#New technology to help protect wood The project was prompted by new European union (EU) rules aimed at replacing solvent-borne coating systems with waterborne coatings for outdoor wood preservation purposes.

the traditional wood coatings become brittle, faded and fall away, says Durawood project coordinator Elodie Bugnicourt.

Left untreated, the moulds can burrow deep inside the wood, breaking down the vital lignin or cellulose compounds inside the cells,

Unprotected wood is also vulnerable to various fungi. A particular nuisance is the blue-stain fungus,

while compromising the wood's durability. Plasma treatment is a versatile and powerful technique: by producing high frequency electric discharges,

and sawmills-employs some 3. 5 million people and generates an annual turnover in the region of#400 billion.

Bugnicourt says between 50 and 100 million tonnes of wood could use Durawood pre-treatment system every year. urawood could help the timber industry by improving the quality of products

As a low-cost, low energy and high-speed wood pre-treatment, Durawood would allow manufacturers to apply it on-site immediately before other wood coating operations.

or new stock is added that needs chilling. The vending machines and open refrigerated cabinets in supermarkets are also working overtime trying to keep their contents at recommended temperatures to preserve the quality.

Combined, commercial refrigerator/freezers like these are estimated to consume 85 TWH (terawatt hours) of electricity every year.

Five years later, Udalov was working as a researcher at the University of Twente in the field of high-power pulsed electron beams

Among the project's breakthroughs, the X-ray backscatter equipment produces high-intensity beams and is much safer than existing devices,

Udalov spent time at the UK company Ex-Beams Ltd. to learn about IMS technology

The british team members founded Ex-Beams, which is involved in the detection of landmines and explosives.

For instance, you may put soft drink bottles in at one end of the process and produce plastic chairs and tables at the other end.

#SMARTFIRE#Reducing energy consumption in steel mills SMARTFIRE Reducing energy consumption in steel mills The reheating process in steel mills prepares metal stock, such as steel plates for hot rolling by heating them to a target temperature.

The project also saw the build up of residue on the reheated metal stock being reduced significantly."

All that may soon change thanks to a new construction technology known by its acronym Preco-Beam (which stands for Prefabricated Enduring Composite beams based on innovative shear transmission.

By combining steel and concrete in prefabricated composite structures with reinforced concrete slabs, the European union (EU)- funded Preco-Beam project found a way to shave months off construction times

"Project Officer Jonas Hedberg said of Preco-Beam, which ran from 2006 to 2009 and received#838,000 in EU funding.

Already now eight new railway bridges using Preco-Beam have been built in Germany, Austria and Poland."

The Preco-Beam consortium invented a new shape for this composite dowel, which connects steel and concrete:

namely an I-section which can be divided into two steel T-beams by one simple cut."

was rebuilt using Preco-Beam technology, transport only had to be interrupted for a weekend. Composite structures-in which different building materials are combined-gained prominence in Europe because of their high resource efficiency and low maintenance requirement.

the Preco-Beam consortium brought together seven partners from France, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg."

showed that using Preco-Beam in its bridges could have cut expenses by approximately 40 percent.

To that end, the Preco-Beam consortium is already disseminating technical guidelines and design rules via the Internet,

and there are plans to use Preco-Beam for buildings. Meanwhile, European citizens may be more likely to enjoy the benefits of their infrastructure,

and promote in particular the use of lignin a by-product of wood pulp production. BIOCOUP will also help to make a significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 EMISSIONS in the transportation sector through the efficient utilisation of biomass material.

The process begins with the procurement of bio-feedstocks such as wood pulp paper and food from existing industries and the processing of upgraded biomass-derived liquids in existing mineral oil refineries.

which effectively turn the beams into mirrors. When photons-particles of light-strike the beams they cause the beams to vibrate.

so that the light and beams interact strongly with each other#so strongly in fact that the beams impart the quantum fluctuations they experience back on the light.

And as is the case with the noise-canceling technology used for example in some headphones the fluctuations that shake the beams interfere with the fluctuations of the light.

#TAO Chair lets you work out while relaxing in your living room Want the exercise, but can't conjure up the energy to go to the gym?

"The TAO Chair, which we took a look at at CES last week, is designed to provide a dynamic workout for your primary target zones from the comfort of your living room.

TAO-Wellness is developing the TAO Chair as a follow-up to its debut prototype, the TAO Wellshell,

This year's TAO Chair one of the funkiest chairs we've seen in a

The prototype TAO had at CES was hacked just a IKEA chair the production model will look much different

TAO's creative chief officer Viktor Kalvachev, points out that the TAO Chair isn't meant to replace a gym or to jack your muscles up.

The TAO Chair coaches you through exercises with the accompanying mobile app, while a built-in, battery-powered digital display shows the calories burned during your current workout

TAO plans to finalize the TAO Chair this year, and Kalvachev tells us that his team is hoping to keep the price below US$1, 000.

The TAO Chair isn't the only piece of exercise furniture out there, and in fact, it has a rather long line of predecessors that includes the Gymygym exercise chair, the GEWOS armchair and the Active Desk.

Unlike many designs out there, however, the TAO Chair takes the seated workout out of the office and puts it in a more relaxing space.

It also promises to be less conspicuous than other exercise chair designs with their mounted rowers and elastics.

The prototype looks like it could just be an artistic piece of furniture. TAO also launched the production version of the Wellshell at CES 2015,
