My college roomate's wife is supplying these rescue teams, as a side job to her main job supplying the Chinese ministry of emergency rescue.

Their current focus are heartbeat radar that scans living human under feet of rubble, and highpower laser that cuts through steel beams.

Her company is renting an office that overlooks one expensive business district in Beijing. She invited me for tea there once. The full glass walls give a nice view.
