The clothing industry, for example, has explored the use of 3D scanning to obtain images that could be used to create perfect-fitting items that account for every curve and bulge. [...] he expects this use to someday overcome current logistical challenges and become reality. Other uses include scans of burn victims to help create well-fitting protective masks that must be worn while new skin grows, said Wood, adding that those in high-risk professions, such as firefighters, police officers, and soliders, should be pre-scanned in case they are badly injured and require reconstructive surgery.
As time went on, Durham became the home of clothing mills, the tobacco industry (which earned it the nickname "Bull City," after Bull Durham Tobacco), numerous educational institutions and, maybe most notably, medical research. The Raleigh-Durham area is now home to more than 300 medical and health-related companies and medical practices, including Research Triangle Park, a beautiful 7,000-acre designated research and production district with more than 140 major research companies and some 44,000 employees.

To date, a state highway historical ma...

Inside Gubernatorial debate turns up few differences, fewer specifics / 11A Democrat acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin released his first attack ad of the 2011 election cycle on Tuesday, a sign that his lead against Republican Bill Maloney has shrunk. The ad attempts to make Maloney seem like an outsider by, among other things, noting that Maloney was born and raised in the state of New York. Maloney moved to West Virginia after college.

The ad follows the playbook Democrat Joe Manchin successfully used in last years U.S. Senate race against Republican businessman John Raese. Tomblin also knocks Maloney for incorporating a company in Delaware. Basing a company in Delaware is commonly done t...

A proposed Obama administration rule to reduce the number of hours big-rig drivers can spend behind the wheel each day would hurt truckers while also driving up the cost of food, clothing and other products, industry leaders told a House subcommittee on Wednesday. The regulation, now under review by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, would reduce a tractor-trailer operator's maximum hours of service each day from 11 to 10. Proponents, including many House Democrats and organized labor, argue it will cut down on driver fatigue and lead to safer highways while also creating about 40,000 new jobs, since trucking companies would have to hire additional employees to make up for the lost time.
