MenocheckTM, the first over-the-counter, at-home menopause indicator test, is now available nationwide at Rite-Aid, Walgreens, Longs Drugs, and many other grocery and drug stores.

SAFE AND SECURE

Technology Makes Powered Gates Safer

Powered gates not only help keep us secure, they’ve become a lot safer to use. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than two thousand people each year are treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries due to gates that reversed only after they hit an automobile or person. Now, a company in Florida called Invisa has developed a technology that builds an invisible, non-contact safety and security field precisely where it is needed. The sensor, called InvisaShield, moves with the gate and detects a person or car before actually making contact.
