Li-Fi

 

Instead of radio waves, use light to get online. Unlike wi-fi, or wireless fidelity, so-called “li-fi” transmits data through variations in light intensity.

Recent research in China  showed that, using a one-watt LED bulb, li-fi could connect four computers to the Internet at data transfer rates up to 150 megabits per second.

Earlier this year, German scientists sent data at three Gigabits per second using LED lamps, in controlled conditions in their lab. They later demonstrated 500 megabits per second speeds in a real-world setting. Most wi-fi connections don’t even come close to 100 megabits per second.

Li-fi has drawbacks. The technology works only when the LED’s light can reach the gadget. Stray from the LED, and you lose your connection. On the plus side, the visible light spectrum can handle way more traffic than wi-fi’s already crowded radio spectrum. And any LED bulb can be a network connection.

BioLite CampStove

 

Stove with lots of technology in it.It runs on fuel you can pick up off the ground – twigs, bark or pinecones – providing you with a free, low-smoke fire.Its just take 5 minutes to boil a kettle.

But that’s not all – the BioLite also has a USB port and generates free electricity, which you can use to charge your phone, MP3 player or speakers.

Scanadu Scout

 

 

There are plenty of gadgets that monitor your fitness. Whether they track your heart rate, blood pressure or the number of steps you’ve taken, they all give you a pretty basic view of your activity. But what about your general health?

Designed by a collective of engineers, doctors and designers, the Scanadu Scout wants to be your personal electronic GP. By pressing it to your temple, the Scout will give you an accurate reading of pulse transit time, heart rate, electrical heart activity, temperature and blood oxygenation. This info in itself isn’t particularly useful, unless you’ve been nose-deep in some medical text books for the last year, so the Scout then analyses the data and tells you if you ought to head to the nearest hospital, or not.

There’ll be an add-on too, which will check your saliva for nasty bugs like streptococcus A, influenza B and adenovirus. They’re even working on an add-on to spot pregnancy complications.

All of the above is technically possible, and the collective data gathered from everyone using a Scanadu could reveal interesting trends in the state of the public’s health. But as with any mode of self-diagnosis, you should apply common sense. Either way, doctors might have to get used to hearing patients say: “I need an appointment. Scanadu says it’s serious”.

When you look at this it looks like a ball.But the real fact is quite different.The Panono camera is a ball with 36 built-in camera in it.You throw it in the air and the accelerometer inside the camera measures the launch acceleration to calculate when the camera is at its highest point and start moving.

Then all the 36 cameras are triggered and the picture is captured.You can get a 360 by 360 degree spherical image which you can then see in the Panono apps. Images are spat out at 108-megapixels.

A very interesting product that looks like a lot of fun, with huge potential.

Chemical Scanner for Shopping

An Israeli inventor invented a tiny gadgets which allows a consumer to analyze the chemical composition of foods,drugs and other items.

The Gadgets called SCio an infrared spectrometer is being marketed for three applications-food,pharmaceuticals and horticulture,or the health of plants.Simply by pointing and clicking a miniature digital wand,users can see how many calories are in a piece of cheese or determine when a tomato will reach peak ripens.

SCio could have life saving uses such as identifying contaminated foods or determining whether a drug is counterfeit.

With the spectrometer, he said, you can just point the gadget at an item—without even necessarily knowing what it is. The device reads the item's molecular structure, matches the information to an ever-expanding database and then can send additional data to your smartphone.
