     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Highlights:</p>

<p>-    Harris delivering AN/PRC-117G manpack and new AN/PRC-152A handheld radios<br />-    Radios connect all echelons of the battlefield through wideband networking of voice and high-bandwidth data<br />-    Leverages Harris&#39; expanding wideband portfolio to provide wideband networking across the battlefield</p>

<p><strong>MELBOURNE, FL/ROCHESTER, NY</strong> &#8212; Harris Corporation (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=HRS" target="_blank">NYSE:HRS</a>), an international communications and information technology company, has received $4.8 million in orders from the U.S. Department of Defense for Falcon III&#174; AN/PRC-152A handheld and AN/PRC-117G manpack tactical radios. These radios provide DoD forces all the way to the tactical edge with wideband networking for enhanced situational awareness and command and control.</p>

<p>This is the first time the DoD has acquired both the AN/PRC-117G and AN/PRC-152A in a single order. The two radios were recently deployed together at the Army&#39;s Network Integration Evaluation. In that exercise, the radios extended wideband communication capabilities across an area in excess of 3,200 square miles.</p>

<p>The radios together deliver battlefield networking capabilities that address the requirements of the entire combat team, from brigade to squad and on to the individual dismounted soldier. The AN/PRC-117G and AN/PRC-152A are next-generation software-defined radios that provide secure voice, video and data communications, enabling network-enabled missions through advanced applications such as streaming video and collaborative chat.</p>

<p>&#34;This order provides the DOD with field-proven radios that will deliver mission-critical voice, video and data from the networked battlefield to its warfighters operating at the edge,&#34; said George Helm, president, Department of Defense business, Harris RF Communications. &#34;Our Falcon III radios are enabling unprecedented communications among U.S. forces.&#34;</p>

<p>The AN/PRC-117G manpack is combat proven, with more than 16,000 radios shipped. The new AN/PRC-152A serves as a complement to the AN/PRC-117G, providing wideband networking and legacy voice in a lightweight, portable handheld form factor.</p>

<p>The AN/PRC-152A offers tactical users the broadest set of capabilities in any handheld radio. Wideband networking capabilities will initially be provided by the Harris Adaptive Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2). The JTRS Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) to be added to the radio later this year. The AN/PRC-152A also hosts SINCGARS, VHF/UHF Line-of-Sight (VULOS), HaveQuick, IW for tactical satellite communications and other combat net radio waveforms. This makes the AN/PRC-152A the only Type-1 certified wideband networking handheld radio that is also fully interoperable with deployed DoD radios.</p>

<p>The AN/PRC-117G is a NSA Type-1 certified wideband manpack radio system, operating both ANW2 and SRW. With its fully integrated and NSA-certified High Assurance Internet Protocol Equipment (HAIPE) networking encryption, the AN/PRC-117G provides the highest level of information assurance connectivity to tactical units. More than 16,000 AN/PRC-117G radios are deployed by all branches of the U.S. Department of Defense, federal agencies, and key allies such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, other NATO countries and Australia.</p>

<p>Harris RF Communications is the leading global supplier of secure radio communications and embedded high-grade encryption solutions for military, government and commercial organizations. The company&#39;s Falcon&#174; family of software-defined tactical radio systems encompasses manpack, handheld and vehicular applications. Falcon III is the next generation of radios supporting the U.S. military&#39;s Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) requirements, as well as network-centric operations worldwide. Harris RF Communications is also a leading supplier of assured communications&#174; systems and equipment for public safety, utility and transportation markets &#8212; with products ranging from the most advanced IP voice and data networks to portable and mobile single- and multiband radios.</p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Twinsburg, Ohio &#8211; January 20, 2012 &#8212;</strong> L.J. Star announces that it offers a full line of Metaglas&#174; <a href="http://www.ljstar.com/products/products.aspx?pl=6" target="_blank"  >sight glass</a> products. Made by fusing pure borosilicate glass within a stainless steel ring, the result is prestressed glass with the strength of steel.<br />Metaglas is the No. 1 selling <span style="font-style: italic">fused sight glass</span>, installed in more plants around the world than any other brand. A unique combination of metal and glass formulas make Metaglas sight glasses 4.5x stronger than comparable products. The results are superior safety, a wider operating range, and a long, worry-free service life.<br />Unlike other sight glass designs, Metaglas meets stringent quality standards such as DIN 7079, DIN 7080, ASME BPE, and ASTM E438, and it is approved for USP Type I use.</p>

<p>Metaglas <a href="http://www.ljstar.com/products/products.aspx?pl=6" target="_blank"  >sight glass windows</a> are suitable for general applications and aseptic use, including applications in flange sight ports, circular weld pads, visual flow indicators, threaded ferrule sight ports and sanitary clamps. The metal component is standard as duplex stainless steel but carbon steel and Hastelloy &#39;C&#39; is also available.</p>

<p>These products serve a wide variety of applications: threaded sight glasses in hazardous locations, compression chambers, sight glass illumination, fluid measurement and turbulence in gear housings. Special ANSI bolt-on flanges for flat faced flanges are also available.</p>

<p>Testing has shown the Metaglas sight glass to be safe at pressures far exceeding rated pressure. A video shows a Metaglas sight glass under 20 times normal pressure being struck with a steel projectile. Although the surface is chipped, the sight glass remains leak tight. See extreme pressure test sight-glass video: <a href="http://www.ljstar.com/pubs/45.htm" target="_blank"  ><a href="http://www.ljstar.com/pubs/45.htm" target="_blank">www.ljstar.com/pubs/45.htm</a></a>.</p>

<p><strong>Metaglas History </strong><br />In the 1970s, because of the safety risks of conventional sight glass windows, a chemical processor asked longtime glassmaker Herbert&#39;s Industrieglas to develop a safer sight glass. Herbert&#39;s started to experiment with fusing glass to metal. Although this technology was not new, it was primarily done with materials unsuitable for chemical processing. The development received technical, funding, and testing assistance from major chemical companies Hoechst-Celanese, Bayer AG and BASF, who sought a sight glass that would eliminate the risk of failure and worker injury. The answer was a revolutionary sight glass made by fusing borosilicate glass to a stainless steel ring. Named Metaglas because of its incredible strength and safety, it quickly became the leading fused sight glass in the world.</p>

<p><strong>About L.J. Star</strong><br />L.J. Star Incorporated provides an extensive line of process observation equipment &#8212; sight glasses, lights, sanitary fittings, and level gage instrumentation. Product lines include Metaglas&#174; Safety Sight Windows, Lumiglas&#174; Explosion Proof Lights and Cameras, Visual Flow Indicators, Sight Ports, Sanitary Clamps, Magnetic Level Gages and Gage Glass.  Metaglas is the #1 selling <strong>fused sight glass</strong>, proven in thousands of installations around the world. Unlike some other sight glasses, it meets stringent DIN 7079 and DIN 7080 quality standards, and it is approved for USP Type I use.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>HONEYWELL MAKES IT EASY FOR OEMS TO RESEARCH AND BUY THE RIGHT SENSING AND CONTROL COMPONENTS</strong></p>

<p><br /><strong><span style="font-style: italic">New Sensing and Control Website Includes Powerful Product Finder and Distributor Inventory Search Features.</span></strong></p>

<p> MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 17, 2012 &#8211; Honeywell <strong>(<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=HON" target="_blank">NYSE:HON</a>)</strong> Sensing and Control (S&amp;C) has launched a new easy-to-use, full-featured website that makes it easy for developers and OEMs to find, order and purchase the right sensing and control components for their industrial, medical, transportation, test and measurement, or aerospace solutions.</p>

<p>The newly upgraded <a href="http://sensing.honeywell.com/" target="_blank"  >sensing.honeywell.com</a> web environment encompasses a variety of microsites, portals, customer resources and web-based applications. These include a new distributor inventory stock check tool, sales rep/authorized distributor (Rep/AD) portal and product sample portal for channel partners, a supplier microsite, and the unique TruStability&#174; product configurator.</p>

<p>&#39;The Sensing and Control website was redesigned to better meet our customers&#39; needs,&#39; said Tony Sugalski, president, Honeywell Sensing and Control. &#39;Customer feedback was very clear; they wanted the same experience and simplicity of functionality they are accustomed to in popular consumer websites. And that&#39;s what we did. We updated our website to be more intuitive, efficient and easier to use.&#39;            </p>

<p>The new site offers four key improvements:- </p>

<p>- <strong>Faster and more intuitive search capability.</strong></p>

<p>The new enhanced search engine is now more efficient and comprehensive with drop-down navigation functionality.         </p>

<p><strong>- Spotlight on new products.</strong></p>

<p>All the information for new products, including downloadable data sheets, is now directly available from the home page         </p>

<p><strong>- New Distributor Inventory Stock-Check application.</strong></p>

<p>After selecting a product, a list immediately displays which Honeywell channel partners have the product in stock and for what price. The customer can click on a link that automatically populates the distributor&#39;s shopping cart without leaving the Honeywell S&amp;C site. The customer can easily compare and choose from multiple distributor shopping carts simultaneously.         </p>

<p><strong>- Smart phone enabled.</strong></p>

<p>Mobile version of the website with the core functionality our users asked for.</p>

<p> &#39;The reconstructed site now includes speedy, highly intuitive site search and navigational tools that put the information customers need at their fingertips &#8211; quickly and easily,&#39; said Kim Anderberg, Director of Marketing Communications and e-business.  &#39;I like to call it B2B eCommerce on steroids &#8211; an easy, seamless way to transact with our web-based channel partners&#39; shopping carts without leaving the Honeywell environment.&#39;<strong> </strong></p>

<p><br /><strong>Rep/AD and Product Sample Portal</strong></p>

<p>For Honeywell sales representatives and authorized distributors, the password-protected Rep/AD Portal is now directly accessible from the My Links section of the website, providing a single source for all Honeywell Sensing and Control communications including sales tools, product announcements, order management tools, policies and more. Also available exclusively to Honeywell channel partners, the new Sample Portal is accessible through the Rep/AD Portal and offers suppliers a simplified and automated process for product sample ordering.  </p>

<p><strong>TruStability&#174; Product Configurator </strong>(available February 2012)</p>

<p>Also available for Honeywell sales representatives and authorized distributors is the TruStability&#174; Configurator, a web-based application that helps customers narrow their search within Honeywell&#39;s TruStability&#174; platform of pressure sensors. The platform includes more than 250 product options and variables that translate into more than one million permutations. This new tool also provides a customized data sheet that is user-friendly and dynamic, offering &#39;like product&#39; options to customer-input application and time to delivery parameters. </p>

<p><strong>Sample Request</strong></p>

<p>New customers can also request samples on the new site. Found under the My Links section on the Home Page, the sample request link provides a request form that a customer can fill out and submit for follow-up by a Honeywell sales representative.   <br /><strong>Smart Device Friendly</strong></p>

<p>Honeywell Sensing and Control&#39;s new website is also available in a mobile version. It can be accessed with any smartphone or mobile tablet device. Once bookmarked to the device&#39;s home page, an icon appears which enables the site to perform like an app.<strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p>

<p><strong>Supplier Microsite</strong></p>

<p>The new supplier microsite provides information including policies, code of business conduct, self assessment, shipping information and more for our suppliers.  <br /><strong>                                                                       </strong><strong><a href="http://sensing.honeywell.com/press-releases" target="_blank"  ><br />View all Honeywell Sensing and Control press </a></strong><strong><a href="http://sensing.honeywell.com/press-releases" target="_blank"  >releases</a></p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Management at a Tennessee metal powders factory knew about the dangers of combustible dust before three accidents there killed five workers and injured three, concluded the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) last week.<br /> <br />Airborne iron powder ignited and caused flash fires in a Hoeganaes Corp. plant in Gallatin, TN in January and March 2011. In May, hydrogen leaking from a corroded pipe exploded, ignited the combustible dust, and created a fireball in the air.<br /> <br />The CSB found that Hoeganaes Corp. was aware that the combustible dust in its plant posed a threat to its workers, but failed to implement its scheduled plan of improvements. Instead the company relied on insufficient measures to protect workers, such as flame-resistant clothing. Unfortunately, this was not enough to save some from injury and death.<br /> <br />Federal figures show that deadly explosions from finely powdered food, wood, metals and chemicals happen each year in the U.S., killing and maiming multiple workers.<br /> <br />&#39;EMSL Analytical&#39;s testing services can help identify conditions that could lead to a preventable combustible dust explosion,&#39; states Matthew Maki, Sales Account Representative at EMSL Analytical, Inc. &#39;We provide analytical expertise coupled with industry leading customer service, working with our clients to tailor each testing project to their unique needs.&#39;<br /> <br />For more information on EMSL&#39;s combustible dust testing services, please contact Matthew Maki at (856) 303-2570, email <strong><a href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;:mmaki&#64;EMSL.com">mmaki&#64;EMSL.com</a></strong>, or visit <strong><a href="http://www.emsl.com/" target="_blank"  ><a href="http://www.EMSL.com" target="_blank">www.EMSL.com</a></a></strong>.<br /> <br /><strong>About EMSL Analytical, Inc.</strong><br />EMSL Analytical, Inc. is a full service testing company providing quality lab services under the same private ownership since 1981.
