04 December 2007 | The invention of Armin Zimmermann

Armin Zimmermann, 53, of Konstanz, Germany, has invented a basic module capable in some cases of doubling the throughput of mail-sorting systems. He came up with the idea of installing an automatic interim storage point that can be used in every sorting unit. This improves the utilization of the capacity and saves sorting time which finally improves the throughput.

Jian Min Wang, 45, of Shenzhen in China, has simplified the MRT scanner technology, enabling production of an especially low-priced system for hospitals on tight budgets. He achieved two seemingly mutually exclusive goals: lower costs due to a less sophisticated signal receiving system that has been conceived to provide core quality and, at the same time, the incorporation of the Tim technology by means of an innovative switching system.

04 December 2007 | Martin Teichmann

Martin Teichmann, 41, from Graz, Austria, has developed a revolutionary design for train traction vehicles that cuts energy consumption, saves space, and significantly reduces weight. In all, the new running gear is approximately two tons per bogie lighter than today’s technology. A four-car subway train using the bogie, for example, can transport about 200 passengers more than a conventionally equipped train, with the same level of energy consumption.

Chad Felch, 35, of Rothschild, Wisconsin (U.S.), provided a major contribution to making production of oil from tar sand in Canada more environmentally compatible. His process uses the so called Zimpro wet air oxidation (WAO) process to destroy 90 percent of the soot, minimizing the amount of waste soot requiring disposal. In addition, the heavy metals in the soot may be able to be recovered and sold as a product

Andreas Jöckel, 40, of Ruhstorf, Germany, has developed an entirely new drive system that could soon be powering subways and commuter trains around the world. A prototype is already traveling the Munich subway system. In this initial phase it’s operating without passengers on its nightly test drives. However, starting in January 2008 it will be used in normal subway operations. (see also Martin Teichmann)
