Cambridge Consultants welcomes the President of Vietnam

The President of Vietnam Tran Duc Luong visited Cambridge, spending time at Cambridge Consultants on the Science Park and the Earth Sciences department at Cambridge University. This formed part of the official visit to the UK as a guest of the Government. President Tran Duc Luong was welcomed to Cambridge by Alan Richardson, Chief Technology Officer and Mark Pettit, Finance Director.

"We are proud and delighted to have been chosen by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to host a visit for President Tran Duc Luong," said Alan Richardson. "It reinforces the leading edge position that Cambridge Consultants has in the Cambridge area, and acknowledges our status as creator of the Cambridge Phenomenon."

After a presentation to the President and other dignitaries about the creation of the technology sector in Cambridge, President Tran Duc Luong was shown two examples of the cutting edge technology Cambridge Consultants is renowned for.

Power Assist:
A novel new technology allows power assistance to be applied in highly sensitive ways to everyday consumer and trade equipment from work tools to kitchen appliances. The concept has the potential to stimulate new generations of products with the capability and throughput provided by motor power, but the feel and interactivity of manual control. Simple to apply, it could provide a rich new seam of differentiators for companies looking for imaginative ways to re-package everyday items based on mature technologies.

Dubbed Power Assist, the technology provides a way of interacting with powered products that replaces crude "on/off" functionality with natural and responsive control that is directly related to a user's hand movement.

Through Wall Radar:
A radical new type of radar technology that can ‘see through walls’ was demonstrated. The low frequency radar has the ability to detect the location and movement of people inside buildings, or simply breathing beneath rubble.
A unique detection technology can provide plan and elevation views of internal spaces, in a portable device that can be packaged in a battery-powered case that is around the size of a laptop computer.
