ORLANDO, Fla. - July 8, 2008 - Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS Company LLC), operator of the world's first all-plastic pool with embedded RFID tags, has added yet another innovation to the pallet rental industry¡ª''iDepots,'' a new concept that results in lower cost and increased revenue for participating retailers and distributors.
Shanghai, China - March 21, 2008 - A hemodialysis blood pump from Renal Solutions, Inc., featuring SABIC Innovative Plastics' advanced hemocompatibility polycarbonate (PC) resin, is helping meet demands for new and innovative healthcare devices. The patented Pulsar™ blood pump made with Lexan* HPM resins helps prevent buildup of thrombus on the pump's walls that could potentially interfere with the effectiveness of treatments.
Shanghai, China - March. 21, 2008 - A new portable Transcranial Doppler (TCD) device from Multigon Industries, Inc., featuring SABIC Innovative Plastics' LNP* Faradex* compound, provides a new way to detect unseen, yet traumatic, brain injuries in the field - whether a football field or a battlefield. The Neurovision™ 500P pocket TCD, with electromagnetic/radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding provided by LNP Faradex compound, makes it easier for doctors and other medical personnel to evaluate a potential brain injury on site, possibly improving outcomes from head injuries through early diagnosis and intervention.

East Hills, NY (October 22, 2007) - - Pall Corporation (NYSE: PLL) launches the new AcrodoseTM PLus System to ensure patients receive the safest possible platelet transfusion -- no matter what type of system blood centers use to collect donated blood. In addition to increasing safety and availability of blood, Pall's new technologies enable more efficient use of blood components by putting an end to wasting valuable and limited donations without increasing hospital or blood center costs. Along with the Acrodose PLus System, Pall is also introducing a new approach that makes universal blood collection possible. The new technologies are being showcased at the AABB annual meeting for transfusion medicine in Anaheim, California this week.
ScienceDaily (Nov. 8, 2007) - Peanut husks, one of the biggest food industry waste products, could be used to extract environmentally damaging copper ions from waste water, according to researchers in Turkey. Writing in the Inderscience publication the International Journal of Environment and Pollution, the team describes how this readily available waste material can be used to extract toxic copper ions from waste water. The discovery offers a useful alternative to simple disposal of this ubiquitous food industry waste product.
We would like to announce that in September 2007, PMP signed the contract with Yuen Foong Yu for a new complete tissue machine at its mill located in Beijing, China.
Science Daily ¡ª Sometimes life-saving technologies seem beyond the reach of the average person. If you put residential fire sprinklers in that category, think again. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) economists ran the numbers. Their benefit-cost analysis found that for new home construction, a multipurpose network sprinkler system that connects to a house's regular water supply and piping makes good economic sense.
Ultrasounds that produce video-quality moving images of the foetus have changed the debate about late-term abortion and is challenging current regulations, an Australian ethics expert says.
Made in Singapore lab-on-a-chip device to transform field testing for avian flu virus Joint efforts from A*STAR's IBN, IMCB and GIS would enable field workers to conduct rapid testing of avian flu on-site.
Science Daily - Cancer-sensing devices built as cheaply and efficiently as wristwatches -- using many of the same operating principles -- could change the way clinicians detect, treat and monitor cancer in patients.
