Smaller – Lighter – More Power – Enecsys unleashes third generation field-configurable micro inverter to fuel AC Module growth


NEWARK, California, Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Enecsys PLC, a premier supplier of micro inverter products for the global solar market, today announced the launch of its third generation micro inverter platform, and an enhanced Communications Gateway enabling online monitoring service.

Photo –  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141017/152903

Building upon Enecsys’s ability to reliably scale power and reduce package size through its patented technology, the 250NL is 42% lighter and 48% less volume compared to the second generation product, supporting most 60 cell modules up to 300W standard test conditions (STC). Greater power density translates to industry leading lower handling costs to module manufacturers and installers.

“The design is actually smaller than some residential home routers,” says Mike Fister, CEO. “It is an extension of the micro inverter product continuum, further enabling a higher level of module integration.”

Enecsys micro inverters are designed and tested for high reliability, matching PV module life expectancy, enabled by a unique and patented energy storage technique that eliminates use of typical life-limiting components. At 260W peak and 250W continuous output, the 250NL operates over the entire extended temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), managing some of the most challenging rooftop environments with no de-rating for temperature, maximizing energy harvest.

“The global residential rooftop and light commercial solar market segments remain robust and our next generation Enecsys micro inverter is optimized to fuel the growth with its power and size,” commented Mr. Fister.

The enhanced Communications Gateway field-configures the 250NL which allows one part number to be used for Europe, Australia, and North America. Ease of use and reduced system set-up time is achieved by the menu-driven touch screen providing step-by-step instructions and diagnostics.

Availability for the 250NL and enhanced Communications Gateway is immediate.

Headquartered in Newark, California, USA, the company has corporate offices in Newark, California and additional sales and support facilities in Germany, United Kingdom, and Taiwan.

Cal/OSHA Releases Guidance for Protecting Health Care Workers from Ebola

Cal/OSHA Releases Guidance for Protecting Health Care Workers from Ebola


OAKLAND, California, Oct. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Although widespread outbreak of Ebola in the United States is unlikely, Cal/OSHA has joined with other public health agencies in California to provide guidelines for preventing exposure to Ebola. They will be widely distributed starting today.

Federal officials have identified workers in certain professions to be at potential risk of exposure. Those workers include health care workers, emergency responders, laboratory staff, mortuary workers, airline flight crews and airport staff, and quarantine operations staff.

The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and its Division of Occupational Safety and Health, also known as Cal/OSHA, have coordinated with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to issue interim guidelines for workers in these occupations and their employers.

“California’s workplace safety and health standards go further than national standards in protecting workers from hazards such as Ebola,” said Juliann Sum, Acting Chief of Cal/OSHA. “We urge employers and their workers who may be at risk to pay careful attention to our guidance and check for updates as new information becomes available.”

In 2009, California adopted an occupational health regulation that specifically addresses infectious diseases like Ebola, which can spread by small liquid droplets that may come in contact with mucous membranes. This regulation, known as the Aerosol Transmissible Diseases Standard, helped inform the guidelines released today. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected symptomatic person or through exposure to objects that have been contaminated. 

The new guidance recommends that employers:

  • Ensure that workers at risk of exposure to Ebola wear gloves, impermeable body coverings, face shields or other eye and face protection, and appropriate respiratory protection. All personal protective equipment (PPE) must be adequate to prevent the passage of bodily fluids to the employee’s clothing and skin. NIOSH-approved respirators must be used where infectious aerosols are likely to be present.
  • Train employees in the use of all applicable protective equipment, including respirators. Employees must be clearly instructed on how to safely put on and take off equipment.
  • Give employees opportunities to practice with the respirators and other equipment they will use.
  • Provide dedicated, separate areas for the donning and removing of protective gear.
  • Use either a buddy system or other means of assisting employees in donning and removing PPE. Employees who assist in removing contaminated equipment must also use PPE.
  • Provide additional protective gear, such as double gloves and disposable shoe and leg coverings, in environments where copious amounts of blood, vomit, feces or other bodily fluids are present.
  • Ensure that workers conducting aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation or bronchoscopy perform the procedures in an airborne infection isolation room, if feasible, or at least in a private room with the door closed. Employees exposed to these procedures must use NIOSH-approved respirators.

Cal/OSHA reminds all employers and workers that any suspected cases of Ebola must be promptly reported to the local public health department.

The California Department of Public Health has a variety of updated information on Ebola and reporting requirements. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also posted specific information for health care workers and settings.

New Study From Mary Kay And loveisrespect Shows Teens Stay Too Long In Abusive Dating Relationships


‘Truth About Abuse’ Report Highlights Emotional Abuse is Most Common Among Teens and Young Adults


DALLAS, Oct. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Silence speaks volumes. A new survey reveals that young men and women continue to grapple with various forms of dating abuse including emotional, sexual, physical and digital abuse. Seventy three percent reported they are experiencing or have experienced emotional abuse while more than half of all respondents waited six months before seeking help. In partnership with loveisrespect, the 2014 Mary Kay Truth About Abuse Survey aimed to understand how long teens and young adults wait before they reach out for help and gauge what type of abuse is most prevalent among those who seek help.

More than 500 young men and women nationwide anonymously shared their stories with these key findings:

  • 57 percent of those surveyed have been concerned about their relationship for more than six months. 
  • 73 percent reported emotional abuse followed by physical abuse at 29 percent, sexual abuse at 22 percent and digital abuse at 19 percent.
  • 40 percent hadn’t talked to anyone about abusive behavior in their relationship.
  • Young adults ages 18-24 represented 40 percent of respondents followed by teens ages 13-17 at 26 percent. 
  • Young women responded to the survey at a rate of 2.5 times that of young men.

The 2014 survey is the latest part of Mary Kay’s “Don’t Look Away” campaign which works to educate the public on recognizing the signs of an abusive relationship, how to take action and to raise awareness of support services. 

“Once again the annual Mary Kay Truth About Abuse Survey, unveiled meaningful and insightful data on the alarming trends of violence against women in our country. But perhaps more importantly, this year’s survey shines a new light on what’s really happening among our youth in their relationships,” said Crayton Webb, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility for Mary Kay Inc. “It’s extremely alarming to learn that 73 percent of teens and young adults have experienced emotional abuse in a relationship and most are waiting six months or more to seek help or support. We need to prevent and ultimately end dating abuse by making sure young people know where and how they can get help before relationships become unhealthy and potentially violent.”

To empower youth and young adults, Mary Kay is the lead sponsor of the nation’s first-ever text-based helpline operated by loveisrespect. By simply texting ‘loveis’ to 22522, teens and young adults are safely and discretely connected to trained peer advocates who provide support, safety tips and referrals for their own relationships or a friend’s.

“The stories we heard through the Mary Kay Truth About Abuse Survey were powerful – from ‘I need help getting away from him’ to ‘I feel isolated’ to ‘I didn’t have anyone else to talk to’ and so many more,” said Brian Pinero, Director of Digital Services for the National Domestic Violence Hotline and loveisrespect. “To understand when and how teens and young adults reach out for help and what type of abuse is most prevalent in this day and age are important tools in providing the right resources to help more people build healthy relationships.”

“I encourage voters to take full advantage of the ease and convenience of voting early,” said Texas Secretary of State Nandita Berry. “During Early Voting, voters may cast their ballots at any polling place in their county of residence, choosing a time and polling place that is most convenient for their schedule.”

This will be the fourth statewide election with the photo ID requirement in effect for in-person voting. To cast a ballot in-person, voters should present one of the following approved forms of photo ID:

  1. Texas Driver License – issued by the Department of Public Safety (DPS)
  2. Texas Personal Identification Card – issued by DPS

  4. United States Military Identification card containing the person’s photograph

Any citizen who does not have an approved ID can apply for a free Election Identification Certificate at a DPS driver license office. In addition to DPS driver licenses offices, EICs are also available at EIC mobile stations. A list of mobile station dates is available at VoteTexas.gov.

In almost all cases, voters voting by mail will not need to present a photo ID. Texans age 65 and older and people with disabilities are automatically qualified to vote by mail. However, the last day to request a ballot by mail in time for the Nov. 4 Election is Friday, Oct. 24.

Voters can contact their county elections office to locate the most convenient polling place, or they can follow the links at www.votetexas.gov. During Early Voting, polling place times will vary from county to county.

Texans can remain current on election information by following the Secretary of State on Twitter and Instagram, as well as “liking” Vote Texas on Facebook.
