Vacuum technology makes a clean break

Article Abstract:

The development of a low energy vacuum cleaner is set to revolutionize the cleaner market. The Air cleaner directs fan-created air into the carpet where dirt particles are dislodged and re-directed into collection capsule which can be easily removed for emptying and cleaning. The Air cleaner has been developed by an Australian firm called Jetfan, which claims the system could also be used in industrial settings where toxic materials need to removed. The system works on an air pressure method known as the Coanda effect.

Magnets take the grind out of polishing

Article Abstract:

QED Technologies has used magneto-rheological fluid as the basis for an innovative polishing process for precision optical components. The Magnetorheological Finishing machine uses a constant supply of magneto-rheological fluid, but only magnetically manipulates it at the point of polishing. The temperature and viscosity of the liquid are constantly monitored. The process is very flexible and accurate, as the fluid is constantly recirculated and conditioned.
