Italy has been on the global PV investment map for the last three years. The reason is the generous feed-in-tariffs that have been offered since 2006. This, combined with remarkable solar irradiation, led to a quick boom on the Italian PV market. The purpose of the report is to study the Italian PV market situation and analyze the market potential and forecasts for the coming years.
This research report presents shipment volume and value forecast and recent quarter review of the Taiwanese optical disk drive industry. The report includes optical disk drive shipment volume, value, ASP, manufacturer volume ranking, and product mix analysis, as well as breakdowns by price trend, shipment destination, production location, and business type. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with optical disk drive makers. The report finds that the optical disk drive shipments in the first half of 2009 were affected by declines in mainstream PC shipments. The inventory replenishment in anticipation of peak-season demand in the second half of 2009, along with sufficient pick-up head supply, were expected to help the industry's shipment volume and value achieve sequential growth in the third quarter of 2009. It is anticipated, however, the industry's third-quarter sequential growth will not continue into the fourth quarter of 2009.
Miracle Recreation Equipment Company proudly launched its new MiracleTech product line at the National Recreation Park Association annual conference held in Salt Lake City, UT this month.

Results of the FDA pivotal clinical trial for the LightTouch™ Non-invasive Cervical Cancer Detection Device conducted by Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (GT) (Pink Sheets: GTHP), indicated that the current system for diagnosing cervical disease missed the same amount of disease as a landmark study carried out by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
The spectacular new camera installed on NASA's Hubble Space Telescope during Servicing Mission 4 in May has delivered the most detailed view of star birth
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Most biopsies following mammograms reveal benign abnormalities, not cancer.
But women may not have to endure the medical costs, stress and potential complications that accompany such invasive biopsies forever. A University of Florida biomedical engineering researcher is making progress on an "optical biopsy" that has the potential to determine whether growths are cancerous without ever puncturing the skin.
This week, Astronomy & Astrophysics publishes a somewhat unusual research article because it is co-authored by German high-school students. Led by astronomer Klaus Beuermann (University of Göttingen, Germany), the team [1] involves a secondary school physics teacher, three students from two high schools in Göttingen [2], and three professional astronomers. The team made use of a remotely-controlled 1.2-meter telescope in Texas [3], funded by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation for the expressed purpose of making such resources available to schools as well as professional astronomers. The students, S. Paik, A.-M. Ploch, and J. Zachmann, and their teacher, J. Diese, observed the light variations of the faint (19th magnitude) cataclysmic variable EK Ursae Majoris (EK UMa) over two months.
Scientists are making progress toward development of an "artificial leaf" that mimics a real leaf's chemical magic with photosynthesis — but instead converts sunlight and water into a liquid fuel such as methanol for cars and trucks. That is among the conclusions in a newly-available report from top authorities on solar energy who met at the 1st Annual Chemical Sciences and Society Symposium. The gathering launched a new effort to initiate international cooperation and innovative thinking on the global energy challenge.
Block Engineering announced today that it has been awarded a new $4,380,000 government contract to develop a fieldable, handheld infrared spectrometer that utilizes Block's unique laser and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technologies. The spectrometer will be used for standoff detection of solid and liquid explosive materials or other substances that could be used for making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Block's technology could also be used for the detection of Chemical Warfare Agents, Non-Traditional Agents and Toxic Industrial Chemicals.
MiaSolé, the emerging leader in the manufacture of CIGS thin film photovoltaic modules received simultaneous certification of its 100 and 107 watt CIGS thin film, solar modules to UL 1703 and IEC 61646 and 61730 standards on October 30, 2009. It was the first CIGS thin film module to be certified by UL to the three most critical certification standards and all three UL certifications were accomplished simultaneously.
Lockheed Martin is upgrading its Lake Underhill Facility in Orlando, Florida with solar-powered streetlights from Carmanah Technologies (TSX:CMH). While building on the company’s past successes with energy-efficient lighting, this new innovation underscores an ongoing commitment to Lockheed Martin’s commitment to reduce energy usage in its facilities worldwide. The powerful new street-lighting system will be supplied by HD Supply and SESCO, Carmanah’s lighting representatives for the Central Florida region. In addition to providing significant savings on installation and wiring, the stand-alone lighting alternative is expected to return significant energy savings during the next 20 years.
The University of Essex is unveiling its eagerly-anticipated £1.5 million Networked Media Laboratory on 12 November.
This major facility offers unique transmission and visual capabilities and will help scientists at the University's School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering to address the ever-increasing demands of Ultra High Definition (UHD) and other emerging media formats beyond the present day HD.
