Our Center at 776 Page Street

A healthy garden has the same requirements as a healthy body and psyche. Whether it is a garden or a person, the same things are needed: Nutrients, water, air, light and space. When I first contemplated the Center it was surrounded by asphalt and I knew that wasn't the healing environment I had envisioned for my practice. I immediately began the process of replacing the asphalt with a beautiful, healing garden.

Careful attention to the garden in the Spring determines the health of the plants for the summer months. To ensure healthy plants, a huge truckload of organic soil is brought in and spread throughout the garden. Next, we fertilized the plants with nutrients and special microbes to ensure the health of the soil. Just as soil is the backbone of a healthy garden, so is nutrition for us.

Bacchus Press - Fully Green Enterprise

Bacchus Press - Fully Green Enterprise

In today’s setting of environmentally conscious business, industries that have proven detrimental to the environment are being intensely scrutinized and restructured in order to lessen their carbon footprints and negative influence on the earth’s vital natural resources. The practices that have historically been associated with printing place it alongside these environmentally damaging industries because of the consumption of fossil fuels required by traditional presses and the use of Volatile Organic Compounds (often referred to as VOC’s). However, over the past twenty years new options have emerged for the environmentally conscious printing press to eliminate the use of VOC’s and reduce or replace fossil fuels.

How a business can incorporate these new practices in the interest of the Green movement while still offering competitive prices and quality customer service is a story worth telling considering the example it could provide for other presses still currently engaging in detrimental printing techniques. In the Spring 2009 issue of Bay Area Green Business, the story of how Bacchus Press the Award Winning Printing reformatted their business to be a fully Green enterprise displays that such lofty ideals are a tangible reality for printing presses of the twenty-first century.

In his interview with Green Business Quarterly, Bay Area Digital Printer the Bacchus Press CEO and President Mansoor Assadi states that, “Environmental responsibility was always an issue for Bacchus, years before we even knew had bad things had gotten”. Back in 1980, Assadi purchased a failing printing press, immediately renamed it and began to update its processes, installing new presses and throwing away outdated equipment. It was clear to Assadi even before the present day environmental crisis that the next logical step for Bacchus Press was to make the press as environmentally friendly as possible. With this in mind, Bacchus began using Soy Based Ink and Vegetable based inks that incorporated little or no VOC’s and attained certifications with the Forest Stewardship Council to ensure the paper they utilized adhered to the strictest standards of sustainability. With these updates and an almost fanatical approach to recycling all possible materials, Bacchus Press found themselves to be a fully Green business.

Some years later, Bacchus found that they already met all of the prerequisites of the Bay Area Green Business Council, and thus quickly garnered another certification endorsing their commitment to the environment. Even though Bacchus Press is already regarded as one of the most sustainable printing presses in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mansoor Assadi and his employees continue to struggle for higher standards, as is displayed by their recent induction to the Carbon Fund Partnership which offsets the monthly utility bills of their office with wind, water and solar power. Clearly, Bacchus Press intends to continue their commitment to Green sustainability on into the coming years while still maintaining a quality work ethic and valuing customer satisfaction above all else.

The “Cost Effective” Name in Airflow Control

Factory service personnel are available for system start-up, commissioning, operator training, and emergency service. These services are designed to meet our customer’s needs in a prompt and effective manner.

Paragon Controls Incorporated (PCI) welcomes the opportunity to provide support in the selection, application, and integration of our product line to meet specified performance objectives. Competitive pricing, ease of installation, and simplified maintenance requirements makes.  PCIs   product line an obvious choice for both new construction and retrofit projects.

Factory service personnel are available for system start-up, commissioning, operator training, and emergency service. These services are designed to meet our customer’s needs in a prompt and effective manner.

PCI has designed and manufactured airflow and pressure measurement systems to meet the needs of all commercial and most industrial applications since 1984. PCI airflow and pressure measurement systems are installed worldwide as part of systems requiring continuous signals for HVAC or industrial automatic control, alarming, and process indication. The accuracy of PCI' s airflow and pressure measurement systems has been independently qualified in accordance with Figure 7 in the testing procedure of American National Standards Institute/Air Movement and Control Association (ANSI/AMCA) Standard 210-85. 

However, it is more important to note that the stated accuracy of all PCI devices is constantly being field-validated by independent test and balance firms; their balance reports document conformance to specifications and confirm the superior operating performance of PCI commissioned systems.

The airflow and pressure measurement systems are comprised of primary sensing elements and a transducer or indicating meter. The primary sensing elements provide output signals readily convertible to air velocity, air volume, and differential pressures by the transducer or indicating meter. PCI 's differential pressure transducers (DPT Series) and flow transducers (FT Series) are "stand-alone" components which can be mounted into a control panel enclosure for an entire system or major subsystem. The DPT Series transducers measure and convert pneumatic input differential pressure signals to an electronic analog output signal linear to differential pressure.

 The FT Series transducers are similar to the DPT Series except that both total and static pressure inputs are required. The measured difference between the total and static pressure is the velocity pressure. By performing square root extraction and scaling to the velocity pressure signal, the resulting output signal is linear to velocity (fpm) or volume (cfm). The output is an electronic analog signal that can be used by a controller, indicator or data logger. Unique features include:

DST Controls’ Alternative Energy Initiative

Since DST’s founding in 1975 as a controls systems integration company, Energy Conservation and CleanTech have gone from fringe-interest to mainstream-urgency. Gas guzzling two-ton muscle cars of the 1960’s and ‘70’s have given way to composite-bodied hybrids, tipping in at barely more than a half ton; children now regularly chide their parents for leaving the lights on in empty rooms; and more and more "normal" people are now even unplugging their appliances at night to eliminate LED status indicator "vampire drain."

 

Yet despite the lack of green-demand "back in the day," DST was even then regularly involved in assisting its customers in cutting energy costs and protecting the environment. On the "facilities side," such projects included monitoring lighting systems, monitoring load-shedding, resource-efficient effluent neutralization; and early forms of HVAC optimization. On the process side, one of our earliest energy-focused projects involved using PLCs (a new product at the time!) in a chocolate manufacturing plant. This, to operate tank agitators only when the thickening chocolate threatened to solidify—instead of running full time as before, using 3X the energy actually needed.

Fast forward to 2010 and DST’s "energy offers" now also include...

• UL and CE-compliant "standard" & "smart" combiner box, and re-combiner box, design and/or manufacturing for the solar industry
• Plant infrastructure, process, and equipment monitoring for energy management systems (EMS) and conditions-based-maintenance (CBM)
• Control and Monitoring product design, engineering, and manufacturing

All Industrial Supply – Overview and Specialized Products

We are located right off of hwy 101 and have plenty of parking for our customers. Please feel free to give us a call or just stop by to see what we have to offer. You will be impressed with not only our service but our tremendous inventory.

Our staff has over 100 years of experience in the Electrical Distribution and Automation Industry. We carry a full line of electrical products including all fittings, wire, circuit breakers of all brands, safety switches through 1200 amps, fuses, contactors and starters, lamps, and the list goes on.

In All industrial supply, a switch is an electrical component that can break an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another. The most familiar form of switch is a manually operated electromechanical device with one or more sets of electrical contacts. Each set of contacts can be in one of two states: either ‘closed’ meaning the contacts are touching and electricity can flow between them, or ‘open’, meaning the contacts are separated and no conducting.

A switch may be directly manipulated by a human as a control signal to a system, such as a computer keyboard button, or to control power flow in a circuit, such as a light switch. Automatically-operated switches can be used to control the motions of machines, for example, to indicate that a garage door has reached its full open position or that a machine tool is in a position to accept another work piece. Switches may be operated by process variables such as pressure, temperature, flow, current, voltage, and force, acting as sensors in a process and used to automatically control a system. For example, a thermostat is a temperature-operated switch used to control a heating process. A switch that is operated by another electrical circuit is called a relay. Large switches may be remotely operated by a motor drive mechanism. Some switches are used to isolate electric power from a system, providing a visible point of isolation that can be pad-locked if necessary to prevent accidental operation of a machine during maintenance, or to prevent electric shock.

Electronics engineering, an ideal switch describes a switch that:

• has no current limit during its ON state
• has infinite resistance during its OFF state
• has no voltage drop across the switch during its ON state
• has no voltage limit during its OFF state
• has zero rise time and fall time during state changes
• switches only once without “bouncing” between on and off positions

Practical switches have loss and limitations. The ideal switch is often used in circuit analysis as it greatly simplifies the system of equations to be solved, however this can lead to a less accurate solution.

A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching a power circuit, similar to relay except with higher current ratings. A contactor is controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit. Contactors come in many forms with varying capacities and features. Unlike a circuit breaker, a contractor is not intended to interrupt a short circuit current.

Contactors range from those having a breaking current of several amps and 24 V DC to thousands of amps and many kilovolts. The physical size of contactors ranges from a device small enough to pick up with one hand, to large devices approximately a meter (yard) on a side.
