Smart Fabrics for diagnosis: Hospital visits are now going to be fun

No matter how many tireless hours we spend at the gym, we all fall ill, don’t we? We all have that moment of physical weakness no matter how robust our systems are isn’t it? But don’t we just hate being all tied down with all sorts of diagnostic elements while at the hospital?

While staying diagnosed at the hospital is inevitable, you might heave a sigh of relief if you could lay your hands on what those researchers up there from Arkansas have developed. Well, if you’re still wondering what it is, they’ve tailored an outfit that can monitor a patient’s respiration rate and body temperature in real time and send it to a server such that problems when noticed can be immediately acted upon. They integrated organic semiconductor and electrical-engineering into smart fabrics garments with wireless technology. Read more

音乐笔 mp3 播放器：音乐“新”面貌

在复制和非直觉发明家唱主角的今天(个人观点) ,克里斯威廉斯音乐笔MP3播放器的概念, 可能像一个银色的衬里. 给我的感觉便是：令人耳目一新的新产品从设计,柱形提供更多屏幕空间,MP3播放器制造商该好好考虑一下了. 我的指的是c’mon，就是那些小屏幕液晶屏mp3制造商. 他们总是做那些看上去很复杂但是又不实用的东西. 我的意思吧,你可以把它设计成像一把吉他,一个笔记本电脑或马桶座, 但是,如果用户需要用显微镜才能浏览菜单，谁会说它是一个很好用的东西呢? 我个人认为,这个就做得不错. 滑顺而且很吸引人,MP3播放器就应该做成一个容易携带和实用的东西.转动或者滑动播放器的每边，就可以选用菜单和调节音量. 好消息是,它终于被确定成为了新的标准而且全世界的MP3厂商能够以这个为目标来努力达到. 坏消息是,这个真正的创意和伟大东西尚未找到制造商。 虽然如此,我们还是很喜欢这个好东西，不过肯定将是一个漫长的等待.

Beaucoup plus longue que les batteries utilisées

Accordé toute son attention aux piles à combustible (fuel cells), et Toshiba a profité de cette opportunité pour parader avec son Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) qui servira à alimenter divers appareils via le port USB d’ici une année. Les piles à combustible sont plus efficaces que les batteries lithium-ion, et c’est de bon augure pour les téléphones portables qui ont des fonctions de plus en plus gourmandes en énergie. De plus, ne craignez pas de polluer la terre, car les piles à combustible ont une durée de vie beaucoup plus longue que les batteries utilisées aujourd’hui.

Online-Werbung: Yahoo kauft Right Media

Der Kampf um den Werbemarkt im Internet wird härter: Nach Googles Übernahme von Doubleclick baut jetzt auch Yahoo seine Position im Online-Anzeigenmarkt weiter aus. Der Internetkonzern kauft den Werbeprofi Right Media für 680 Millionen Dollar. Yahoo, neben Google und Microsoft der dritte große Betreiber von Suchmaschinen, hat den Werbevermarkter Right Media komplett übernommen. Der Preis betrage 680 Millionen Dollar, teilte der Konzern am Montag mit. Yahoo hatte bereits im Oktober für 45 Millionen Dollar eine Beteiligung von 20 Prozent an Right Media erworben. Das Unternehmen bietet eine Auktionsplattform für Internet-Werbeplätze und verfügt über eine Technologie, mit der Anzeigenkunden in Echtzeit für Werbeplätze bieten können. So will Right Media gezielte Werbung für eng umrissene Gruppen ermöglichen, wie sogenannte soziale Netzwerke. Yahoos größter Rivale im Internet-Werbemarkt, Google, hatte seine Position im Online-Anzeigenmarkt erst kürzlich durch den Kauf des Werbeunternehmens Doubleclick gefestigt. Google zahlte damals 3,6 Milliarden Dollar.
