Robot Printer Brings Papers To Your Desk

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The ability to print documents from a computer (or phone, tablet, whatever) is great in today’s world. But you know what, unless you have a printer right there on top of your desk, chances are you’re still going to have to get up out of your office chair to go and get your printed items. Now if you have an errand-boy or errand-girl to get your documents, that’s not a problem, but for most of us out there who aren’t so lucky, we still have to get up and walk to the printer several times a day. And while it’s great for exercise, it really cuts into the productivity after a while, and if multiple people are printing things at the same time, quite the traffic jam can happen around the printer. But what if the printer could just bring things to you after you hit the “print” button? That would solve the traffic jams, the productivity interruptions, and maybe most of all, it would just be neat to see. Well, thanks to a collaboration between Fuji and Xerox, <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28977840" style="color: #0092dd;" target="_blank">there is now a robot printer out there who will do just that</a>.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fuji Xerox created this mobile printer as a way to help keep private documents private. As we all know, when multiple people share a printer, it’s not all that hard to see what everyone else is printing, and in a legal or medical facility, things can get messy in a hurry. Have a look at Mr. Robot Printer below.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="Robot Printer Brings Papers To Your Desk" height="640" src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/77246647_fujixerox_printer3.jpg" width="640" /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The printer even has imbedded tech which helps it to avoid running into other people and/or things in the room. And, it won’t just give the documents to anyone – whoever printed must scan a special card in order to retrieve the documents. While this all sounds great to me, some don’t think the printer’s very cost effective when it comes to other printing methods.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #5f6d80; line-height: 23.310400009155273px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What do you think?

But don't expect to see the feature on the phone when the eagerly awaited model is unveiled later next month. Instead, if the company is happy with the results of the test, it will add the 4K video capture to the phone with the BlackBerry 10.3.1 update.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Like the rest of the phone, the Passport's rear camera offers some delectable specs. We are talking about a 13MP snapper with Auto Focus, Optical Image Stabilization, and an f/2.0 aperture which should allow for quality pictures in low-light situations. The camera will feature 1080p video at 60fps. The snapper has 5X digital zoom, continuous and touch to focus, and image stabilization.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">No BlackBerry has ever hit the market so well spec'd. The 4.5 inch 1440 x 1440 screen, along with the unique QWERTY keyboard, gives the BlackBerry Passport a design that you either love a whole lot, or hate. BlackBerry users in the past might have been happy with their phone for work, but many would have a second phone (an Apple iPhone or Android model) for play. We get the sense that BlackBerry CEO John Chen, believes that those purchasing the Passport won't require a second phone.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">You can checkout a 1080p clip captured by the BlackBerry Passport, by clicking on the video below.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="383" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6fcTA4pgs8A" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="680"></iframe></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">SOURCE-<a href="http://www.phonearena.com/news/Report-Update-after-launch-could-give-BlackBerry-Passport-4K-video-capture_id60004" target="_blank">PHONE ARENA</a></span></div>

Schiller is peddling a bike designed for pedaling on the water

Instead, he mounted it on a Shuttle Bike kit, which adds pontoons and a propeller to a user-supplied bicycle. Since then, Judah has been working on designing an all-in-one "waterbike" of his own. The result, the Schiller X1, was officially unveiled this month.</span></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Unlike the <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/go/2505/" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1e8dd7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Shuttle Bike kit</a> (which is designed to be carried in a backpack while the rider is cycling on land), the X1 has the "bike" built into it – it doesn’t require the addition of an existing bicycle.

Laser device detects blood glucose levels without the finger-prick

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="A new system developed at Princeton University allows diabetics to check blood glucose lev..." height="358" src="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/laser-blood-glucose-diabetes.jpg" width="640" /></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Finger-prick tests to monitor blood glucose levels can be the bane of a diabetic's life. In a move that could put an end to such tests in the future, researchers at Princeton University have developed a non-invasive way to test blood glucose levels using a laser.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Like a number of other blood glucose measuring research efforts we've seen in recent years, such as carbon nanotube "tattoos" and biochips that measure glucose in saliva, the Princeton team's method doesn't require direct analysis of a blood sample.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Instead, the new approach detects the level of blood sugar by directing a specialized laser at a person's palm and measuring the amount of absorption by the sugar molecules in the person's body. Rather than the person's blood, the laser targets dermal interstitial fluid, which has a strong correlation with blood sugar.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Instead of near-infrared light, which is used by many medical devices, the Princeton team's method uses mid-infrared light. This is because although near infrared light is not blocked by water, making it suitable for use in the human body, it interacts with a number of acids and chemicals in the skin, making it unsuitable for detecting blood sugar.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">However, the use of mid-infrared light presents its own problems – it is difficult to harness with standard lasers and requires relatively high power and stability to penetrate the skin and scatter off bodily fluid. The researchers found the answer in the form of a new type of device particularly capable of producing mid-infrared light called a quantum cascade laser.</span></div> <div class="article_img" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; height: 370px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding: 0px; width: 530px;"> <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/laser-blood-glucose-level-mesurement/33466/pictures#2" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1e8dd7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="The new monitor uses a quantum cascade laser, instead of blood sample, to read blood sugar..." src="http://images.gizmag.com/inline/laser-blood-glucose-diabetes-1.jpg" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="530" /></span></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Quantum cascade lasers boast the ability to produce one of a number of frequencies by passing electrons through a "cascade" of semiconductor layers. Recent developments have also provided increased power and stability, allowing the researchers to produce mid-infrared light with the properties required to penetrate the skin.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In testing the approach the researchers measured the blood sugar of three healthy subjects before and after eating 20 jellybeans and compared the results to measurements taken with a finger-prick test. These measurements were conducted repeatedly over a period of several weeks.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Although the laser measurement readings produced average errors larger than the standard blood sugar monitors, the research hers said they remained within the clinical requirement for accuracy. Glucose monitors need to produce a reading within 20 percent of the patient's actual level and the early version of the new system met that standard with an accuracy of 84 percent.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"It works now but we are still trying to improve it," said Sabbir Liakat, the lead author of a paper detailing the new approach.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The experimental setup the team started with took up a moderate-sized workbench and required an elaborate cooling system to work. However, they have since solved the cooling problem, allowing the laser to work at room temperature, and will now look to shrinking the device.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"This summer, we are working to get the system on a mobile platform to take it places such as clinics to get more measurements," Liakat said.

Laser device detects blood glucose levels without the finger-prick

Finger-prick tests to monitor blood glucose levels can be the bane of a diabetic's life. In a move that could put an end to such tests in the future, researchers at Princeton University have develope…
