An artists drawing of Titan Corporation's SureBeam system which uses one or more linear accelerators to produce a beam of electrons that moves at nearly the speed of light to sterilize products is pictured in this undated photograph. The United States Postal Service is buying up to 20 of the systems to sterilize mail and eradicate the threat of anthrax contamination. The SureBeam in-line system features a relatively small footprint, making it easy to integrate into a facility. — REUTERS
