Germs be gone!

 Maintaining good hygiene involves more than just washing hands; this month's TechOffers show new ways to keep germs and diseases at bay. 

Set foot into any clinic and you might find that the air inside has an astringent, almost unpleasant smell. Part of that smell comes from the alcohol that clinics use to disinfect and maintain hygiene standards, in the name of preventing harmful germs from spreading from one patient to another.

Navigating the world of tech
 See how these three TechOffers bring sensor and positioning systems to the forefront 

From fingerprint scanners to navigation kiosks, an increasing number of electronic devices are being deployed to manage facilities and indoor spaces. Many of these devices carry sensors that detect changes in the environment, which can be used for detection or in positioning systems.
