...tower in the heart of Manhattan that will use recirculated heat and natural gas to produce some of its own energy and use it more efficiently. Higher ceilings and insulating glass will reduce temperature changes and maximize available sunlight.

Many current methods are slow and cover no more than 1% of the estimated 77,220 sq. mi. of the world's land-mine-infested territory every year. Elleholm says Aresa's technique can cover five times as much ground in the same amount of time as other detection techniques...
