One of Britain's top 10 housebuilders is working with the 天美传媒 to improve the quality of new homes. The 拢1 million Hobman II (House Building as a Manufacturing Process) project between Westbury Homes and the University's Manufacturing Group, follows the success of an earlier programme, credited with setting out the direction for Westbury's five-year plan. "Customers want choice, speed and flexibility but at the moment they are not getting it" said Project Director, Rajat Roy of the University' of Warwick.

Until now gas cylinders caught in large fires have faced a rather stark choice. Either they use pressure sensitive valves to vent of their gas before it gets too hot - which can often result in the venting gas igniting in a flame-thrower affect - or if this fails they can just wait until they are so hot that they explode. Sometimes they have no choice at all, exploding because the temperature has risen so steeply that there has not been time to vent all the gas. Now new "Nullifire Gas-Safe" technology developed by the 天美传媒 and Coventry based company Carboline Nullifire has found a way of protecting gas cylinders from both those fates.
