CHICAGO, Feb 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Goldwind Americas, the North American subsidiary of Goldwind Science & Technology («Goldwind»), today announced Goldwind has surpassed one-gigawatt (GW) of total wind turbine capacity with the delivery of more than 400 megawatts of wind turbines in 2020 and early 2021 – marking a new company record for sales and delivery in Canada and the U.S.

The two latest projects totaling more than 400 MW – one located in western Canada and one in Texas – feature Goldwind’s latest evolution of its Permanent Magnet Direct-Drive wind turbines (PMDD), the GW4S. The GW4S wind turbines feature a rated capacity of 4.2 megawatts, 136 and 155-meter rotor diameters, and a hub height of 110-meters. Goldwind’s 4S MW series also includes rated capacities of 4.5 MW and 4.8 MW for Class III and Class II wind sites, respectively.

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — OCHIN applauds the Biden Administration for prioritizing health equity in a national COVID-19 response by ensuring that vaccines are provided to the nation’s federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). This is a crucial step toward ensuring that people of color, who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, are not left behind in the race to achieve mass vaccination.

«Every person should have fair and equitable access to a COVID-19 vaccine through a trusted health care provider,» said Abby Sears, CEO at OCHIN. «Community health centers are a lifeline in underserved communities. They have the tools and have built the trust to vaccinate those who may be harder to reach, but who stand to benefit most.»

OCHIN supports more than 130 health centers, including 40 of largest urban health centers in the country that serve over 2,000 patients over age 65. Providers in the OCHIN network have already distributed more than 52,000 COVID shots according to state guidelines and despite limited vaccine availability. The new vaccine allocations will provide health centers with critical supply and the assurance needed to effectively scale their vaccination efforts by using OCHIN Epic EHR to conduct timely patient outreach as more doses become available.

About OCHIN
OCHIN is a driving force for health equity. A national nonprofit health IT organization with two decades of experience transforming health care delivery, OCHIN provides leading-edge technology, data analytics, research, and support services to more than 500 community health care sites, reaching nearly 6 million patients. We partner, learn, innovate, and advocate to close gaps in health care that are systemic, avoidable, and unjust, so everyone has a fair opportunity to achieve their full health potential.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Livinguard announced today that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the hygiene-technology company’s patented self-disinfecting textile (EPA Reg N. 95700-2). Livinguard’s new textile is effective against Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria to the tune of 100,000 times in 10 minutes, among the highest levels of defense against disease-causing pathogens. With patents, this is a one of a kind technology.

In addition to killing 99.999% of bacteria, Livinguard’s technology continuously disinfects and is safe for humans and the environment. Furthermore, the EPA approval confirms Livinguard’s self-disinfecting technology remains effective on textiles tested after 30 industrial washes, giving it broad application across many industries.

«This EPA certification is confirmation of Livinguard’s patented and break-through invention, creating a new self-disinfecting-textile category, whereby the textile kills bacteria on contact, is washable and reusable,» said Sanjeev Swamy, Livinguard’s Founder and CEO. «Unlocking the limitless possibilities of permanent hygiene and proactively improving the health and safety of the public is at the heart of Livinguard’s mission. We can now have self-disinfecting airplane seats, hospital & hotel linens, sports apparel, medical scrubs, footwear, uniforms and carpeting. Essentially, any business or organization that uses textiles can effectively utilize our self-disinfecting technology.»

Livinguard’s innovation pipeline continues to develop newer generation of self-disinfecting technologies

While the latest breakthrough of the EPA approval marks a crowning achievement for the hygiene-technology company, Livinguard has already incorporated newer antimicrobial technology that it currently incorporates in a line of face masks that can be worn up to 210 times (approximately six months) and a line of gloves that can be worn up to 30 times with no compromise on safety or efficacy.  Worn together, the two provide peace of mind for those seeking protection against airborne viruses and those transmitted on surfaces. 

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have studied the effectiveness of Livinguard’s next-generation self-disinfecting textile against the virus. Freie University (Berlin) laboratory studies concluded Livinguard’s next-generation self-disinfecting textile efficiently inactivated SARS-CoV-2. In addition, studies conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona, Tucson’s Water & Energy Sustainable Technology center determined the textile’s efficacy against Human Coronavirus 229E. The findings from both studies can be found here.

Livinguard is partnering with governments, retailers, transit companies, food packaging businesses and hospitals around the world to leverage products that can utilize Livinguard’s turn-key self-disinfecting technology, helping them to provide peace of mind to their customers, employees and partners.
