Unusual but by no means awkward, these special blinds developed by Japan-based company Tokyo Blinds claims to be able to absorb sound. Known as Feltone, the blinds can absorb sound and push down power noise by up to 60%.






These latest tech, Feltone blinds look any ordinary blinds but can be used on windows or walls without any special modifications. Tokyo Blinds says installation takes about two hours, with their solution costing up to 90% less than soundproof panels.

If you do most of your work while commuting or if you travel a lot, sometimes there’s a need to scan certain documents, and since you cannot carry that big scanner with you at all time, why don’t you use a USB Portable Mini Scanner?

When we talk about China, usually there is a degree of preassumption about the Chinese copying one thing or another from other countries, but not this time. The Shenzhen Huashi Future Car-Parking Equipment have come up with a concept bus and I quote a “3D Express Coach” which will help relieve some of the traffic congestion that are often experienced in busiest parts of their cities. The concept is like no other. It will enable cars to literally drive under it.

It is 4-4.5 m high with two levels: passengers board on the upper level while other vehicles lower than 2 m can go through under. Powered by electricity and solar energy, the bus can speed up to 60 km/h carrying 1200-1400 passengers at a time without blocking other vehicles’ way. Also it costs about 500 million yuan to build the bus and a 40-km-long path for it, only 10% of building equivalent subway. It is said that the bus can reduce traffic jams by 20-30%.

Think of the actual bus as like a skytrain on a tramline. One thing is for sure, this bus won’t get in your way and it won’t look anything like the buses you’ve seen in any other country and drivers can be sure to feel disorientated when they drive under it, much like driving through a tunnel. Check it out in the video below, translation can be found just beneath it thanks to the folks at Chinahush…

This tilt lens effect is usually possible with the help of tilt lenses which are usually pretty costly. Such effects give the image the look of toy scale model.

As wireless devices develop and get smaller, we are seeing some interesting achievements when it comes to medicine. Today we have a special monitoring patch for patients, so let’s have a closer look at it.

It is called epidermal electronic system and it has same stiffness, bending rigidity, thickness, and mass density as our very own epidermis. The purpose of this device is to be mechanically invisible to the patient, while sending healthcare related information such as heart rate and temperature to your physician wirelessly. Since this device is being patched to your skin, it is designed so it resembles human skin as much as possible. As for the electronic sensors, they have been embedded in a film that is thinner than a diameter of a human hair, and it is placed on a polyester backing. This means that sensors will stick to your skin at all times, while being extremely flexible as a part of your skin.

21^st century has proved to be a remarkable journey in terms of technology and gadgets. In fact, the seeds were sown in two centuries back with the industrial revolution. Since then science has kept reinventing things and today life has become much easier and comfortable. Things no more moves at languishing pace and time is now counted in terms of nano-second. The one word that is ruling the roost is convergence. Now, you see mobile phones acting as camera and computer functioning as TV. We keep coming across the news of new inventions on a daily basis. Communication and commerce have been greatly benefitted by advent of technology. In fact, business world would not have reached the advance stage where it is today without the help of technology. Many new industries have flourished solely on the basis of speed of technology. World has truly become a global village with the aid of technology.

Tablet computers have been around for quite a while. They are a very specific niche market. The Apple iPad did not exactly break ground with the concept. However, they did break ground by having a massive array of applications readymade to utilize a tablet computer. As well as this, it was also able to handle 3G connections for roaming Internet virtually anywhere you can get a 3G signal (in later models). While it may be cheaper for someone to just buy a notebook – and give you some greater functionality – it may not be as user friendly or accessible for some people.

The Apple iPad has a very specific niche market. You are not required to be technologically savvy in order to use it. In fact, if you have an Apple iPhone or use a similar touch screen enabled phone then the learning curve in learning to use the Apple iPhone will be non-existent. The Apple iPad is a device that is better suited to people who need or want to use mobile computing as well as have the opportunity to use the Internet anywhere without hassle. A good example of how the Apple iPad can be a great mobile computing device is for people who have limited space to carry a notebook while traveling and still want to be connected to their email, various entertainment options and a machine in which they can use to work.

As you probably know, Robonaut 2 was sent by NASA to space station last year, so it could help astronauts with lifting heavy objects, and since then, we haven’t heard any news about it, until now. Well, if you’re fan of robots and Robonaut 2, you’ll be pleased to know that Robonaut 2 has its own twitter account, @astrorobonaut, that currently has more than 43, 000 followers, and they are constantly being updated about  R2’s activity in space. As for Robonaut 2, it was designed to demonstrate how dexterous robots could work in weightless environment, and it will eventually be upgraded so it can leave the space station and assist other astronauts on space walks.

You probably know that on-screen keyboards aren’t ergonomical as actual physical keyboards, but in addition to the ergonomical problems, on-screen keyboards are also slower than regular keyboards because you can’t rest your hands on them, and you have to check every key before you press it. Luckily, there’s a solution called LiquidKeyboard.
Christian Sax and Hannes Lau from the University of Technology Sydney have developed a new type of on-screen keyboard called LiquidKeyboard. Unlike other on-screen keyboards, LiquidKeyboard adapts to the position of your hands and fingers, so your hands won’t feel uncomfortable while using it. The best thing about LiquidKeyboard is that all keys adjust to the position of your fingers, so you won’t have to check twice before pressing a certain key, meaning that you could type as fast as you would type on a regular computer keyboard.
LiquidKeyboard is designed for all users that are used to the standard physical keyboard, and if you have a tablet, LiquidKeyboard will be perfect for you. LiquidKeyboard was revealed recently at the Tech23 conference in Sydney, but so far, it’s only a concept, but we can’t wait to see it in action on our tablets.
