SHOT SHOW 2024 : OUTDOOR EDGE RAZOR VX Series “Never Sharpen Your Blade Again.”

20240123_094202

While at Shot Show 2024, I spent some quality time with Outdoor Edge. The company is the leader in replaceable blade knives and a trusted source for quality outdoor knives and tools. They have an edged offering for any occasion; if you’re a hunter or outdoorsman, you’ll find everything you need at Outdoor Edge, and it won’t break the bank. They recently announced the Razor VX EDC folder which has a replaceable blade, but what intrigued me most was their claim that you’ll never need to sharpen your knife again.

Revelyst Outlines Progress on GEAR Up Transformation Plan

Vista Outdoor - Vista Outdoor Announces Name for Outdoor ...

Revelyst Outlines Progress on GEAR Up Transformation Plan

02/02/2024

The leading house of outdoor brands provides an update on the program designed to drive profitability and growth.

ANOKA, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Revelyst, a collective of world-class maker brands that design and manufacture performance gear and precision technologies, today announced an update on its GEAR Up transformation initiative. Revelyst, a segment of Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO), is in the process of separating into a standalone public company, with an expected execution date later this year. As part of this process, Revelyst is working to unlock its potential by directing resources to better meet consumer demand, synergizing and prioritizing strength in supply chain, and doubling down on the equity and innovation of the company’s industry-leading brands.

Revelyst launched GEAR Up in the fiscal third quarter, quickly actioning the plan to simplify the company’s business model, deliver increased efficiency and profitability from that simplified structure, and reinvest in its highest potential brands to accelerate growth and transformation. These actions are in motionand will have an estimated $100 million of realized annual cost savings by fiscal year 2027. This is in addition to the previously announced $50 million cost restructuring program, of which $25 million in savings was specifically related to Revelyst, for a total of $125 million in expected run-rate cost savings.

The company continues to make progress on GEAR Up and is executing against the previously outlined goals. GEAR Up actions announced today include:

Expanding select roles to take on cross-brand scope as the company identifies synergies across each platform.

Bringing together teams at dedicated platform locations to drive the culture necessary to achieve brand goals.

Eliminating duplicative roles as the platforms consolidate.

As part of these measures, the company will close offices in Petaluma, California; Overland Park, Kansas; Eagle, Colorado; and Madison, Mississippi. Revelyst is consolidating teams across core locations, including:

The Adventure Sports platform, led by Jeff McGuane, will consolidate in Irvine, California.

The Outdoor Performance platform, led by Jordan Judd, will consolidate in Bozeman, Montana.

And the Precision Sports and Technology platform, led by Jon Watters and Scott Werbelow, will consolidate in San Diego.

“While our business is stable, headwinds exist, and we need to make changes to grow and meet the financial plans we’ve established and believe in,” said Eric Nyman, CEO of Revelyst. “Our bold and decisive actions to unlock the potential for Revelyst have us on the right path. Previous ways of working need to be challenged and adjusted to position us to where we aspire to be.

“The decisions to close offices and reduce headcount aren’t taken lightly, and though they are intended to position us for the future, we understand that they are difficult in the immediate,” Nyman continued. “I have incredible confidence in our ability to transition through this and gain strength because of it. GEAR Up is an integral component for transforming Revelyst into the world’s No. 1 house of brands.”

The increasing importance of online product searches in a networked world

Mühldorf, 24-02-02

The increasing importance of online product searches in a networked world – ODU Product Finder as an innovative solution

In recent years, the digital transformation has not only affected and changed the B2C market, but also the B2B sector. One of the most notable changes is the increasing importance of online product search engines. Companies are increasingly looking for efficient and time-saving methods to find business partners and suppliers and to evaluate products and services. In this context, online product search is rapidly gaining relevance in the B2B sector, as it not only speeds up searches but also facilitates access to global markets.

As a leading international manufacturer of connectors, ODU recognizes the need to support traditional product search methods while also continuously investing in the further development of the ODU Product Finder, ODU’s online search engine.

Interview with Dominic Krieg, Digital Product Management Expert at ODU

1. What needs does the ODU Product Finder fulfil for your users?

Our Online Product Finder enables users to find the right product in just a few clicks. The processing of the wide range of variants using filter criteria makes the search considerably easier compared to conventional catalogues. Our users can not only call up concise product information, but also configure product variants themselves. The integration of 3D data for download rounds off the offering. The result is a comprehensive, efficient and user-friendly product search process.

2. How has the use of online product portals developed over time, and what trends or changes have you observed?

The use of online product portals has increased significantly over time. Digital search options have been further developed so that they not only enable efficient product searches, but also increasingly focus on personalized user experiences and comprehensive data accessibility. The ongoing trend shows an increased integration of design data, a broader product range and an increased focus on user-friendly, intuitive search functions to meet the growing demands of users.

3. What future developments are you planning for your ODU Product Finder in order to further enhance the users’ experience?

We are planning to continuously expand the availability of product information, extend the cable assembly portfolio and constantly develop the guided search to improve intuitive use. Despite different entry options, the user should be able to find the right product immediately. In this way, we want to maximise user-friendliness and guarantee outstanding product and service quality.

4. What type of users particularly benefit from your ODU Product Finder?

Our ODU Product Finder is aimed at purchasers, design engineers and product managers, among others. The variety of functions offered, such as 3D data for designers and data sheets for purchasers and product managers, enables needs-orientated use. We see the access without login and the user’s freedom to decide which contact information to disclose as additional advantages.

5. How do you integrate user feedback into the further development of your ODU Product Finder, and what role does customer feedback play in improving your digital offering?

Our Product Finder is a dynamic tool that continuously takes into account both internal and external feedback. Customer feedback plays a central role in identifying areas for improvement. We actively encourage users to try out the tool and share their feedback with us. We would be delighted if you could try our Product Finder for yourself at https://odu-connectors.com/find-your-product/

GA-ASI Demonstrates Release of A2LE from MQ-20 Avenger UAS

GA-ASI Demonstrates Release of A2LE from MQ-20 Avenger UAS | General Atomics

GA-ASI DEMONSTRATES RELEASE OF A2LE FROM MQ-20 AVENGER® UAS

SAN DIEGO – 01 February 2024 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) successfully demonstrated an inflight release of its Advanced Air-Launched Effects (A2LE) platform, releasing an A2LE from the internal weapons bay of a GA-ASI MQ-20 Avenger® Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The demonstration took place on Nov. 28, 2023, over Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, capping a manufacturing, structural test, and flight demonstration.

GA-ASI’s design and engineering team partnered with Divergent Technologies, Inc. for the A2LE vehicle design and build, matching GA-ASI’s aircraft design expertise with the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS™) to support rapid, low-cost manufacturing of the demonstration vehicle.

“This demonstration was a crucial first step in demonstrating GA-ASI’s ability to rapidly develop, manufacture, and test a Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS) in a controlled, low-risk approach,” said Mike Atwood, vice president of Advanced Programs at GA-ASI. “A2LE demonstrates the coupling of GA-ASI’s pedigreed aircraft design capabilities with Divergent’s DAPS, paving the way for continued maturation of affordable, modular SUAS platforms that can be tailored to meet warfighter needs at a fraction of the cost and lead time of currently fielded systems.”

The demonstration vehicle airframe was 100 percent additively manufactured and was designed to meet the captive carriage and ejection loads of the jet-powered aircraft with internal weapons bays. The topology-optimized AM structure was validated via proof and pit ejection testing prior to the flight demonstration. The demonstration highlighted the design efficiencies that can be realized when AM is incorporated early in the design process and throughout the vehicle. It was also a key step in validating the AM process and material properties for incorporation in future systems to be employed by both manned and unmanned platforms.

GA-ASI’s A2LE platform builds on its extensive experience in developing SUAS. It provides a low-risk, low-cost, tailorable solution that bring affordable mass to the warfighter, with modular payload provisions to meet the requirements of current and future mission objectives. A network of A2LEs could create a persistent, expansive grid for surveillance, attack, enemy air defense suppression, or communication pathways, supporting and elevating capabilities of current and future manned or unmanned platforms.

MKS Announces Ophir BeamSquared SP204S M2 Beam Propagation Analyzer at Photonics West

MKS Announces Ophir BeamSquared® SP204S M2 Beam Propagation Analyzer, a CMOS-based System that Measures CW and Pulsed Lasers in Less than One Minute

January 30, 2024 – Andover, MA – MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, has announced the Ophir® BeamSquared® SP204S M2 beam propagation analyzer at SPIE’s Photonics West 2024. The BSQ SP204S is a robust, portable device that helps users optimize laser performance automatically and accurately. It measures the propagation characteristics of CW and pulsed lasers with Rayleigh length up to 20 meters in less than one minute. The system uses CMOS camera technology to deliver higher spatial resolution, better sampling accuracy, and improved SNR (signal to noise ratio) than CCD-based cameras. Designed for continuous use applications, from scientific research to laser manufacturing to fabrication and machining, the BSQ SP204S measures wavelengths from 266nm to 10.6µm, including CO2 and terahertz.

“Laser manufacturers and system integrators rely on fast and accurate caustic measurements in order to understand the laser beam’s quality, or focusability,” said Reuven Silverman, General Manager, Ophir Photonics. “The use of CMOS technology in the BeamSquared SP204S beam propagation analyzer brings a new level of performance across all levels of measurement. This includes increased sensitivity, reduced smearing effect, improved performance at all caustic parameters, and higher accuracy in NIR wavelengths. This means users can measure smaller beam sizes more accurately. The system is also ISO 11146 compliant, so users can trust the data.”

Ophir BeamSquared® SP204S M2 Beam Propagation Analyzer, a CMOS-based System that Measures CW and Pulsed Lasers in Less than One Minute

The BeamSquared SP204S M2 system includes the BeamSquared software, an optical train, and a CMOS camera. The software measures beam propagation characteristics on both the X and Y axes, including waist diameters, full angle divergences, waist locations, Rayleigh lengths, M2 or K and BPP factors, astigmatism, and asymmetry. The system displays 2D or 3D beam profiles for visual verification of beam behavior through focus. Functions include a 3D slice display and the ability to add 3D displays to reports. Reports can also incorporate a beam caustic chart, in addition to setup information, laser measurements, and a variety of statistics. An Automation interface via .Net components allows users to build custom applications that incorporate the laser beam analysis and processing power of the BeamSquared system.

All BeamSquared systems can be mounted horizontally or vertically to optimize bench space. Each is equipped with conventional focusing lenses of 400-600mm. Specially calibrated 750mm and 1000mm lenses are optionally available for use with long Rayleigh range lasers (20m) that involve both a long-waist location and small focal spot size.

Availability & Pricing
The Ophir BeamSquared SP204S M2 beam propagation analyzer is available now. OEM prices available on request.

Fisher Pen Company’s® M4B Artemis Bullet Space Pen Burns a Trail on Earth and in Deep Space

Fisher Pen Company’s® M4B Artemis Bullet Space Pen Burns a Trail on Earth and in Deep Space

FSP logo Blue w Red dot no background.png

Boulder City, NV (January 31, 2024) – New for 2024, Fisher Space Pen Co.® introduces the M4B Artemis Bullet Space Pen, engineered to perform flawlessly wherever adventure awaits. The newly developed M4B builds on the popular Artemis series by providing an unparalleled writing instrument with a near-zero failure rate, ensuring hunters, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who operates in challenging conditions can have an outstanding pen when needed.

Since 1968, technology developed by Fisher Space Pen has been approved and used by NASA on every crewed space flight. The pen series’ namesake, the NASA Artemis mission, returns Americans and our colleagues to the moon, where NASA and Space X are working on greater lunar exploration and advancements that will pave a pathway to Mars.

When closed, the M4B Bullet Space Pen fits perfectly in your pocket, purse, wallet, vehicle glove box, organizer, or toolbox. When opened, it is a full-sized, properly balanced writing instrument that provides an ideal feel while writing upside down, at any angle, on almost any surface. Its Cap-O-Matic design utilizes cap activation to extend and retract the point. It has a pressurized, PR-style ink refill cartridge that can write through blood, grease, underwater and even in extreme temperatures (-30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit). The M4B also lasts three times longer than average pens on the market, ensuring outstanding dependability wherever needed – even in the limitless, gravity-free vacuum of space.

Like others in the Artemis line, the M4B’s efficient, single-hand activation makes it the pen of choice for construction crews, law enforcement and other first responders, military, medical professionals and anyone who demands smooth and reliable function. Its non-reflective, matte black, powder-coat finish is aesthetically appealing and durable, withstanding years of hard use. Like NASA’s missions in space, the M4B continues Fisher Pen Company’s commitment to design, performance and technology that leads a path forward here on Earth – and beyond. 

M4B Artemis Space Pen Features:

  • Cap activation.
  • Brass composition.
  • Black matte finish.
  • Fisher PR4 cartridge.
  • Galaxy gift box packaging.
  • Made in the USA of U.S. and global materials.

M4B Artemis Space Pen Specifications:

  • Length: open 5.27 inches/closed 5.13 inches
  • Width: .38 inch
  • Weight: .7 ounces
  • Black ink
  • Medium point

About Fisher Space Pen

Fisher Space Pen Co. is a 75-year-old American manufacturer of ballpoint pens, with the notable distinction of being the only ballpoint pen used on every crewed flight into space since Apollo 7 back in 1968 and most recently with SpaceX, Axiom Space and Blue Origin. While pressurized technology made it possible for NASA’s astronauts to write in space, it also provided writing capabilities in all weather, underwater, over oil and grease and from -30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit. These pens are the perfect tool for trade professionals, first responders, military, rugged outdoor enthusiasts, trekkers, backpackers, industrial manufacturers, underwater divers and anyone who values a pen that doesn’t fail.
