EarthSure, a renewable energy company and innovator in alternative energy sources, introduces yet another earth-saving invention. Following on the heels of the WindAir™ converter system and the SubSolar™ system, Earthsure’s CEO Raymond Saluccio introduces an innovative way to convert man-made light into renewable energy. “Dynamic Duo” is the name given to a system of collecting both solar and man-made light through optical lenses installed in fixtures such as office building lights, street lights, stadium lights, etc. and transmitting the light via fiber optics to solar panels hidden beneath the ground. This system is an enhancement to the SubSolar system; a way to transform sunlight from compact optical devices to solar panels located below the surface, whereby hiding unsightly solar panels and increasing the production life of the panels.
Two experimental treatments, a retinal prosthesis and fetal tissue transplant, restored some vision to people with blinding eye diseases. The findings, presented at Neuroscience 2009, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world's largest source of emerging news on brain science and health, may lead to new treatments for the blind. Researchers also reported that an engineered protein restored vision in an animal model and identified ways to improve stem cell treatments.
Plastic optical fibre (POF) for data transmission is often described as the “consumer” version of glass optical fibre, the kind that makes up the long-distance trunk routes of telecommunications networks. Flexible plastic fibres, with a core diameter of 1mm and made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), are cheap to produce, easy to install and transmit light in the visible range as opposed to infrared, making maintenance easier and safer. But those properties typically come at the expense of lower bandwidth and high attenuation, restricting their use to sending data over short distances at relatively low speeds.
