Researchers from NEC Corporation, a major multinational firm and
producer of information technology, and Tohoku University
announced the development of an invention that would halt energy
consumption from computers, televisions, and other electronic
items when they are in standby mode. Normally, when electric
devices are plugged in, even though they are turned off, they
are still receiving a flow of electricity. NEC expects the new
technology to reduce power consumption in households by 2%, and
in facilities having many computers by about 25%.
Congratulations, NEC Corporation and Tohoku University, on this
Earth-friendly advancement. We look forward to hearing about
more such beneficial
innovations.http://rt.com/news/line/2011-06-13/#id12147
