NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report Titled, OLED Encapsulation Materials Markets - 2012 Due in Early October 2012

NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report that analyzes the commercial development and opportunities for OLED encapsulation.

Glen Allen, Virginia - September 14, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report that analyzes the commercial development and opportunities for OLED encapsulation. The report titled, "OLED Encapsulation Materials Markets - 2012" will be available in early October of 2012 and follows recent NanoMarkets reports on OLED display and lighting materials markets. Additional details about the report are available at http://www.nanomarkets.net.

About the Report:

The report analyzes the latest technical and market developments in the both OLED encapsulation materials and deposition strategies and it also contains granular eight-year forecasts of the revenues that we expect to be generated from this business, along with quantities of materials shipped. These in-depth forecasts are broken out by both product type and application within the OLED space.

OLED encapsulation sector has changed considerably in the past two years. OLED displays have gone mainstream and OLED lighting is not far behind. At the same time, novel ways to encapsulate OLEDs - notably Atomic Layer Deposition ALD -- have become available for high throughput production of OLEDs for the first time. NanoMarkets therefore believes that now is the time for its clients to become better acquainted with opportunities emerging from this important sector:

• This report will clarify for companies offering the latest encapsulation technologies - such as dyad encapsulation and ALD - where they can best find early revenues in the OLED space for their innovative new approaches to encapsulation. The report also sets out the opportunities for other, more conventional materials firms contemplating entry - or already involved - in the OLED encapsulation sector.

• OLED display and lighting panel manufacturers will learn from this report, how recent leaps forward in encapsulation technology are enabling new applications for OLEDs, such as televisions and larger lighting panels for the office. Will encapsulation prove to be the enabler that takes OLEDs into important new addressable markets?

• This report will help the glass industry understand where to make investments in the OLED space. Despite the recent surge in new encapsulation approaches available to the OLED industry, it is widely understood that for the foreseeable future OLEDs will be mostly encapsulated in glass. This report identifies what special requirements glass encapsulation must meet to be suitable for the OLED market. It also analyzes some of the newer glasses that certain firms have recently brought to market, specifically designed for the OLED space along with the prospects for flexible glass in OLED encapsulation.

In addition to above analysis, this definitive report on the markets for OLED encapsulation also names the winners and losers in this market and examines the product development and marketing strategies of major players in the OLED encapsulation sector, from large multinationals like 3M and Corning to specialty firms like Beneq, UDC, and Tera Barrier Films.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report Titled, Advanced Glazing Systems Markets - 2012 Due in Early October 2012

NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report in early October 2012 that will analyze the commercial prospects for advanced glazing systems.

Glen Allen, Virginia - September 14, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will release a new report in early October 2012 that will analyze the commercial prospects for advanced glazing systems. The report titled, "Advanced Glazing Systems Markets - 2012" examines the revenue potential for both the window industry itself and firms supplying the materials - glass, plastics and sealants -- for advanced glazing systems. It also looks at how the world of advanced glazing can profitably innovate by drawing on the technologies and insights of the smart windows, building-integrated PV (BIPV), and smart lighting businesses.

Additional details about the report are available at http://www.nanomarkets.net

About the Report:

In an era of rising real energy prices and uncertainties about future energy supply NanoMarkets believes that a fast growing market for advanced glazing systems can be expected and that this will create profitable business opportunities for a wide variety of companies. In this new report, NanoMarkets has identified where these opportunities can be found and how much they will be worth. The report covers the full range of high-performance windows systems that provide thermal, visual and IR management using the latest materials:

- In this report, firms in the windows/glazing industry will find a comprehensive product roadmap for advanced glazing systems showing how windows products will evolve from the latest generation of highly insulated windows, through the incorporation of various dynamic glass (aka smart windows) technologies, and then on to systems with embedded solar and lighting functionality. Included in the analysis in this report is an examination of some of the high performance insulated windows and dynamic glass windows products that are already on the market.

- Because of the huge potential addressable market for high-tech windows and the fact that they are likely to use novel materials, this report also includes a comprehensive discussion and forecast of how materials needs will change in the glazing systems market over the next eight years and how materials and chemical firms can benefit from these changes. Among the materials covered will be smart materials, photoactive materials, glasses, plastics, framing materials, sealants, gasses, desiccants, etc.

- NanoMarkets also believes that this report will also be of considerable interest to both the solar panel industry and the solid-state lighting industry. Firms active in these industries will learn from this report how they can tap into the expected rapid growth of advanced glazing systems. In particular, we show how new opportunities will emerge for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) companies and OLED firms to make money by implanting PV and lighting layers into high-performance windows products.

This report will also bring considerable insights to corporate planners throughout the building products and construction industries as well as architects and sophisticated investors. As with all NanoMarkets reports, this report contains detailed eight-year forecasts of the markets analyzed in this report in both value ($ millions) and volume (area) terms. Forecast breakouts are by end-user type, technology, materials used and geography. In addition, the report contains a thorough analysis of the product/market strategies of both giant firms - such as Alcoa, Saint-Gobain and Bayer - and the latest startups.

New Line of Digital Tire Pressure Gauges Launched by Promaster-Gauges

New Line of High End Digital Tire Pressure Gauges and Tire Inflators launched by Promaster-Gauges for those seeking a reliable and accurate Gauge.

Vancouver, Canada, September 13, 2012 -- A New Line of High End Digital Tire Pressure Gauges and Tire Inflators launched by Promaster-Gauges for those seeking a reliable and accurate Gauge.

These gauges and inflators read in Absolute Pressure and are temperature compensated. Absolute pressure readings meaning any atmospheric pressure differences, such as between being at sea level and being at the top of a mountain do not affect the readings. Temperature compensation is also included allowing for gauge readings in the middle of Summer to the middle of winter.

Many Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems work on "Absolute Pressure", which means atmospheric pressures do not affect them. This means you can get different readings from regular tire gauges when comparing to TPMS systems.

The new gauges from Promaster also have an ingress protection rating of IP65 for harsh environments.

Product is perfect for Tire Shops, Repair Shops, Cars, Large Trucks, RVs, Race Cars, Motorcycles, Industrial and Off-Road vehicles. Promaster-Gauges is a division of HawksHead Systems a leading supplier of aftermarket TPMS systems based out of the Vancouver, BC area.

The new gauges are backed by a 5 year warranty and come complete with their own protective storage bag to protect the gauge while not in use.

Physicians Attend the IAPAM's Symposium with Botox Training To Capture the Boomer Market

The IAPAM offers physicians the leading Botox ® training, filler training, and associated facial aesthetic medical education (including training on lasers for skin rejuvenation and hair removal, microdermabrasion and medical grade chemical peels) at its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposium. The IAPAM's Symposium with Botox ® training shows physicians how to add non-insurance covered procedures to their practices to meet the demand of their aging patient base.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - September 8, 2012 -- Minimally invasive procedures, like Botox ®, dermal fillers and laser treatments, have surged by 356% reported the ASAPS and patients, ages 35 to 50 had the most procedures last year, nearly four million or 43% of the total, and patients ages 51 to 64 had an additional 28%, the ASAPS announced. So, as the over 70 million baby boomers seek help to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay, the US market for aesthetic medical treatments balloons.

To capture this exploding market, physicians who are expertly trained in minimally invasive, anti-aging modalities and hCG for medical weight loss, are best positioned to grow their healthcare businesses. The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training) is a weekend of hands-on Botox ® training as well as dermal filler training, laser training, hCG training etc., and is the only multi-day, symposium to offer education for physicians on how to profitably add the top 5 anti-aging modalities to a practice.

Watch a preview of the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training at http://youtu.be/bBQlS0CpOvw

Physicians who have completed the IAPAM's multi-day integrated training program, including hCG Weight Loss, the AestheticMedicine Symposium and the Aesthetic Practice Business Start-Up have a significant competitive advantage.

Brazil is a Great Place to Invest, agrees FRA

A new article in IFA Magazine by Green Forestry Investments' Lisa Best, has been welcomed by FRA for championing Brazil as one of the best places to invest.

Seattle, United States, September 8, 2012 -- A new article in IFA Magazine by Green Forestry Investments' Lisa Best, has been welcomed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA) for championing Brazil as one of the best places to invest.

Lisa Best is a project manager for Green Forestry Investments and claims that, although Brazil’s economy is not growing as fast as it once was, it should definitely still be considered as a place to invest cash in alternatives, such as forestry and real estate.

Not only has the country become extremely stable, both economically and politically, in recent years it has also managed to win bids to host major sporting events over the coming few years. In 2014 the FIFA World Cup will be held in Brazil, while Rio will host the Olympics in 2016. For both of these events, considerable infrastructure investments will take place and the steel industry in particular is booming.

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, said, “This is one of the reasons why investing in forestry plantations in Brazil is a good bet. The plantations provide sustainable charcoal to the steel industry, who would otherwise be sourcing it form native forests which, as we all know, are threatened and extremely vulnerable.”

Ms Best added that Brazil already sources 85 per cent of the energy it needs from renewable sources. The government is still investing heavily in this area and, therefore, this is another reason why sustainable timber plantations that could produce biomass are worth investing in.

FRA supports all kinds of ethical investing and particularly green investments like timberland. Mr Collins explained that a growing number of investors want to see something with an intrinsic value in exchange for their hard-earned cash following the economic collapse. “Forestry investments through firms like Greenwood Management and Green Forestry Investments are a good option for risk-averse alternative investors,” stated Mr Collins.

Executive Recruiters Get Advanced Class in LinkedIn from Social Media Guru in Next Experts Connection Webinar

Social Media Recruiting Specialist Jim Durbin Demonstrates Advanced Strategies for Using LinkedIn to Find the Perfect Job Candidate.

NOVATO, Calif. (September 7, 2012) -- LinkedIn is the first stop recruiters make when searching for qualified job candidates, which makes it harder to compete for the best candidates available. Where most recruiters do a superficial search, the best recruiters know how to dig below the surface to find hidden skills and talents that make their candidates really stand out. In the next Experts Connection (http://www.experts-connection.com) webinar entitled, “LinkedIn for Executive Recruiting: Beyond the Basics (2012 Edition),” social media headhunter Jim Durbin will offer step-by-step instructions into how to use advanced techniques that make LinkedIn your most powerful tool to find job candidates. The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, September 27, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 – 2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE® (http://www.netshare.com).

LinkedIn continues to grow as the premier social network for business with more than 175 million profiles, including profiles from executives at every Fortune 500 company. LinkedIn is also one of the largest providers of recruiting services. This webinar will offer point-by-point instruction in how to use LinkedIn as the insiders use it, including a live demonstration that allows participants to follow along online.

In this 90-minute webinar, attendees will learn:

- The latest sourcing strategies for 2012, including techniques for both free and paid LinkedIn accounts.
- The fastest ways to search for candidates both using LinkedIn and outside of the network.
- Job posting strategies and recommendations as to how to generate employee referrals.
- Three ways to craft messages that generate responses from targeted candidates.
- Alternative contact strategies to reach passive candidates across a variety of industries.
- How to market your positions and your companies using LinkedIn.

“Recruiters have started to take LinkedIn for granted, which means they aren't utilizing its full potential,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection webinars. “Once you understand the nuances, LinkedIn can become an incredibly powerful tool that will help you compete as a recruiter, as well as identify the best candidates for any job. Jim has made a science of using LinkedIn for recruiting, and this is a rare opportunity to see how a master uses the hottest recruiting tool available. This Master’s class will be invaluable to anyone in recruiting or HR.”

The cost of the Experts Connection seminar is $100, and access is provided via web and telephone. A web archive also is available for registrants. For more information, visit the Experts Connection online at http://www.experts-connection.com.
