2. Boardman's bike
Chris Boardman in action. The Olympic cyclist has designed
a bike of the future.
Owners of the bike, which is still being designed, won't even always have to pedal - a battery-assisted motor run by solar panels takes over if they get tired.
Plus the frame is made of carbon fibre, making the bike strong and lightweight.
3. Z Cart
Because you didn’t have enough room in your cart for everything you wanted to buy? Cry no more, the Z-Cart enables you to shop easy, calm and bring a smile on your face. The Z-Cart has been designed by Mete Mordag and he thought if you make a cart with different storage rooms, for different items it would make life easier for you. He also fitted a rechargeable scooter in the cart, which can be optionally integrated into the main body. This scooter allows you to drive the cart in the supermarket.
This scooter is equipped with stopping lights, brakes, a small digital display to show battery level and an accelerator fitted into the handle bars, just like on a real scooter. For a safe ride, the Z-Cart is fitted with infrared distance detectors in front and rear. The electric cart is intended for relaxed and rapid use, is designed this way, so the user is carried in a standing position. The supple design of the Z-Cart, has been carefully planned to fit different items. The main body, which can hold removable baskets and bags in different sizes, can be expanded when needed. If you don’t use baskets on the basket hanger,which is fitted on the top part of the cart, you can use it to hang plastic or paper bags. The features and multiple possibilities of expanding the cart, make the Z-Cart a reliable friend when going shopping.
4. Agriculture technology
Agriculture technology include plows, threshers, and irrigation systems. These forms of agricultural technology, which are all regularly used in modern agricultural settings, have a long history in agriculture and have been reinvented and redesigned many times over. Plows, for example, were originally pulled by animals. Now, plows are usually powered by engines.
5. Cochlear implant
cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. Cochlear implants are often referred to as a bionic ear.
Cochlear implants may help provide hearing in patients that are deaf due to damage to sensory hair cells in their cochlea. In those patients, they can often enable sufficient hearing to allow better understanding of speech. The quality of sound is different from natural hearing, with less sound information being received and processed by the brain. However, many patients are able to hear and understand speech and environmental sounds. Newer devices and processing strategies allow recipients to hear better in noise, enjoy music, and even use their implant processors while swimming.
6. Pulse oxymeter
What is a pulse oximeter and how does it function? It is actually a medical device that indirectly measures the oxygen saturation of a patient’s blood and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmograph. It is often attached to a medical monitor so staff can see a patient’s oxygenation at all times.
A pulse oximeter is a particularly convenient noninvasive measurement instrument. Typically it has a pair of small light-emitting diodes (LEDs) facing a photodiode through a translucent part of the patient’s body, usually a fingertip or an earlobe. One LED is red, with wavelength of 660 nm, and the other is infrared, 905, 910, or 940 nm.
A pulse oximeter is useful in any setting where a patient’s oxygenation is unstable, including intensive care, operating, recovery, emergency and hospital ward settings, pilots in unpressurized aircraft, for assessment of any patient’s oxygenation, and determining the effectiveness of or need for supplemental oxygen. Although a pulse oximeter is used to monitor oxygenation, it cannot determine the metabolism of oxygen, or the amount of oxygen being used by a patient.
Because of their simplicity and speed, pulse oximeters are of critical importance in emergency medicine and are also very useful for patients with respiratory or cardiac problems, especially COPD, or for diagnosis of some sleep disorders such as apnea and hypopnea.
7. Modern bathroom
Planning and designing a modern bathroom could take as much thought and effort as you would the entire house. Okay, I may be exaggerating, but it is just that a lot of people are very particular with how their toilets and bathrooms look and function because they spend a lot of time in them, like in the morning and before they retire at night.
Toilets and baths are no longer just places where you wash yourself. These are now places of comfort where you sometimes get dressed, style your hair, and just prepare yourself before you go out of the house or retire for their night. With all these needs, you need to have enough contemporary bathroom lighting as well as a lot of electric sockets so that you can conveniently plug your electric and electronic gadgets when you need them.
Your modern lighting for the bathroom should include bright lights when you need them, like styling your hair, applying your makeup, or shaving. But you should also have dim lights when you just want to relax and unwind inside your bathtub at the end of a stressful day. You just might want to have some scented candles handy — that would be nice source of aroma.
8. Water filter
During the 19th and 20th centuries, water filters for domestic water production were generally divided into slow sand filters and rapid sand filters (also called mechanical filters and American filters). While there were many small-scale water filtration systems prior to 1800, Paisley, Scotland is generally acknowledged as the first city to receive filtered water for an entire town. The Paisley filter began operation in 1804 and was an early type of slow sand filter. Throughout the 1800s, hundreds of slow sand filters were constructed in the UK and on the European continent. A slow sand filter was constructed and operated at Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1893 due to continuing typhoid fever epidemics caused by sewage contamination of the water supply.
In the 1800s, mechanical filtration was an industrial process that depended on the addition of aluminum sulfate prior to the filtration process. The filtration rate for mechanical filtration was typically more than 60 times faster than slow sand filters, thus requiring significantly less land area. The first modern mechanical filtration plant in the U.S. was built at Little Falls, New Jersey for the East Jersey Water Company. George W. Fuller designed and supervised the construction of the plant which went into operation in 1902.
9. Glucometer
Having received European CE Mark approval in September, Cellnovo out of London, UK has launched its diabetes management system that looks like a smartphone system, but is actually an integrated glucometer, wirelessly connected insulin pump, activity monitor, and cell phone-based data transfer system to share readings with family and clinicians.
To kick off the release of the system, Cellnovo launched a usability trial involving type 1 diabetics whose doctors will be able to monitor their blood glucose levels in real time as they’re being measured.
Co-trialist, Dr Mark Evans of Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, commented, “This technology represents a entirely new model for the management of diabetes and one that could be of direct and long-term financial benefit to the NHS. The effective management of diabetes requires masses of information. The more information we have, and the more rapidly we have it, the better job we can do of using our resources efficiently to prevent the devastating long-term complications of diabetes. The Cellnovo system is the world’s first both to automate and deliver instantly the information we need – a task achieved through the thoughtful and thorough integration of consumer technology, such as wireless and cellular, with medical sensor and precision pump technologies.”10. Sphygmomanometer
Co-trialist, Professor Stephen Greene of the University of Dundee added, “The Cellnovo system provides us immediate access to the clinical status of all our patients on a single screen. With accurate and current information we can identify and address problems immediately that, otherwise, might go unnoticed for months, contributing to excess cost and potentially tragic patient complications. In this clinical trial we will be the first to explore these new opportunities in diabetes patient management and hope to uncover new ways to improve and extend care, optimise workflow and drive cost efficiencies.”
