Less sulphur in Indian petrol
...scientists from SINTEF and Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) in India have attempted to develop cheaper methods to reduce the amount of sulphur in petrol. They have now produced results they are considering patenting. Restrictions Sulphur in fuel is harmful to the environment, and restrictions in this...
See me! Feel me! Touch me!
Illustration: www.doghouse.no The touch screen has evolved over time. Although many smart phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) had touch screens long before Apple entered the market, the iPhone, introduced in 2007, was one of the first user-friendly smart phones with a touch screen. Two types...

The CRIOP advantages
The main advantages of the CRIOP method is the ability of reducing costs and risks in the design process. The CRIOP analysis is under a continous development, thus it is future-oriented. Cost reducing The cost of changes increases significant between each phase in the design process. Experience shows...
