Is it a hazard?

If it's a hazardous chemical substance, StreetLab Mobile can help first responders identify it. This point-and-shoot handheld is based on Raman Spectroscopy and it will soon be complemented by biological substance identification capability. That will enable StreetLab Mobile to identify in seconds a broad range of chemical and biological substances in liquid, powder and solid forms.

Using Raman Spectroscopy for data capture and analysis, StreetLab Mobile consumes little or no substance sample and easily allows the operator to understand and share results. The handheld unit uses extended-range wireless technology so first responders can quickly deliver accurate results from the field to tactical commanders at remote command centers.

Serious gaming graphics

If you’re into 3D games then check out the liquid-cooled single GPU graphics card — the ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX ZONE Edition. This card delivers the power of NVIDIA GeForce 9 series graphics power with PureVideo HD video processing technology in a virtually silent graphics card.

Cooled by a custom water-cooling system, the GTX ZONE delivers high-performance in DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1 titles while keeping down thermal and noise levels. Unlike conventional water-cooling units available from third parties, the ZOTAC card has a self-contained water-cooling system that requires no end-user maintenance. The unit comes already attached to the graphics card and only requires the user to mount the 120mm fan and radiator module. The water-cooling system delivers up to 21.5 percent lower GPU temperatures compared to traditional air-cooled solutions.
