The article presents a study which discusses the way that runners accelerate their speed and examines the joint structure influences that are essential for movement. It mentions that the tendon lever arm were measured using an indirect technique called tendon excursion method which measures the rotation of the joint through an ultrasound scanner. It affirms that lead sprinters generate a high propulsive ground reaction force that enables them to accelerate faster and reach top speeds more quickly. The authors affirm that as one grow older, their mobility level tends to decrease.

This article reports that the U.S. Department of Energy earmarked $18 million in energy conservation funding to be split among General Electric Co. (GE), Eaton Corp., and Honeywell for developing distributed wireless multisensor technologies. GE, through its Global Research arm in Niskayuna, New York, will investigate wireless motor monitoring; Eaton Corp. of Cleveland will examine wireless data acquisition from electrical distribution gear; and Minneapolis-based Honeywell Inc. will look at wireless process control. The projects, now completing their first phases, will produce demonstration systems when they wrap up two years from now.
