The Post-it Brand from 3M Company introduced the Post-it Signature Series, a new collection of premium Post-it Notes, Page Markers and List Pads designed in partnership with 16 artists who have created 21 original collections ranging from classic to contemporary. The Post-it Signature Series combines fashion with function, offering consumers new ways to express themselves and give the gift of style to others. The collection will be unveiled at the National Stationery Show in New York City, May 19-22, 2013. Designers for the Post-it Signature Series range from established artists, illustrators and pattern makers to breakout art students. Each artist has created an exclusive collection that expresses their distinctive design aesthetic, offering a variety of patterns to appeal to every taste and style. Designer Khristian Howell's geometric collections feature patterns with classic shapes and a modern twist of cool blue and green hues, while famed stationery illustrator Bonnie Marcus brings her signature fashion-forward, metropolitan inspired approach to her collection. The line also taps the fresh talent of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Student Morgan Hoff-Golmen incorporates elements from iconic 1950's menswear into her designs, while playful sea creatures and vibrant underwater patterns make up fellow student Madalyn Fusco's aquatic themed collection.

3M Company announced that its shareholders elected Inge G. Thulin as director for a one year term.

A new product family from the 3M Communication Markets Division of 3M Company offers wireless network operators an easy, scalable and flexible method for managing fiber and power cables at the cell site. 3M(TM) Tower Dome Terminals simplify cable management, weatherproof sensitive connections, and enable quick and easy installation, leading to reduced operating costs and improved network reliability. The product family will launch at CTIA 2013, to be held May 20-23 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. 3M(TM) Tower Dome Terminals simplify cable management, weatherproof sensitive connections, and enable quick and easy installation, leading to reduced operating costs and improved network reliability. 3M Tower Dome Terminals offer solutions for fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) cabling configurations commonly used in advanced 3G and LTE/4G networks, including trunked fiber cables, power cables and hybrid cables. The terminals are used at the cell site where fiber and power feeder cables connect to the jumper cables leading to remote radio units (RRUs). The 3M difference is in the design: The plug-and-play External Cable Assembly Module (ECAM) system, exclusive to 3M, enables fast, craft-friendly installation and sealing. The system allows cables to be prepared for installation on the ground at the cell site and/or factory. On the tower, the ECAM plugs containing the cables simply snap into the terminal ports, so the tower hand spends less time in the air performing cumbersome tasks, such as sealing and strain-relieving cable ports. The IP68-rated terminals (with integrated fixed O-ring) provide a highly reliable, weather-tight seal and reduce the chance of installation error, helping to protect network reliability. A tool-less dome latching mechanism allows quick sealing and re-entry for easy changes and maintenance. Designed to enhance performance and signal integrity, the terminals separately manage fiber and power cables and accommodate standard fiber bend radius specifications. The terminal's modular design allows the addition of optional surge protectors or power terminal blocks, enhancing system flexibility. The product family can accommodate up to 12 RRUs. The terminal's small, sturdy mounting bracket and low-profile design help reduce tower loading and further simplify installation.
