MMDI Announces Agreement with Novation to Supply the Rebound HRD
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 29 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Minnesota Medical Development, Inc. (MMDI) today announced that it has been awarded an agreement under Novation's "New Medical Technology" program to supply its Rebound HRD® and Rebound HRD V (hernia repair devices) to their alliance members, which includes: acute hospitals and systems, academic medical centers and ambulatory care facilities. The Rebound HRD and HRD V are intended to assist in the repair and/or reinforcement of hernia or other soft tissue defects where weakness exists and where the support of a nonabsorbable material is preferred.
 The Rebound HRD and HRD V are self-expanding Nitinol framed/surgical mesh medical devices designed for the laparoscopic repair of inguinal, ventral and incisional hernias. The super-elastic Nitinol frame allows the device to be folded and inserted laparoscopically through an access port or small incision. Once deployed, the device fully unfurls or "rebounds" back to its original shape - ready for quick and easy placement over the hernia defect.
The Rebound HRD and HRD V shorten operating times by either eliminating or reducing fixation, respectively, and organizing the mesh during the procedure. Preliminary surgeon usage of the Rebound HRD V shows that the procedural time may be reduced by as much as 50 percent in some cases. Although the devices are ideally suited for laparoscopic surgery, they may also be placed via an open incisional approach.
"We feel very fortunate to be in a position that allows us to actively market the Rebound HRD and Rebound HRD V to Novation's alliance members under their 'New Medical Technology' program agreement. Earlier this year we were invited to the Novation vendor product fair and given an opportunity to present to Novation's Member Council. After clearly demonstrating the features and benefits of the Rebound HRD, the council convened and decided to move forward with awarding a contract," said MMDI Chief Marketing Officer, Steve Nuss.

Pursol Signs Major Manufacturing Agreements with Fort Peck Tribes
SAN DIEGO, Calif., June 24 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Pursol Solar Systems today announces the signing of an agreement with the Fort Peck Indian Tribes of Poplar, Montana for the development of its solar manufacturing plant in its Reservation. The agreements would create 350 jobs for the local community. Expected gross revenue from the solar manufacturing plant will exceed $200 M annually and will provide a boost to the local economy. At full capacity, the plant will generate 100 MW of solar panels providing much needed supply to the Pursol Solar team. Pursol Solar Systems also has plans to develop a 100 MW solar power plant on the Fort Peck Indian Tribes Reservation that will tie into the electricity grid.
 "We are excited about the opportunity to team with the Fort Peck Tribes. From the onset, our goal was to create a model that will provide jobs, help boost the local economy and develop a revenue stream for both the Fort Peck Tribes and Pursol Solar Systems. This is truly a win-win situation that I am honored to be a part of," says Vince Aguon, President and CEO of Pursol Solar Systems.
"I am proud of the efforts we have all made to breathe life into ASD and once again provide quality employment opportunities for the members. This is just the beginning for us. We are working to include more manufacturing opportunities and other green energy projects. I would also like to thank the State of Montana for assisting us with the needed funds to retrofit the ASD building to be ready for Pursol," said A T Stafne - A&S Tribal Chairman.
"We are very pleased to announce a Teaming Agreement between A&S Diversified and Pursol Solar Systems," stated Chuck Garfield - A&S Diversified's CEO. "With this agreement in place, both ASD and Pursol will bring in much needed jobs and revenue to a struggling economy here in Northeast Montana. Here on the Fort Peck Reservation, we will have the opportunity, and the first to provide green jobs to our young people of this generation throughout the communities."
"A&S Diversified captured Pursol Solar Systems because of the opportunity of advancements in current technology, as well as turning the tides towards energy efficiency and economic growth."
"This is great news for Montana's growing clean and green energy sector, creating hundreds of good paying jobs for the Ft. Peck Tribes," said Governor Schweitzer. "With our skilled workforce and business friendly environment, it is no surprise that this national company chose Montana. This project exemplifies what the Recovery Act was all about - developing green energy manufacturing and creating 350 jobs. Funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be used to upgrade the existing facility in preparation for the manufacturing of these solar panels."

M2SYS Technology to Offer Desktop Biometric Technology to Kronos Customers
ATLANTA, Ga., July 23 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- M2SYS Technology, an award-winning biometric technology research and development firm, announced today that Kronos Incorporated, the global leader in workforce management solutions, has chosen M2SYS to provide its customers with a desktop biometrics solution that seamlessly interfaces with Kronos time and attendance applications. M2SYS' Bio-SnapON™ biometric software supports fingerprint and finger vein identification, enabling Kronos customers to record employee time data with a single finger scan.
 Kronos time and attendance applications work in tandem with Kronos data collection devices to help customers control labor costs, manage compliance risk, and improve workforce productivity. Bio-SnapON™ runs on a PC and authenticates employees with a USB biometric reader. Requiring a biometric scan eliminates "buddy punching," the act of one employee punching in for another, which can translate into substantial savings for employers.
"The M2SYS offering complements the Kronos 4500 Touch ID terminal, our existing biometric data collection terminal. The desktop biometric system is ideal for Kronos customers who have a small number of employees spread across many locations, and in cases where a traditional biometric data collection device may not be practical," commented Steve Earl, Kronos director of product marketing.
The Bio-SnapON™ biometric software easily scales to support multi-site, networked implementations, and supports special requirements such as labor distribution and employee self-service. "With the establishment of this relationship with Kronos, M2SYS has cemented itself as the leading provider of biometric technology to the workforce management market," noted Michael Trader, president of M2SYS Technology. "We are delighted to provide our Bio-SnapON™ biometric software and USB biometric readers to current and prospective Kronos customers."

MortgageDashboard Loan Origination System Adds Identity Theft Solutions for Mortgage Lenders and Institutions Plus Borrower Protection for a Year
Information Security a Top Priority to Reduce Fraud, Protect Borrowers and Ensure Compliance
DENVER, Colo., June 10 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Identity theft solutions from Majestic Security and idBUSINESS are available through MortgageDashboard, a leading on demand loan origination system enabling paperless mortgage processing for lenders, credit unions and banks. When originated through MortgageDashboard, mortgages will include a full year of borrower identity theft protection through Majestic Security's "Because We Care" initiative. Through idBUSINESS, mortgage lenders using the MortgageDashboard system will also become compliant with Federal Trade Commission Red Flag Rules covering information security practices by businesses that extend consumer credit.
 The Majestic Security "Because We Care" program extends its identity theft mitigation policy to borrowers by embedding a personal identity theft recovery service from ID Experts (www.idexpertscorp.com) into the HUD of a mortgage, at a fraction of its retail price, protecting both the borrower and the lender, while building trust and long-term customer loyalty. idBUSINESS is the standard Information Security operating system for small- to mid-sized businesses, providing information security planning tools that identify needs, assess risks, ensure compliance, and secure an organization's data.
"Information security is a fact of life for mortgage lenders and community lending institutions," said Mortgage Dashboard CEO Jorge Sauri. "By embedding identity theft protection in our on demand loan origination and processing platform, MortgageDashboard becomes a first line of defense for lenders that want to guard their borrowers and their business from information criminals."
"Majestic Security is focused on helping mortgage businesses protect themselves and their customers from the insidious impact of identity theft and misrepresentation," said CEO of Majestic Security, Jim De Geronimo. "We not only provide complete identity protection peace of mind for their business, but we also create a distinct competitive advantage though our 'Because We Care' borrower protection program."
In April 2009, the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) named Majestic Security as preferred provider of the FACTA Red Flag Rules Compliance Module.
"Mortgage lenders are a highly desirable target for information criminals and identity theft largely due to an inherently vulnerable workflow and high volume handling and retention of copious amounts of personal information," said Bryan Thornton, creator of the idBUSINESS Red Flag Rules Compliance Module. "The MortgageDashboard paper-free platform is hosted in a secure environment, making it well-suited to offer mortgage lenders a superior level of information security through idBUSINESS, a solution we built upon forensics-based experience gained from field work with banks and mortgage companies."
About idBUSINESS
idBUSINESS is the standard Information Security operating system for small- to mid-sized businesses. It provides information security planning tools that identify needs, assess risks, comply with the law, and secure an organization's data.
idBUSINESS is powered by two leading firms in information security, ID Experts, the nation's leader in date breach prevention and remediation services, and Net Reaction, providers of forensics and information security planning products and services. To learn more, please visit www.idBUSINESS.com/.
