SGS joins forces with CNIS to launch worlds first low visual fatigue certification service

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has joined forces with the China National Institute of Standardization (CNIS) to launch the world’s first low visual fatigue certification scheme.

 

SGS and CNIS have worked in collaboration to develop a ground-breaking certification scheme that provides greater support to the electrical and electronic (EE) industry as it addresses changing market demands and greater consumer health concerns relating to visual fatigue from using electronic devices.

 

The low visual fatigue certification – the Weighted Visual Fatigue (WVF) index – is based on applicable international standards, general industrial specifications and accumulated data. Products are evaluated according to the level of visual fatigue they cause during use.

 

Uniquely delivered by SGS, certification assessment involves the objective optical testing of displays, simulating human visual perception for blue light and flicker evaluation, as well as human factor testing using volunteers to assess brain activity, eye movement and visual function via electroencephalogram (EEG) and Critical Flicker Frequency (CFF) tests.

 

Jeff Zhao, General Manager of the Connectivity & Products of SGS-CSTC, said: “We are delighted to launch this innovative certification service, combining objective testing with subjective experience, to comprehensively evaluate the level of eye fatigue that a person will experience when using a display screen.

 

“Through this collaboration we hope to guide the industry in developing and promoting products that offer consumers a safer and healthier user experience.”

 

In May 2022, Huawei became the first organization to take advantage of the new certification when its MateView SE monitor received the certification following strict objective performance testing by the SGS team.

 

HUAWEI MateView SE is a 1920x1080 Full HD resolution monitor with eye protection and wide color gamut. The IPS panel supports a viewing angel of 178-degree and 90% P3 color gamut (100% sRGB color gamut). It is the first Huawei monitor to have the eBook Mode, a display that creates a paper-like reading and editing effect. Its WVF index is 3.142, meaning that the product causes a very low level of visual fatigue after 40-minutes of use.

 

SGS will continue to work in collaboration with CNIS in developing testing solutions for electronic products and supporting the EE sector with far-reaching solutions that help companies deliver higher quality products to global markets.

Heart of Florida Roofing Offers Best Solutions to Beat Hurricane Season

Orlando, FL: When hurricanes batter Florida, it can be a scary time for homeowners. But Heart of Florida Roofing could be considered one of the many unsung heroes of the moment because their roofing solutions keep your home safe at all times - during any stormy episode.

The family-owned and -operated company puts customer safety and satisfaction above all else, with their skilled roofing specialists adopting a strategy few imitate – they treat clients’ roofs just like our own, with utmost care and precision. 

Heart of Florida Roofing was founded with one goal - to put their collective years of roofing experience to work for the residents of Orlando and Kissimmee, FL. Now, with a reliable team and over 100 years of experience, the company has built a well-respected reputation serving the community at every opportunity.

They serve roofing needs for residential and commercial clients, whether it is flat, low-slope or sloped roof installations in tile, shingle or metal. They also offer roof repairs, including maintenance work and emergency storm damage repair.

That’s why Heart of Florida Roofing is the one to consider when hurricanes blow through the State and can cause immense damage.

Hurricane season can be a pretty scary time. It’s essential to ensure your home is prepared for these storms, and one of the most important things you can do is upgrade your roof.

Heart of Florida Roofing advises a few things to consider when choosing the best roof for hurricanes. The first is wind resistance: your roof should withstand high winds without being damaged or torn off. 

Secondly, water resistance. Your roof should be able to keep your home dry during heavy rains and flooding. And finally, you’ll want your roof to be durable and last many years, even in severe weather conditions.

Different roofing materials meet all these criteria. Metal roofs are most popular because they are highly durable and can withstand high winds without being damaged. Another option is concrete tile, which is durable and can withstand high winds and heavy rains. If you’re looking for a more traditional roofing material, then clay tile is another good option.

When choosing the best roof for your home, it’s important to work with a reputable Orlando roofing contractor. A good contractor can help you select the suitable roofing material for your home and that it is installed correctly. 

Heart of Florida Roofing will be able to provide you with a warranty on your new roof and also offer various financing options, so you can choose the plan that best fits your needs. You can be assured your home is well-protected and prepared to withstand all the elements.

MRHB The First Halal DeFi Token Makes Maiden Foray into European Markets with EUR Trading

MRHB.Network, the first decentralized finance platform committed to supporting ethical and halal crypto products, has listed the $MRHB token on the Bitlocus crypto exchange and now offers EUR trading against its native token. In addition to its USDT pair, the new trading pair MRHB/EUR is part of the halal token’s foray into European markets, enabling crypto users to make instant fiat-crypto conversions.

Bitlocus is the fourth global centralized exchange to list MRHB, including LBank, BitMart and CoinTiger. The token can also be traded on PancakeSwap, a leading decentralized exchange.

“This listing on Bitlocus marks another milestone for MRHB and we are pleased to expand our range and offer token holders the option to trade $MRHB against the EUR,” said MRHB DeFi Network CMO, Umut David Gulasi. “Lowering the barriers to buying crypto with fiat is a crucial step in onboarding more users. By providing a bridge between crypto and fiat, we can offer a more convenient and better trading experience for our community, taking us a step closer toward mass adoption of $MRHB.”

The listing in Bitlocus comes as part of a long term and wider partnership between the two entities, where Bitlocus will facilitate MRHB expansion to the European markets through the services and products of its various sister entities. Incidentally, Bitlocus has been one of the earliest allies and supporters of the MRHB Team since its ideation phase.

“MRHB DeFi Network is a highly respected DeFi project looking to make the cryptoverse a better place. We are delighted to list their MRHB token on our exchange to support communities looking for ethical cryptocurrency solutions,” said Andrius Normantas, CEO at Bitlocus.

The Bitlocus cryptocurrency exchange was founded in 2018. Based and registered in Lithuania, they are under the strict, trustworthy regulation of the EU. Bitlocus offers spot trading of more than 16 tokens and cryptocurrencies with EUR as the base currency, along with a fiat on/off-ramp.

The MRHB DeFi platform is built specifically to help onboard communities previously excluded from cryptocurrency, such as the world’s 1.8 billion Muslims representing a financial market worth about US$3 trillion. To ensure the decentralized finance ecosystem is halal, and therefore permissible for Muslims to use, the MRHB DeFi team employs an advisory board that vets all cryptocurrencies and services on the platform according to strict ethical and halal guidelines.

On Building a Better DeFi Platform

The flagship product and cornerstone of the MRHB DeFi platform is Sahal Wallet, a self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet available on both iOS and Android. Notably, Sahal Wallet only accepts halal tokens and acts as a gateway portal to the entire MRHB DeFi ecosystem.

“When designing our Sahal Wallet application, we took great pains to ensure the UX is as easy and friendly as possible. The majority of our 70,000 supporters are first-time crypto users and it can honestly be quite overwhelming for newcomers to enter the crypto space,” MRHB CEO Naquib Mohammed said. “MRHB DeFi is a one-stop platform where our users can be assured everything is halal without having to do a ton of extra research on their own, making Sahal Wallet their key to ethical DeFi.”

The company has had a string of strong product launches since they listed their token in December 2021 in an oversubscribed IDO, raising over US$5.5 million in funding. Including Sahal Wallet, MRHB DeFi also launched SouqNFT — a marketplace for ethical NFTs that also hosts halal compliance certificates from Shariah Experts in immutable, unforgeable NFT form. Coming up this year are a halal liquidity harvester that generates passive yields of 5% to 15%, an exchange for tokenized commodities and metals, a world-first halal DeFi staking solution and numerous enhancements to Sahal Wallet including reversible transactions.

Other ambitious products on their roadmap to be launched in 2023 include an interest-free crypto financing solution, decentralized philanthropy, an entrepreneur launchpad and decentralized autonomous governance.

MRHB DeFi Network is backed by a number of partners and investors, including Polygon Technology, Sheesha Finance, Australian Gulf Capital, NewTribe Capital, Blockchain Australia, Mozaic, Contango Digital Assets, ZKSync, Acreditus Partners, EMGS Group, Sinofy Group, Sukhavati Protocol and MKD Capital, amongst others.

Some incredible North East industry leaders attended. These events are all about learning from one another, and that's exactly what we saw today.

I hope that everyone who came along was able to see that our investment into automation and machinery has made a huge difference to the way we work, and it is certainly the way forward for us.

This certainly won’t be the last time I invite fellow business leaders over to our offices; I love showing people around and banging the drum for our incredible workforce and for our thriving sector.”

22 people attended the event which was co-hosted by the AMF, a membership forum whose aim is to bring together the North East’s manufacturing and engineering community to create successful opportunities.

Peak Eyecare of Durango Announces the Use of the IPL Machine to Treat Dry Eye Disease

Durango, CO -  Peak Eyecare is implementing Intense Pulsed Light treatment to treat patients with Evaporative Dry Eye Disease. IPL treatment has been used by dermatologists and aestheticians for the past 30 years. The goal of this treatment has been to remove skin blemishes such as sunspots, small blood vessels commonly called “spider vessels'', and unwanted hair follicles. When the treatment zone neared the eyelids, patients reported a substantial improvement in their dry eye symptoms.

What is Evaporative Dry Eye Disease?

 

Inflammatory biomarkers are released from the spider vessels found around the eyelids. This inflammation limits the amount of free-flowing, healthy oil that can be released from the meibomian glands in the eyelids. Further, bacteria and mites on the eyelid margin create a biofilm that also clogs the meibomian glands. When the meibomian glands become clogged, no oil is produced on the tear film, so tears evaporate way too fast, causing signs and symptoms of Evaporative Dry Eye Disease.

How IPL Treats Evaporative Dry Eye Disease

Intense Pulsed Light attacks Evaporative Dry Eye Disease in multiple ways. During each treatment session, a high energy light is used to flash the treatment area on each lower eyelid. This high energy burst of light ablates the small spider vessels, or telangiectasia, that is found on the eyelids. When the telangiectasia is reduced, the inflammatory markers cannot be released, thus restoring healthy function to the meibomian glands. In addition, the flash of light kills the bacteria and mites that make up the biofilm, further allowing the meibum to flow more freely. To learn more about Evaporative Dry Eye Disease and to find out if you are a candidate for IPL treatment, schedule your appointment at peakdurango.com.

Peak Eyecare was created by Dr. Davis Capaccioli to provide premier dry eye treatment options. Dr. Cap, as his patients refer to him as, enjoys working with specialty contact lenses, including scleral lenses for irregular and post-surgical corneas, and pediatric contact lenses to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia).
