Rotary, Zengeler aid vets

NORTHBROOK — Libertyville Rotary Sunrise and Zengeler Cleaners’ 2016 “Coats for Vets” drive collected more than 4,000 coats and hundreds of other articles of clothing for veterans. A total of 4,128 jackets, along with gloves, scarves and other winter apparel, were delivered to the North Chicago VA Hospital on Veterans Day. The donations have a retail value exceeding $400,000. “Support for ‘Coats for Vets’ has grown each year,” said Zengeler Cleaners President Tom Zengeler. “People really care about our veterans.” Zengeler Cleaners’ two Libertyville stores served as drop-off locations for the donations. After the items were collected, the Zengeler staff inspected, repaired as needed, and cleaned every donated item. They also supported the effort by delivering the clothing.

New radiology tools debut

LA FOX — Richardson Healthcare, a Division of Richardson Electronics, will show new enhancements to its industry-leading CFS Calibration Software and Image Systems N-series diagnostic displays at the 2016 Radiology Society of North America annual meeting in Chicago.

New productivity tools such as PinPoint and CursorGenie enhance productivity and improve the viewing experience for the radiologist. PinPoint enables non-distracted focus on user-selected regions of interest and CursorGenie eliminates frustrations and reduces the time spent on cursor movements in multi-monitor environments. Self-calibration features and conformance/compliance tools with enhanced reporting enable administrators to easily show how diagnostic displays are performing properly, and a new portable version of CFS used by a TekLink service team enables compliance testing of any brand of display monitor used for diagnostic imaging.
