Panasonic CRT Recycling Technology Using Laser separates CRTs within 50 seconds: Panasonic and Panasonic Eco Technology Center have developed a recycling technology using laser beams to separate the front panel and back part (funnel) of a cathode ray tube (CRT) used in TV sets. This laser-cut technology, which is implemented at PETEC's plant in Hyogo Prefecture, allows for separating CRTs quicker and cleaner than before. Panasonic's CRT recycling technology utilizes laser radiation to drastically reduce the processing time with much less manual work, allowing one tube to be processed in 50 seconds, three times faster than the previous method. The laser head of the innovative system has a "surface profiling" function to maintain a constant distance between the focal point and surface of the glass.

Sony reduces its global CO2 emissions by approximately 100,000 tons in fiscal year 2008: Sony is continuously working to increase energy efficiency in order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As part of this effort, Sony is actively promoting the use of renewable energy. By implementing initiatives such as the Green Power Certification System and the introduction of solar power generation systems, Sony reduced its global CO2 emissions by approximately 100,000 tons in fiscal year 2008. Sony Europe has achieved independent certification that every facility with over 100 employees is powered by 100% renewable energy amounting to 190 million kWh or approximately 55,000 tons worth of CO2 emissions. Sony today purchased Green Power Certificates equivalent to approximately 50% of the electricity to be used at Sony City (Sony's Headquarters building in Tokyo) beginning October 1, 2009. This represents the entire daytime electricity usage at the building, and is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 4,400 households.

Solar Probe Ulysses officially ceased operations on Tuesday after operating for more than 18 years: Ulysses, a joint mission of NASA and the European Space Agency, officially ceased operations on Tuesday after operating for more than 18 years and charting the region of space above the poles of the sun. Ulysses followed programmed commands and switched off its transmitter completely at 4:15 p.m. EDT (2015 GMT). When Ulysses was launched from the space shuttle Discovery on Oct. 6, 1990, it had an expected lifetime of five years. However, the mission gathered unique information about the heliosphere, the bubble in space carved by the solar wind, for nearly three times longer than expected.Ulysses made nearly three complete orbits of the sun. The probe revealed for the first time the three-dimensional character of galactic cosmic radiation, energetic particles produced in solar storms and the solar wind.

Toyota announces Worlds first Real-time controlled wheelchair using brain waves: The BSI-TOYOTA Collaboration Center has succeeded in developing a system which utilizes one of the fastest technologies in the world, controlling a wheelchair using brain waves in as little as 125 milliseconds. The new Toyota system fuses RIKEN's blind signal separation and space-time-frequency filtering technology to allow brain-wave analysis in as little as 125 ms, as compared to several seconds required by conventional methods. Brain-wave analysis results are displayed on a panel so quickly that drivers do not sense any delay.The system has the capacity to adjust itself to the characteristics of each individual driver, and thereby is able to improve the efficiency with which it senses the driver's commands.Thus the driver is able to get the system to learn his/her commands (forward/right/left) quickly and efficiently.
