What: Webinar: "Business and Operational Risks in Clinical and Safety: Applying Appropriate Technology and Approaches to Mitigate Risk"

All business processes are subject to some level of risk. Key to the long term viability of any company is the critical need to identify the risks, quantify them, minimize them, and have a clear plan for dealing with any residual risks.

Organizations try to mitigate risks by implementing systems that support the company's business processes. Commercial software systems that are available from vendors such as Oracle include many capabilities which, if implemented properly, greatly reduce the risks in the business process.

The implementation of complex systems is, in itself, a risky process. Organizations like BioPharm Systems have been able to use their wide range of experience to develop pre-configured and pre-validated solutions that help reduce the risks during the implementation of a clinical trial management system (CTMS) and a safety system.

This one and a half-hour webinar will provide an overview of business risks related to clinical and safety systems and will illustrate how the risks inherent in implementing complex CTMS and safety systems can be significantly reduced.

Wind Power 2011 Webinar Series

In this webinar, industry leading organizations will present the latest developments in Transmission Technologies & Grid Integration for Offshore Wind Farms.

•The volumes of offshore generation we anticipate in the next 20 years
•The impact this has on the Great Britain transmission system (National Grid and the two TOs in Scotland)
•The options for connecting this generation – radial or integrated
•Examples of how integrated networks could be developed around GB
•How offshore networks can facilitate greater interconnection with other European countries
•The technology assumptions we are making in designing potential offshore networks
•Some of the issues associated with the technology and its delivery

What do you need to know about social media as a volunteer program manager? How can you use sites like Facebook, and Twitter to promote your volunteer opportunities and recruit volunteers? This webinar will offer an introduction to including social media in your volunteer recruitment and retention plans. You'll also learn about the social media tools available in your VolunteerMatch account that help you promote your volunteer opportunity on other social networking sites.

New to VolunteerMatch or need a refresher? Join this free webinar to learn how to post volunteer opportunities to attract the volunteers you need. You'll also learn how to manage and maintain your account and receive a coupon good for three free months of our enhanced organization account known as Community Leader.

Interviewing each prospective volunteer can seem overwhelming, but it's one of the best ways to ensure that the volunteers you recruit are the volunteers you need. This webinar introduces a variety of question types used in volunteer interviews and offers strategies for honing your interview skills. Materials will be provided to help you implement this process in your organization, as well as a training syllabus so you can learn how to recruit and train a volunteer staff to assist with prospective volunteer interviews.

This webinar will discuss the latest advances in structural adhesives for a range of design, manufacturing, and assembly applications. It will include an evaluation of fastening technologies, such as “instant” assembly methods using thermal joining, mechanical fastening, and tapes, as well as the benefits of new structural liquid adhesives. It will offer insight into the role of the converter in the design process, from testing and materials and adhesive selection, to fabrication, manufacturing and assembly.

The webinar will cover:

· The benefits and considerations of structural adhesives vs. alternative methods
· Strength and cost data for structural adhesives vs. mechanical fasteners, welding, and acrylic foam tapes
· Joint design guidelines
· Real life examples of Loctite structural adhesives in action

What Attendees Will Learn:

• Why adhesives are 2x stronger than most mechanical fastening methods
• Why adhesives offer a cost advantage vs. traditional methods
• How converters can play an important role in helping design engineers take advantage of structural adhesives for products and applications

We will thoroughly explore the differences between pneumatic and electric actuators and outline the decision process for successful, efficient, and cost effective deployment. Pneumatics’ performance characteristics, costs and best case application scenarios will be compared to those of electrics. Case studies where pneumatics are preferred to electrics and where electrics are preferred to pneumatics will be analyzed, compared and contrasted. Finally, a pneumatic-electric cost comparison software tool will be presented, an example will be presented using the tool, and the tool will be made available to all attendees.

If the mass production of Ford and GM ushered in the first generation of auto manufacturing, and the lean Toyota Production System ushered in the second, Local Motors is advancing the third with mass customization and micro factories (local manufacturing cells).

In this webcast, you’ll learn how Local Motors:

...· Engages a community of designers, manufacturers, and enthusiasts to build a shared vision for a new automobile

· Uses cutting-edge 3D scanners and reverse engineering software to bring designs to life faster, and more efficiently

· Quickly scans off-the-shelf components; creates CAD models for fit checks and virtual assembly; and captures the sweeping forms of the conceptual clay models from which the production tooling is made

Don’t miss this inside look into automotive mass customization, and the design tools that make it all possible.
