To those of you interested in how Scitex of today (errrr... Kodak, Israel) looks like, here is a picture of the main space. Zohar reports that there is no real manufacturing at Kodak, Israel- all the work is done by overseas subcontractors.
The picture (summer 2011) was sent by Zohar. In the picture: Dudu Shamir, Zohar Elovitz and in the back we can recognize Shosh Komemi. |

volume measurement innovator APM (APM Automation Solutions Ltd.) - home to several Scitex veterans APM’s
patented level and volume measurement technology is being applied to a broad
spectrum of industries – food and beverages, power, plastics, chemicals,
aggregates and cement, metals – where effective production management, process

company introduced its flagship product, the 3DLevelScanner™,
in 2007. This milestone represented a new approach to accurately measuring the
volume of bulk solid materials stored inside silos, open bins and large
warehouses while providing 3D mapping of the surface of the contents. APM’s
offerings include inventory-savings solutions for a range of industrial
applications across multiple sites that meet the needs of corporate as well
production managers. APM products are sold and supported by a network of

 The ExScite Yossi Rahima is APM Automation's CFO. Prior to APM he was the CFO of Zend Technologies, Xmpie , M.C.M. Environmental Technologies, and Ornet. Consultant to Clal Industries, Indigo, Aurec Group, Strauss Elite Group, NeuroVision and Light Instruments Ltd. During Yossi's 5 years at Scitex, he was the head of Business Planning & Reporting group. APM Chairman of the board is our own ExScite- Uzi Ish-Hurwitz. The Tel Aviv based APM Solutions http://apm-solutions.com/ is a manufacturer and expert in level and volume measurement instrumentation. Its flagship product, the 3DLevelScanner, represents a new family of devices that takes the guesswork out of measuring the level, volume and mass of materials stored inside a silo or open bin. The 3DLevel Scanner employs an array of three antennas to transmit low frequency pulses and to receive echoes of the pulses from the contents of the silo, bin or other container. Using three antennas the unit measures not only the time/distance of each echo but also its direction. The device's Digital Signal Processor samples and analyzes the received signals to provide very accurate measurements of the level, volume and mass of the stored contents and generates a 3D representation of actual allocation of product within the container for display on remote computer screens |

Deep Breeze- an Israeli company's innovative medical device could radically change that scenario. Once approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the trademarked Breeze@home, will allow COPD and other chronic lung disease patients to stay out of the hospital while receiving continuous remote monitoring by their healthcare provider from home. "This will not only make life more bearable for them, but will also save the healthcare system a lot of money," points out the ExScite Dr. Michael Nagler, CEO of Deep Breeze, a medical device company headquartered in Or-Akiva, Israel, with offices in the United States. "We created an immensely simple interface so that the patient can activate transmission by touching just one button," he explains. "The interface works with voice, text and video so the physician at a remote location can receive measurements and also video conference with the patient to get the full picture."
In the picture- you can see our own ExScite Haim Melman VP R&D, testing their new monitoring device. To read more click here . |

 Our friend Guy Alon is in the midst of an heroic, prolonged battle with cancer. He is in search of stem cell donors. From his blog: "As we speak, I write to you from the hospital in Boston, where I undergo
the first roud of 5 days strong 24 h/day chemo to bring the disease
under control and allow the stem cell transplant. It will take 2 or more
cycles like this: 1 week of chemo, 3 weeks off and so forth. So far so
good. I manage to eat and not lose weight which is the key. In the
pictures you can see me hanging on the door a nice collage that Inbal
made for me and in another working while getting the chemo. Last night
my good friends came here for our weekly Bridge game." You can find his blog here: http://guyalon.blogspot.com/
