Not so easy rider
Article Abstract:
A new tagging scheme will deter motorcycle theft by making it easy for police to identify vehicles or parts. Dealers will receive packages of five Datatags, some of them small tablets and some injectable microtags. Ownership of tags will be centrally stored, and a hand-held device can read the tags by emitting a magnetic field that stimulates the passive tags to respond with their unique code. The technique was developed for animal husbandry.

1992 and all that
Article Abstract:
Unification of the European market will bring drawbacks as well as benefits to UK engineering firms. The Commission acts as a single regulatory body to ensure that trade barriers are removed, but businesses must supply statistical data on their shipments to replace what was previously gathered through customs. Environmental policy across Europe remains a thicket, and few laws enforce payment for goods from other countries.

Supplying quality
Article Abstract:
Many manufacturing companies have adopted the quality assurance standard BS5750, as part of total quality management (TQM), and those who have achieved registration, are now developing a preferred suppliers list. Thus, many suppliers are also seeking registration, and the Design Council is looking at the possibility of becoming an accredited certification body for design consultancies.
