Curved mobile phones on their way?
Mobile phones have come in all manner of different shapes and sizes over the years. Standard candy bars, clamshells, sliders, swivel designs - even odd origami-like multi-twisty phones. One thing all these different phone types have in common, though, is flatness. The fascia of the phone is always completely flat, largely because the screen itself has to be flat.
Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, the NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be , for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the user’s arm. Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode.

Wireless Power
Wireless Power:
A team of Japanese researchers has created a novel wireless power-transmission device that is thin, flat, and flexible. Based on a sheet of plastic, the device can be put on desks, floors, walls, and almost any other location, delivering power to electronics placed on or near it without the use of cables or connectors.
A small Christmas tree lights up when placed on the power sheet. The electrical components are deposited onto the plastic via state-of-the-art inkjet printing technology using “electronic ink.” The finished product is about one millimeter thick and 21 centimeters square, although power sheets large enough to cover entire walls or floors could potentially be created.
The sheet can deliver up to about 40 watts, enough to power light bulbs and small electronics (cell phones, clocks, etc.) equipped to accept wireless power. The sheet has an impressive 81 percent efficiency, meaning 81 percent of the emitted power is received by devices.
“This power-transmission sheet addresses two of the issues facing the electronics field: creating ecologically friendly power systems and developing power-transmission technologies that further the imminent trend of 'ambient electronics' – electronic networks, such as sensors, built into our homes and offices to increase our day-to-day security and convenience.
” The sheet is an example of “organic electronics,” a fast-growing field in which circuits are based on conducting plastics rather than conventional silicon. Organic electronics have several advantages, including being cheaper to manufacture, more environmentally safe to produce, physically light, and, as in this case, are often thin and bendable.
However, many organic electronic devices can only be integrated into low-power applications because organic transistors have high electrical resistances and cannot handle large amounts of electricity. By combining organic transistors with a technology traditionally used to fabricate silicon circuits.
The finished product consists of several layers. These include a layer printed with an array of thin, flat copper coils, which sense the position of nearby electronic devices, and a layer of sender coils that deliver the wireless power. This process occurs via electromagnetic induction, a physics phenomenon in which a magnetic field can induce a current in a nearby conductor. Here, a voltage applied across the sender coils produces a magnetic field, which induces current flow in nearby devices that need power, as long as those devices are equipped with receiver coils.

USBCell charges
USBCell charges:
We all know what a pain it can be to run out of batteries on the go, rendering our digital camera useless at the most inopportune of moments
Moixa Energy has just released a product that will make the NB-mate a bit less necessary: USB rechargeable AA batteries. The USBCell is a little AA wonder that has a removable cap at the positive end that reveals a standard USB connector. Simply plug this battery into a powered USB port and it recharges all on it’s own without the need to carry an extra power adapter/charger with you.
The manufacturer claims the USBCell take about 5 hours to charge to 90% capacity, and that “Charging for just a few minutes provides extra hours of instant use for most input devices.” The batteries are standard 1.2v 1300mah NiMH rechargeables and can even be charged using common AA NiMH battery chargers if you can’t spare any USB ports or happen to have an NB-Mate.

Sony-glucose-battery :
Have problems with electricity and recharging your batteries? You would not have those problems if you were using Sony's Bio battery that converts sugar into electricity. This would be a perfect solution for replacing ordinary batteries. It is not a very powerful gadget yet but as technology develops we will be getting more and more powerful units.
Sony has unveiled a prototype battery that converts sugar into electricity. But how does it work? All you need to make it work is sugar solution in each cell of the battery. There enzymes break it down that generates electricity. Then the electricity is being collected and directed to your device. The four cell (1.5 " each cell) battery gives 50 milliwatts of power which is enough to power an average digital MP3 player.
This is a wonderful replacement for usual batteries because it can produce electricity in places where there is no civilization. You will not take a bag of batteries with you when camping, however you can take a small bag sugar with you to power up your media gadget.

Mobile-microwave :
Here's a microwave that's not only mini, it's actually designed to work in your car, so you can heat up pop-tarts or nuke some links while you drive to work
You power it through your 12V cigarette lighter socket (produces 175W of power) or directly from your car battery (produces 660W).
Maplin, a UK electronics retailer (think Radio Shack), is selling a microwave that runs on 12 Volt DC power (produces 175W of power) directly from your car battery
It's meant to be plugged into your car's cigarette lighter, which means you'll be able to heat up your burritos, cold pizza, or even ramen noodles while you careen down the highway at 80-miles-per-hour. I suppose a microwave in the car could be useful if you're someone who regularly takes long road trips and would rather heat up your own homemade lasagna than eat rest stop fare. Or if you're a huge picnic fanatic who has to have food served really, really hot, which can't be achieved with silly little thermoses. Or you want to make your own hot, organic popcorn for the movie theatre minutes before you go in.
Just in case your lighter socket is malfunctioning or you're in need of a little extra juice to nuke that frozen TV dinner, Maplin built in the ability to hook this baby up directly to your car battery.

Digital-menu
Digital-menu:
Wireless digital menu system allows you to order food without human contact.I knew a couple of people who would love this idea - ordering food from a menu by using a wireless digital pen to scan barcodes, which then sends your order to the restaurant's kitchen without your having to speak with anyone. The Deli Touch pen by Taraoka is essentially a camera that reads barcodes embedded in the pictures on a menu and sends them to a printer in the kitchen where the order is filled.
Of course, without a robot, a human being would be necessary at some point to actually bring the food out to you, no? Then there's the pesky business of having to pay for the food, though I would think that could easily be automated too. If this idea catches on, think of the whole new industry that could develop to serve the socially phobic.

md2-pill-dispenser
md2-pill-dispenser:
With the vast amount of pills that we are taking every single day, it can be quite tough to remember the entire schedule. Before or after meals? Once or twice a day? Do we take it in the morning, or just before we get to bed? It definitely requires a lot of brainpower keeping track of all that, which is wht the MD.2 Pill Dispenser was created to help eliminate all the mentioned problems. This unique device is a pill dispenser that features a voice alarm to nudge you into taking your pills at the appropriate time, ensuring you won’t forget even a single dose.
The MD.2 Pill Dispenser is not only capable of delivering medication up to six times in a single day, it will even call the caregiver via regular landline or cellphone if the medication was not consumed within the stipulated time. With 60 medication cups inside, you only need to reload the MD.2 monthly. The voice alarm is accompanied by a flashing light so unless you’re both deaf and blind, the chances of you missing a dose is extremely slim.
Anyone could make use of the MD.2 Pill Dispenser, from working adults and their list of multi-vitamins and anti-oxidants to the ageing society who have plenty of medication to consume, from high blood pressure medicine to aspirin among others.
While I’m not particularly keen on the idea of popping pills for every little ache or pain I understand for some people it’s not really an option, particularly as we grow older. If someone in your care currently has a daily regiment of medication they need to take but you’re worried they may not always remember then an automated dispenser like the MD.2 might be one way to go.
The Monitored Automatic Medication Dispenser can be loaded with any type of pills or capsules and uses small plastic reusable cups to deliver the medication. With a twice a day delivery interval the MD.2 can operate for up to a month before it needs a refill but can also be set to deliver medications up to 6 times a day as needed. But I think the feature caregivers will be most interested is the MD.2’s built-in reminders alerting the patient that medication has been dispensed. These include a loud voice alarm, a text reminder and a flashing light that can be customized for messages such as ‘take with food’.

Light Therapy
Light Therapy :
Today our lifestyles are causing us to fight what Mother Nature intended for us by living in the dark.Most of us are light deprived and we are paying for it with our health. We spend the majority of our day working indoors with little or no bright light and then rush home to spend more time indoors to read, watch television, use the computer, listen to music, or exercise. Even when we do get out in the sun we wear dark sunglasses to protect us from harmful UV light, but in doing so, we block the beneficial rays from the sun.
What does it mean to be light deprived?
The following are the common signs that you are not getting enough bright light in the beneficial wavelengths:
• Depressed Mood
• Low Energy
• Irritability
• Difficulty Concentrating
• Carbohydrate Cravings
• Social Withdrawal
• Reduced Libido
• Trouble Sleeping
What is bright Light Therapy?
Bright light therapy involves the regular (usually daily) exposure to a bright light source. Treatments typically involve an artificial light source of accepted therapeutic intensity, with exposure duration of a set period and distance from the light source.
How does bright Light Therapy work?
Research indicates that individuals who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) are affected by light, which plays a major role in the secretion of melatonin. Melatonin is a natural hormone made by your body's pineal gland. This is a pea-sized gland located just above the middle of the brain. During the day, melatonin levels are barely detectable in individuals who don't suffer from S.A.D.
When light hits your eye, the retina transmits impulses to your body clock, located in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus regulates sleeping, eating, body temperature and libido.
Clinical research shows that the wavelengths of light emitted by The Litebook® may assist in regulating the body's melatonin levels. It also boosts a feel-good neurotransmitter (serotonin), which makes you feel content and energized.
Is bright Light Therapy safe?
Bright light therapy has been extensively researched at leading institutions worldwide for over 25 years. Most people experience no side effects; however, some individuals may experience minor side effects (headaches, eye strain, occasional nausea) that tend to disappear after the first few days of exposure.
What is LUX and why is wavelength important?
LUX is the measurement of intensity of a light source. Traditional thinking has held that an individual must receive bright light therapy of an intensity of >2500 LUX in order to gain the benefits of improved mood, increased energy, and better sleep. However, recent research has shown that it may be more important to receive light therapy of optimal wavelengths in order to combat the symptoms of winter blues and S.A.D. as well as of many sleep-related and circadian rhythm disorders. The Litebook® emits a sufficient intensity of light peaking in the critical wavelength range (with no UV) but also emits some light in other wavelengths to produce a natural white light and increase eye safety.
What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.)?
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a medically recognized sub-type of major depression. It is characterized by abnormal mood episodes that occur at the same time of year on a regular basis. SAD is more common in the winter months, though Summer SAD has also been diagnosed. Winter Blues is the common name for sub-syndromal SAD. A typical person with SAD may experience some of the following: excessive tiredness, weight gain, social withdrawal, depressed mood, irritability, difficulty concentrating, carbohydrate cravings, and decreased libido (sex drive).
What is the difference between Winter Blues and S.A.D.?
SAD is a form of seasonal depression that commonly occurs during autumn and winter, though summer SAD also occurs. The Winter Blues is a milder form that affects up to 25% of people. Though the symptoms are fewer and less severe, the Winter Blues often cause a decrease in energy and enthusiasm, abnormal tiredness, a desire to sleep more than usual, and a craving for foods high in sugar and carbohydrates.
What is Body Blues?
The Body Blues is not a severe mood disorder but a type of mild depression that affects approximately one in three women. Women with Body Blues can feel happy and may not find their work or home life is affected, however they often feel tired, tense, or irritable. Many women with the Body Blues tend to eat too much and not get enough exercise because of their low energy. Someone with Body Blues will have three or more of the following: Low Energy, Overeating, Weight Gain, Tension and Irritability, Sleep Difficulties, Difficulty Concentrating, Mild Anxiety, Mild Depression or Decreased Interest in Sex.
What is Jet Lag?
Jet lag, or dysrhythmia, occurs when the body clock is not synchronized with an air traveler's new time zone, causing a disruption of more than 50 physiological and psychological rhythms. Studies show that jet lag worsens with age, particularly after 50. Until recently, jet lag was dismissed as merely an unpleasant side effect of air travel. New research suggests that it also causes memory loss, shrinkage of parts of the brain, and negative side effects on blood pressure.
How does the human body clock work?
The human body clock is a complex internal mechanism that serves to regulate our body's functions over time. It is controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a tiny cluster of nerve cells in an area of the brain known as the hypothalamus. This body clock helps regulate breathing and heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, hormone production, and other vital bodily functions.
How do I shift my body clock?
Our body clock responds to a variety of cues in our environment, the strongest of which is light. A pulse of sufficiently bright light at the appropriate time will move (or phase shift) our body clock forward (phase advance) or back (phase delay). As importantly, a period of appropriately timed light-avoidance i.e. total darkness will enhance the phase shift forward or back.
What other conditions benefit from Light Therapy?
Research has shown light therapy may have benefits for various circadian rhythm sleep disorders, Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS), Bulimia Nervosa, Alzheimer's Disease (through regulation of sleep patterns), Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson’s, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), adult ADHD and non-seasonal Major Depression. Research into these conditions is ongoing at major institutions worldwide. Remember that The Litebook Company will be your source for breaking news on this research. Click here to learn more.
Can children benefit from Light Therapy?
The issues of light deprivation can affect all age groups. Teenagers and the elderly can also benefit from light therapy to help regulate their body clock which tends to shift forward or backward during those periods in our lifecycle. Click here to learn more.
Does The Litebook® give me vitamin D?
No. The visible range of light emitted by The Litebook® does not produce vitamin D in the body. UV light is needed for vitamin D production.
Today our lifestyles are causing us to fight what Mother Nature intended for us by living in the dark.Most of us are light deprived and we are paying for it with our health. We spend the majority of our day working indoors with little or no bright light and then rush home to spend more time indoors to read, watch television, use the computer, listen to music, or exercise. Even when we do get out in the sun we wear dark sunglasses to protect us from harmful UV light, but in doing so, we block the beneficial rays from the sun.
What does it mean to be light deprived?
The following are the common signs that you are not getting enough bright light in the beneficial wavelengths:
• Depressed Mood
• Low Energy
• Irritability
• Difficulty Concentrating
• Carbohydrate Cravings
• Social Withdrawal
• Reduced Libido
• Trouble Sleeping
What is bright Light Therapy?
Bright light therapy involves the regular (usually daily) exposure to a bright light source. Treatments typically involve an artificial light source of accepted therapeutic intensity, with exposure duration of a set period and distance from the light source.
How does bright Light Therapy work?
Research indicates that individuals who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) are affected by light, which plays a major role in the secretion of melatonin. Melatonin is a natural hormone made by your body's pineal gland. This is a pea-sized gland located just above the middle of the brain. During the day, melatonin levels are barely detectable in individuals who don't suffer from S.A.D.
When light hits your eye, the retina transmits impulses to your body clock, located in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus regulates sleeping, eating, body temperature and libido.
Clinical research shows that the wavelengths of light emitted by The Litebook® may assist in regulating the body's melatonin levels. It also boosts a feel-good neurotransmitter (serotonin), which makes you feel content and energized.
Is bright Light Therapy safe?
Bright light therapy has been extensively researched at leading institutions worldwide for over 25 years. Most people experience no side effects; however, some individuals may experience minor side effects (headaches, eye strain, occasional nausea) that tend to disappear after the first few days of exposure.
What is LUX and why is wavelength important?
LUX is the measurement of intensity of a light source. Traditional thinking has held that an individual must receive bright light therapy of an intensity of >2500 LUX in order to gain the benefits of improved mood, increased energy, and better sleep. However, recent research has shown that it may be more important to receive light therapy of optimal wavelengths in order to combat the symptoms of winter blues and S.A.D. as well as of many sleep-related and circadian rhythm disorders. The Litebook® emits a sufficient intensity of light peaking in the critical wavelength range (with no UV) but also emits some light in other wavelengths to produce a natural white light and increase eye safety.
What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.)?
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a medically recognized sub-type of major depression. It is characterized by abnormal mood episodes that occur at the same time of year on a regular basis. SAD is more common in the winter months, though Summer SAD has also been diagnosed. Winter Blues is the common name for sub-syndromal SAD. A typical person with SAD may experience some of the following: excessive tiredness, weight gain, social withdrawal, depressed mood, irritability, difficulty concentrating, carbohydrate cravings, and decreased libido (sex drive).
What is the difference between Winter Blues and S.A.D.?
SAD is a form of seasonal depression that commonly occurs during autumn and winter, though summer SAD also occurs. The Winter Blues is a milder form that affects up to 25% of people. Though the symptoms are fewer and less severe, the Winter Blues often cause a decrease in energy and enthusiasm, abnormal tiredness, a desire to sleep more than usual, and a craving for foods high in sugar and carbohydrates.
What is Body Blues?
The Body Blues is not a severe mood disorder but a type of mild depression that affects approximately one in three women. Women with Body Blues can feel happy and may not find their work or home life is affected, however they often feel tired, tense, or irritable. Many women with the Body Blues tend to eat too much and not get enough exercise because of their low energy. Someone with Body Blues will have three or more of the following: Low Energy, Overeating, Weight Gain, Tension and Irritability, Sleep Difficulties, Difficulty Concentrating, Mild Anxiety, Mild Depression or Decreased Interest in Sex.
What is Jet Lag?
Jet lag, or dysrhythmia, occurs when the body clock is not synchronized with an air traveler's new time zone, causing a disruption of more than 50 physiological and psychological rhythms. Studies show that jet lag worsens with age, particularly after 50. Until recently, jet lag was dismissed as merely an unpleasant side effect of air travel. New research suggests that it also causes memory loss, shrinkage of parts of the brain, and negative side effects on blood pressure.

USB PRODUCTS
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a popular hardware interface that allows users to attach secondary hardware devices to their computer in a Plug-and-Play fashion.
Today just about every PC comes with Universal Serial Bus, or USB ports. In fact, many computers will even have additional USB ports located on the front of the tower, in additional to two standard USB ports at the back. In the late 1990s, a few computer manufacturers started including USB support in their new systems, but today USB has become a standard connection port for many devices such as keyboards, mice, joysticks and digital cameras to name but a few USB-enabled devices. USB is able to support and is supported by a large range of products.
The introduction of USB ended many of the headaches associated with needing to use serial ports and parallel printer ports. USB offered consumers the option to connect up to 127 devices, either directly or through the use of a USB hub. It was much faster since USB supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps for disk drives and other high-speed throughput and 1.5Mbps for devices that need less bandwidth. Additionally, consumers can literally plug almost any USB device into their computer, and Windows will detect it and automatically set-up the hardware settings for the device. Once that device has been installed you can remove it from your system and the next time you plug it in, Windows will automatically detect it.

MASSAGE MACHINE
Get In Shape At Home and Lose Bodyweight :
The best form of home gym exercise fitness equipment to lose bodyweight is some form of cardio equipment. Some examples of home gym cardio equipment are treadmills, stairmasters, and exercise bikes. To use home gym fitness equipment to lose bodyweight, you should use it at least three times per week for thirty minutes at a time. If you do this consistently, you should see the weight melt off of you. Of course, you should also eat a healthy, well balanced diet to ensure that you're getting all the vitamins and minerals you need. In addition, you should drink at least eight to ten glasses of water per day.
How it Works:
This equipment uses Whole Body Vibration to create instability in the user's body. With each vibration, the muscles in the body are forced to perform reflexive, contracting muscle actions anywhere from 25 to 50 times per second. The contractions must work in multiple dimensions as the power plate oscillates on all three planes, much like the human body is designed to do. The end result is a tough workout in a fraction of the usual time, increasing overall strength and power.The way that whole body vibration works is best explained by the law of motion, as stated by Sir Isaac Newton: force = mass x acceleration. In other words, by applying more mass or more acceleration the body, one can increase and improve functional force (strength, power, etc).
What this equipment does to you:
1. Consume the unwanted fat on hip. On waist and on abdomen by vibration and massage. Therefore, polish the skin and reshape the body.
2. With age growing, detrimental stuffs like cholesterol, calcium will depositin in the vein and tighten the interior diameter and stiffen the vein which often ensue high blood pressure and anoxemia even coronary heart disease. Frenquent vibration by CFM spurs circulation of blood therefor spread the vein and dissolve the detrimental stuffs with metabolism and finally evacuate them.
3. Improve conductive ability of nerve cells, regulate the neural system and mitigate neurasthenic.
4. Refresh you by simulating intestine and cure constipation by massage the points according to ancient chinese medical theory.
5. Keep fit without burden and better constitution and enhance immunity by enhancing local circulation of blood.
This not for everyone:
While whole body vibration is ideal for helping speed up the recovery process, it is not recommended for those with recent wounds from an operation or surgical intervention as the motion may loosen stitches. It is also not recommended for those with recently fitted IUDs, metal pins, coils, bolts, or plates. Pregnant women as well as those with Epilepsy, severe diabetes, synthetic/artificial joints, tumors, and pacemakers should avoid the powerplate as a form of exercise. If you are unsure as to whether or not the equipment is safe for you, check with your doctor before using
Battery Desulfator
Battery Desulfator
Battery sulfation takes place when a Lead Acid Battery discharges. The lead from the plates combines with the electrolyte (dilute sulphuric acid) to make lead sulfate. When the battery is recharged this process is reversed however, some of the lead sulphate will crystalise on the lead plates. The deeper the battery is discharged, the more the lead sulphate is likely to crystalise acting as an insulator and reducing the plate area in contact with electrolyte. Over time this build up of lead sulphate crystals will kill the battery.
The lead sulphate crystals are firmly attached to the lead plates and so it is not easy to remove them and recondition a battery. As more and more crystallisation occurs, the voltage required to shift the crystals also increases. But, if you were to put high voltage through the battery it would overheat and potentially explode. However it is possible using high voltage pulse conditioning to dissolve the lead sulphate back into the electolyte. By pulsing the high voltage, only the sulphate crystals are affected and the battery does not heat up.
Every lead acid battery has a resonant frequency if around 2 to 6 megahertz. If a pulse of sufficient energy electricity is sent into a lead acid battery, rhythmic beating of the plates will cause the crystalline deposits to be broken up and the sulphate returned to the electrolyte solution. This process can take a matter or weeks during which time the battery must be trickle charged (in parallel with the desulphator).
Patented PULSE technology increases the duty and life cycles of any size or type of 12-V lead-acid battery by minimizing the size of the lead sulfate crystals. This allows a battery to accept as much charge as possible. PULSE technology helps ensure that your new batteries will stay in like-new condition while older batteries often improve dramatically. Duty cycles are typically extended from three to five times for all types of lead-acid batteries! Xtreme Charge is ideally suited for AGM and maintenance-free batteries (from less than 10 Ah to over 150 Ah). The combination of patented pulse technology and proprietary charging algorithm typically allows it to charge these high-performance batteries more fully. It also maintains a safe charge profile for traditional batteries including flooded, fill and charge and gel.
Benefits
• Prevents dead batteries by keeping batteries in like-new condition all the time
• Helps batteries charge faster and maintain greater reserve capacity so they can provide maximum power to your vehicles and accessories
• Renews dead batteries suffering from sulfation buildup and helps bring them back to life
• Increases battery life span up to three times longer
• Connects right to your battery and works 24-hours a day when plugged in, plus it will NEVER overcharge your battery
• Works with all conventional flooded lead-acid batteries and sealed “maintenance-free” batteries, including Valve Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA), Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) and gel cell.
• Safe, reliable and weatherproof

If a pulse of sufficient energy electricity is sent into a lead acid battery, rhythmic beating of the plates will cause the crystalline deposits to be broken up and the sulphate returned to the electrolyte solution. This process can take a matter or weeks during which time the battery must be trickle charged (in parallel with the desulphator).
Patented PULSE technology increases the duty and life cycles of any size or type of 12-V lead-acid battery by minimizing the size of the lead sulfate crystals. This allows a battery to accept as much charge as possible. PULSE technology helps ensure that your new batteries will stay in like-new condition while older batteries often improve dramatically. Duty cycles are typically extended from three to five times for all types of lead-acid batteries! Xtreme Charge is ideally suited for AGM and maintenance-free batteries (from less than 10 Ah to over 150 Ah). The combination of patented pulse technology and proprietary charging algorithm typically allows it to charge these high-performance batteries more fully. It also maintains a safe charge profile for traditional batteries including flooded, fill and charge and gel.
Benefits
• Prevents dead batteries by keeping batteries in like-new condition all the time
• Helps batteries charge faster and maintain greater reserve capacity so they can provide maximum power to your vehicles and accessories
• Renews dead batteries suffering from sulfation buildup and helps bring them back to life
• Increases battery life span up to three times longer
• Connects right to your battery and works 24-hours a day when plugged in, plus it will NEVER overcharge your battery
• Works with all conventional flooded lead-acid batteries and sealed “maintenance-free” batteries, including Valve Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA), Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) and gel cell.
• Safe, reliable and weatherproof
Compressed Air Vehicle
Compressed Air Vehicle World’s Cleanest Car:
To drive the world’s cleanest car is no longer wishful thinking. The Compressed Air Vehicle is the first affordable and accessible clean car. It brings us our dream: to drive pollution-free and free of fuel dependency. At Lower Speeds: Since the Compressed Air Vehicle is running exclusively on compressed air, it emits only air - zero pollution. The air expelled from the tail pipe is actually cleaner than the air used to fill the tank. This is because before compression, the air is run through carbon filters to eliminate dirt, dust, humidity, and other urban air impurities that could hamper the engine’s performance. At Higher Speeds: At speeds over 35mph the Compressed Air Vehicle uses small amounts of fuel–either gasoline, propane, ethanol or bio fuels–to heat air inside a heating chamber as it enters the engine. This process produces emissions of only 0.141lbs of CO2 per mile. That is up to 4 times less than the average vehicle and more than two times less than the cleanest vehicle available today. (Toyota Prius 07 Emissions: 0.34 lbs of CO2 per mile)
The Compressed Air Vehicle is designed to make a major difference in urban areas especially, where motor vehicles are the single largest contributor to ground-level ozone, a major component of smog. Each year, the cars we drive emit millions of tons of pollutants, contributing heavily to global warming and acid rain. Only a clean technology that is affordable to the many can slow down and eventually - when a critical mass is reached on a global basis - reverse this lethal evolution.

Spoon Scales
Spoon Scales: The Intelligent Spoon
We’ve finally reached the age. This is the age when you don’t have to guess what measure you have in your spoon. Let the spoon tell you itself. I mean, read it straight from the LCD of the spoon, be it grains, powder or liquid.
This Spoon Scale is simple and precise as it exactly weigh even the tiniest amounts down to the last 1/10 gram.
The LCD display (36 x 15mm/11/2? x 2/3?) is easy to read, shows the exact weight down to 0.1g (0.005oz) and can be switched from grams to ounces. With option to weigh added ingredients. After use, hang your space-saving Spoon Scales on your utensil rail or place them within reach in a drawer.
Spoon made of black ABS plastic, handle in 18/10 stainless steel. Measures 23 x 5 x 2.5cm (9? x 2? x 1?) (L x W x H). Weight approx. 90g (3oz) including batteries.

Thermoelectric Products
How does a thermoelectric module work?
Thermoelectric modules are solid-state heat pumps that operate on the Peltier effect ( A thermoelectric module consists of an array of p- and n- type semiconductor elements heavily doped with electrical carriers. The array of elements is soldered so that it is electrically connected in series and thermally connected in parallel. This array is then affixed to two ceramic substrates, one on each side of the elements (Figure 1).
Electrons can travel freely in the copper conductors but not so freely in the semiconductor. As the electrons leave the copper and enter the hot-side of the p-type, they must fill a "hole" in order to move through the p-type. When the electrons fill a hole, they drop down to a lower energy level and release heat in the process. Essentially the holes in the p-type are moving from the cold side to the hot side. Then, as the electrons move from the p-type into the copper conductor on the cold side, the electrons are bumped back to a higher energy level and absorb heat in the process. Next, the electrons move freely through the copper until they reach the cold side of the n-type semiconductor. When the electrons move into the n-type, they must bump up an energy level in order to move through the semiconductor. Heat is absorbed when this occurs. Finally, when the electrons leave the hot-side of the n-type, they can move freely in the copper. They drop down to a lower energy level and release heat in the process.
What are the advantages of a thermoelectric unit over a compressor?
Thermoelectric modules have no moving parts and do not require the use of chlorofluorocarbons. Therefore they are inherently reliable and are virtually maintenance free. They can be operated in any orientation and are ideal for cooling devices that may be sensitive to mechanical vibration. Their compact size also makes them ideal for applications that are size or weight limited where even the smallest compressor would have excess capacity. Their ability to heat and cool lends them to applications where both heating and cooling is necessary or where precise temperature control is critical.
Typical applications for thermoelectric coolers include:
Laser diodes
Laboratory instruments
Temperature baths
Electronic enclosures
Refrigerators
Telecommunications equipment
