Will unconventional gas become conventional?

[postlink]https://radical-technology.blogspot.com/2010/07/will-unconventional-gas-become.html[/postlink]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwP7nB8e5v4endofvid [starttext]Recent developments in the gas sector in the US have the potential to change radically the energy situation in Europe. New technology has made unconventional gas resources available at competitive cost.
In North America, this sudden expansion of available gas has contributed to keeping gas prices low, despite ever rising demand. It has also helped the US to pursue its strategic objective of reducing its dependence on gas imports. Furthermore, the boom in unconventional gas in the US has changed the dynamics of markets for liquefied natural gas (LNG), with some supplies originally intended for the US being diverted to other markets including some in Europe[endtext]

Technology (NIST) is helping the Defense Department evaluate the in-the-field performance of two-way, real-time voice translation systems for use in Afghanistan. It may not be as sophisticated as the "universal translator" of Star Trek fame but it is helping bridge the language gap between U.S. soldiers and the people of Afghanistan.[endtext]

Multi-viewpoint 3D display for mobile phones!

[postlink]https://radical-technology.blogspot.com/2010/07/multi-viewpoint-3d-display-for-mobile.html[/postlink]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvqRtlQpMnEendofvid [starttext] At Wireless Japan 2010, NTT DoCoMo exhibited, for reference, a "mobile, multi-viewpoint, naked-eye 3D display".

This display uses a reticular lens to create a 3D effect when the left and right eyes see pictures from eight viewpoints. A feature of this system is that no 3D glasses are needed, and it enables viewing of natural 3D images over a wide range.

This multi-viewpoint 3D display gives a very realistic impression, as if objects are actually there. Source: http://www.diginfo.tv/ [endtext]

Tape cutter that leaves straight edges on cut tape : DigInfo!

[postlink]https://radical-technology.blogspot.com/2010/07/tape-cutter-that-leaves-straight-edges.html[/postlink]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkjHOZsUlxcendofvid [starttext] At the International Stationery and Office Products Fair, Nichiban exhibited the Chokusenbi tape cutter, which leaves straight edges on cut tape.

The newly designed blade in this cutter, leaves a straight edge on the tape. The absence of zigzags also means that its harder for the dust to stick to the cut edge, so it stays clean. [endtext]
