Typical heaters are made very simple with a resistance that generates heat but can be complex to control. For example, see the design picture for a temperature controlled fan. There has to be a sensing element which needs to send an input to the control processor or element which in turns needs to regulate the…

To really understand molecular function and structure, it would be great to have molecules that you can rotate in 3D as well as see and feel with your hands. This has been traditionally possible only…
Look at the picture of the bridge with graffiti. There have been significant effort that has gone into making a mark on the bridge – not just the cost of paint, application cost and also substantial risk to mark at locations that look very dangerous. So why do people do it ? One obvious reason…

Pedro Lopes from MIT has been doing some fantastic work on combining image sensing and providing feedback to the human. Typical VR (Virtual Reality) setup’s are problematic because though user can see things they cannot feel it. Pedro is using electrical stimulation to provide feedback as this video shows: {youtube}OcSmCamMKfs{/youtube} But take that a step…
What is the value of simplicity? Take the Apple store as an example. Not too many places to sit and browse but just simple table in the center and then devices off to the side. Of course there is the glass front which enables everything to be seen. But imagine creating a medical device…
Hospital corridors are boring Why are hospital corridors boring? The patients could do with a little knowledge while they wait or even some entertainment.

The Prize4Life foundation is hosting a hackathon and to help people prepare it has written out specifications very clearly. 1. Emergency communication: Refining the Microsoft GazeSpeak application Creating a faster way for communicating a few words in emergency situations Improving the alarm system activating in case of Bipap failure 2. Speech devices: Building a dual…
