Products/Services Description. The SmartScanner is a hand-held, electronic, scanning device that utilizes an infrared beam to record a customer’s clothing measurement information onto an integrated chip. The salesperson scans the customer in three positions. For optimal results, the scanner should be used in a fitting room with a bare white wall as a backdrop. The scanning process takes only two minutes compared to an industry standard of twenty minutes for hand measurement. IMT assembles the device at its plant in Michigan, relying on two principal vendors for the chip and the infrared system. The company is targeting upscale clothing retailers as the market for its first product. The scan is 100 percent accurate, eliminating measuring errors made by hand, and ensures customer satisfaction with the custom clothing. The company also plans to offer a maintenance agreement on the SmartScanner, which guarantees its operation for as long as the maintenance agreement is in effect.
Products/Services Description. Finally there's a drink that's fun to eat! Move over trendy coffee drinks and make way for the new drink craze that is going on right now, especially in communities with large Asian populations. Over the last year or so, Bubble Tea has moved beyond their roots in the predominately Asian suburbs and gained in popularity across the World. Especially popular with young adults in larger cities; others are now accepting this drink craze. What is Bubble Tea? Bubble Tea is the catch-all name for endless unusual names of this drink such as: tapioca pearl drink, tapioca ball drink, pearl shake, pearl tea, black pearl tea, big pearl, boba tea, boba ice tea, boba nai cha, milk tea, bubble drink, xxxx xxx xxx xxx, momi, momi milk tea, QQ, BBT, PT, and possibly many other names. This drink is far from the plain-looking tea that you are generally familiar with and it is hard to explain to the uninitiated. It is non-alcoholic and non-carbonated. The tea is sweet, though it has less sugar than a typical soft drink. There are a huge variety of flavors to try, depending on the tea house or stand you visit. The drink is usually a mix of tea, milk, sugar, and giant black tapioca balls. The "bubble" refers to the foam created by shaking the freshly brewed tea with ice (the drink must always be shaken and not stirred). For the first-timers, ordering a Bubble Tea can be an event. The tea is likely to be in pastel colors of pink, green or yellow. The unique ingredient of Bubble Tea is the tapioca pearl. About the size of pearls or small marbles, they have a consistency like gummy candy (soft and chewy). Being heavier than the drink they tend to always stay near the bottom of the glass. These drinks are usually served in large see-through plastic containers with an extra-wide straw to sip these jumbo pearls. Just sucking on the translucent straw creates a show, with pearls floating up in succession. Children like to blow the balls out from the straw to shoot at targets or at each other.
