The world's largest medical trade fair is the MEDICA in Dusseldorf, where each year about six hundred speakers introduce the latest medical knowledge of their discipline and some three hundred suppliers present their latest discoveries and developments. Outpatient as well as inpatient technological tools up to new digital processes of health care are presented in Dusseldorf. So, all in all the entire modern achievements of world medicine are showcased there.

The term silicone was coined by Frederick Kipping, who pioneered the study of the organic compounds of silicon. Silicones are nonstick, rubber-like and heat-resistant compounds commonly used in lubricants, adhesives, cookware, insulation, sealants, medical applications, and breast implants. They are very stable and resist the effects of heat, water and oxidizing agents. Silicones are any of a diverse class of elastomers, fluids or resins based on polymerized siloxanes, substances whose molecules consist of chains made of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms. http://cadmodels.org/?q=silicone

Gazprom, the biggest extractor of natural gas in the world and the largest company in Russia, accounts for about 93 percent of Russian natural gas production. With reserves of 28,800 km3, it controls 16 percent of the world's gas reserves. With 119 billion barrels of reserves, Gazprom ranks behind only Saudi Arabia, with 263 billion barrels, and Iran, with 133 billion barrels, as the world's biggest owner of oil and oil equivalent in natural gas. http://fuelstudies.org/gazprom_opec_gecf.html

According to statistics taken in 2006, The United States consumes 20,588 barrels of crude oil per day. Send to the USA, China consumes 7,274 barrels of crude oil per day. Japan consumes 5,222, Russia consumes 3,103, Germany consumes 2,630, India consumes 2,534, Canada consumes 2,218, Brazil consumes 2,183, South Korea consumes 2,157, Saudi Arabia (OPEC) consumes 2,068, Mexico consumes 2,030, France consumes 1,972, United Kingdom consumes 1,816, Italy consumes 1,709 and Iran (OPEC) consumes 1,627 barrels of crude oil per day. Together this equals 59,131 barrels of crude oil per day.

Newly highlighted extra heavy oil resources, such as the Orinoco oil belt north of the Orinoco River in eastern Venezuela, the Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta Canada and Utah's Tar Sand Resource, have been gaining our attention. It is estimated that he Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta Canada, the second largest tar sand oil reserve in the world has 175 billion barrels of crude oil. http://fuelstudies.com/

Biodegradable means being able to be broken down into more basic components by fungi, bacteria or other simple organisms. Most chemicals are biodegradable but it takes different amount of time to break down, for example a piece of bread will break down rather quickly, and a piece of plastic will take decades and beyond. A majority of products are made mostly of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen; and the ideal final products would be Carbon Dioxide(CO2) and Water (H2O). Piece of bread after breaking down from complex sugars to simpler sugars, will degrade to CO2 and H2O. [read more]

Start-up ventures, inventors, and small companies may have product ideas, concepts, patents, or core technologies that are the basis of a new product development effort. Accordingly, many product development programs begin without either 2D (three dimensional) or 3D (three dimensional) CAD models. It is typical in these environments not to have professional CAD capabilities. Many business success stories tell of conversations over coffee sketching on a napkin. Good ideas can come from anywhere and anyone including from people with diverse backgrounds that do not necessarily include product or business development experience. At some point, people with entrepreneurial aspirations will seek the services of professional CAD designers, engineers, for prototyping and manufacturing capabilities. http://cadmodels.biz/

Solar thermal energy is a technology for harnessing solar energy for thermal energy and it is different from photovoltaics, which convert solar energy directly into electricity. There are many applications of solar thermal energy such as drying, heating and water distillation.

Many solar thermal technologies have existed for centuries and have established manufacturing bases in many sun-rich countries. Manufacturing can be done on a small scale without using expensive equipment. In 2008 solar thermal energy industry in Europe has grown over 60%. http://energysourcefacts.org/solar_energy_solar_thermal_energy.html

Tidal power is a form of hydro power utilizing the energy of tides for the generation of eco-friendly electricity. In spite of the fact that it is not yet widely used, tidal power definitely has potential for future electricity generation. Compared with solar power as well as wind energy, an advantage of tidal power can be seen in the circumstance that tides are more predictable than wind or the sun. Tides have their origin in the tidal forces generated by the moon and the sun on the one hand as much as the rotation of the earth on the other hand. For this reason tidal power which is classified as a renewable energy source, is practically inexhaustible. For the generation of electricity the strength of tides is of great importance. http://energysourcefacts.org/what_is_tidal_power.html

The earth is a watery planet. Two thirds of the earth surface is ocean. The land is covered with lakes, rivers, and streams. The earth is like a sponge soaking up rain. Water collects in aquifers deep below and flows downward to join lakes and oceans. Human bodies range from about 60 to 80 percent water content. Water is the fluid that carries nourishment to living cells of organisms that depend upon it to sustain life. http://cadmodels.org/?q=water_filtration_and_distillation

Record oil price increases since 2003 have been turning consumers to alternative fuels such as biodiesel, ethonol and even vegetable oil as the answer. Many have looked at the possibility of growing more oilseed crops as a solution to the problem of peak oil prices. Due to the fact that oilseed crops are not the most productive or efficient source of vegetable oil and the growing demand for food and the growing issue of the world food crisis, growing more oilseed crops for the production of biodiesel as an alternative to petrodiesel seems a bit impractical. Similar problems exist with most alternative fuels. Other solutions have been researched such as retrieving energy from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water from which the primary waste product is brackish water. (known as "salinity gradient power" and "osmotic power") http://fuelstudies.org/
