Iceotope has successfully developed a new way to solve the heat problem in high density server computers. The company claims that this new technology will decrease server cooling costs by 93%, or if you were cooling 1,000 servers, you will save for around $788,400 in three years. The Iceotope system immerses each server motherboard in a bath of inert coolant, which is circulated via a pump at the back of the server rack. Iceotope will demonstrate this technology at Supercomputing 2009 in Portland, Oregon. Watch the video after the jump to get more info. More
This NeuroStar TMS Therapy System looks like a dentist chair, but it is actually designed to cure depression. The patient sits in a chair as an electromagnetic coil pulses magnetic fields to the patient’s left prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that regulates mood and stimulates neurons to make more mood-enhancing dopamine. Each treatment session lasts approximately 37 minutes. The NeuroStar TMS Therapy System will be the first TMS therapy to earn FDA approval. [NeuroStar]
