The Roles of the Indicator For Innovations

Many organizations now are finding ways on how they can be more productive. There are several challenges that lie here though and this is one of the reasons why a businessman should be serious when exerting efforts that will contribute in the success of the company. In this case, there is a need for businesses to produce an indicator for innovations at least once a year. The main goal here is to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the company relating to the measures that are connected with the economy innovation. One has to understand that innovation here refers to the conversion of skills, knowledge and ideas into a form of a benefit that can be used either commercially or for the good of the public. It does not matter whether the product, process or service is new or improved. Simply, innovation is the procedure of producing and applying fresh ideas continually.

Companies have a team of researchers and they conduct studies regarding the task of identifying broad sets of measures that will be considered as a part of the indicator for innovations. If you want to produce your own innovations indicator, you have to bear in mind that it should meet the right criteria that will be deemed as appropriate for your company. These may include the ability to measure the capability for technological progress, innovation and composition of the workforce. In addition, it should also be issued regularly at least once a year for the business and be generated by a reliable source in the business with a consistent tactic.

Your company may have about five indicators in this regard but always remember that having too many may not be great for your organization. Only choose the suitable number that can be easily handled by your firm to avoid any errors in the future. You can involve indicators like the education level of your employees, the percentage of the engineers or scientists in the workforce, the number of patents established, the investment of your company in terms of research and development and the capital investment.

When you have already compiled the appropriate indicators for your firm, you will be able to understand more about the benefits that they present. Nevertheless, you will only experience those gains when you fully comprehend the roles of the innovations indicator. With this, you can have a better understanding when it comes to the productivity not only of the growth accounting but also for the overall factor productivity. This is believed to the solution to measuring the force of science and technology to the economy. Plus, it has the role of linking innovation to its most significant role, which is to increase people's standard of living.

Gibson Guitars: Explorations in Innovation

The tradition of quality associated with Gibson guitars dates as far back as the late 1800s when Orville Gibson started the company with his skill and interest in the guitar. Probably one of the keys to the success of the company then and now is its tangent for innovation. This innovation continued through economic hardship, which saw the introduction of the L-5, ES-150, electric guitar. While the company originated as a manufacturer of mandolins and guitars, it was the design of the ES-150, the company's first electric guitar that hailed them to the top of the list of guitar manufacturers. The innovation in the company originated with guitarists such as Lloyd Loar and Les Paul, whose ideas were used to create some of the company's most innovative designs.

Reviewing the Original Gibsons

The Les Paul Standard is by far the most popular of all Gibson guitars. It was way back in the early 1950s that it was introduced as the company's premier solid body electric guitar. Today the Les Paul Standard has several variations, including the Les Paul Standard Faded, Les Paul Standard Double Cut, Les Paul Standard Limited Edition, and Les Paul Standard Premium.

While many guitar manufacturers find ways to cut corners to assemble guitars as fast as they can, Gibson continues its tradition of hand making each guitar it produces. The Gibson acoustic is the classic tradition of guitars. Gibson continues to make the classic acoustic guitars in natural wood. It's probably the case that if you learned how to play the guitar in elementary school, that your music teacher had an inventory of Gibson guitars. The value of these guitars has not decreased, although many musicians probably wish the price would decrease! Classic Gibson acoustic guitars such as the SJ200 and the Hummingbird are still as popular as when they were first introduced, although most people purchase them as collector's items.

Electric guitars were made to play rock music, right? This message couldn't get any clearer with Gibson's release of a replica of the guitar associated with Angus Young of AC/DC. Usually when makers of guitars reproduce a classic, they tend to add additional features that actually take away from what was so great about the original. The Angus Young Signature SG is basically a mirror image of the classic guitar.

The list of famous individuals who have counted on the traditional quality and innovation of Gibson guitars is long. This relationship is probably due in part to the Gibson company's solicitation of professional guitarists to assist in designing innovative Gibson guitars. Who else knows more about what "serious" guitarists want than the professionals who push them to their limits? Celebrities that have been longtime fans of Gibson guitars include Paul McCartney and Jimmy Page. Aside from the outstanding pickups, Gibson guitars for electric guitar lovers are generally custom-made to order. It is probably the case that the Gibson electric guitars feature some of the most unique styles and designs. The Gibson Firebird Studio Electric, L4 CES Archtop, and the Gibson Zakk Wylde Les Paul electric guitars prove that there are no limits in the how Gibson is able to allow a guitarist to explore the creative limits of Gibson guitars.

Video Conferencing - An Innovation to Boost Your Business

In the modern era when there is advancement taking place in each and every field, a similar advancement can also be seen in the field of communication which has entirely changed the way communications are done. The technique of Video Conferencing makes use of audio as well as visual features which look like as if both the parties communicating are sitting together in a single room only.

Its maximum use is made in communications required during businesses. It is often seen that for clearing out the slightest doubt, a company official has to go overseas to meet its client and carry on the talk. But in order to save the cost incurred during the traveling of the official to the other country, the use of the video conferencing technique could save them a lot in terms of money as well as time. For the project which might take extra weeks due to extra time required for traveling, Videoconferencing technique can complete that in some days only.

In order to have an access to the Video Conferencing Facilities, one needs to assemble a simple setup which would speed up its process of communication. The setup is as follows:

1. Initial requirement is a room which can accommodate 20-30 company officials at a single time. One should take care that the room should neither be too big nor too small as in case of a big room the voice would echo as well as it might be possible that the person sitting at the last might not be able to see the screen clearly.

2. A L.C.D screen which would provide the visual features.

3. Good quality speakers. This is important so that the communication taking place is audible to each and every member sitting in the room so that each member can participate effectively.




Video Conferencing and Video Conferencing Facilities enable any organization to tap into cost effective internet channel to carry their day to day activities. If you are looking for a reliable and affordable Videoconferencing Rental please contact a recognized Video Conference Center.

SteamFast Steam Cleaner - SF-275

SteamFast Steam Cleaner - SF-275 Last Saturday (1/19) I bought the Shark Steam Blaster Jr. - Red (S3210R) Spent half the day Saturday steaming! LOL (This is a hand-held model, very similar to the Rainbow Steamer and the Scunci) Overall it worked well. A few minor complaints. The squeegee attachment was useless, water everywhere when I used it on the bathroom mirror.

Many of the complaints I read was the amount of time wasted in refilling/waiting for reheat. I found that you can work out a routine to work around the waiting. The steam lasts for about 15-20 minutes. Then I'd wait 5 min. to cool, let out the steam and refill. I didn't mind the wait.

Bathroom: Overall cleaning the bathroom was a success.

Kitchen- WOW! I was pleasantly surprised that it was strong enough to remove baked on grease on my stove that I've been trying to remove for months! It took a little elbow grease. A little trick I used was to drop very small drops of dish detergent directly on the stain then blast it with the steam! BINGO! Beautifully cleaned the microwave, oven door, granite counters, sink, and tile floor grout!

Unfortunately I could not get baked on grease off the bottom of my pans and I also wanted a floor attachment. - SO... I ordered from Walmart the SteamFast SteamMax Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner. LOL! I receive it today (1/25) and I already used it in my bathroom. BIG DIFFERENCE from the hand held. Much stronger, less water spray, faster work. Way longer use before refilling (in fact, I dumped water out of it after cleaning the entire bathroom). I'll be tackling the pans baked on grease tomorrow and will let you know.

I'm going to return the Shark hand held.

Also check out Sam's Club.com they carry the Monster SC60 Steam Cleaner It seems a little bit more powerful than the SteamFast. Steam Fast: SF-275 Without the use of cleaning solutions or chemicals, this powerful 1500-watt steam cleaner uses pressurized steam from ordinary tap water to remove tough grease, dirt, and grime from household hard surfaces. After filling its large-capacity, 50-ounce water tank, the cleaner can run for one full hour under normal usage. The unit's steam power is ideal for cleaning and deodorizing kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, counter tops, patio furniture, barbecue grills, garbage cans, car tires and wheels, and more. The amount of steam coming from the unit is easy to control, and nine convenient accessories make it possible to clean nooks and crannies in hard-to-reach places. Other useful features include a lighted "on/off" switch with a steam-ready light, the ability to eliminate dust mites and other allergens, a utility-brush storage compartment, and castors for easy mobility. The steam cleaner measures approximately 20 by 13 by 12-1/2 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Sunpentown SR-1851 1200-Watt Countertop Induction Cooktop

Sunpentown SR-1851 1200-Watt Countertop Induction Cooktop Work well except that it is a little loud - the-big-bend - Houston, TX United States
It is very light and heats things up quickly and efficiently. Since it does not get hot at the bottom, you can leave it on any table while cooking. I use it to make Chinese Hot Pot dishes and it is perfect for that. The cooling fan is a little loud. If you plan to use it for a quiet dinner, then the noise may be noticeable. However for typical pot hot dinner, the guests are likely to be very loud so no one would notice it.
I needed a small cooktop for my work space, electric preferred for safety reasons. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and this induction cooktop was a perfect solution. The small size is ideal. I doesn't generate a lot of heat and only heats the surface it adheres to magnetically. It starts and stops the heating process quickly. I like the multiple temperature control options, from warm to cook with heat settings from 120F to 420F. However, it doesn't get the pan hot very quickly and heats only a small diameter in the center of the pan, thus it can take awhile to gets things warmed or heated. I don't find the fan noisy, but it is audible. For light cooking, it's coming in handy. I don't think it will do well for major cooking projects. Another draw back is finding ferrous pans to stick to the cooktop. Modern cooking pans lack magnetic propoerties so it's hard to find the metallic composition needed in the pan/pot size and function needed. Overall a good buy. Next time I'll try a more advanced model for major cooking options. Sunpentown: SR-1851 Electric induction elements provide best cooktop performance, safety and efficiency. Unlike other electric elements, induction elements provide the precise temperature control of gas burners for gourmet cooking. Turning the dial down, the heat energy to the pan immediately decreases. Magnetic waves have no effect on skin or anything other than iron or steel. If the pan is accidentally removed from the cooktop, no more heat is produced. SAFE - no flames, butane or burners! Eliminates the danger of gas jets and hot burners. The innovative design of the ceramic plate creates instant heat, but only to induction-compatible pans. FAST - no waiting time, heat is instantly transferred to the pan. CLEAN - reduces pollution, fumes and offensive odor. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

5 Awesome Innovations That Bring Sexy Back To The Future

There's something to be said about Timberlake's "Sexy Back" from two years ago - when half the people were trying to mesh noir and technology together to form some steampunk-ish child, the song (and mostly the video) evokes a wanting for bringing sexy back to technology.

That gives everyone a bit of re-decorating to look forward to - throw out the wires, the dials and the big, clunky forms - leave in the sleek, shiny plastic, brushed metal and the slimmest possible sizes.

This is, to say, in the future, clutter is a no-no, and using walls, tables and other fixtures will act as screens and input devices.

For those planning the transition as early as today, here are a few gadgets, concepts and innovations you have to look forward to, and make space for.
(Most of these are concepts and do not exist yet in reality. It's a wonder how other people's imaginations overlap our own desires for the future.)

Multi-Touch Technology - 6 years after Minority Report and we're still obsessing about re-creating the futuristic interface that Anderton used in the movie - case in point? That video for "Ayo Technology." (Which, surprisingly, also stars Timberlake.)

The difference of Multi-Touch Technology with similar touch-screen interfaces is that it can accept multiple inputs at the same time. This means multiple fingers = multiple inputs, and it also means that multi-user applications is possible. This is already widely used and may come in a photosensor/screen wall near you. Apple's iPhone is one example of this - the iPhone uses Multi-Touch scrolling and picture manipulation technology.

Vaio Zoom - While not designed by Sony, this Yanko Design Concept is an interesting piece. What started out as "showing what's behind the screen" wallpaper series, this concept takes it a lot further by implementing holographic displays over a transparent screen.

Nonobject Behind the Scenes Camera - To help shape what the future will become, Nonobject has dedicated their time to creating fully plausible (and yet currently unbuildable) designs that are created to inspire future tinkerers.
The idea behind the Nonobject Behind the Scenes Camera is being able to take photos from scenes that are both in front of you and behind you. Thing is, how would you take a photo without getting your face, body and hands in the way? I have no clue either.

Proclaim Speaker DMT-100 - These futuristic eyeball speakers just look amazing. With pivoting arms, the "eyes" can be positioned so that the sound waves can travel in different directions, plus, it also helps if you have a space problem and need something that can be neatly tucked into place.

Printer Table - Again, from Yanko Design, this sleek device marries a furniture into something a little more useful. Want that report printed out while you have coffee? No sweat - using this device, one doesn't need to run to the office printer while enjoying coffee with clients, just load in a fresh ream of paper in the faux drawers ... and you're good to go!

The Top 10 Reasons to Begin an Innovation Practice

Even while the economy languishes, and most companies are in survival mode, technological innovations that have been in the pipeline for decades continue to drive massive change in the markets.  In fact, all signs indicate the rate of change in the economy is increasing.  Those companies with an active innovation program in place will be in the best position to dominate when purchasing power begins to increase.

Many people are confused by the concept of innovation, thinking that it is something in which only the very brightest people participate.  On the contrary, anyone can and should participate in a properly run innovation program. 

Here are 10 top reasons (in no particular order) to begin an innovation practice within your company today.

1. Create a new product/service/process/system - This is the heart of true innovation - the creation of a new thing.  But, remember it does not have to be patentable, just an improvement on an existing system or product.

2. Job creation - Innovation is one of the top drivers of job creation in the US, and is the fastest path we can take out of this economic morass.

3. Cut costs - The simplest innovation program is one in which you ask the people involved how to do the task in a less costly manner.  A properly motivated staff often times produces amazing results.

4. Become more productive - Similar to number three above, you could ask your staff how to do the task in fewer steps, faster, or combine it with another step to be more efficient.

5. Create a better USP - In the hyper-competitive market that we currently find ourselves, being able to differentiate our product/service is absolutely invaluable.  Innovation can make your Unique Selling Proposition truly unique.

6. Prevent boredom - Finding a new way to do the same old task can be fun and possibly exciting.  Innovation of a routine process just for the challenge of it can get the old creative juices flowing again.

7. Open new markets - Sometimes you just have to modify your product/service only slightly to be able to move it into a new market.  Sometime you may have to do more then a slight modification, but if you are successful, you have a new revenue stream.

8. Meet new people - The strength of your business depends to a large degree on the people in your network.  When you do new things in the same market or different things in a new market, you attract new and different people to your company.  By itself this is valuable.

9. Create a new pathway to wealth - While becoming wealthy may not be your primary motivation, innovation is the traditional means and one of the fastest ways to achieve financial independence.

10. Become famous - Becoming famous may not be your primary reason for innovation either, but if you do it properly, it can be a fast track to becoming well known.  With too many media outlets and not enough interesting news, getting your face on one or more of the channels is not that difficult with the right story.
