SensiTile technology allows various materials to react to changes in light intensity and color. Using the same principle that makes fiber optics possible, the embedded light-conducting matrix in a SensiTile material either reconfigures the shadows that fall on it or redirects and scatters any oncoming light. In an environment with ambient light, any movement around the material that casts shadows will produce a set of “ripples” on the material’s surface; while in darker environments, any beam of light falling on a SensiTile is redirected to emerge from another part of its surface.
SensiTile can be combined with a range of materials, including concrete, polymer, and resin, to be incorporated into flooring, walls, facades, countertops, and partitions. Last year, in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects, SensiTile won the “Boulevard der Stars” competition in Berlin to develop a series of plaques honoring German film stars.
Composed of a propriety micro-concrete mix within which a light-conducting fiber-optic like matrix is embedded; SensiTile Terrazzo blends the durability of concrete with the latest in optical technology. These amazing hand made tiles invite you to touch and interact with them as they infuse the organic stone-like feel of concrete with a marvelous technological surprise. Rediscover the playful tactility of a child by giving your surroundings a gentle touch of magic.
Terrazzo tiles are extremely versatile and can be used almost anywhere including floors, walls and countertops. SensiTile Terrazzo tiles are available in several different sizes and thicknesses to suit your application.
Terrazzo is available in ten standard colors and we also have the ability to custom pigment the tiles.

The EcoSmart Fire is an Australian innovation - an environmentally friendly open fireplace. Flue less and easily transportable, the EcoSmart Fire does not require any installation or utility connection for fuel supply, which makes it ideal for apartment and city living. Fuelled by a renewable energy (Denatured Ethanol), it burns clean and is virtually maintenance free.
The Igloo is a rectangular shaped fireplace. It is a freestanding piece of furniture designed to accept the EcoSmart flue less burner. The EcoSmart Fire Igloo is designed for installation in units, apartments, houses, and commercial premises including offices, bars & restaurants. The Igloo comprises a toughened glass frame for the back and sides with a “disappearing” effect and a non-combustible floating shelf (corian) that has a cut-out to accommodate a Top Tray (which is fitted flush with the shelf surface) and then the EcoSmart burner is inserted.The Igloo is a rectangular shaped fireplace.

Introduced alongside the W950i, Sony Ericsson today also showed the company’s first Bluetooth headset capable of streaming audio in stereo. Dubbed the HBH-DS970, the headset relies on Bluetooth 2.0 and support for the A2DP profile to enable up to 6 hours of music playback or talk time, and up to 300 hours of standby time. Weighing in at 27 g, the headset also supports multi-point functionality, letting it stay connected to several devices at one time - such as an MP3 player and a mobile phone - to enable rapid switching.
Also equipped with an integrated LCD display for showing caller ID and music information, the HBH-DS970 is scheduled for arrival in the second quarter of 2006. Its price has yet to be announced.

In 1903, the Williamsburg Bridge opened as the largest suspension bridge spanning New York’s East River. Never considered aesthetically beautiful, the bridge falls short in comparison with the acclaimed Brooklyn Bridge.
This proposal for a new railing along the pedestrian and bicycle walkway of the Williamsburg Bridge employs illuminated poles as part of the supporting structure. The poles light up when a pedestrian passes by, providing an alternative lighting source for the walkway. A pole is illuminated to roughly one-third of its height. The lit segment, which starts out at the bottom of the pole, gradually travels upward until it vanishes above the structure. Visible from afar, the lighting system is a reassuring indication of activity on the walkway, encouraging more people to frequent the bridge at night. Furthermore, the new lighting system may reduce costs for the bridge maintenance.
“This is a clear, elegant proposal for dramatizing the passage of pedestrians across the Williamsburg Bridge. The idea is to provide animated light for the walker as well as signaling to the rest of the world the live activity of the bridge. This concept is at once poetic and crystal clear, unburdened with any didactic message. It is a simple celebration of pedestrian life and the urban scene.”

Canon launched its CXDI series, the first X-ray digital radiography system incorporating the LANMIT, in 1998. Conventional X-ray photography systems produce images after X-rays passing through the patient’s body are absorbed by a scintillator, and the light emitted by this material is exposed on the film and then developed by the processor. Canon’s CXDI-series incorporates a system in which the LANMIT directly reads light emitted by the scintillator. The images can be displayed in a mere three seconds after the X-ray exposure. In other words, Canon’s technology dramatically increases the speed and efficiency of X-ray procedures. Our system provides better performance than conventional X-ray screen-film systems and digital systems in which the laser stimulates the image from the scintillator, and then reads the strength of the light to make the X-ray image. In addition to upright and bucky-type X-ray digital cameras, Canon released a portable model in 2001. In 2003, Canon introduced a lighter and smaller upright, horizontalbed- type model, which can reduce the X-ray dose, and a portable model that allows larger shots.
Canon’s digital radiography system not only shows the X-ray image on computer displays, but it can also be used to transmit images through networks to workstations, printers and databases, enhancing information sharing in hospitals and allowing off-site diagnoses. The CXDI series, a fullscale digital radiography system, meets almost every X-ray need by capturing images of most parts of the body. It makes significant contributions to the diversifying medical industry, including remote diagnosis and emergency care.
