Pushing Personal Driving Performance to the Limits With AMG Driving Academy

MORRISTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Schindler Elevator Corporation has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to install its PORT (Personal Occupant Requirement Terminal) elevator technology by real estate development company Related Midwest in Partnership with AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust at 516 Lakeshore Drive in Chicago. A 45-story, 500-unit luxury rental apartment tower, it is the first building in Chicago to benefit from Schindler’s award-winning destination dispatch elevator technology.

Best understood as the central nervous system of a building, the PORT Technology functions as a two-way communication interface between the occupants and the building’s environment. The system’s visible aspect is a sleek, futuristic device positioned at access points and elevators around the building. Behind the stylish touch screen is a powerful patented access control software system, capable not only of calculating the optimum route to any destination within the building, but also of “learning” how its occupants typically move around. With this information, PORT Technology primes the elevators to direct and transport people quickly and safely to their individual destinations. The system uses card readers or other media using RFID technology to identify passengers and automatically call elevators to take them most efficiently to their desired floors, customizing and personalizing each trip to the specific needs of the individuals.

“The PORT Technology recognizes occupants and responds to their individual needs,” says Michael Landis, vice president, Marketing for Schindler. “What makes the system special is the ease with which the building’s manager can design applications to accommodate a wide range of needs in real time. Whether it’s helping to meet new energy- efficiency goals, updating security, scheduling maintenance or adapting to people with special needs, unprecedented levels of customization can be achieved.”

“Related is excited to be the first to bring this innovative technology to Chicago. We continue to pride ourselves on producing only the most cutting edge Real Estate product,” says Curt Bailey, president of Related Midwest. “The convenience and luxury this new system will offer our residents is fundamental to the high standard of living we provide.”

PORT Technology Energy-Saving Features

Each PORT terminal’s proximity sensor tells it when to be active and at all other times puts it into low energy consumption mode. When the terminal screen illuminates, an ambient light sensor determines only the brightness level required, again optimizing energy usage. The PORT Technology helps ensure elevator trips are as efficient as possible. This produces a very resourceful use of energy even during heavy traffic. During light traffic the PORT Energy Control Option places nonessential elevators into an energy-conserving standby mode.

Energy Efficient Elevators

Schindler 7000 custom high-rise elevators will transport apartment residents to their destinations. Using the latest technology in elevator design and highly efficient permanent magnet motors, Schindler 7000 elevators feature Power Factor 1 drives that reduce energy consumption by up to 35% compared to standard drives and regenerate energy back into the building’s electrical system. The recovered energy can be used to power other building demands such as lighting, air conditioning or other equipment. The Power Factor 1 drive generates less heat, providing additional savings through reduced cooling requirements for the machine room.

Scheduled to open for residents in May 2013, the building will be an impressive addition to the Chicago skyline offering signature views of Lake Michigan and access to unrivaled amenities. Designed by architects from Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) and constructed by General Contractor Lend Lease, it will include 500 residential rental apartments, a parking garage, and retail space. The development will incorporate sustainable features to increase energy efficiency and improve indoor air quality, and is anticipating LEED Silver certification.

PPD Recognized for Outstanding Employee Training and Development

In the recently launched "Season Two," Jones's greatest gift continues to be his honest and humorous portrayal of the "workplace" through his understanding of the diverse definitions of "work" as relating to jobs, professional courtesy, personal development, professional development, parenting, relationships, interpersonal communication, community affiliations, friendships and sometimes the work involved in simply getting out of bed each morning.

Naples, FL (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

If today’s parents, professionals, partners, and pundits can’t laugh at their own personal and professional mishaps, then marketing-company entrepreneur, humorist, writer, and Missouri native Randall Kenneth Jones invites them to laugh at his on AttackBunnies.com. In the recently launched "Season Two," Jones's greatest gift continues to be his honest and humorous portrayal of the "workplace" through his understanding of the diverse definitions of "work" as relating to jobs, professional courtesy, personal development, professional development, parenting, relationships, interpersonal communication, community affiliations, friendships and sometimes the work involved in simply getting out of bed each morning.

Jones explains, "As I have been described as the 'love child' of Dale Carnegie and David Sedaris, my goal with everything I write is to add humor, honesty and entertainment to (what can be very dry) personal and professional development themes. With pet chicken dinners, ghost sightings, jury duty, an ongoing 'feud' with ABC's Elizabeth Vargas, and a 'near-death experience' at the hands of a prepubescent Jodie Foster, it all made me who I am today."

Containing equal parts business exposé, parenting handbook, sales training text, personal memoir and how-to-not guide, Attack Bunnies is based on the premise that every person you meet and every situation you navigate influences the one multi-faceted person you ultimately become: at home and at the office.

Having first launched in early 2011, Jones and his metaphorical attacking bunnies are back with a brand new series of (pun intended) tails. “Fright of the Lepus," the Season Two opener, recounts Jones's run-in with an enraged office pet. According to Jones, "I am constantly asked why I named this series, 'Attack Bunnies.' My somewhat veiled answer has always been, 'I was at work, I was naked and I was attacked.' To kick off Season Two, I thought it was time to let the bunny out of the bag."

Let it also be said the Motion Picture Association of America would most likely assign a PG-13 rating to Jones's series of essays.

Jones continues, "We are constantly coached to never lose sight of our dreams, but this sermon invariably comes from someone on the cusp of, or in the throes of, fame and rampant success. In truth, the majority of us won't achieve our dreams exactly as planned. Who teaches us how to evolve without fame, fortune and complete-goal realization? How do we achieve a balance between never giving up and embracing our reality? If sharing my whimsical journey--the good, the bad, the ugly, and the bunny--enables others to more easily recognize those situations that have impacted their personal and professional growth, and start to learn how to celebrate who they have become, then I'm a huge success."

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire -02/14/12)- MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTC.BB: MMRF.OB - News) ("MMR"), a leading provider of Personal Health Records ("PHR"), MyEsafeDepositBox storage solutions and electronic document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals, announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has scheduled the issuance of two U.S. patents today. U.S. Patent No. 8,117,045 is entitled "Method and System for Providing Online Medical Records." U.S. Patent No. 8,117,646 is entitled "Method and System for Providing Online Records." The issuance of these patents further expands the protection on the Company's technology related to online Personal Health Records and document imaging and filing solutions. The patented methods are embodied by the Company's solutions, including the storage, management of, and emergency access to health records and other important documents including dental records, children's health records, and veterinary health records for pets.

According to a report issued by The MichaelBass Group, an investment banking and strategic advisory services firm focused on health IT, the patents owned by MyMedicalRecords, Inc., the Company's wholly owned-subsidiary, are valued at $300 million to as much as $800 million.

"We believe the issuance of these patents could represent significant value to the Company's shareholders just one week in advance of HIMSS 2012, the largest and most important health IT conference and exhibition in the world, where we will showcase our MMRPro and MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record products and services." said Robert H. Lorsch, MMRGlobal Chairman and CEO. "We believe our portfolio of health IT patents will continue to grow in value, especially given the national mandate that Americans have access to an electronic Personal Health Record by 2014 under the HITECH Act. We are encouraged by the fact that both our health IT and biotech intellectual property rights are already the subject of substantial license agreements."

The Jan 20, 2012 report from MichaelBass, which can be viewed online at http://michaelbass.com/PDF/JAN20MMRF.pdf, cites the market for Personal Health Records at $19 billion and focuses on the patents issued and pending in connection with a "Method and System for Providing Online Medical Records" and a "Method and System for Providing Online Records." The patents cover numerous claims involving the provision of Personal Health Records and other health information and document management systems and technologies. The patents also address the management of paper and other information contained in a Personal Health Record and deal with the fact that while doctors are migrating to Electronic Medical Records, the average physician still receives an average of 1,033 faxes per month of patient information.

The Company's growing portfolio of health IT patents includes those already issued to MMR in Australia and Singapore and others pending in countries around the world. These patents and other pending patent applications will be utilized in the Company's suite of Personal Health Record, professional document management and imaging systems and MyESafeDepositBox (www.myesafevideos.com) products and services. The Company also plans on offering Personal Pet Records through Dancing Paws (www.dancingpaws.com), a company founded by MMR CEO Robert H. Lorsch.

MMRGlobal also owns a significant portfolio of biotech assets which were acquired as a result of its reverse merger with Favrille, Inc., a San Diego biotech company, in January 2009. The Company spent more than $140 million on the development of a portfolio of biotech assets and related patents including the FavId® idiotype vaccine that was the Company's lead product candidate for the treatment of B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and also panels of anti-CD20 antibodies. Over the last several years, MMR has been working to maximize the value of both its health IT and biotech intellectual property portfolios which are already the subject of substantial license agreements.
