Plymouth launches new power source on the crest of a wave!
A team of European small companies and universities has been working together for the past 2 years to find a new way to harness the power of the waves. The team, which has been co-ordinated by PEP* at the University of Plymouth, has now launched an experimental Wave Energy Device in Plymouth. The device, which is approximately 15ft in diameter and... view more... (2001-03-29)
X-rays For Cars
A new device that X-rays coatings on car body parts will help manufacturers ensure that vehicles are properly protected from corrosion. The machine flashes radiation onto the surface of body panels and measures the fluorescent emissions given off. Gaps or defects are then easily spotted, allowing manufacturers to ensure that protective coatings... view more... (1998-10-26)
Researchers Reveal Extent of Pain felt by Elderly people Parted from Pets on Entering Residential Care
University of Warwick psychology researchers Dr June McNicholas and Dr Glyn Collis have just published a paper on the role of pets in the lives of older people which finds that pets benefit them by companionship, increased levels of activity, and better person-to-person interactions by pets acting as social catalysts. They also found that pets... view more... (1999-11-22)
Dressman - the ironing robot
The main objective of the Dressman robot is to dry and press shirts. On placing a damp shirt on the ironing figure, this dummy inflates with hot air in its interior, and thus puffs the shirt up, removing creases drying the garment (it has to be previously wet and undergone a spin-dry in a washing machine). The device has a heater box inside with... view more... (2004-05-27)
Mixed results comparing use of manual vs. automated chest compression following cardiac arrest

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator generator replacement associated with complications
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) generator replacement in Canadian patients with devices that were recalled was associated with an 8 percent rate of complications, according to a study in the April 26 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-04-26)
Ferns provide model for tiny motors powered by evaporation
Scientists looked to ferns to create a novel energy scavenging device that uses the power of evaporation to move itself - materials that could provide a method for powering micro and nano devices with just water or heat. view more (2006-09-15)
Minimally invasive device shows promise in treating female urinary incontinence
A minimally invasive device for treating recurrent stress urinary incontinence in women has been shown to be safe and effective in early clinical trials and is now under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). view more (2007-05-23)
FDA approves knee-injury device for humans
A new knee-surgery device investigated by University of Missouri-Columbia researchers that will help to repair meniscus tears, which were previously defined as irreparable, has been approved by the FDA for use in humans. view more (2007-10-03)
Titanium dioxide — It slices, it dices ...

German fusion device becomes European research tool
The ASDEX Upgrade research device, operated by Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) in Garching, near Munich, as Germany's largest fusion device, is being opened to use by fusion laboratories from all over Europe. The appointment of Dr. Duarte Borba from Portugal's Instituto Superior Technico in Lisbon as one of five task force heads at... view more... (2002-12-02)
Inhaler devices for the management of asthma and COPD
The latest issue of Effective Health Care focuses on the effectiveness of inhaler devices used to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Inhaled therapy delivering bronchodilator and corticosteroid drugs in various doses is the mainstay of treatment for patients with asthma and COPD. There is a confusing array of inhaler... view more... (2003-01-14)
Photocell Provides Both Heat And Electricity
In 1969, scientists at the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute, St. Petersburg made heterostructured photoelectric cells based on the elements of the third and the fifth group of the periodic table (for example, gallium arsenide). Now the photocells can find application not only in space, but also on Earth. To make them working the sunlight is not... view more... (2001-11-27)
New micro instrument controls medicine flows
Research scientists at the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory in Oslo have developed a flow metre with fluid channels thinner than a strand of hair. The new device controls that patients receive the correct dosage of medicine. view more (2004-11-03)
Radio wand may help detect sponges left in surgery patients
A preliminary study suggests that a handheld wand scanning device that detects surgical sponges tagged with radiofrequency identification chips could help operating room personnel detect sponges that have been inadvertently left inside patients after procedures. view more (2006-07-18)
