“The first product specifically developed for serious dark circles … not the kind that pop up in the morning and are gone by breakfast, but the kind of serious dark circles that stay around forever … making you look old, tired and exhausted.”

Do you know what actually “causes” serious dark circles? I thought I did … but I was wrong. Like most people, I thought dark circles were caused by hard partying, working late, being tired or simple allergies. But according to most research dermatologists, serious dark circles (the kind that make you look old, tired and exhausted) are about, of all things, the oxidation of hemoglobin (blood) in the capillary matrix of the peri-orbital eye area. What a mouthful! These capillaries actually “leak” blood that begins to oxidize (through a process called hemoglobin degradation) … creating a dark bluish-red pigmentation that looks distinctly like an ugly bruise.

What does all that mean in plain English? Tiny little capillaries deposit blood around your sensitive eye area. The blood turns deep purple and you end up looking like you just went 12 hard rounds in a boxing ring.

Not an Ordinary Eye Cream … A Dark Circle Breakthrough

Because serious dark circles are so difficult to address (just take a look in the mirror after lunch … ouch! So much for cakey concealers) it’s not surprising that the hottest new “must-have” compound to shake up the “cosmeceutical” market is something called Hylexin.[TM] Why? Because it’s the first formula specifically developed to dramatically reduce the appearance of serious dark circles. In scientific studies, Hylexin[TM] has been shown to help reduce hemoglobin degradation by products by optimizing enzymatic activity … causing the red-blue pigmentation to fade. Studies also confirm that Hylexin[TM] actually helps strengthen the capillary matrix to help stop the “leaking” … so your orbital eye area is protected against further damage. Science is soooo cool!

Need More Proof?

In a double-blind clinical trial more than 72% of women who had serious dark circles and used Hylexin’s[TM] key compound saw an obvious, tangible, visible reduction in the color and severity of their dark circles. These results were confirmed with high-speed laboratory photography that clearly showed a significant reduction in the appearance of the blue and red color that makes dark eye circles so noticeable and so unattractive.

But forget about scientific studies. Talk to people who’ve used Hylexin[TM] and they all say the same thing … “Amazing!” In a matter of days, serious dark circles begin to fade … your eyes look clear, bright and alive.

So if your dark circles are of the “ordinary” variety you probably don’t need Hylexin[TM]. But if you’re like the rest of us and need more than just a simple “eye cream,” there’s only one question … What are you waiting for? See you at the Hylexin[TM] counter!

NEED HELP FINDING HYLEXIN[TM]?

As you might imagine, finding a tube of Hylexin[TM] is just about as difficult as finding an authentic “Louis Vuitton[R]” bag on a New York street corner. This stuff is almost impossible to get. Your best bets are Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora or Macy’s, if they’re out of stock you can put your name on the waiting list or you can order Hylexin[TM] directly from Bremenn Research Labs[TM] at www.Hylexin.com or call 1-800-379-2600.

Oh, by the way, Hylexin[TM] is not cheap … a four to six week supply (.78 oz tube) costs about $95.00. But I guess, like all things in life, you get what you pay for.

And don’t forget, Hylexin[TM] is backed by Bremenn Research Labs’ no questions asked, money-back guarantee. If Hylexin[TM] doesn’t dramatically reduce the appearance of serious dark circles and make your eyes look brighter and more alive, simply return the unused portion within 30 days for a full refund.

A major component of the ASMM Project is the Aviation Performance Measuring System (APMS), which is developing the next generation of software tools for analyzing and interpreting flight data (see figure). Airlines, military units, corporate operators, and others analyze aircraft flight data to identify contributing factors and corrective actions for situations in which aircraft performance parameters exceed normal limits during phases of flight. The programs for performing such exceedance-based analyses are denoted flight operations quality assurance (FOQA in civilian settings) programs and take their inspiration from statistical process control. However, FOQA analysis involves use of only a portion of the data: large quantities of data are scanned to extract and understand a small number of predefined events. The sets of data contain far more information that is potentially helpful for understanding and enhancing the safety, reliability, and economy of flight operations the challenge is to find and understand key information from the mass of data generated by aircraft and collected by data recorders. There is a need to automate scanning, analysis, and reporting to produce meaningful information upon which human analysts can act. The APMS software is intended to satisfy this need. Beginning with workload enhancements to exceedance-based FOQA analyses and progressing to sophisticated multivariate statistical analyses, the APMS has developed key software tools to advance the science of flight-data analysis.

Another major component of the ASMM Project is the Performance Data Analysis and Reporting System (PDARS), which is developing networking and analysis hardware and software for application aii-irallic-control (ATC) radar data. PDARS, which was developed jointly with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of System Capacity, provides ATC decision-makers at the facility level with a comprehensive means of monitoring the health, performance, and safety of day-to-day ATC operations. PDARS enables analysis of daily operation of the National Airspace System (NAS) at local and inter-facility levels. By translating flight-track and flight-plan data into useful performance information, PDARS significantly augments the ability of the FAA to adjust operational procedures and techniques. The net outcomes of these adjustments are quantifiable improvements in safety and efficiency throughout the NAS.

Future progress in aviation safety can be expected to involve the routine integration of information from APMS, PDARS, and other sources. Such integration will require both greater depth of analysis of individual data sources and automated ability to integrate information extracted from diverse sources to draw sound conclusions on causal factors and risk assessment. It also will be necessary for users to evaluate such integration to determine its usefulness. It is planned to develop capabilities for such integration during the next few years.

Flow regulation impacts the ecology of major rivers in various ways, including altering river channel migration patterns. Many current meander migration models employ a constant annual flow or dominant discharge value. To assess how flow regulation alters river function, variable annual flows based on an empirical relationship between bank erosion rates and cumulative effective stream power - were added into an existing migration model. This enhanced model was used to evaluate the potential geomorphic and ecological consequences of four regulated flow scenarios (i.e., different hydrographs) currently being proposed on the Sacramento River in California. The observed rate of land reworked correlated significantly with observed cumulative effective stream power during seven time increments from 1956 to 1975 (r^sup 2^ = 0.74, p = 0.02). The river was observed to rework 3.0 ha/yr of land (a mean channel migration rate of 7.7 m/yr) with rates ranging from 0.8 ha/yr to 5.1 ha/yr (2.0 to 13.3 m/yr), during the analyzed time periods. Modeled rates of land reworked correlated significantly with observed rates of land reworked for the variable flow model (r^sup 2^ = 0.78, p = 0.009). The meander migration scenario modeling predicted a difference of 1 to 8 percent between the four flow management scenarios and the base scenario.

Geomagic[R] Studio v9 automatically processes 3D scan data from any physical part to create accurate models for applications from reverse engineering to design and analysis. Along with auto-detection of 3D features, digital reconstruction software offers color texture generation and user-defined patch layout capabilities. Macro system offers ability to add logic and flow control to automation scripts, and users can define their own workflow processes.

********************

(Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA: July 5, 2006) Geomagic[R], a worldwide software and services firm, announces the release of Geomagic Studio 9. This latest release of the digital reconstruction software features three major areas of enhancement: 3D feature-based modeling, advanced color texture generation and greater versatility with user-defined patch layouts.

As a software tool, Geomagic Studio is the leader in effectively and automatically processing 3D scan data for applications ranging from reverse engineering to design and analysis. The software automatically creates accurate models from any physical part, making it ideal for emerging applications such as mass production of customized devices, build-to-order manufacturing and digital asset archiving for automatic recreation of legacy parts.

For design and manufacturing engineers, medical modelers and historical preservationists, the new features provide unmatched automation through: 1) the auto-detection of 3D features; 2) a redesigned powerful macro system with the ability to add logic and flow control to automation scripts; and 3) a system that enables users to define their own workflow processes to reduce (or eliminate) time-intensive tasks. With a training time of only two days, Geomagic provides out-of-the-box productivity and allows for an open workflow for ease-of-use in automotive and aerospace applications, engineering analysis and cast and molding industries.

To enable design and manufacturing engineers to detect and extract the features of an object’s fundamental design, the 3D Features enhancement optimizes a model towards the intent. This function provides the ability to reconstruct “perfect” geometry from real-world objects and scanned data. New features offer the flexibility of optimized manual creation and auto-detection of 3D features or geometric shapes.

For designers or other engineers requiring self-prescribed patch layouts, the Geomagic Studio 9 Draw Patches feature has leaped one step farther to make creating and editing patch layouts as easy as drawing curves. Meeting the needs of numerous applications for constructing NURBS surfaces, the new feature delivers this simple mechanism which provides continuous curves, straight-line drawing and refined boundary handling.

A significant addition to Studio 9 for artisans and historical preservationists, the Advanced Color feature offers the capability to convert per-vertex color models to new representations that use texture maps to retain the full color resolution. An Image Projection feature completes the offering. It features the ability to match a 2D photograph of a model with the 3D scanned model and then build a texture map from the alignment and projection of the digital photo on the scanned model.

“The new features we’ve delivered in Studio 9 are a direct result of carefully listening to our customers and responding to their needs,” comments Dave Bell, senior product manager of Geomagic. “We are committed to providing cutting-edge tools to the industries we serve. Studio 9 is another example of this commitment.”

InfoSewer is used worldwide by municipal engineers and planners to create detailed, accurate models of sewer infrastructure systems. These models enable users to evaluate the effect of new developments, zoning changes, and other additional loads on system flows; pinpoint current and future problem areas; predict overflows and backups; and determine how to best restore needed capacity lost to infiltration and inflow with the least rehabilitation. In addition, users rely on these models to compute hydrogen sulfide generation and corrosion potential; analyze the rate of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) exertion; track sediment movement and deposition; calculate the amount of pollutant transported to the wastewater treatment plant; and assess pollutants’ impacts on receiving waters. The application also provides vital tools for meeting and exceeding environmental regulations and improving community relations.

Toppling the notion that powerful software is necessarily complex, InfoSewer V4 delivers advanced design functionality and exponential increases in efficiency while simplifying its use. Users can now quickly and reliably design new sewer collection systems that consider standard design criteria such as flow depth-to-pipe diameter ratios, velocity, slope, soil cover depth, and pipe crown drop. Using user-input manhole locations, InfoSewer V4 calculates the optimal pipe size and slope, invert elevation of conduits and manholes, soil cover depths at both ends of each pipe section, and cost of excavation and reinstatement to meet target design criteria. Results can be reviewed using profile plots, color coding of sewer maps, or comprehensive tabular reports. They can then be automatically updated in the model database, simplifying the model building process.

Together, these important capabilities will help wastewater utilities worldwide dramatically raise productivity and efficiency by rapidly developing practical and optimal capital improvement strategies that minimize costs while improving system reliability, integrity and performance. By making engineering professionals more productive and their organizations more competitive, V4 delivers benefits utilities can pass on to their customers through better designs and higher quality standards, achieved in a shorter turnaround time.
