We are a manufacturer of industrial ultrasonic testing equipment most commonly used in the petrochemical, aerospace, automotive, and other generally related industries. The pages that follow will provide you with general information regarding our products. If you have any questions, need technical support, or have a request for custom items, please contact us at your leisure using the information provided on this site.
Our products are commonly used to determine the thickness of a variety of materials by making contact with only one side of the material being tested. They have the ability to detect very fine pits, flaws, and porosity in materials without having to destroy the material or parts being tested. This is done by converting the transit time of a sound wave, sent into and reflecting back from a defect or opposite surface in the test material, into a length measurement. This technique uses principles similar to that of sonar.
We also manufacture a line of ultrasonic bolting equipment that very accurately measures the stress, elongation, and load in threaded fasteners. These products are typically used in critical bolting applications where extreme accuracy is needed. If you have any specific or specialized bolting applications in mind, be sure to contact us to discuss your requirements in detail.

Prof. Dr. İbrahim Saraçoğlu'ndan gençlik kürü , maydanozun faydaları, zayıflatır mı, güzellik için, sağlık, hayat, suyunun, faydası, maydanozu nasıl,tüketmeliyiz ? Genç görünmek, zinde ve dinç olmak, cildinize canlılık, güzellik ve tazelik kazandırmak, vücudunuzdan toksin atmak, bağışıklık sisteminizi güçlendirerek enfeksiyonlara karşı direnç arttırmak, dolaşım bozukluğu yaşamadan kilo vermek, ruh sağlığınızı güçlendirmek istiyorsanız Prof. İbrahim Saraçoğlu'nun hazırladığı 'maydanoz ve beyaz lahana kürünü' uygulayın.
Kökleri hariç, saplarıyla birlikte 15-20 tane taze maydanozu havanda iyice ezin, üzerine yarım limon sıkın İyice karıştırdıktan sonra sabah kahvaltısından yarım saat önce aç karnına tüketin, üzerine bir bardak su için. On beş gün ara vermeden her sabah bu kürü uygulayın. Sonra bir hafta ara verin. Bir hafta aradan sonra tekrar on beş gün aynı şekilde kürü uygulayın. Dört-beş ay sonra duruma göre bu kürü aynı şekilde tekrar edebilirsiniz.
Daha önce uyguladığı taze sıkılmış havuç kürü ile Alzheimer’ı yüzde 30 oranında iyileştiren, depresyona karşı ıspanak kürü öneren, prostat ve üriner sistem için brokoli kürünü tavsiye eden Prof. İbrahim Saraçoğlu, ‘gençlik’ için ‘maydanoz ve beyaz lahana kürü’ hazırladı.
Bitkilerin barındırdığı ve insan sağlığını etkileyen aktif maddeler üzerinde yaptığı çalışmaları uluslararası alanda kabul gören Profesör İbrahim Saraçoğlu, genç görünmek, zinde ve dinç olmak, cildinize canlılık, güzellik ve tazelik kazandırmak, vücudunuzdan toksin atmak, bağışıklık sisteminizi güçlendirerek enfeksiyonlara karşı vücudunuzun direncini artırmak, dolaşım bozukluğu yaşamadan bir miktar kilo vermek, hatta ruh sağlığınızı güçlendirmek için Tempo okurları için özel iki kür hazırladı.
Profesör Saraçoğlu, maydanoz ve beyaz lahananın etkilerini yazdıktan sonra biran durup düşünmek zorunda kaldığını, bu kadar çok çarpıcı özelliğin bir arada olmasının okuyucuya abartılı gelebileceğini söylüyor. Saraçoğlu, maydanoz ve beyaz lahananın özelliklerini alt alta sıraladığında bu endişesinin yersiz olduğuna inandığını da dile getiriyor.
Gençlik formülünün yer aldığı bu dosyada İbrahim Saraçoğlu’nun maydanoz ve beyaz lahana kürünün yanında, Avrupa Anti-Aging Derneği Başkan Yardımcısı Hasan İnsel’in daha genç kalmak için uyulması gerekli altı altın kuralı ve Amerikan Hastanesi Diyetisyeni Tuğçe Aytulu’nun, daha sağlıklı ve gençlik için gerekli besinleri içeren listesini bulabilirsiniz.
Ancak, önemli bir noktayı hatırlatmakta yarar var. İbrahim Saraçoğlu’nun verdiği iki kürün herhangi bir hastalığı teşhis amacı kesinlikle yok. Eğer, bir rahatsızlığınız var ise doktora gitmelisiniz. Haberimizde yer alan kürleri ise destekleyici ve yardımcı tedavi olarak uygulayabilirsiniz.
Profesör İbrahim Saraçoğlu maydanoz kürünü anlatıyor “Maydanoz yemek yetmez kürü uygulanmalı” Maydanozun, gençleştirme, cilt tazeliğinin, güzelliğinin geri kazanılmasında ve korunmasında rolü büyüktür. Maydanoz bu gücünü, içerdiği etkin maddelerin özellikle karaciğer metabolizması üzerindeki olumlu etkisinden ve tüm vücuttan yabancı kimyasal maddeleri (xenobiotica) atabilme özelliğinden alır.
Sağlıksız çalışan karaciğer metabolizması, cildin yavaş yavaş tazeliğini, güzelliğini ve canlılığını yitirmesine ve kişinin yorgun görünmesine, diğer organlarının olumsuz etkilenmesine neden olur. ‘Maydanoz kürü’ vücudu yabancı kimyasallardan arındırır. Böylece karaciğerin sağlıklı çalışmasında etkin rol oynayarak kişinin daha genç, daha sağlıklı, dinç ve zinde olmasında etkili olur. Maydanoz, karaciğerde bulunan glutathione-S-transferaz (GST) enziminin aktivitesini yükseltir. GST enzimi, gerek besinler yoluyla gerekse de solum yoluyla aldığımız zararlı kimyasal maddeleri zararsız hale dönüştürür.
Bu kürü uygulayanlar kısa zamanda çok başarılı sonuçlar alabilirler. Bunun nedeni, maydanozun insan metabolizması üzerindeki etkilerinin çok hızlı oluşmasıdır. Maydanoz, doğru şekilde uygulandığı taktirde mucize yaratan bir bitkidir. Yemeklerinizde veya salatanızda bolca maydanoz kullanmanızın bir beslenme şekli olduğunu, kesinlikle bir kür olmadığının bilinmesi gerekir.
Çünkü, salatanın içindeki tuz, baharat ve ekşi (limon, sirke v.b.) maydanozun etkin maddeleri ile reaksiyona girerek istenilen sonucu almamıza engel olmaktadır. Kür, her bitkinin kendine özgü ve amaca uygun olarak hazırlanması ve kullanılmasıdır.
Günümüzde tükettiğimiz hiç bir besin saf değil. Tükettiğimiz et, sebze ve meyveler, içtiğimiz su, soluduğumuz hava kontamine (kirli) olmuş durumdadır. Kullanılan zirai ilaçlar, hormonlar, transgen tohumlar (genleri ile oynanmış tohumlar), besinlere ilave edilen koruyucu katkı maddeleri, fabrika bacalarından ve araçların motorlarından çıkan egzoz gazları, sonuçta hep insana geri dönen kontaminasyon (kirlilik) kaynaklarını oluşturmaktadır. Kimyasalların zamanla organlardaki birikimi hem hastalıklara karşı direnci zayıflatır hem de organ şikâyetlerinin daha erken ortaya çıkmasını sağlar.

VSEP Membrane Cleaners In addition to filtration systems, New Logic manufactures a complete line of chemical cleaners designed to maintain maximum flow rates in all VSEP applications.Years of exhaustive research and development by New Logic engineers have resulted in seven chemical cleaners formulated to attack the most stubborn foulants across a wide range of membranes and feed streams.While designed for VSEP membrane filtration systems, these advanced formulas are perfect for cleaning any membrane.To learn more about VSEP Advanced Cleaning Solutions, please choose a link below to visit our sister site
While membrane-based separations of liquids from solids have enjoyed increasing popularity over the last 20 years, the technology has an inherent Achilles heel that affects all membrane devices: fouling. This long-term loss in throughput capacity is due primarily to the formation of a boundary layer that builds up naturally on the membranes surface during the filtration process.In addition to cutting down on the flux performance of the membrane, this boundary or gel layer acts as a secondary membrane reducing the native design selectivity of the membrane in use.EMERYVILLE, Calif. and IPSWICH, Australia, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- New Logic Research, Inc., the maker of VSEP, the vibrating membrane filtration system, announced today its participation in the official commissioning ceremony for the Australian Hardboards Water Recycling Plant in Queensland, Australia.
On hand for the ceremony were members of the Australian Hardboards and New Logic executive team, as well as numerous business leaders and local officials, including Cr. Paul Pisasale, the mayor of Ipswich.
The wastewater treatment and recovery system, which combines seven i84 VSEP nanofiltration membrane modules, recovers wastewater for reuse within the plant. The system, which is capable of processing approximately 200,000 gallons per day, runs continuously automated by a programmable logic controller (PLC).
According to New Logic CEO Greg Johnson, "VSEP is fast becoming accepted as the best available technology for tough wastewater treatment applications in Australia. The Australian Hardboards installation represents our second Australian installation in as many months; still more will be coming online within the next year. We were honored to be a part of the ceremony, and to show our commitment to helping to solve the Australian water shortage problem."
New Logic International Sales Manager Melysa Reiss adds, "The paradox of Australia's decreasing water resources and increasing industrial demand requires innovative technologies to bridge the gap. We are proud to have the opportunity to do just that for Australian Hardboards and other firms throughout the continent."
Water shortage caused by drought and increased populations has created a crisis in many parts of Australia. Water supply levels have fallen to 30% of normal, and continue to drop. Local water districts have implemented severe water restrictions to try to stop the drop in supply levels. Brisbane is currently at a Level 4 water restriction that requires mandatory conservation. By recycling its wastewater and reducing its fresh water intake using the VSEP system, AHL has conserved the equivalent of 2000 homes worth of water supply per year. This example of water conservation is being used as a showpiece for other industries to follow.

Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance regulation has proved to be one of the biggest operational challenges banks, accountants, lawyers and similar financial service providers worldwide have had to overcome.
World-Check, the industry standard KYC compliance solution, provides an overview of KYC compliance and its origins, and outlines the compliance mandate as applicable to banks, accounting firms, lawyers and other regulated financial service providers – not just in the UK, Europe and the USA, but all around the world. Relied upon by more than 3,000 institutions worldwide, this KYC database solution provides effective legal and reputational risk reduction.
Why “Know Your Customer?”
The 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre revealed that there were sinister forces at work around the world, and that terrorists activities were being funded with laundered money, the proceeds of illicit activities such as narcotics and human trafficking, fraud and organised crime. Overnight, the combating of terrorist financing became a priority on the international agenda.
For the financial services provider of the 21st century, “knowing your customers” was no longer a suggested course of action. Based on the requirements of legislative landmarks such as the USA PATRIOT Act 2002, modern Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance mandates were created to simultaneously combat money laundering and the funding of terrorist activities.
What is Know Your Customer (KYC)?
Know Your Customer, or KYC, refers to the regulatory compliance mandate imposed on financial service providers to implement a Customer Identification Programme and perform due diligence checks before doing business with a person or entity.
KYC fulfils a risk mitigation function, and one its key requirements is checking that a prospective customer is not listed on any government lists for wanted money launders, known fraudsters or terrorists.
If preliminary KYC checks reveal that the person is a Politically Exposed Person (PEP), for example, Advanced Due Diligence must be done in order to ensure that the person’s source of wealth is transparent, and that he or she does not pose a reputational or financial risk in terms of their finances, public positions or associations. Beyond customer identification checks, the ongoing monitoring of transfers and financial transactions against a range of risk variables forms an integral part of the KYC compliance mandate.
But to understand the importance of KYC compliance for financial service providers better, its origins need to be examined.
Origins of Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance
The arrival of the new millennium was marred by a spate of terrorist attacks and corporate scandals that unmasked the darker features of globalisation. These events highlighted the role of money laundering in cross-border crime and terrorism, and underlined the need to clamp down on the exploitation of financial systems worldwide.
Know Your Customer (KYC) legislation was principally not absent prior to 9/11. Regulated financial service providers for a long time have been required to conduct due diligence and customer identification checks in order to mitigate their own operation risks, and to ensure a consistent and acceptable level of service.
In essence, the USA PATRIOT Act was not so much a radical departure from prior legislation as it was a firmer and more extensive articulation of existing laws. The Act would lead to the more rigorous regulation of a greater range of financial services providers, and expanded the authority of American law enforcement agencies in the fighting of terrorism, both in the USA and abroad.
In October 2001, President George W. Bush signed off the USA PATRIOT Act, effectively providing federal regulators with a new range of tools and powers for fighting terror financing and money laundering. During July 2002, the US Treasury proceeded to introduce Section 326 of the PATRIOT Act, a clause that removed some key burdens for regulators and added significant enforcement muscle to the Act.
What 9/11 changed, in essence, was the extent to which existing legislation was being implemented. Using the provisions of the earlier anti-terrorism USA Act as a foundation, it included the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act, which allowed for federal jurisdiction over foreign money launders and money laundered through foreign banks. Significantly, it is this anti-terror law that would make the creation of an Anti Money Laundering (AML) programme compulsory for all financial institutions and service providers.
Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act dealt specifically with the identification of new customers (“CIP regulation”), and made extensive provisions in terms of KYC and the methods employed to verify client identities.
In accordance with this piece of updated KYC legislation, federal regulators would hold financial institutions accountable for the effectiveness of their initial customer identification and ongoing KYC screening. Institutions are required to keep detailed records of the steps that were taken to verify prospective clients’ identities.
Although current KYC legislation does not yet demand the exclusion of specific types of foreign-issued identification, it recommends the usage of machine-verifiable identity documents. The ability to notify financial institutions if concerns regarding specific types of identification were to arise, combined with a risk-based approach to KYC, proved to provide a robust mechanism for addressing security concerns.
Effectively, the risk-based approach to customer due diligence grants regulated institutions a certain degree of flexibility to determine the forms of identification they will accept, and under which conditions.
KYC compliance: Implications for banks, lawyers and accounting firms
The KYC compliance mandate, for all its positive outcomes, has burdened companies and organisations with a substantial administrative obligation. Additionally, KYC compliance increasingly entails the creation of auditable proof of due diligence activities, in addition to the need for customer identification.

With the ever-increasing emphasis on being able to demonstrate adequate anti money laundering procedures and prevention techniques, plus the draconian penalties for those failing to maintain suitable evidence of such activity, no financial institution can afford to be without an automated system such as MLTrac.
MLTrac is part of our portfolio of banking software and is dedicated to identifying, tracking and regulating potentially suspicious or illegal activities in respect of money laundering and/or the proceeds of crime.
MLTrac enables financial institutions to improve their internal disciplines,supplement their policies and procedures, and make a clear statement to the authorities about their commitment to effective anti money laundering controls.
MLTrac's functionality is based upon a combination of our experience, together with contributions from our customer base and the relevant international financial authorities. Regular updates also take account of any future changes in market requirements and legislation.
Functions:
* KYC Document Management - The definition, scanning, management and tracking of customer documentation, and reporting of any deviations. * KYC Account Monitoring -The tracking of movements over account(s) looking for deviations outside of a pre-determined profile. * Manual Watch List Checking. Enter a name and the system will check to see if the name, or like sounding names, appear on any of the watch lists (e.g. OFAC, Bank of England and others) that the system monitors * Message Monitoring. MLTrac can be configured to check all inbound and outbound messages, irrespective of format, to see whether any field (normally the Ordering Customer and Beneficiary) appears on one of the supported checklists. The bank has control over the granularity of the name checking so as not to create too many false alerts. Messages that fail Watch List Checking are put to a quarantine queue for manual intervention. Full Audit Trails of all checks and actions taken is maintained by the system. * Cash Remittances. For the many institutions that originate from a country with a large overseas population the problems associated with accepting cash for remittance back home when taken against the potential ramifications of anti money laundering legislation means that the business is very risky and, often, not worth doing . The Cash Remittances module does away with this fear. Information concerning the remitter is maintained as part of the KYC Documentation Management module and is displayed and made available to the teller at the point of capturing data. A full record off all remitters and beneficiaries is maintained . Limits can be placed upon the individual remitter and upon the ultimate beneficiary (irrespective of source). The resulting SQL database can be interrogated for unusual payment patterns
