From the supplier: The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has revised the ANSI A208.1-1989 standard for particleboards (PB) and the ANSI 208.2-1980 standard for medium density fiberboard (MDF). The new PB standard, ANSI A208.1-1993, aims to reduce the number of products identified in the old standard, gives lower formaldehyde limits for particular grades and uses metric units. On the other hand, the new ANSI A208.2-199X standard for MDF gives specifications for low and high density products, sets formaldehyde emission limits and uses metric units.

From the supplier: One of the costliest and most serious problems in US telecommunications is cellular fraud. The most prevalent technique is cell phone counterfeiting or cloning. The perpetrators use a special scanner to get the electronic serial number and the mobile identification number of a cell phone and clones these into other phones. When the clone is used, the bill is passed on to the cell phone owner. The industry has taken measures to detect and prevent this through access control and caller profile. Access control may be through algorithmic authentication, voice printing or radio-frequency fingerprinting.
