Covid-19 emptied the offices, but after the first euphoria of teleworking, people are now feeling lonely working at home. It would, however, have been possible to safely continue working in physical teams with the aid of Genano's innovative air purification system, which is the only one on the market to remove ultrafine particles down to 0,003 µm.  Genano’s air decontaminators use a patented cold-plasma technology based on powerful electronic air purification without any physical filters. The purifiers eliminate 99.999 per cent of the bacteria and viruses in indoor air, according to a recent scientific study conducted by the internationally acknowledged VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. “When the corona virus attacked the world last year, we kept on working in our premises, since we knew that the indoor air did not contain any viruses thanks to our air decontaminators”, says Niklas Skogster, CEO of Genano. “One...

Avtech proFlight is an easy-to-use iPad app that visualizes flight related weather information like turbulence, winds, temperature, ice and more, all tailored to a single flight’s trajectory and time. Now all pilots can try out the app free of charge for a limited time on AppStore. Niklaes Persson, Head of R&D at Avtech and a commercial airline pilot himself, explains that the proFlight app gives pilots a graphical view of the exact location of the aircraft and the surrounding weather, including invisible turbulence. “To download the flight plan to proFlight, a pilot that is registered in our system only needs to choose the flight number from a list in the app, which then automatically downloads all the needed data for that flight”, Persson says. “But it is much more than just another weather app. Having unique access to Met Office’s 10 km resolution weather data, which our backend servers extract individually for every flight...

Swedish IT company has developed a very precise weather and wind data product portfolio to help aircrafts fly as economically and comfortably as possible – without the airlines having to invest in any new equipment. In a recent real-life test, Norwegian Air Shuttle reduced CO2-emissions by 2 000 tons in three months’ time last autumn, by using Avtech’s services in the company’s fleet of 106 Boeing 737-800 aircrafts. “We saved from one to eighty kilograms of fuel per flight, the average being 22 kilos, purely by optimizing the descent phase of the flights”, says Norwegian pilot and project manager Stig Patey. “The 10K weather grid makes it possible to avoid unfavourable winds at given altitudes during the flight and to start the descent phase at exactly the right moment. Our pilots have reportedly been very pleased with the easy to use service that in real life proved to be much more accurate than the standard weather systems.” All of...

Профессионалы, занимающиеся пищевой упаковкой, порой ощущают себя связанными регламентирующими нормативами и стандартами. Однако не менее жесткие требования предъявляются и к упаковке медицинской продукции. Такие изделия должны быть изготовлены в стерильной среде и в безопасности доставлены в операционную без риска загрязнения. Несоблюдение этих требований подвергает опасности жизнь и здоровье пациентов медицинских учреждений. Одно из важнейших требований к упаковке заключается в обеспечении успешной транспортировки продукции – импланта или хирургического оборудования, – до кабинета врача или операционной. Многочисленные стандарты, направленные на соблюдение этого требования, регламентируют такие показатели, как герметичность упаковочного материала, пригодность упаковки к процессу стерилизации, прочность запирающих клапанов, барьерные свойства, не допускающие проникновение микроорганизмов, и многие другие. Помимо того, что все эти...
