DUOMO UK AND LOCAL AND GLOBAL PURSUIT OF RETURNING TO NORMALITY

Things have changed for us all recently and getting back to seeing our families and being able to do the things we love to do safely is a goal we hope to achieve.

One way in which this is being accomplished is using CO2 monitors that display and record the amount of carbon dioxide in air. Sensors that detect virus particles do not exist, so a good indicator of safety is levels of CO2 in air.

Duomo UK has recently been instrumental in providing monitors for some of the most prestigious music events, sports stadia, government building and many schools, offices, kitchens, and laboratories globally.

With scalable solutions that allow custom dashboards, complete turn key networked solutions and outputs there are few applications that these monitors cannot interface with.

The diverse range which sees advanced monitors with features such as app connectivity, Bluetooth, wireless, traffic light display along with temperature and relative humidity and particulate monitoring has set it apart and secured them as a major player for worldwide indoor air quality devices.

RACING SEASON PICKS UP PACE FOR STUDENTS AS NEW MORGAN CARS REVEALED

Engineering students from the University of Wolverhampton have put the finishing touches to two new Morgan racing cars – with the vehicles exclusively revealed at an event at Donington Park recently. The Morgan Motor Company, the University of Wolverhampton’s School of Engineering and the University’s racing team (UWR) have continued their long-standing technical partnership with the creation of a motorsport-focused variant of the Morgan Plus Four. The University of Wolverhampton recently signed a new five-year partnership agreement with the Morgan Motor Company, bringing with it a racing programme set to further improve the student experience. The two cars, which have been designed to compete in a host of club-level sprint and endurance championships, such as the Morgan Challenge, will race in the remainder of the 2021 season and beyond. Having completed the racing modifications to both cars, the UWR team will provide trackside and workshop engineering support to the cars and drivers, honing students vital skills and preparing them for a career in motorsport or automotive engineering. The partnership collaboration provides practical experience of working with a car manufacturer, educational programmes, research and development, as well as providing trackside experience for the students by preparing, maintaining and developing competitive race cars. Steve Morris, Chairman and CEO of Morgan Motor Company, said: “The programme brings tangible benefit in terms of ongoing product development, and we are delighted to continue our partnership with the University of Wolverhampton to inspire the next generation of automotive talent.” Professor David Proverbs, the Dean of Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University, said: “The partnership between the University of Wolverhampton’s racing team and the Morgan Motor Company provides an incredible opportunity for our students to work with such an iconic car manufacturer.”
