The puzzle-platform game Portal evidently has created a cult following since its debut in 2007 and hardcore fans have also shown a strong passion for the three-legged turrets which themselves have become a hot collectible item. If you are one of the enthusiasts who cannot afford the limited edition of the Aperture Sentry Turret miniature, it's perhaps time to consider a USB miniatured version - exclusively from ThinkGeek.
The officially licensed turret is pretty close to the real thing with its motion detector; self-retractable gun pods; and signature sweet-childlike voice recordings from the games. As soon as someone approaches, the turret would open its wings to reveal its mini-guns and warn the target in one of the following phrases: Target acquired; There you are; I see you; Preparing to dispense product; or Activated . If the turret is knocked over, it would vibrate repeatedly and alert you with an audible notification such as one of these "Critical error", "Shutting down", "Malfunctioning", "I don't hate you" or "Hey, hey, hey". For Star Wars fans, there's also a Yoda version. Now see the turret in action in the video below.

Skin Resurfacing is an exfoliation technique for removing the topmost layer of skin, leaving it more supple and vibrant. The DiamondTome™ Skin Resurfacing System removes this layer by gently exfoliating the skin with natural diamond chips bonded to the tip of the wand, while vacuuming the exfoliated skin cells away in a controlled manner. Removing this outer layer leaves a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin. Unlike other exfoliation treatments, the DiamondTome™ Skin Resurfacing System uses no loose abrasives to contaminate you or the environment.
Skin Resurfacing also stimulates the vascular circulation to the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance. Treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, back, legs, elbows, and feet. It can be used alone, or in combination with other treatments. A trained clinician, nurse, aesthetician or physician administers the treatments.
The DiamondTome™ Skin Resurfacing treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time. To achieve maximum results, several treatments are recommended for a healthier, younger looking skin.


















Isothermal Titration Calorimetry









The TA Instruments Nano-Series calorimeters represent the highest sensitivity and unmatched flexibility for the investigation of biological samples. The Nano ITC is focused on the measurement of ligand binding and reaction kinetics, with increased baseline stability and more tolerance to environment temperature fluctuations. New heat sensing architecture ensures the highest data quality for reproducible results using the new easy-to-use NanoAnalyze data analysis software.


ARES-G2 Rheometer










The new ARES-G2 is the most distinctive rotational rheometer for advanced research and material development. It represents the culmination of five years of ground-up intensive R&D effort, and stands as a testament to TA’s commitment to innovation and continual improvement to the fundamental rheological measurement. The ARES-G2 remains the only commercially available rheometer to offer unique separate motor and transducer technology for the purest rheological measurements. No other rheometer is capable of measuring stress independently of the applied shear deformation. Unrivaled accuracy, flexibility, and ease-of-use is realized through improved specifications, new environmental systems, advanced options, expanded test modes, and new intuitive TRIOS Software with seamless test sequencing.
















Differential Scanning Calorimeters





Differential Scanning Calorimeters (DSC) measures temperatures and heat flows associated with thermal transitions in a material. Common usage includes investigation, selection, comparison and end-use performance evaluation of materials in research, quality control and production applications. Properties measured by TA Instruments’ DSC techniques include glass transitions, "cold" crystallization, phase changes, melting, crystallization, product stability, cure / cure kinetics, and oxidative stability.

TA Instruments' latest development, Tzero™ DSC technology, is a revolutionary and fundamentally more accurate way of measuring heat flow. It provides significant improvements in baseline flatness, transition resolution and sensitivity. Tzero™ technology allows direct measurement of heat capacity, and makes Modulated® DSC experiments both faster and more accurate. Three DSC modules (Discovery DSC, Q2000, and Q20) are now available, all significantly advance the DSC technique to levels previously unattainab

The new PowerMax™-USB/RS sensors are the world’s first laser power sensors that utilizes state of the art microelectronics miniaturization techniques and integrate an entire instrument within a USB 2.0 or RS-232 cable connector. Specifically, PowerMax USB/RS sensors have all the signal processing and power measurement electronics normally contained in a LabMax meter, and connects directly to a PC with plug and play functionality. Ideally suited for low and high volume embedded sensor applications, this new family of sensors eliminates the need for a separate meter box, thus delivering a significant savings in cost and space, but with no reduction whatsoever in performance.

Features
  • PowerMax-USB provides direct USB 2.0 connection to PC. Power provided via USB connection.
  • PowerMax-RS provides RS-232 connectivity. Power input provided via +5 VDC input.
  • Instrumentation platform is compatible with thermopiles and optical sensors
  • Displays beam position with position-sensing quadrant thermopiles (with LM-model sensors like LM-10)
  • High resolution 24-bit A/D converter supports measurement accuracy equivalent to that found in Coherent’s top-of-the-line LabMax meter
  • Four digits of measurement resolution
  • Sensors include spectral compensation for accurate use at wavelengths that differ from the calibration wavelength. Each device receives a unique spectral compensation curve specific to the absorption of its specific element, as well as transmission characterization of any associated optics.
  • Thermopile sensors include a speed-up algorithm that speeds up the natural response of the thermopile detector without overshoot
  • LED status indicators inside USB and RS-232 connectors provide health-and-status information
  • Long pulse joules capability using thermopile sensors
