Development brings new options

Article Abstract:

Technology in computer peripherals, particularly plotters and printers, is advancing rapidly. Many users do not require all the technical capabilities that some peripherals can offer, therefore value for money is often dependent on after sales service and customer support. Graphics tablets could become indispensable for graphics design and new mouse replacements include force sensitive resistors and a finger mouse touch pad. Other new developments include touch screens and inkjet plotters.

Photos by phone foil false alarms

Article Abstract:

Pixxi Communications has developed an alarm system which uses mobile phones to help responses to emergencies, such as burglaries. The Pixxi Surveillance Alarm System, which comprises a small CCD camera, a base station and a remote mobile unit, is alerted by changes in images which are sent to the mobile phone and allows the user to raise the alarm if required, so reducing the number of false security alarms.

Knowledge is the key to using CAD

Article Abstract:

A number of new key developments will be on show at the Sold Modelling 2000 exhibition to be held in Birmingham in March. Delegates will be warned about optimizing computer-aided design (CAD) systems and how investing large amounts of money on a system may not necessarily give the best results. Developments on the Web will be highlighted, as well as the role of virtual reality in manufacturing processes.
