Cinemagazine itmes: A new survival pack the size of a soap tablet, and weighing rather less - a form of sleeping bag made of nylon; granules can reveal in some detail where the shoes of a burglar have trod and even reveals the pattern on the sole of the shoe and whether the culprit has fallen arches; a computer can mastermind the movements of an indoor sailing dinghy and prepare a novice for sailing.
