as obesity, depression, anxiety, and addictions, research is suggesting that these are primarily just symptoms of stress. Emotional Brain Training offers a way to process stress more effectively, decreasing the frequency and duration of stress episodes and with it the cascade of stress hormones that impact health in deleterious ways.

According to the app's developer Joe Mellin, "The launch of Check In is step forward in meeting the mission of Emotional Brain Training: supporting a new paradigm in health care: switch from treating the symptoms of stress, such as obesity, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure to treating the stress itself."

Polycom Recognizes Solutionz’ Strategic Total Solution Efforts with the 2009 Emerging Partner of the Year Award

Solutionz Conferencing, Inc., a leading total conferencing provider of video conferencing, audio visual integrations, managed services, and grant services, received Polycom’s Emerging Partner of the Year Award on February 2nd at Polycom’s annual partner conference, TEAM Polycom, in San Diego.

Brentwood, CA (Vocus) February 10, 2010

Solutionz Conferencing, Inc., a leading total conferencing provider of video conferencing (http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=QbQkSoJBfaw), audio visual integrations, managed services, and grant services, received Polycom’s Emerging Partner of the Year Award on February 2nd at Polycom’s annual partner conference, TEAM Polycom, in San Diego.

The Polycom annual partner conference took place February 1 – 3 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, and hosted networking and communications industry leaders from around the globe. At the event, Polycom recognized industry-leading channels partners in video and voice communications for their achievements in 2009. Last year Solutionz was recognized with the Polycom Video Reseller of the Year Award. This year, Solutionz was recognized with Polycom’s newest award, Polycom Emerging Partner of the Year, which was presented on Tuesday to the North America channel partners.

The Emerging Partner of the Year Award is awarded to Polycom’s channel partner that has made significant investments in their Polycom partnership and continues to capitalize on and expand into new markets. “Solutionz is always asking us where they need to grow and where they need to make their investments to capitalize on our partnership’s success. As the 2008 Reseller of the Year, we wanted them to further expand into the GEM, enterprise, and federal markets,” said Mike Conlon, Director, Channels Western Region at Polycom. “Solutionz truly has invested in those markets.”

Over the course of the past year Solutionz has added new divisions and services to further their expansion in the Government, Education, and Medical (GEM), enterprise, and federal markets, and to truly offer customers with the Total Solution (http://www. solutionzinc. com/Video-Communication/New-World-Network/What-is-the-New-World-Network. html). These offerings include Solutionz GP$, Managed Services, Bridging Services (http://www. solutionzinc. com/About-Solutionz-Conferencing/Services/Bridging-Services. html), and a new Federal team.

With the addition of Solutionz GP$ division, Solutionz became one of the select few video conferencing providers to offer an in-house grant team to customers. Solutionz GP$ monitors various grant and funding sources (http://www. solutionzinc. com/solutionzgps) and offers consultation and grant writing support for State and Local Government, Education, and Healthcare customers needing assistance with these programs.

Solutionz also expanded their service offerings with the addition of Bridging Services & Managed Services. Solutionz Bridging Services give customers the ability to host multipoint video calls without having to purchase their own bridge, host a point-to-point call between two sites where one may have an IP-only connection and the other an ISDN connection, and host calls where a firewall would have otherwise prevented the connection. With Bridging Services, customers can now host any number of sites on one video conference, from small 3-location conferences to 50+ locations, anytime, anywhere in the world. Additionally, Solutionz Managed Services offers companies turnkey, globally available, and fully managed IP video conferencing services.

In mid-2009, Solutionz began capturing the momentum of the Federal market space with the restructure of Solutionz Federal Sales Team (http://www. solutionzinc. com/government). “Our Federal Sales team is comprised of focused and driven leaders with exceptional track records,” said Kirk Fernandez, CEO of Solutionz. Not only is Solutionz Federal Sales Team dedicated to serving their customers’ needs, but they offer GSA, NETCENTS, SEWP, and Service Disabled Veterans contracts.

Bring together these new specialized Solutionz divisions and service offerings, along with Solutionz’ existing integrations and service offerings, the best-in-class audio and video conferencing and peripheral manufacturers, and network providers, and it’s easy to see why Solutionz offers an unparallel communication network like no other.

About Solutionz
