Microsoft did a preview of its Touch Wall, a 6ft x 4ft prototype screen based on the company's surface multi-touch technology. The product follows the vision of Bill Gates, the company chairman, that all horizontal and vertical surfaces could be an inexpensive screen-display. He sees the Touch Wall to be a part of homes and offices in the near future.
The key difference between the Touch Wall and the other electromagnetic-based whiteboards is the ability to detect hand or stylus movements with the use of a camera beneath the screen.
While it is in the R&D phase, the company is already looking at its integration with Microsoft's flagship Office suite.

UK-headquartered CompAir has launched the Quantima oil-free variable-speed air compressor that uses innovative centrifugal technology in the US. Compressed air is the fourth utility after water, electricity and gas, and is used by thousands of manufacturing and process companies throughout the country. This compressor range can apparently cut compressed air energy bills by almost one-fourth and results in significant reduction in carbondioxide emissions. The technology used is expect to drive down costs for companies while also reducing downtime and downtime and increase productivity.
The key aspect of the compressor design the Q-drive compression assembly that has only one moving part spinning in a magnetic field. Its unique rotor and direct-driven compression elements are levitated by active electromagnetic bearings to allow them to reach speeds of up to 60,000 rpm.
