Wireless chip-on-a-band-aid to monitor patients from home
Wireless chip-on-a-band-aid to monitor patients from home - Engadget
UK startup Toumaz Technology is bringing band-aids into the 21st century with a new technology that can remotely monitor patients. The solution involves a custom mini-chip with a 5-7 day battery, with built-in 800-900MHz wireless and a price as low as $5 a pop when the disposable patch is released next year. The chip is designed to relay data from sensors such as electrocardiogram, a three-axis accelerometer, blood glucose, ph-level and blood pressure monitors. Consumers will be able to wear the patch at home, and hopefully a Lisa Frank version will be soon in the making.

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus
Students for Concealed Carry on Campus - ConcealedCampus.com
Every day millions of licensed Americans legally carry concealed handguns in movie theaters, office buildings, shopping malls, banks, churches, etc.
Numerous studies show that concealed handgun license holders are five times less likely than non-license holders to commit violent crimes.
Campus "gun free zones" may make some people feel safer, but as recent events demonstrate, feeling safe is not the same as being safe.

THESE ROCK!! (birthday idea)
Wiley X JP-2 Light Adjusting Sunglasses - Sunglasses and Eye Protection
| ||
These light adjusting lenses darken on bright sunny days to shield the eyes from harmful Ultra Violet rays. On overcast days or at night the lenses adjust to clear for perfect optical clarity. Now you don't have to stop to interchange lenses. This new technology is also produced using shatterproof polycarbonate. This is much different than the old photochromic lens technology that use glass and CR-39, which can shatter if struck by a rock while riding. Wiley X has also incorporated the new Emerald 4 anti-reflective coatings to eliminate back-lit glare from the sun or car headlights truly giving the wearer the most functional riding lens available. |

(Credit: Crave Asia) Even before full-HD reaches mainstream, the Japanese government is already embarking on an ambitious joint project to develop the next-generation high-definition TV system. Dubbed Super Hi-Vision or 8K, this new visual technology boasts 7,680x4,320-pixel or 33-megapixel clarity. That's 16 times the resolution of today's 1080p panels and a fourfold enhancement over the latest commercial 4K displays. The latter, in fact, is barely making its presence felt in Asian cineplexes with Spiderman 3 being one of the first 4K movie releases.
Japan's communication ministry is expected to inject 300 million yen ($2.7 million ) into research and development, leading up to a scheduled 8K broadcast as early as 2015, Engadget says. But the real question is whether there's a need for such resolution on our average 40- to 50-inch TVs. Perhaps everyone will have a 100-incher in their living room by then.
| Format | Resolution | Pixel count | Pixel count |
| Standard definition | 720 x 480 | 345,600 | 0.3 |
| High definition | 1,280 x 720 | 921,600 | 0.9 |
| Full high definition | 1,920 x 1,080 | 2,073,600 | 2.1 |
| 4K | 4,096 x 2,160 | 8,847,360 | 8.8 |
| 8K / Super Hi-Vision | 7,680 x 4,320 | 33,177,600 | 33.2 |
