New map pinpoints Lyme disease risk areas (AP)

This map released by the Yale School of Public Health on Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 shows a map which indicates areas of the eastern United States where people have the highest risk of contracting Lyme disease based on data from 2004-2007. Researchers dragged sheets of fabric through the woods to snag ticks for the survey. The map shows a clear risk across much of the Northeast, from Maine to northern Virginia. Researchers at Yale University also identified a high-risk region across most of Wisconsin, northern Minnesota and a sliver of northern Illinois. Areas highlighted as 'emerging risk' regions include the Illinois-Indiana border, the New York-Vermont border, southwestern Michigan and eastern North Dakota. (AP Graphic/Yale School of Public Health, Maria Diuk-Wasser)AP - Researchers who spent three years dragging sheets of fabric through the woods to snag ticks have created a detailed map they claim could improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.

In this undated photo provided by Sandia National Laboratories, a time exposure, a light-emitting diode, or LED, attached to a self-guided bullet at Sandia National Laboratories shows a bright path during a nighttime field test. The New Mexico-based Sandia National Laboratories announced Tuesday Jan. 31, 2012 that its engineers have invented a bullet that directs itself to a target like a tiny guided missile and can hit a target more than a mile away. According to Sandia Labs engineers, the bullet twists and turns to guide itself toward a laser-directed point. Officials say it can make up to thirty corrections per second while in the air. (AP Photo/Sandia National Laboratories)AP - Figuring out how to pack a processor and other electronics into a machine gun bullet has been a challenge for engineers at Sandia National Laboratories, so weapons experts say the miniature guidance system the lab has developed is a breakthrough.

Sim-Lei
Plus de 30 sociétés se sont alliées pour créer cette voiture électrique avec l'objectif d'en faire un modèle extrêmement économe. Le résultat est plutôt convaincant puisque la Sim-Lei a parcouru 333 km avec une seule charge de sa batterie de 24.5 kWh (comparable à une batterie de Nissan Leaf 2011). Ses performances pures sont épatantes, 0 à 100 km/h en 4,8 secondes et une vitesse maximale de 150 km/h. L'originalité technologique de ce modèle réside dans ses moteurs. Il y en a quatre, placés dans les roues (moteurs SIM-Drive). De plus la Sim-Lei est équipée de pneu à faible résistance au roulement (Bridgestone Ecopia).
