Home // Tough Enough to Protect the Power Grid Frequent and devastating attacks on United States' electrical substations provide stark reminders that power supply remains a primary target for criminals focused on harming national security.¹ The call to action is evident: we must continually improve the physical and technological infrastructure protection of our national energy supply.   To meet the FERC requirements, each utility company is required to perform a risk assessment of their systems, identify the most critical assets within the power grid, and then propose and implement a plan to protect them.

Home // Power Tool Manufacturer Reduces Production Overhead A leading North American manufacturer of home power tools sought a new solution for producing the “boot,” or soft protective cover, for several of its power saw product lines. At the same time, adding a softer material could increase damping performance, which can help power tool users avoid health issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis related to constant vibration.
