AC lines segment will hold the largest share of the Fluid Transfer System Market

Increase in superior cabin experience has propelled to ever-increasing the growth of the AC lines market. Today, almost all the vehicles that are manufactured are equipped with an air conditioning system. Thus, there is tough competition between automakers to provide enhanced comfort. This competition has increased pressure on OEMs to deliver technologically advanced automotive air conditioning systems. Also, the increasing popularity of premium vehicles, has driven the adoption of rear AC system. Thus, the increasing demand for rear air conditioning has also driven the growth of AC lines and is expected to grow further in coming years.

PC is the fastest-growing segment for fluid transfer system as it is witnessing increasing usage of SCR and DPF

The passenger car segment is estimated to hold the largest market share of the Fluid Transfer System Market during the forecast period. In addition, the implementation of Euro 6 and EPA Tier 3 norms for passenger cars demands a 100% DPF deployment. Alternatively, the demand for SCR has increased in developed countries to comply with existing emission standards for NOx gases.
Also, the growing demand for cars equipped with TGDI is expected to significantly drive the sales of passenger car turbo coolant lines. Thus, with upcoming regulations like China 6 a and 6b and India’s BS-VI, the markets for turbochargers, DPF, and SCR are expected to grow at a prominent rate in the coming years and boost the market for fluid transfer systems in passenger cars.

At Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa in Lake Placid, safety is the new luxury as iconic resort adds muscle and might with additional health and safety protocols

LAKE PLACID, N.Y., Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — After a three-month voluntary closure in the spring to mitigate the COVID-19 spread, the AAA Four Diamond Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa in Lake Placid reopened on June 26 with a cadre of new…

LAKE PLACID, N.Y., Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — After a three-month voluntary closure in the spring to mitigate the COVID-19 spread, the AAA Four Diamond Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa in Lake Placid reopened on June 26 with a cadre of new protocols to ensure the health and safety of its staff and guests.

The property in Upstate New York, always known for its attention to cleanliness, spent $400,000 initially to emphasize its current mantra: Safety is the New Luxury. The resort led the way within the local lodging industry by integrating hospital-grade Ultraviolet C (UV-C) light disinfection and cleaning equipment, along with state-of-the-art electrostatic sprayers into their already extensive cleaning protocols.

Going a step further, the Inn also launched a new app allowing for remote check-in and check-out capabilities, upgraded their door locks to RFID technology allowing for keyless entry via smart phone, installed touchless hand sanitizers around the property and at all points of entry, redesigned and renovated its upscale restaurant, «The View», to enhance social distancing, expanded outdoor seating capacities around the hotel and restaurants, added thermal imaging cameras so that all staff are screened prior to the start of their shift along with all patrons in the restaurant and Spa. The end result was a safe and healthy summer and fall season.

«We are fortunate here that we are enjoying strong business, and doing it while keeping our guests and staff safe and healthy,» remarked Mirror Lake Inn owner Ed Weibrecht. «One of the reasons is that people perceive the Adirondacks as a safe place to visit, and in that, people are perceiving that the Mirror Lake Inn is the safest place they can go to.

«We have incredible protocols in place which I would say are second to none, and we can come as close as possible to guaranteeing a safe environment for our staff and our guests. The reason we’ve put all these protocols in is that we don’t want our staff to be at risk and we don’t want our guests to be at risk.»

Weibrecht and his employees, who proudly claim the AAA Four Diamond Award of Excellence for the past 36 consecutive years and offer an authentic Adirondack experience, have never been ones to settle for a level of excellence when there’s a higher reach available. In recent months, Weibrecht says an additional $100,000 has been spent to help staff and guests be as safe as practically possible.

The total of all these efforts has led to the Inn’s recent acceptance of the GBAC Star. The accreditation is presented by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council, recognized as the cleaning industry’s only outbreak prevention, response and recovery accreditation for facilities. It is the gold standard of prepared facilities, and means that a site has:

  • Established and maintained a cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention program to minimize risks associated with infectious agents like the novel coronavirus.
  • The proper cleaning protocols, disinfection techniques, and work practices in place to combat biohazards and infectious disease.
  • Highly informed cleaning professionals who are trained for outbreak and infectious disease preparation and response.

WHITEFACE MOUNTAIN GONDOLA CABINS ARRIVE AT THE COTTAGE CAFE

Some of that additional expenditure was used very creatively. When Whiteface Mountain replaced its gondola cabins this fall with a brand-new fleet, the Olympic Mountain announced that the originals would be available for sale. That’s all the Mirror Lake Inn had to hear as it recently purchased two such units and placed them at its hip Cottage Café.

The lakeside pub offers indoor and outdoor dining in the warmer seasons, but with these heated cabins now in play, diners will enjoy a very unique experience in a socially distanced manner on the deck of the establishment.

The concept has opened to rave reviews – the cabins are perfect for families and parties of up to eight guests who can remove their jackets in 72-degree indoor comfort. Complete cleaning and sanitizing processes follow each use of the Whiteface/Cottage Café gondola cars.

On the opposite side of The Cottage, a new heated tent offers guests comfortable outdoor dining with full views of Mirror Lake and the Adirondack High Peaks.

CLEAN AIR IS A MUST AT THE MIRROR LAKE INN

While the Mirror Lake Inn staff continues to be vigilant about surfaces and common areas like the library and the lobby, the lion’s share of recent infrastructure investment has focused on the disinfection and sanitization of the property’s air.

«While we acknowledge the continued importance of disinfecting touch points and surfaces, my team and I have let the science guide us and the science says air is the primary vector for virus transmission,» continued Weibrecht. «Where the science goes, we follow and make the necessary investments. At the end of the day, it is our responsibility to keep our guests and staff safe and we take this responsibility very seriously.»

Recognizing UV-C technology is the gold standard in air sanitization, ownership recently procured Haiku UV-C ceiling fans and HoMedics standing air sanitizing units which employ UV-C, ionization and HEPA filtration technologies.

Haiku ceiling fans are billed as the world’s first smart fan with built-in automatic adjustments, while HoMedics is a known innovator in health and wellness technology. These latest additions supplement the UV-C filters installed in all air circulation systems (HVAC) prior to reopening on June 26, 2020.

The Inn’s owner then detailed how the process actually happens.

«The new ceiling fans have been installed in the living room, library, lobby, conference center and View Lounge. These units are designed to pull the air through the room and over the top of the fan. As that occurs, the virus is killed by the UV-C light integrated into the fan’s design. These fans have also been installed in The Cottage Cafe, in addition to the implementation of UV-C filters in the air handling systems. Finally, UV-C lights have been added to the top of the beams in The Cottage’s vaulted ceiling so that as air moves throughout the entire building, it is constantly being sanitized.»

Similar attention has been given to the Four Diamond The View Restaurant.

«In addition to constantly sanitizing The View through the UV-C filters in our ventilation system, we use industrial grade UV-C devices to additionally clean the air in our dining room on a daily basis.»

Of course, the Adirondacks that surround the Inn provide some of the cleanest and purest air on our planet. Management wholeheartedly endorses this natural environment and urges guests to partake in our Great Outdoors. Ski, skate, hike, snow shoe, walking, running – whatever your preference, you’ll feel much better at the end of the day.

To make that more enticing, the hotel has introduced a new outdoor skating rink on the Inn’s tennis court. This new rink will complement the skating and hockey surfaces that the Inn creates on Mirror Lake once temperatures allow. You can then warm up outside at one of four fire pits recently procured.

If chess is your game, guests can play the Inn’s oversized version outside on the snow-covered lawn of the Mountain View building.

MLI HELPS YOU AVOID CROWDED SKI AND RENTAL SHOPS

Skiers will be happy to know that the Mirror Lake Inn is the only lodging property in Lake Placid with its own ski shop. It comes with personalized service from brothers Andrew and Ethan Weibrecht, sons of Ed. Andrew won Olympic silver and bronze medals in super G, and is a member of the U.S. Skiing Hall of Fame and Museum. His younger brother, Ethan, is a former NCAA Division I collegiate skier and Freeride World Qualifier Tour Member.

Leave your gear at home and leave your equipment needs in their capable hands. With a fleet of performance adult skis, boots, poles and helmets including top of the line premium skis from the Head Ski’s 2021 line, they’ll hook up guests with a world-class fit to best match each skier’s abilities. However, if you wish to bring your own equipment from home, Andrew and Ethan offer complete ski preparation to get you carving and arcing down Whiteface Mountain.

In addition to the convenience factor and expert advice available from the brothers, the Inn’s ski concierge services give guests the peace of mind of knowing they can avoid potentially congested commercial ski shops and rental areas.

OWNER’S ADDRESS TO STAFF OFFERS WISE WORDS FOR EVERYONE

In a video address to hotel workers, Ed Weibrecht beseeched his employees to be vigilant in combatting COVID-19 when away from the Mirror Lake Inn, encouraging them to take control of the situation and help themselves. Yet, his words are a good reminder for everyone.

«We’re doing just about everything humanly possible to try and guarantee the safety of the staff and of our guests. But there’s more than just that. We need employees to participate. I feel we are probably protecting the staff better than anybody in the country while they’re at work, but we can’t guarantee protection when employees are not here. That’s where the staff have to be diligent and smart. If an employee picks up the virus, they can bring it home to their parents, siblings, grandparents, friends and neighbors. That’s irresponsible. That’s how it spreads. That’s why it gets out of control. We all need to do our part. When coming in contact with other people, wear a mask, use hand sanitizer, practice social distancing, and wash your hands frequently. It’s best to avoid congregations of large numbers of people. Don’t go to a party. No one’s immune from this. Everyone has to take charge of this themselves.»

COMMENTS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2020 was a year marked to a large extent by COVID-19 and its impact on people, society and the market. Health and safety have always been a top priority and SCA has taken a number of measures to protect risk groups, reduce the spread of the virus and to ensure that production, sales and distribution have been maintained with continued focus on pursuing profitable growth.

During the year, SCA decided to discontinue the publication paper operations consisting of three paper machines at the Ortviken industrial site. These will be shut down sequentially during the first quarter of 2021 and when the closure is completed, SCA will only have operations in expanding product categories with healthy future prospects. SCA has also decided to invest SEK 1.45bn in an annual production of 300,000 tonnes of CTMP (chemically pre-treated thermomechanical pulp) at the Ortviken industrial site, where part of the existing infrastructure will be used. The kraftliner expansion project at Obbola is progressing on plan and on budget.

Following a period with a weaker market, falling prices and rising inventory levels during the first half of 2020, the market has gradually improved for all product categories except publication paper, which continued to weaken. SCA’s focus has been to decrease working capital in an uncertain environment. This has resulted in a strong operating cash flow in the third and fourth quarters of 2020 which has contributed to a reduced net debt at the end of the year.

Based on the forest survey conducted in 2019, a new harvesting plan has been made during the year which shows that SCA can gradually increase planned annual harvesting from the previous level of 4.3 million m3fo to 5.4 million m3fo in 2025, an increase of 25%. During the year, SCA continued to acquire forest in the Baltic states.

The year and the fourth quarter were impacted by material one-off items related to the discontinuation of publication paper operations. Adjusted earnings in the fourth quarter improved compared with the preceding quarter and the year-earlier quarter. A higher share of harvesting from SCA-owned forest and higher earnings from the revaluation of biological assets due to the new forest survey and harvesting plan had a positive impact on earnings.

The supply of wood to SCA’s industries was stable during the quarter. The price of sawlogs remained stable while the price of pulpwood fell slightly.

The market for solid-wood products remained strong during the quarter, driven by high demand in the building materials trade in the US, Scandinavia, UK and the rest of Northern Europe. Market prices increased compared with the preceding period.

Delivery volumes in the Pulp segment increased compared with the preceding quarter. A planned maintenance stop took place during the quarter. Following the restart, production has been stable and at planned level.

The average selling price for kraftliner was lower than in the preceding quarter. Demand increased during the fourth quarter and inventory levels decreased. In connection with the discontinuation of publication paper operations, focus in this product area has been to bring forward publication paper production ahead of the closure and to minimize costs.

Higher transaction prices for forest assets in northern Sweden
SCA bases its valuation of forest assets in Sweden on forest transactions in the areas where SCA owns forest. The market value of the forest has increased during 2020. The average market price used in the valuation of SCA’s forest assets was SEK 291/m3fo at December 31, 2020, corresponding to a carrying amount of SEK 74.9bn.

OSAKA, Japan, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Toyobo Film Solutions Ltd. (TFS) has developed a sealant based on its TeonexTM for fuel cells* to be equipped in fuel cell vehicles (FCV), and the product was adopted in the latest model of the Mirai eco-car, which Toyota Motor Corporation began selling on December 9, 2020.

TeonexTM is a high-durability and heat-resistant polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film, for which TFS has virtually the entire global market share. The product is increasingly being adopted for vehicle parts. The new sealant is made by coating a unique adhesive to TeonexTM, along with precision processing. The product can provide various functions, such as the protection of power generation surfaces of fuel cells, insulation and shape retention for gas intake and exhaust components, in addition to joining components to make fuel cells.

Toyota has evaluated the new sealant for realizing high durability in demanding environments, a key factor contributing to the long-term integrity of the fuel cells, and decided to use the sealant for the new Mirai model. Moreover, thanks to the newly developed adhesive and other factors, the new sealant makes it possible to join components at higher speeds, resulting in a drastically shorter per-cell production time.

TFS will contribute to the realization of a healthy and sustainable society through provision of the sealant for the Mirai model, which is expected to be widely used as the ultimate eco-friendly vehicle, powered by hydrogen and emitting only water while in operation.

*Fuel cell: Minimum unit of a fuel cell system. Hundreds of cells are stacked to make a fuel cell system, which is a power generation device for FCVs.

Regarding PEN film TeonexTM

This is a highly durable and heat-resistant film with excellent mechanical strength, electrical insulation properties and cost effectiveness, which can be used in the same ways as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. It is expected to meet new demands of the market.

The Future of Home Buying Arrives in San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — House X today announced San Antonio, Texas as one of the pilot cities to launch the American Dream 2021, expanding home ownership; featuring over 40,000 new, healthier, energy-efficient homes across the country valued at over <span…

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — House X today announced San Antonio, Texas as one of the pilot cities to launch the American Dream 2021, expanding home ownership; featuring over 40,000 new, healthier, energy-efficient homes across the country valued at over $18 Billion with up to $364 million in stimulus by providing home buyers free renewable energy and a discounted mortgage.

The virtual home buying event is limited to selected markets in the United States — admission is free to consumers. Free stimulus incentives apply to all contracts executed from Jan. 27-April 15, 2021, for registered home buyers.

The San Antonio Pilot includes:

  • Over 4,924 new homes in over 322 communities with 1,077 homes ready for quick move-in
  • Renewable electricity at zero cost to registered home buyers
  • 1% discounted mortgage for the first 12 months, followed by either 14 or 29 years of fixed-rate record-low mortgage rate on FDA conforming loans
  • Local Impact:
    • Potential reduction in carbon emissions — equivalent of removing 10,832 gas-powered cars off the road per year
    • Potential free stimulus for renewable energy = $29.54 million going back into the local economy

WHY: The purpose of the event is to expand home ownership by educating consumers on the advantages of smart, healthier, sustainable homes that are more efficient, lower carbon footprint and less expensive to own, operate, protect and maintain — lowering total cost of ownership. The home is more important than ever since the onset of the pandemic and the trend was a highlight at CES with smart home technology with a focus on hygiene, cleanliness, energy-efficiency and sustainability.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is finding more and more evidence that the pandemic is changing America’s home buying plans. Rose Quint writes in NAHB’s Eye on Housing Blog that the percentage of those households considering purchasing a home within the next year took the largest jump in the history of the association’s Housing Trends Report. 

The new administration is also launching efforts to expand home ownership and offset costs through a proposed tax incentive. The proposal states its purpose to:

«Help families buy their first homes and build wealth by creating a new refundable, advanceable tax credit of up to $15,000. Biden’s new First Down Payment Tax Credit will help families offset the costs of homebuying and help millions of families lay down roots for the first time. Building off of a temporary tax credit expanded as part of the Recovery Act, this tax credit will be permanent and advanceable, meaning that homebuyers receive the tax credit when they make the purchase instead of waiting to receive the assistance when they file taxes the following year.»

HOW:

  • The Smart Mortgage™: House X has partnered with a leading mortgage lender to create a special below-market mortgage; a one percent discounted mortgage for the first 12 months of a 15- or 30-year fixed rate conforming mortgage.
  • The Healthier Home: In collaboration with Delos, every home buyer will receive a multi-room advanced air purification system for their new home upon move-in, helping reduce particles that carry airborne bacteria, viruses and allergens.
  • The Location Report™: Nothing will impact the financial picture of a home as much as its location. With custom insights available nowhere else, the House X Location Report reveals 300+ insights about any address in America. It is free to registered home shoppers.
  • The RESNET Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance. Similar to a MPG sticker for cars, except for new homes.

WHEN: American Dream 2021 Pilot Program will include free stimulus incentives on fully executed purchase contracts between Jan. 27-April 15, 2021.

WHERE: American Dream 2021 is limited to home purchases in selected pilot cities available on HouseX.com.
