No Sweat: Leader in High Tech Auto Sealing Now Makes Life More Comfortable in Chicken Coops, Too

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) June 14, 2012

The company that keeps tens of millions of automobile interiors quiet and dry is also making life more comfortable in a much different environment: chicken coops. Jyco Sealing Technologies, a world leader in the sealing systems for car doors, moveable windows and engine compartments, announced today that it is supplying exhaust fan seals for poultry and egg production facilities.

The Jyco seal, which is made from an extruded rubber-plastic compound called TPV, replaces rubber seals that fatigue, discolor and cannot be recycled. According to Jyco, the new seals answer industry demands for reliable performance, increased durability, and improved aesthetics.

Airflow is extremely important to livestock production, says John McGovern, manager of Jycos Industrial Products Division. Comfortable birds eat better and produce more eggs, and the exhaust system is critical to the comfort of that environment. Excessive airflow can increase the mortality rate among young birds. Too little airflow will make it too hot and reduce the birds weight and egg productivity.

The new TPV exhaust fan seals last longer, conserve energy, cost less, and wont discolor. The old seals were rubber, which would fatigue and look nasty. In any application to do with food, you want everything to be as clean, tidy and consistent as possible.

Jyco TPV seals are better for the environment before, during and after their installation. The company processes its TPV without particulate or VOC emissions, and production scrap is directly recyclable. The new fan seals are made in part using http://www.jycosealingtechnologies.com/en/jygreen.php, technology that Jyco pioneered in 2007 to reclaim rubber from used tires and reprocess it into high performance extruded TPV sealing systems. And if the exhaust fan is ever replaced, Jycos seal can be recycled.

Jyco is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and has manufacturing plants in Canada, Mexico and China. Jyco is the only supplier to have earned a Corporate TS/ISO/16949/9000 certification for Design, Testing, and Manufacturing of TPV seals.

Tata Technologies eMO EV Design Chief to Moderate Global Micro-Cars Interior Panel at Wards Auto Interiors Conference

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

Tata Technologies, a leading global provider of engineering services and product development IT, announced that Peter Davis, Chief Designer Vehicle Design will moderate a panel discussion titled Global Micro-Cars Interiors at the 2012 Wards Auto Interiors Conference on May 17, in Dearborn, Mich. Davis is the Chief Designer on the Tata Technologies electric MObility (eMO) engineering study EV, which made its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, and which was again on display at the SAE 2012 World Congress in Detroit last month.

Davis panel will take a detailed look at the challenges and possibilities of the micro-cars that are changing the world. Small is in, according to global automotive design trends; and panelists will share the latest ideas on where interior development is heading in these crucial vehicles. Davis will bring his personal insights from the eMO EV study to the discussion.

Designing micro-car interiors is a creative challenge, and demands a holistic from the interior-out mind-set, especially in North America, Davis says. What you dont do, is simply shrink a big car down. You have to preserve the interior space and find clever ways of making it even larger and easier to use. You need to push the green house architecture, and minimize the interior furniture, like we did on the eMO EV study.

We met that challenge, preserving a comfortable package for four adults, yet reducing the exterior size to a minimum. A high seating position, great visibility, a sensation of generous space, and easy ingress and egress were integrated into the vehicle architecture. Todays customers are used to great materials and finishes, and will expect richer interiors in these micro-cars. Micro doesnt mean cheap anymore, he added.

Panelists scheduled to participate on the Global Micro-Cars Interiors panel include Jay Hutchins, Director of Marketing and Product Planning Faurecia Interior Systems; Katherine Sirvio, Senior Design Manager Global Chevrolet Color and Trim, Chevy Spark; and Tim Yerdon, Global Director Innovation and Design Visteon.

The Wards Auto Interiors Conference is an annual gathering of leaders in the automotive industry, focusing upon automotive interiors engineering and design. The conference includes the Wards 10 Best Interiors awards; and scholarship awards to students from Detroits College for Creative Studies. Throughout the day, panel sessions will be presented providing the latest from industry experts on topics including environmentally friendly materials, connectivity, consumer needs, auto interiors and safety. http://www.wardsauto.com/interiors.com

As a ground-up EV study, eMO also incorporates design advantages over an internal combustion engine vehicle like smoother aerodynamic surfaces and shorter overhangs. eMO benefits from a low carbon footprint and a recyclability strategy. The eMO business case sets the MSRP at the disruptive price point of $ 20,000, before federal tax incentives or rebates.

New Statistics Confirm Thousands of Lives Saved and a 36% Decrease in Fatal California Auto Collisions

Posted on by

Newport Beach, California (PRWEB) August 24, 2012

The statistics were obtained through the California Highway Patrols highly regarded California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), a database that serves as a means to collect and process data gathered from collision scenes. According to the data, every year since 2005 has been a step towards progress. The following are statistics for those years:

2005 4,304 fatalities

2006 4,197 fatalities

2007 3,967 fatalities

2008 3,401 fatalities

2009 3,076 fatalities

2010 2,739 fatalities

To put the numbers in perspective, CNN reported that the number of United States casualties suffered to-date in the Afghanistan war had just exceeded 2,000. Had the number of fatal car accident victims stayed consistent since 2005, 4,140 more people would have died than the numbers recorded by SWITRS.

That is more than double the number of brave soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country throughout Operation Enduring Freedom.

Although traffic accident fatalities in California are unquestionably decreasing, a genuine concern that the numbers may take a turn for the worse is warranted. Here are the statistics from 2001 to 2004:

2001 3,926

2002 4,089

2003 4,225

2004 4,094

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has instituted a number of safety programs over the last few years, which may have contributed to the sharp decline in fatal auto collisions. Programs such as the Designated Driver Program (DDP) and Sober Graduation are only two of the several awareness campaigns provided by the CHP to reduce auto accidents.

John Bisnar, California wrongful death attorney, has been assisting victims of serious injury collisions since 1978. The contributions made by CHP officers and organizations such as M.A.D.D. to decrease the number of California deaths are achievements that are easy to take for granted. Thousands of people die in car accidents every year, and each one of those lives is an unfathomable loss to their family and friends, says Mr. Bisnar.

Although California roadways may be substantially safer than they were a few years ago, the potential for serious injury without warning is possible any time one pulls out of their driveway.
