Swiss company Vitra has previewed a set of office seating prototypes, called Soft Work. The designers argue that the next trend in 21st-century working life will be to do away with the the desk-and-chair setup altogether and replace it with sofas.

Calclear Water Conditioner offers a unique electronic method to eliminate the problems of limescale from home and commercial plumbing systems and appliances. Installation is simple, needing no plumbing and using no chemicals. It?s a simple effective, electronic unit which inhibits scale build-up , creates soft water, reduces maintenance and extends the life of plumbing and hot water systems whilst having low running costs. It works by using a tiny computer chip to generate variable wave forms that change the ability of the mineral salts to crystallise and form the deposits we know as limescale. The changed salts remain in solution where they offer health benefits. www.calclear.com.au
Today I went to a school reunion at Mosman and found out that buses on Sydney's north shore are better designed than those in the eastern suburbs. Bus stops have illuminated signs to show where buses are going and when they will arrive. The interior sign also clearly shows the next stop. Our bus was a double decker.
Hovermap technology allows drones to collect data in underground areas, or other locations in which GPS is not reliable. It's the result of a decade of research from CSIRO's robotics and autonomous systems group. The drones can be deployed without a human controller and can create 3D maps, record gas readings and take images and videos.. They are equipped with lasers, which let them detect the environment around them. The CSIRO ON accelerator program, was the catalyst for the commercialisation of the venture. http://www.emesent.io/
