NRMA Insurance Announces Reduced Premiums for New Cars

2009-11-20T00:45:00.005-08:00

NRMA Insurance is driving increased competition in the Queensland motor insurance market with reduced premiums for cars less than four years old.

(PRWEB) November 20, 2009 -- Car Insurance provider NRMA Insurance is driving increased competition in the Queensland motor insurance market with reduced premiums for cars less than four years old.

Around one in four Queensland drivers* could benefit from a comprehensive car insurance premium price drop of up to 15 per cent for cars manufactured from 2006 to 2009.

NRMA Insurance spokesperson Sue Hawkins said the continued competitive car insurance landscape was good news for consumers.

"We've challenged the marketplace in a number of ways in recent years, and will continue to champion competition for Queensland drivers," she said.

"Every driver's car insurance premium is different, based on a range of factors, including the car itself but the average saving for our customers with new cars is around $100."

NRMA Insurance is also making life easier for new car buyers with an online tool to help find the safest car.

The website recommends cars in each class based on three safety criteria: the latest ANCAP crash tests results; head restraint design; and whether the car has (at least) optional Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

"Our research** shows about one in five Queensland divers puts safety first when shopping for new wheels," Mrs Hawkins said.

"Hopefully this new tool makes it easier for consumers to consider and compare key safety features and make an informed choice about their next new car."

NRMA Insurance also offers these top tips for new car buyers taking out car insurance:

- you can save on your premium by opting for a higher excess
- bundle with your home insurance to get a multi-policy discount
- get an additional discount with NRMA Insurance for cars that are fitted with ESC or are NRMA Insurance recognised fuel-efficient models.

To check the results and find the safest cars in each class, visit NRMA Car Safety. The website will continue to be updated as new cars are released.

For insurance savings, drivers of 2006-2009 model cars should phone 132 132.

*Current Queensland vehicle registrations as recorded by the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council CARS Database ** Survey of 2100 Australian households carried out by Pure Profile for NRMA Insurance, September 2009

When making decisions about the product you should consider the Product Disclosure Statement available from NRMA Insurance. In some instances the price reduction may be offset by changes to other rating factors such as location and type of vehicle which could mean that some customers will not receive the full reduction. On existing policies, discounts apply from the date of next renewal.

Hoons Number One Community Frustration in Metro Area

2009-11-20T00:45:00.004-08:00

SGIO research* into local community issues reveals hoons to be the number one neighbourhood frustration for people living in the Perth metro area.

(PRWEB) November 20, 2009 -- Research* by Car Insurance provider SGIO into local community issues reveals hoons to be the number one neighbourhood frustration for people living in the Perth metro area.

The SGIO survey of more than 800 people across Perth found that hoons on local streets were deemed to be the most frustrating aspect of life in their neighbourhood.

The second greatest frustration for nearly half of all people surveyed was litter on local streets, closely followed by noisy neighbours and heavy traffic on local roads.

SGIO Car Insurance Corporate Affairs Manager Rob Cory said the survey revealed how easily people's lives and lifestyles could be impacted by the actions of others in their community.

"The manner in which we drive, the respect we show our neighbours, and the way we treat our local environment appear to have a big impact on how our community functions," he said.

Other local community frustrations focused on convenience - or the lack of it - with more than a third of people admitting to being frustrated with local public transport options and shopping hours.

The survey forms part of ongoing research by SGIO Car Insurance into trends and issues that impact on people's homes and local communities across the Perth metro area and regional WA.

SGIO also works with community partners Kidsafe WA and the Salvation Army to help safeguard WA's unique way of life through the development of safer, stronger communities.

Mr Cory said that the journey towards safer, stronger communities in Western Australia often began within our own homes and local neighbourhoods.

"A sense of belonging and connection to our communities can deliver a range of sustainable long-term benefits including less crime, safer roads and lower carbon emissions," he said.

Most frustrating aspects of life in the Perth metro area*

1. Hoons on local streets 59%
2. Litter on local streets 52%
3. Noisy neighbours 46%
4. Heavy traffic 45%
5. Parking on verge/property 39%
6. Public transport options 36%
7. Local shopping hours 35%
8. Neighbours' pets 35%

FreeElectricCar.com Says Customers Need to Hurry to Take Advantage of the Stimulus Package for a Free Electric Car

2009-11-20T00:45:00.003-08:00

Thanks to President Obama's stimulus package earlier this year, Americans can get a tax credit that is bigger than the 'Cash for Clunkers' or 'First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit' programs. It's a tax credit for almost $6500 towards an electric vehicle - so the car is essentially free after rebate. To qualify the car can be purchased online up until December 31st 2009.

You need Flash to see the Feature Video

Here’s an example: you can get a 4 passenger vehicle that we have on sale for $6,496. That’s the amount of the federal tax credit available right now through December 31, 2009. So it’s essentially free.

Arizona (PRWEB) November 20, 2009 -- Time is running out on an incredible free electric car offer made possible by President Obama's stimulus program. www.FreeElectricCar.com sells electric vehicles that have been certified to qualify for a federal tax credit. The story has been covered by Good Morning America, the Wall Street Journal, CNN and other major news outlets.

FreeElectricCar.com - Electric Cars Get a Stimulus Package Too

To take advantage of the offer, taxpayers must purchase a qualified vehicle on or before December 31, 2009. The demand for the cars has been so high that electric car dealers like Drive Electric have been running low or running out of inventory. The vehicles can be purchased online and take approximately 4-6 weeks to be delivered.

Not all vehicles qualify for the Qualified Plug-In Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit. "The tax refund on an electric car is based on the specific model vehicle and how efficient it is. Because they have the latest technology and the best available high capacity batteries, the Zone models at FreeElectricCar.com have a much higher credit than other cars," said Drive Electric CEO Colin Reilly.

With each electric vehicle purchased, the new owner will receive a certified "Proof of Purchase" from Drive Electric to document the date of purchase and a copy of the IRS Certification letter. A new tax form, 8936 was created for taxpayers to claim the credit.

Reilly notes that this is a tax credit. That means a dollar for dollar reduction in taxes owed to the IRS. It is not an income deduction. For tax already paid through withholding or estimated payments, the credit amount comes in the form of a refund.

"Here's an example: you can get a 4 passenger vehicle that we have on sale for $6,496. That's the amount of the federal tax credit available right now through December 31, 2009. So it's essentially free," he said.

Businesses also like the cars to transport groups of people around at festivals, events and places that demand a lot of traffic. The vehicles are ideal for transporting people in poor health across large parking lots or areas. If the vehicles purchased are for business use, credits in excess of Federal tax liability can be carried back 1 year and carried forward 20 years.

The vehicles go 25mph and are ideal as second cars for short quick trips across town. The cost to buy, maintain, insure and operate the cars is much less than regular gas-powered cars.

Pedata RV Notices RV Buyers Returning – Class A RVs Are Selling

2009-11-20T00:45:00.002-08:00

Pedata RV Center found consumers opening their wallets and buying big ticket items like Class A gas and Diesel Pusher RVs.

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 20, 2009 -- RV sales have increased from 2008. Trade shows are reporting higher than expected attendance and sales reservations. Consumers are opening their wallets and starting to buy big ticket items again. RV shipments are projected to total 185,800 units in 2010, a 26.5% increase from the projected 2009 total, according to RV industry analyst and director of consumer surveys at the University of Michigan Dr. Richard Curtin.

Pedata RV Center logo

Large, luxury RV purchases are regaining momentum. Just a few of the amenities that designate RVs in the luxury category include central vacuum, 3 way color back up monitor, fully automatic leveling system, sleep number bed, power awning, entertainment centers, pantries, surround sound, ceramic floors and thermal pane windows.

Tax incentives and retired baby boomers are jump-starting the luxury RV industry after a tough recession. Today one in ten vehicle owning households in the 50 – 64 age range own an RV, reports RVIA. With millions of baby boomers still on their way to retirement, that number will rise as the economy rights itself.

“We are seeing business pick up in Class A RVs and Diesel Pushers,” says Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center. “The economy has made these RVs a more desirable and affordable way to travel.”

The SGIO Apprentice of the Year will further hone his skills at the V8 Supercar event in Perth later this month following his recent return from an international training academy.

(PRWEB) November 20, 2009 -- The SGIO Car Insurance Apprentice of the Year will further hone his skills at the V8 Supercar event in Perth later this month following his recent return from an international training academy.

Thirty-one year old mature-aged apprentice panel beater and Alfred Cove resident Cameron Clarke will have the opportunity to work on repairing specialist materials including composite plastics used in the V8 races over the weekend as a member of the SGIO Smash Repair Team.

Cameron has just returned from the Car-O-Liner Academy in Sweden, where he undertook intensive training on computer based damage diagnosis and repair processes required for many of the new materials used in vehicle construction.

The Swedish academy is renowned for the quality of its training programs, which aim to enhance students' knowledge of collision repairs and improve productivity and quality.

Another member of the SGIO Smash Repair Team will be Donna-Marie Albela who was a member of SGIO's Autobody Scholarship group, which commenced in 2007.

Teachers from Swan TAFE will also form part of the SGIO Smash Repair Team in the role of instructors and mentors to support the apprentices over the weekend.

SGIO spokesperson Rob Cory said the aim of the SGIO Car Insurance Apprentice of the Year award was to attract and retain young people within the autobody repair industry.

"We work with repairers to help make the smash repair industry an appealing career option for school leavers," Mr Cory said.

"It's in the interests of insurers and repairers to attract and retain the highest quality trades people within the industry and the Apprentice of the Year program helps us achieve this."

Apprentice panel beaters or vehicle painters employed within the SGIO repairer network are nominated for the annual award by the WA insurer's industry partners.

Cameron received the award working in many different industries and deciding to explore the possibility of completing an apprenticeship in panel beating as a mature-aged student.

As the winner of this year's award Cameron receives financial support from SGIO for ongoing training and career development over the next twelve months.

The V8 Supercar event at Wanneroo's Barbagallo Raceway takes place from November 20th to the 22nd.

NRMA Insurance Announces Australia's Safest Cars

2009-11-20T00:45:00.000-08:00

NRMA Insurance has announced that www.nrma.com.au has a new safety section designed to help consumers choose their next new car.

Hopefully by publishing these results, consumers can make an informed choice when they next purchase a car or work vehicle.

(PRWEB) November 20, 2009 -- Car Insurance provider NRMA Insurance has announced that www.nrma.com.au has a new safety section designed to help consumers choose their next new car.

The website recommends cars in each vehicle class based on three safety criteria including the latest ANCAP crash tests results, head restraint design and whether the car has (at least) optional Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

Research reveals that safety is the most important consideration when choosing a car for only 20 per cent* of NSW drivers. The Car Insurance provider hopes the website will increase interest in safety and provide the information necessary to help with the decision of buying a new car.

NRMA Insurance spokesperson Robert McDonald said the results listed on the website will be of interest to consumers and car manufacturers alike.

"It is pleasing to see the Australian designed and built Ford Falcon leading the way in the large vehicle class," said Mr McDonald. "It proves the point that consumers don't have to look overseas or spend top dollar to find a safe car.

"Like the Ford Falcon, the Holden Commodore was a five star performer in the ANCAP tests. Unfortunately though, the Commodore's poor head restraint meant the Falcon was the only car we recommended in the large vehicle class."

Mr McDonald said it was encouraging to see the Holden Commodore utility become the first in its class to be awarded an ANCAP five star rating. But like the Holden Commodore sedan, it was omitted from the recommended list because of its head restraint.

"It is disappointing our research team was unable to recommend any of the utilities or vans that we tested.

Although the Ford and Commodore utes and Mitsubishi Triton performed solidly, more still needs to be done by all manufacturers.

"Hopefully by publishing these results, consumers can make an informed choice when they next purchase a car or work vehicle."

For the full list of the safest vehicles in each class, visit www.nrma.com.au/safercars. The website will continue to be updated as new cars are released.

AirTime is designed with those markets in mind, as well as the often-overlooked small business market. Organizations can sign up for the free trial online at www.lathem.com/AirTime.

Lathem Solar Clock

"In today's economic climate, time is more critical than ever to optimize daily operations and stay competitive. Synchronized time allows everyone to share the exact same schedule; it keeps the workplace harmonized. When everyone in a building sees the same time, to the second, there's little room for late excuses," said Lance Whipple, Lathem vice-president of Sales and Marketing. "We want to make it easy for businesses of any size to sample this product, see how easy it is to install and experience the benefits of synchronicity. We're excited for people to try it."

The standard AirTime trial system consists of one wireless time signal transmitter (model ATX), two battery-operated wall clocks and one solar-powered wall clock that uses a room's light to power the clock. However, depending on a company's needs, a customized trial system is also available. There is no obligation to purchase the system. The customer can simply return the product if they choose after 30 days.

The trial system does not require any professional installation. The customer simply installs the included batteries in the transmitter and clocks and hangs them on the wall. Lathem offers free factory technical support if any questions arise during the install process. Because there are no wires, customers can change the location of the clocks to fit their exact needs. The solar-powered clock, which recycles a room's existing lighting, offers another "green" element to a company's existing energy conservation efforts.

Detailed information on the offer can be found on Lathem's website at www.lathem.com/AirTime.

About AirTime
AirTime can help a business save money by eliminating the need for costly wiring. A single AirTime wireless transmitter can communicate time to an unlimited number of clocks in an entire building and even across large campuses. Unique to the industry, AirTime also offers a battery powered "mini transmitter" for small locations, and they can be linked together to extend coverage as needs grow. AirTime clocks also feature a high quality clock movement that provides a smooth sweeping second hand for precision timekeeping.

Tackle Web Guiding and Edge Control with CrossCheckTM

2009-11-19T06:45:00.001-08:00

Bytewise Measurement Systems explains why CrossCheckTM Laser Profile Sensors are perfectly suited to monitor and control web based materials and extrusions. One or two laser profile sensors can be used to measure web width and thickness as well as provide height based feature tracking and edge guiding. CrossCheckTM will drastically improve the precision of operators using Micrometer snap gages to measure thickness online. The line laser based technology measures flat sheet and extruded products like rubber, plastic, wood, composite materials, PVC and metal. It requires no reflective tape, LED arrays or back lighting, like camera based systems that require cleaning and maintenance to keep operational. The system can also measure shape-based parameters like thickness, step height, width, angle, radius, location, gap and depth. The affordable CrossCheckTM 3D laser measurement system is used by R&D, Engineering, Production, Quality and Maintenance personnel to validate product dimensions and tolerances. Academia and R&D facilities use CrossCheckTM for product development and material studies like soft material and parts with profiles that can’t be effectively measured by hand calipers.

(Vocus/PRWEB ) November 19, 2009 -- Extrusions and flat web based materials must be measured to control the process, save material cost, insure product tolerance and quality. Width and thickness are as critical to multi layered fabrics as edge guiding is to windup and/or splicing operations. Bytewise Measurement Systems explains why the affordable CrossCheckTM Laser Profile Sensors are perfectly suited to monitor and control web based and extruded materials. One or two laser profile sensors can be used to measure web width and thickness as well as provide height based feature tracking and edge guiding. The line laser based technology measures flat sheet and extruded products like rubber, plastic, wood, composite materials, PVC and metal.

CrossCheck Laser Profile Sensors

It requires no back lighting like camera based systems. Cameras need an LED array, reflective tape or back light to distinguish and contrast the edge of the material, which leads to dirt and material buildup on the light source underneath the material line. Operators must often clean and maintain the system. The CrossCheckTM pre-calibrated 3D laser measurement sensors mount over the material to profile the edge of the product. The built in laser line illuminates the surface of the material to accurately measure the edge width and thickness to greater than 0.030mm (0.0018”). The physical geometry is also measured and can be used for height based feature tracking as well and edge guiding for windup or splicing applications.

The fact that the CrossCheckTM Measurement System is non-contact insures a stable reading every time. The sensors can be mounted over a precision roller to track, measure or calculate thickness of the edge while at the same time auto-zeroing to the roller surface for precise gauge control or monitoring. Operations that manually use Micrometer snap gages and measuring tapes can drastically improve the repeatability and precision of product thickness and width. If the material is ridged or cannot be guided over a precision roller the sensors can be mounted on a C-Frame or O-Frame with one sensor on top and one the bottom to calculate thickness and for edge guiding. This also compensates for vibration or pass-line movement of material passing through the measurement station.

The CrossCheck Software Viewer displays real-time product width, thickness and geometric dimensions. The CrossCheckTM laser sensors are the primary measurement device while the CrossCheckTM Software provides users with simple to use “shape tools” that act as virtual micrometers. Set up of the shape tools is simple and intuitive. Shape Tools are used to fit data to a Circle, Rectangle, Vertex, Line, Gap, Bump or Step Change. Shape Tools are used to set up tolerances and calculate dimensions to control thickness, width, radius, diameter, height, angle, gap, depth and location of key features. The unique Auto-Anchor and Data Leveling cancel out and stabilize the profiles displayed on screen. Bytewise also designed the CrossCheckTM product line for a wide variety of factory automation applications including process control, part inspection, robotic guidance, and shape check for industries including; automotive, aerospace, rubber, plastics, wood, metal and building materials.

“CrossCheckTM pre-calibrated sensors are easy to use and perfect for a variety of process gauging applications. Extrusion and Web based inspection as well as component part features can be measured with high repeatability and precision” says Mike Snow, Product Manager.

The entire organization now benefits from the CrossCheckTM high resolution, low cost 3D laser measurement system. R&D, Engineering, Production, Quality and Maintenance personnel use CrossCheckTM to validate product dimensional quality. An Ecommerce Online Store is now open for users to purchase CrossCheckTM Laser Profile Sensors. Purchase a starter kit for $8950.00 or build a system starting at $8490.00. The CrossCheckTM software can set up Pass/Fail trigger alerts and output two analog feedback control loops for direct machine control. Data can be collected and stored to a file and custom software solutions can be written to utilize the raw X-Y coordinates over Ethernet. The product is backed by a 30 Day No Risk Evaluation period and one year manufactures warranty.

US Hole In One, a leading provider in hole in one insurance and prize coverage offers great prizes that are sure to bring a crowd even during this downturn in the economy.

Bryn Mawr, PA (PRWEB) November 19, 2009 -- The idea of “cutting back” has become a way of life for many people over these past two years. Individuals are spending less on things that are not necessities in an attempt to save more. The sport of golf is not immune to these economic pressures and in speaking to golf tournament organizers across the country it is clear that enrollment is down for a variety of golf outings whether they be charity, corporate or recreational events. Event organizers are finding it difficult to get the turn out that they have had in the past years, car dealers and other sponsors are more hesitant to provide prizes for the event and people are all around less likely register to play in tournaments.

Bonus Prizes & Signs

President of US Hole In One, Greg Esterhai believes that promoting prizes for a hole in one or putting contest is an effective way to stave off attrition and actually help increase participation at the event, especially during such tough times. According to Esterhai, “By offering an incentive such as a chance to win a big prize at your tournament, you are sure to generate more buzz for your specific event that will draw more people to play.”

By offering an incentive such as a chance to win a big prize at your tournament, you are sure to generate more buzz for your specific event that will draw more people to play.

In asking Esterhai for details regarding the hole in one insurance program offered by his company he explains that, “Securing coverage on your event won’t break your budget! For example, an average golf tournament with 72 golfers playing on a 175 yard par 3 of 175 yards for a chance to win a $10,000 prize can cost under $200.” This price includes all of the amenities that come with a standard prize package as offered by US Hole In One when coverage is purchased for a grand prize hole. The prize package includes bonus prizes for the other par 3 holes on the course and signs for all of the prize holes so golfers know what they are shooting for when they get up to a particular hole. US Hole In One has also extended its relationship for 2010 with Warrior Golf and will continue to offer a free golf club to each golfer playing in a tournament where hole in one coverage is provided by US Hole In One.

US Hole In One is a leading provider of contest prize coverage for golf tournaments and other events.

The Return of the One Car Family?

2009-11-19T00:45:00.003-08:00

Cost of motoring is down year-on-year, although cash-strapped drivers feel no benefit.

London (PRWEB) November 19, 2009 -- The cost of motoring for Britain's 30 million drivers has fallen 5% (£123) in 2009 to £2,219, according to RAC's annual Cost of Motoring Index¹. Despite this small reduction, an RAC poll revealed that eight out of 10 cash-strapped motorists still believe that the cost of running their car has risen². And in response nearly half of those surveyed (45%) have been making significant changes to their motoring lifestyle over the last year, such as reducing their car ownership and moving towards a one car household.

The drop in the cost of motoring has been driven primarily by the price of fuel. While the price of petrol and diesel has fluctuated over the last twelve months, costs have fallen overall by 10% to £1,184 per year. Diesel in particular has become much cheaper, with prices falling 14%.

The Cost of Motoring (CoM) Index focuses on the day to day running costs that have a tangible impact on motorists' pockets. This includes road tax, fuel, insurance, maintenance and breakdown cover. For the first time the 2009 Index also calculates the annual running costs for used cars,³ which is £2,744, 24% (£525) higher than for new vehicles.

Changes In Motoring Lifestyles

The return of the one car family
45% of motorists surveyed have made changes to their car ownership habits in 2009 and of these, a fifth have returned to running just one car. This group are saving on average £229 per month on the running costs of a used car according to the CoM Index.

In addition to these new one car households, 28% of motorists stated that they're using their car less and 6% admitted downsizing their vehicle for a smaller model. Unsurprisingly the need to save money was cited as the most common reason for making a change. And motorists are embracing these changes, with two-thirds claiming they won't revert back once the economy improves.

Commenting on this year's findings, RAC motoring strategist Adrian Tink said:

"It's been a tough year for motorists, and while it's good news that the costs of running a car have slightly dropped in the past 12 months, it probably won't feel like it at a time when the family budget is being squeezed from all sides. So despite the drop, the overriding desire for drivers is to cut back where they can.

"We're seeing motorists really question how they use their cars. The trend towards the one car family shows how people are prepared to make fundamental lifestyle changes for the benefit of themselves, their families and their pockets. But such change for a lot of drivers is still merely an aspiration, with practical difficulties caused by work and family needs or a lack of alternatives, such as inadequate public transport, stopping them in their tyre tracks."

Women more likely to downsize than men
Women are twice as likely to have downsized their vehicle in the last 12 months compared to men. According to the CoM Index, a motorist can save £769 a year by downsizing from a large saloon to a small car. Small cars (e.g. Vauxhall Corsa) are £235 (11%) cheaper than the average to run. By contrast, large saloons (e.g. Peugeot 407) and MPVs (e.g. Ford Galaxy) are £534 (24%) and £635 (29%) more expensive to run than the average.

Women drivers have also quickly re-evaluated the role of a car in their lives, 9 out of 10 have found positive benefits in using their car less and 73% said the changes they've made will be permanent.

Avoiding going into the red is more important than going green
Only 28% of motorists cited environmental benefits as an incentive for change. Saving money was rated the top benefit, although 35% of those motorists who have made changes appreciated their actions had an environmental impact too. The CoM Index revealed that owners of used cars pay £29 (25%) more in road tax, proving that owning a newer and greener car can help reduce motoring costs.

Trapped motorists
One in four (26%) motorists surveyed said they couldn't afford to downsize or reduce the number of vehicles they own, with a further 8% unable to sell their current vehicle in order to fund a change. This group of motorists are effectively trapped, unable either to raise the money, secure a loan or sell their car outright to buy a smaller vehicle. Only 6% of those surveyed, who'd made changes by downsizing their car, mentioned the scrappage scheme as the reason for their change.

According to the CoM Index, maintenance costs are £421 (115%) higher on average for used cars, further compounding the problem for this group. Most used vehicles, between three to six years old, require significant investment in new tyres too, which can account for up to 40% of annual maintenance costs.

A further 34% of motorists polled considered reducing their car use in 2009, but didn't; deeming public transport a considerable barrier (21%), as well as not wishing to sacrifice the freedom their car provides (41%), and recognising that they would be unable to fulfil family requirements if they did (23%).

Drivers who can't make changes to their motoring lifestyle should try and maintain their vehicle to the best of their ability. RAC recommend motorists check their tyre pressure regularly, quickly rectifying any small defects on their car, keep the service history up to date and regularly wash and wax, which will all help maintain both the value and sense of pride in a vehicle during a tough economic time.

I think our phone manufacturers and providers should require that DriveSafe.ly be preprogrammed on to all new phones effective immediately

Newark, N.J. (PRWEB) November 19, 2009 -- DriveSafe.ly, the free mobile app aiming to stop distracted driving, launched seven weeks ago and has been used by over one million people. The app is reading millions of text messages (SMS) aloud per week to drivers around the world -- keeping their eyes on the road.

DriveSafe.ly Icon

“If your software (DriveSafe.ly) had been available in 2007, maybe my husband, Chuck would still be here with me, and the texter would have made his ice hockey practice,” says Weida Stoecker about DriveSafe.ly. Stoecker lost her husband in a car accident caused by a teenager texting while driving. She continues, “I think our phone manufacturers and providers should require that DriveSafe.ly be preprogrammed on to all new phones effective immediately.”

DriveSafe.ly, which was just yesterday nominated for the prestigious 2009 Mashable Open Web Award for Best Mobile App, reads text messages and emails in real-time without any action from the user. The latest version features a ‘Speed Activated’ feature which turns the app on automatically when driving and off when exiting the vehicle, making it truly hands-free and easy for drivers.

“DriveSafe.ly is taking off because people want to stay connected while they drive, and do it in a safe way” says Heath Ahrens, CEO of iSpeech and creator of DriveSafe.ly. “I recommend that everyone install DriveSafe.ly, not because I work for the company behind it, but because I actually use it and it stops texting while driving.”

About DriveSafe.ly
The unprecedented DriveSafe.ly app reads text messages and emails aloud in real-time and automatically responds without users touching their mobile phone. Developed by iSpeech.org founder, Heath Ahrens, DriveSafe.ly utilizes iSpeech.org text to speech software as a service (SaaS) in hopes of eliminating the danger created by the growing number of Americans who text while they drive. For more information or to download the app please visit www.DriveSafe.ly.

About Weida Stoecker
Weida Stoecker is a well respected spokesperson against texting while driving, speaking for the AAA Safety Foundation on the Today Show, Maryland Transportation Dept, Maryland Highway Safety Foundation and Stevenson University. Since her husband’s untimely death caused by a texting teen driver, she has put much of her time and energy in successfully advocating Maryland lawmakers to ban texting while driving. Weida holds her masters degree in elementary education from George Washington University and pursued a 30 year career in education, teaching special ed in the Baltimore area.

DezignWorks brings Intelligent Reverse Engineering capabilities to SolidWorks 2010

2009-11-19T00:45:00.000-08:00

Integrated software allows users to perform feature based reverse engineering functions with new added functionality to capture data directly inside the SolidWorks environment.

You need Flash to see the Feature Video

Mooresville, NC (PRWEB) November 19, 2009 -- Creative Dezign Concepts Inc today announced that DezignWorks, a feature based reverse engineering software product, supports SolidWorks 2010 3D mechanical design software. Engineers and designers use DezignWorks and SolidWorks to capture data from existing parts directly within the SolidWorks environment maintaining the associativity so they can design better products faster and more accurately, speeding time to market.

A SolidWorks Certified Gold Product, DezignWorks enables users to perform reverse engineering functions directly inside the SolidWorks interface and create feature based models utilizing digitizer devices such as Faro, Romer and MicroScribe. DezignWorks in conjunction with SolidWorks 2010 expands on the software's legacy of ease of use, design power, and affordability by also providing users with comprehensive drawing tools and new productivity features that will speed the adoption of 3D design around the world. DezignWorks gives engineers the functionality to capture data from their existing part and create an intelligent feature based model, allowing the engineer to make changes rapidly while preserving the associativity to the part. DezignWorks can be used in a part or an assembly.

Dezignworks again is bringing the latest innovative features to reverse engineering inside of Solidworks with their Dezignworks 10 release for Solidworks 2010. Building on 7 years of feature based reverse engineering experience; the latest release of Dezignworks 10 now has the ability to create alignments to any work plan inside of Solidworks so your orientation, position in 3D space and position for 2D drawing creation is just like Solidworks. Also in Dezignworks 10 existing functionality was enhanced, lock plane and lock surface functions that allow you to scan a part with a probe similar to the way you would with a laser, now have added functionality and improved performance. Storing the movement when you scan so that you only have to probe once and use as many times as you need to is now enhanced with load last scan and the ability to merge scans. New for Dezignworks 10, you can now create points at the center of a sphere, edge or circle; you can also save out any set of points as a text file to be loaded in for Solidworks to create a curve through them. These are just a few of the many enhancements to Dezignworks in the latest release.

"Engineers shouldn't have to move between 2-3 different applications to finish a product design," said Jim Watson, CEO of Creative Dezign Concepts and creators of Dezignworks. "Integrating DezignWorks with SolidWorks means engineers can begin reverse engineering their existing parts directly within the SolidWorks environment. That saves time and helps manufacturers meet tight production deadlines."

In conjunction with the release of Dezignworks 10, Creative Dezign Concepts has launched a new Youtube channel highlighting the functionality of the latest release of the software. Hear you can find the latest features, demonstrations and tips and tricks for the use and application of the software. You tube Channel Johnny Kim, Sales Manager for Creative Dezign Concepts commented, "With the addition of our Youtube channel along with our existing support staff and technical newsletters, we believe we are bringing not only the best product to the market for reverse engineering inside of Solidworks but also the best customer experience and ongoing value to the market."

Combining Solidworks with DezignWorks gives engineers the tools they need to do their jobs faster and better by performing reverse engineering functions inside SolidWorks, creating intelligent data that conforms to SolidWorks and allows engineers to make changes to the data. Complex shapes can be captured quickly and accurately. DezignWorks is the only product of its kind that has the ability to randomly move the digitizer across the surface of the part and store the movement of the digitizer device for immediate use or at a later determined time. New or existing data can be added and simply reloaded into the database. Because of its depth of integration to the SolidWorks interface engineers are productive in a few hours.

The SolidWorks Partner Program features products and services that complement SolidWorks products. Certified Gold Products are fully integrated with SolidWorks and provide users with instant access to the partner application within the SolidWorks window. Solution Partner products offer a variety of integration methods with SolidWorks software, including the SolidWorks application programming interface (API) and established industry standard file formats. SolidWorks has more partners in the mid-range CAD market than any competing technologies, with more than 600 companies worldwide participating in the SolidWorks Partner Program.

A recent study estimated that 80% of new designs came from existing designs, usually an existing part. Utilizing DezignWorks a feature based product instead of a point cloud product gives the engineer the ability to capture the exact shape, even complex surfaces, directly inside the SolidWorks interface and then make changes rapidly to meet the needs of the new products and improve the design for the ever changing market needs. DezignWorks offers best- fit capabilities for lines, arcs, circles and splines. DezignWorks offers several utilities for curve editing such as maintaining minimum distance while capturing complex curves as well as spline uniformity tool.
