Ford Motor Co., Detroit, and DERA have formed Holographic Imaging, a joint venture to accelerate vehicle design. DERA, originally a U.K. defense research agency, has developed advanced 3D imaging technology to be used by Ford to create full-scale virtual digital models of prototype vehicles. Savings will come from reduced reliance on hard models, redesigning features in real time, and holding multiple design reviews simultaneously. For example, an instrument panel can be viewed in full scale from behind the wheel or the passenger seat to get customer feedback months before a physical mock-up could be built. Both Ford and DERA will retain equal stakes in the new company, which will be based in the U.S. Contact: Tom Scott, trscott@peoplepc.com.

Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible. Read More
