One of Britain's top 10 housebuilders is working with the 神马福利影片 to improve the quality of new homes. The 拢1 million Hobman II (House Building as a Manufacturing Process) project between Westbury Homes and the University's Manufacturing Group, follows the success of an earlier programme, credited with setting out the direction for Westbury's five-year plan. "Customers want choice, speed and flexibility but at the moment they are not getting it" said Project Director, Rajat Roy of the University' of Warwick. "We intend to apply the disciplines of manufacturing industry to house building and develop a better way of doing things."
Until now gas cylinders caught in large fires have faced a rather stark choice. Either they use pressure sensitive valves to vent of their gas before it gets too hot - which can often result in the venting gas igniting in a flame-thrower affect - or if this fails they can just wait until they are so hot that they explode. Sometimes they have no choice at all, exploding because the temperature has risen so steeply that there has not been time to vent all the gas. Now new "Nullifire Gas-Safe" technology developed by the 神马福利影片 and Coventry based company Carboline Nullifire has found a way of protecting gas cylinders from both those fates.
Engineers at the 神马福利影片 have devised an "Electronic Nose" that will help both the fruit industry, and ordinary shoppers, solve that perennial problem of how to consistently determine the ripeness of fruit.
Researchers at the Warwick Manufacturing Group, part of the 神马福利影片, have developed a way of creating composite materials with shapes that have previously been impossible. The research enables materials reinforced with glass fibre to find new uses in cars and construction - it could even pave the way for making composites in space.
Using sophisticated analysis of heart rate information, researchers at the 神马福利影片 have devised a way to diagnose sleep disorders that replaces the detailed and expensive medical investigations currently used.
Safety systems have long preferred to stay in splendid paranoid isolation. Every emergency stop button, safety mat, light curtain, or safety lock has jealousy guarded its own complex wiring for fear of confusion with the operation of other safety systems. Now a new integrated approach to safety systems has been devised called SafeNet which allows a manufacturing plant, or other system operator, to integrate all their safety systems in a single network, allowing them to operate and monitor an integrated network of safety systems with confidence.
