Appliance Design - March 2008 - (Page 10) NEwS watch units, according to a recent study by the Freedonia Group, Cleveland, Ohio. Demand in the Asia/Pacific region, Africa and the Mideast, Latin America, and Eastern Europe will drive this growth. Microwaves will post the fastest gains of any product group. Refrigerators, freezers and conventional ranges will experience below-average gains. ing a 40 Gigabit Ethernet rate for server and storage applications and a 100 GbE rate for network aggregation. in the collection of rechargeable batteries and cell phones. More than 6.3 million pounds of batteries were recycled in the U.S. and Canada through its Call2Recycle program. Collection sites include recycling locations in various communities as well as at retailers such as Circuit City. The group recently partnered with Sony Electronics Inc. A Call2Recycle collection bag will be included with each custom, built-to-order Sony VAIO notebook. GIGE GEtS GOING. The IEEE has formed a task force to draft a standard for 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s technology. The task force, IEEE P.8023ba, is working to complete the standard by 2010. In July 2007, the Higher Speed Study Group, which recommended the task force be formed, agreed upon a single project encompass- DOUBLE DIGIt GROwth. BSH Home Appliances Corp. of Huntington Beach, Calif., recorded double-digit growth in 2007 and says it has shown record growth since 2003. The company attributes its growth to the 37 new products launched in that time including built-in wall ovens, induction cooking technology, dishwashers and front-loading laundry. VacUUMS ON thE BaLL.
