Before the only ones that were typically able to toy with radar were police officers with bulky radar guns. Now you can have your own radar system, except this kind won’t weigh you down. You can tuck it away in your pocket and take it out whenever you’re in dire need of a device to clock the speed of something. It’s not limited to cars either, you can even track the speed of a baseball thrown by one of your buddies.
The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute’s research team are pretty happy with their Best Heated Gloves after conducting extensive side-by-side tests using carefully controlled variables. Each pair is capable of producing a maximum temperature of 148.9 degrees F, which is over 50 degrees F warmer than its competitors, hence the “Best” title in its name. Its ability to produce heat across “all of the fingers,” this pair also scored highest for comfort. Some of the features include a very soft interior and undetectable wires.
Other superior features include Thinsulate insulation that helps retain heat, a breathable membrane that keeps hands dry, and a leather palm for a confident grip. An adjustable wrist enclosure and a zippered cuff seal out snow and cold. The 4-oz. battery pack slips into a pocket on the cuff and adjusts to four power levels with just a touch. Heats for two to 10 hours on a full charge from the AC charger depending on power setting.
Expect to fork out $199.95 for a pair of The Best Heated Gloves this coming winter. Chances are you’ll love it after donning a pair!
Emergencies and accidents are often unexpected, and can prove to be fatal if there is insufficient information concerning the victim available during the rescue process. After all, when one is severely injured in an accident, stricken by an allergic reaction, or impaired by a stroke, heart attack or seizure, how can your important health and medical information be relayed to first responders? Short of carrying highly personal stacks of health records and lists of prescriptions that you are currently on wherever you go, how about storing everything onto the new 911 Medical ID? The 911 Medical ID is the thinnest USB medical information storage device in the world on the market at the moment, and it sure beats copying health information onto form after form by hand at your local doctor’s office, eh?
LG Electronics has dipped their fingers into the interactive advertising market by targeting both the hospitality and lodging industries with their special LCD HDTV monitors that are touted to enhance just about any kind of environment. After all, with buildings getting larger and larger each time in an effort by corporations and countries to outdo one another, finding your way around can be quite the tedious task. LG Electronics’ model M4714T not only offers enhanced customer service but also modernize hospitality spaces, while their range of slim stretch screens (going by model numbers M3800S-BN and M2900S-BN) which are around half the height of a traditional monitor, commercial settings including hotel gift shops and restaurants are able to take advantage of digital signage by maximizing the amount of space available, even if it is a tight fit.
This next device is odd, to say the least, but I can see how it would come in handy. There is a video of it after the jump if you want to see it in action, but it won’t make sense without a little bit of explanation.
Here’s how it works. You begin with a “light source” that is really a database of some information, like the New York Times, for example. This source is placed on a table that is probably best described as a Microsoft Surface (but isn’t).
This source shines a light with visible particles that essentially contains all the information of on that database. From there, the user can physically place a “prism” that filters out all the information except a certain subject. That subject can be pre-determined by the user by a jog wheel.
Recyclable laptops made of paper could be popular in the future, and good for the environment.
Our friends at Yanko are working overtime again trying to come up with environmentally friendly electronics which won’t pollute our landfills. And this time they’ve come up with a recyclable paper laptop. That’s right. A paper computer which can be thrown away once it’s no longer wanted or needed. Considering Moore’s Law means computing power doubles about every 18 months, a disposable laptop may be a good idea. Here’s the thinking …
Dads who are thinking about what to surprise kids with this coming Christmas might actually end up getting the PicoZ Heli Mission for themselves (using their kids as an ulterior motive so that the wife can approve of the gifts budget).
This groundbreaking R/C mash up combines the thrill of helicopter flight with the excitement of driving a SWAT truck. Wow! It might look like a stealthy brute of a vehicle – and it is – but this macho truck features a cavernous cargo bay that opens up, upon your command, to reveal a fully-functioning micro helicopter sitting on an auto-elevating launchpad. Incredible! It’s like Thunderbirds meets Airwolf with a highly Hasselhoffian touch of 80s folly thrown in for good measure. Both precision-engineered machines are controlled via a single transmitter with smart shoulder buttons that allow you to switch seamlessly between truck and chopper.
It will take some fair bit of hand-eye co-ordination to keep on alternating between the two as you plan an imaginary assault on the enemy base. One thing though – what happens when the helicopter is in mid-air and you switch over to the truck? Will it just hover there until the subsequent instruction? Guess you’ll need to fork out £59.95 to find out!
