BURLINGTON, ON--(Marketwired - July 21, 2015) - Astrix Networks Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OEE), operating under the trade name Memex Automation, announces that it has officially changed its name to Memex Inc.
The
name change will be effective for trading purposes on the TSXV
commencing at the opening of trading on July 22, 2015. The common shares
of the company will continue to trade under the operating symbol "OEE"
following the name change. The existing share certificates issued under
the former name of Astrix Networks Inc. will continue to represent
common shares of the company under the new name, Memex Inc., and there
is no need for shareholders to exchange their share certificates.
However, if any shareholder wishes to exchange their share certificates
for new share certificates issued under the new name Memex Inc., they
can do so by contacting the company's transfer agent Computershare Trust
Company of Canada.
"Changing Astrix's name to Memex was
something that we had wanted to do for a while," says David McPhail,
President and CEO of Memex Inc. "Astrix has done business as Memex
Automation for years and we are well known for that. We felt that the
name 'Memex Automation' no longer fit quite right with the direction our
business has been going in so we wanted a fresh start. Sticking with
the Memex theme seemed only natural as most of our customers and
prospects know and refer to us as Memex."
"Brand awareness is
very important. With over 12,000 electronic circuits boards installed in
machines in various customer sites, all with the Memex name on it, we
know the service people see this and they call Memex," said John
Rattray, VP Sales & Marketing. "Our products and names must be
consistent."

an industrial-strength shop floor communications platform that delivers
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics in real-time. MERLIN

Tesla's New "Ludicrous Mode" 0 to 60 in 2.8 Seconds
I read Ashlee Vance's book on Elon Musk, I have visited SpaceX and I test drove a Tesla Model S P85 a few years ago. I am a big Elon Musk fan. This new option of "Ludicrous Mode" 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds is absolutely amazing!
Below is snippet from an article by the Washington Post's Brian Fung:
"You may have heard about Tesla's "insane mode," which accelerates a sedan from 0 to 60 mph in a mindboggling 3.2 seconds. But Tesla is already moving ahead with something even better: A "ludicrous mode" that sends you from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds.
Shaving off half a second may not sound like much. But the $10,000 option on the Model S shows off some of the advances in battery technology that Tesla is building into its newer cars. Under ludicrous speed, said Musk, the car will accelerate at 1.1 times the force of gravity.
"It's faster than falling," said Musk."
After I buy my 2016 Corvette Stingray in a couple of weeks, a fully loaded Tesla might have to replace my Nissan Quest :-)
