14 Monday, June 10, 2013 DASCO LAPTOP CABINETS PROVIDE SECURITY SOLUTIONS Corporate America is increasingly switching from cumbersome desktop computer systems to the convenience and portability of laptops for its employees. Although this allows employees to work away from their desks (and occasionally outside of traditional office hours), maintaining the security of those laptops – as well as the confidential information they might contain – is an ongoing problem. The solution: a cabinet that allows IT departments to perform software and security updates, virus and malware scans, and information backups, all while the laptops are stored securely onsite. Dasco Storage Solutions has designed a laptop storage cabinet which can house up to twenty-eight laptops within a 36-inch by 24-inch footprint. All Dasco laptop cabinets come with a 9-outlet (15A) power supply (which can be expanded for more outlets or can be upgraded to 20A). They can also be precabled CAT 5 or 6 (your specification) and can include an optional top-mounted 550 CFM fan for cooling. The cabinet is manufactured with an all-steel tambour door that allows several options for secure entry. Keyed entry The standard cabinet security is a Wesco KARNDEAN UPDATES PREMIUM ART SELECT WOODS COLLECTION Karndean Designflooring has expanded its premium Art Select Woods collection by adding eleven new skillfullycrafted designs that replicate the beauty of natural timber. These dramatic and exquisite new designs further add to the versatility and realism that designers, architects and home owners have come to expect from Karndean. The unique and eye-catching grain details, rich colors and meticulous textures in this collection create a style that works for virtually any space, from a country cottage to a contemporary loft. With a 0.7mm wear layer and a 20 year residential, 15 year commercial warranty, the Art Select Woods collection is extremely durable and a perfect choice for high traffic areas. The Art Select Woods collection will now feature three distinct Cherry colors: Spanish Cherry, Seneca Cherry, and Santina Cherry. The natural luster and silky texture create a strikingly elegant finish. Karndean will expand its deeply textured Hickory Collection with the addition of Hickory Almond and Hickory Cinnamon. Both styles are offered in a large plank size with a beveled edge. Versatility meets style in Karndean's new Parquet collection. Available in a 9-inch by 3-inch plank, Auburn Parquet and Black Parquet offer detailed grains and a gentle texture. Parquet can be laid in a brick, block or herringbone pattern. In 2013, Karndean will release its Imagine an invention that is so revolutionary that the "problem" becomes the "solution." Most of the people in our industry understand that the most flammable part of any furniture is the polyurethane foam. When foam is ignited on a piece of upholstered furniture, it quickly produces so much heat and Trinity Furniture (Cont'd. from p. 1) the marketplace? JL: What's unique about Trinity is that we offer customized furniture for numerous environments: our standard upholstery line works in various corporate settings and our Facelift line is geared more to healthcare and universities. Both are designed and built with attention to quality, detail and style with the Facelift line going one step farther in that all the items are completely field replaceable. HDSD: How does what you learned making furniture for military bases translate now into manufacturing furnishings key lock. For additional security with the convenience of key entry, locks can be upgraded to the Abloy "Protec" lock. Abloy "Protec" locks are a "one of a kind" key and lock system―they cannot be duplicated except by the manufacturer. Traceable Card Reading Technology The cabinet can be accessed only by personnel who have been issued a valid pass card. The system is fully programmable to add or remove users and cards and each access to the cabinet is recorded with the date, time and the name of the pass card holder (up to 2000 entries). This means all access is fully traceable and secure. Biometrics Only users who have been programmed into the system with a passcode and fin- one-of-a-kind Maple Collection, which consists of various plank widths and lengths. Available in 4-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch widths and nine different lengths, this collection mimics the dimensional variety found in many hardwood floors. The four colors available are Natural Maple, Coffee Maple, Cajun Maple and Toasted Maple. We are very excited about the expansion of our Art Select Wood Collection," said Michael Lang, Senior Marketing Manager at Karndean Designflooring. "By adding additional colors and designs as well as diversifying the collection with the new Parquets, and in 2013, the new Maples, we've taken what was already our premium woods collection to the next level. We are pleased to be able to deliver on our promise to create innovative, affordable and unique LVT flooring for the design community and our retail customers." smoke that occupants and fire fighters are fortunate if they escape alive. Preventing or delaying the ignition of the foam in furniture-related fires is key to reducing fatalities. If "flash over" does not occur as quickly and harmful combustion gases are reduced, we have made improvements in fire safety. Imagine that we can greatly reduce the chances that the polyurethane foam will ignite from a cigarette or small flame source: Small fires will not become large fires as fast, or perhaps not at all. Traditional FR polyurethane foams have several deficiencies. They are often uncomfortable and fatigue quickly. They often contain brominated or chlorinated flame retardants with toxicity and bio accumulation issues. Some FR foams simply melt into liquid pools of polymer and generate large volumes of smoke when they come into contact with fire. Firewall Foam does not melt like traditional polyurethane foams. It does not support combustion and produces almost no smoke. Firewall Foam contains no for healthcare facilities? Facelift Collection. FIREWALL FOAM MAKES THE 'PROBLEM' THE 'SOLUTION' By Kyle Bullock, President of Preferred Finishing, Inc. Hospitality & Design Show Daily JL: In making furniture for healthcare and assisted living facilities, we're using the same concepts of the modular, replaceable, recyclable and renewable but with modern innovative styling. Trinity has kept the same philosophy from the very first piece we sold to Ramstein Air Force Base. This included encapsulating all foam with an antimicrobial moisture barrier and metal to metal construction with all components bolted together to a steel inner frame with machine screws and threaded inserts or T-nuts. This enables you to give your furniture an easy facelift on site, hence the name, HDSD: How is this concept being received by the marketplace? JL: The marketplace has overwhelmingly embraced our unique approach to sustainability, and we've experienced rapid growth as a result of it in the healthcare industry. Now we're also achieving significant penetration into the higher education market, because the university environment requires the same kind of furniture. The furnishings that we provide to healthcare and university housing are subject to the same kind of stresses and heavy use levels needed to survive in military housing. gerprint can access the cabinet. Users first enter their assigned passcode into a keypad on the front of the cabinet. Once the code is validated, the user must then submit to a fingerprint scan which is compared to the print on file for that user. If both the passcode and the fingerprint match, the user is granted access to the cabinet. This system is fully traceable (as with the card reading technology described above), recording the time, date and name of each person to access the cabinet (up to 2000 entries). The fully-customizable Dasco laptop cabinet delivers the exact level of security required for any corporate or government IT department.
