Un hermoso concepto de control remoto creado por la compañia B&O. La idea partio a través de crear un control remoto para la cocina. Esta idea fue concebida por Joris Van Gelder. El control remoto responde a través del tacto.

Isn’t it nice to watch a sexy concept makes its first, quivering steps towards retail? You’re looking at the graduation design project of Joris van Gelder: the Remote for B&O. The idea was to create a remote control for kitchen use. As such, it’s meant to be (mostly) touchless in order to keep the remote free from bacteria or ether, depending upon your situation. The remote responds to finger gestures and lifts and falls in concert with the volume.

PTeq-USB pregnacy test es una prueba de embarazo para chicas geeks, que se realiza vía USB.

La única difeerencia entre este test y otros del mercado es que tiene en una base donde se analizan las hormonas como hCG (gonadotropina coriónica humana), H-hCG y la LH (hormona luteinizante - para la detección de la mayoría de los días fértiles) y los datos obtenidos en las muestras viajan directamente al ordenador vía USB.

Este aparato te dirá si estas o no embarazada de dos formas diferentes que superaron las rayitas de positivo y negativo; si lo estás verás la cara de un bebé en la mini pantalla y además, el software incluido te lo hará saber en tu ordenador.

Viene con 20 tiras para hacerte varias pruebas y es un 99% eficaz en sus exámenes por un precio muy conveniente, $17.99 USD.

One line or two. Yes or no. Pregnancy tests are binary by their very nature. So when we found p-Teq’s USB Pregnancy Test Kit that’s chock full of extra scientific information, we knew we had to get this geeky goodness to our potentially spawning fans.

The process starts off like most pregnancy tests. You pee on a stick, specifically the absorbent test strip at one end. But everything’s different after that first step. Remove the cap from the other end of the stick (cleverly provided to keep you from accidentally contaminating the wrong end) to reveal the USB connector. Pop it in your computer. The power from your USB port starts the electrospray ionization process, creating a spectrograph of the various masses for your analysis. Get it? Your analysis? Urinalysis? *rimshot* Moving on.

You don’t actually get to see the spectrograph yourself. The mass analysis happens inside the device. And p-Teq’s device only analyzes for specific chemical makeups, so you don’t have to worry about this thing busting you for that “poppy seed bagel” you had yesterday. The mass spectrometry software on the device comes with several sequenced hormones, including hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin), hCG-H (hyperglycosylated hCG - for detection before your first missed period), and LH (luteinizing hormone - for detection of your most fertile days). We like the fact that it does all three. After all, if you’re not pregnant and you wanna be, you need to know if now’s the time to be gettin’ it on.

While most home tests can detect a level of 15-50 mIU/mL of hCG, the enhanced methodology of the USB Pregnancy Test Kit can detect 5-50 mIU/mL, and will show you the exact concentration via its friendly onscreen interface. In addition, the LCD display on the device itself will light up and show you the symbol of a baby, no baby, or multiples and your Estimated Delivery Date based on the concentration of hCG, hCG-H, and LH in your urine. So you can clear your calendar in advance.

After you’re done reviewing your test results, just pop the device out of your computer and change the test strip. The display will remain lit for five minutes and then automatically power off. Note: We recommend the use of horizontal USB drives for this product to prevent accidental moisture transference.

Un gadget solar más para nuestra colección de cacharros ecológicos.

No requiere demasiada explicación: es un despertador y funciona con energía solar. Cuando hablamos de un año de tranquilidad nos referimos a que no sólo no hay que esperar con angustia a que entre la luz del nuevo día en la habitación antes de que el despertador deje de funcionar, sino que además nos sentiremos más seguros que con un despertador eléctrico o a pilar, ya que el Solar Alarm Clock una vez cargado funciona sin problemas durante un año entero.

The Solar Powered Alarm clock runs for an entire year on just one charge. I suppose one charge might take a few hours in the sun, but after that it can comfortably torment you for an entire year even without ever needing another charge. So even if there is a nuclear war and you managed to survive it despite the entire world being wrecked, it will still remind you in your bunker that it is time to go to work.

It is not that I hate alarm clock or maybe it is, but we all need them and this one will reduce your usage of batteries which is a good thing. You are reducing toxic waste and of course destroying that lovely early morning dream that you are having with this clock. It is available at $29.99. So if you wish to go solar with your morning beep or ding dong or whatever, then get to it right now. I have no intention of waking up too early.

Como podéis observar, básicamente se trata de un rediseño de la palanca de toda la vida: sólo hubo que modificar una de las partes para que, al tirar de la anilla, la tapa se curve, revelando el contenido de la lata con el mínimo esfuerzo. Tan sencillo, pero a la vez tan genial. El aparato cuesta unos 3 Euros.

This unique kitchen gadget is designed to give you a firm grip on ring pull cans and does not slip out of your hand easily. This can opener is extremely ideal for use by people who do not have much strength or are suffering from arthritis. This Ring Pull Can Opener is the safer, easier and cleaner way to open soup cans, pet food cans and other ring pull type cans.
