Cellphone privacy

Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling about cellphone privacy makes Saelig's Forensic pouches even more relevant to law enforcement professionals.  Even Justic Roberts suggested using them to keep data secure while a phone is seized before court approval for examination.  Did you know you can wipe out a phone's memory remotely (if you know what you're doing) with just a phone call?

Throwback Thursday - 1995

Throwback Thursday (whose idea was that anyway?) SAELIG advertisement from 1995. The TDS Forth computer was the first product we sold in 1988. Note: 10.4” LCD is priced at $2695! And we were one of the first on the web too!

PICO PicoScope Education Kit

Teachers around the country are already thinking about what they’ll teach next school year. The PicoScope Education Kit may be just what you need!  It is a versatile and affordable kit that has many educational uses, is suitable for use in middle schools, colleges, universities and beyond, and comes with all you need to perform a variety of experiments. Everything fits neatly into a durable carry case allowing you to set up an experiment and get started within a matter of minutes. Based on the included PicoScope 2205 Dual–channel USB-connected PC Oscilloscope, this kit is capable of real-time sampling rates of up to 200 Megasamples per second, has a 25 MHz analog bandwidth and a 16,000 sample buffer memory. With the PicoScope 2205 you get a complete test and measurement lab in one compact device: as well as an oscilloscope, the PicoScope 2205 can also function as a spectrum analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator and data logger too. The PicoScope Education Kit comes complete with PicoScope for Education software — a version of Pico’s popular PicoScope 6 software. As well as all the features of PicoScope 6 — including oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, waveform generator, automated measurements and persistence display modes — PicoScope for Education also includes an Experiments Menu: select an experiment from the menu and PicoScope will automatically set up your oscilloscope and display detailed instructions which explain the purpose of the experiment, apparatus needed, method and expected results — allowing you to get started on the experiment with the minimum amount of effort and time.  You can even customize PicoScope for Education by adding your own experiments to the experiments menu.

Water works ...

Summertime is here and I hope that for you things can slow down a bit as you relax and enjoy quality time with friends and family.  It might also be a time to reassess how the year is going and what could be changed to improve it.  Recently, I went to a seminar where the presenter from a local “Great Places To Work” company mentioned that their new hires are issued with (among other essentials) a Squirt Gun.  This is to be used in meetings when colleagues say anything negative about an idea or person.  My aim is to make Saelig the best place to work and we haven’t needed a Squirt Gun here yet! 

Fair Trade

We at Saelig Company Inc. support Fair Trade practices. So we are pleased to report that the Dunkin Donuts cards we give away free with $50 orders supports Fair Trade. Did you know that every time you buy an Espresso, Cappuccino or Latte beverage from Dunkin’ Donuts that you’re supporting Fair Trade? Dunkin’ Donuts’ espresso beans are 100% Fair Trade Certified™ and selected from high-quality Arabica beans, providing additional income to the farmers who grow and harvest it. Farmers who participate in Fair Trade can count on income stability that allows them to invest in sustainable farming practices and socio-economic programs. Fair Trade premiums going back to farming communities allows them to fund business enhancements, quality improvements, infrastructure construction or other community projects, depending on their unique needs. In addition, Fair Trade’s environmental standards have helped many Fair Trade farmers to improve the sustainability of their farms. According to Fair Trade USA, an estimated 30 percent of producer organizations invest a portion of their Fair Trade premiums in environmental initiatives. So the next time you place an order with us over $50, request a Dunkin Donuts card and give yourself a pat on the back for supporting Fair Trade and ensuring economic stability for the coffee farmers who bring us great tasting Fair Trade Certified™ espresso beans.
