Liability is always of interest to customers, especially in the U.S. and if Kongsberg Mesotech’s sonar technology can help reduce the liability risk by telling you exactly what’s underneath the water at your port or pier, port managers are interested. The editor of Inland Port magazine was very interested in having us write an objective article on how sonar can be used to help manage the issue of risk. Inland Port Sonar and Risk May June 2010
Kongsberg sonar in Seaports magazine – Summer 2010
Seaports magazine is the official magazine of the American Association of Port Authorities. Kongsberg Mesotech’s sonar is perfectly suited for surveying ports, bridges, dams, piers, and seawalls, etc. to provide acoustical “images” of the underwater situation. These can be used by port authorities to develop maintenance plans and also pursue funding for an expansion of the port facilities. In this podium article on behalf of Kongsberg in Seaports, Steve Campbell wrote on how sonar can help ports manage their aging infrastructure and make their maintenance budgets more productive.

Copper Mountain Mining (TSX:CUM)
In a recent publicity campaign for Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (TSX:CUM), a pitch to leading newspapers led to significant coverage, as well as an interview on the Business News Network (BNN).
The Globe & Mail included Copper Mountain in a story on B.C.’s economic future, the Vancouver Sun used the mine as the first example in a story on B.C.’s mining future and Business in Vancouver’s 100 Mile Investor had an article on the mine. BNN also interviewed CEO Jim O’Rourke. Global BC’s News Hour with Tony Parsons profiled the company as a leading part of a lengthy feature on BC’s resurgent mining industry. Copper Mountain clearly had a great story: our work involved leveraging that story into media coverage.
Burcon’s Clarisoy profiled in Food & Beverage Asia magazine
Food and beverage ingredients magazines and websites worldwide are intrigued with Burcon NutraScience’s innovative Clarisoy soy protein isolate. With no beany taste and the ability to be mixed into a clear drink but still leave the beverage transparent, food ingredients companies continue to approach Burcon to trial the soy in their products. Food & Beverage Asia magazine (7,000 circulation) published the Clarisoy article written by Burcon food scientist Kevin Segall in its August/September 2009 issue (Food and Beverage Asia, August/September 2009).
Burcon NutraScience: Article in Food Engineering & Ingredients, April/May 2009
Burcon NutraScience (www.burcon.ca) wanted to actively promote Clarisoy, its pre-commercial soy protein isolate, to food and beverage product designers worldwide.
We approached Food Engineering & Ingredients magazine in Europe, a world-leading food ingredients publication, and suggested that one of Burcon’s food scientists author an article for them.
The resulting article was valuable leading-edge information for food scientists (how new soy proteins can now be used in acidic beverages like sports drinks and juices) and invaluable publicity for Burcon with food and beverage product formulators in key end-user markets worldwide.
Quality photography is valuable. Burcon’s five-bottle photo of sports drinks with soy protein in them became the cover photo for the April 2009 issue of Food Product Design magazine in the U.S.
