I know my tummy is getting bigger as spending too much time sitting in front of the computer and drinking my favourite Foster beer. But I’ll always give myself excuses such as having no time to go for sit-up exercise to keep my tummy in good shape. Here comes the USB exercise dog, a cute gadget that could be a good reminder to tell me it’s time to tone up my tummy.The USB exercise dog is purely a toy to keep you amused. Once plugged into your computer’s USB port, it’ll keep doing the sit-up exercise. But, too bad is it’s neither a WiFi dongle nor a USB flash drive. Perhaps, the manufacturer shall think of including any of these functions or both in the next version. It’s simply a good reminder for those really need a tummy tone-up workout!

philips-xenium-99j-super-long-battery-life-uses-standard-aaa-batteries-020308.jpg

 Have you ever wanted a handphone that does not run out of batteries. No way you are going to get one unless it is solar powered and even so I am not so sure when it will be made available. But here is one that runs on normal AAA batteries. So when your power is low just go to the nearest 7/11 and get yourself that needed power.

Philips’ latest handset - Xenium 9@9j, which they have demoed at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is also another mobile phone that has excellent battery life, which can last more than a month on standby, similar to other Philips cellphones in the 9@9j series. Besides, the long battery life, the cellphone can use standard AAA battery as the alternative power source. This is a great idea, as AAA batteries can be easily obtained from any grocery shops while your phone is running dry of battery during emergency.

Actually, the Philips Xenium 9@9j does not operate on the AAA battery. It uses advanced power management technology that makes use of the standard AAA battery as a backup only to lengthen the life of its Li-Ion battery, which is the battery used for its operation. Once the Li-Ion battery is running out of juice, the standard backup AAA battery will start kicking in and feeding the Li-Ion with power so your phone operation will not be interrupted.

The single AAA battery can boost the talk time and standby time from 2 hours to 8 hours and one week to a month respectively.

Another great product of nano technology that makes it possible to squeeze many millions of super nano-sized solar antennas on a solar panel, which can effectively transform 80% of solar energy into usable energy. Most commercial grade solar panels are said to be able to transform only 20%-40% of solar energy into usable energy. The new solar panel, which the researchers are working on, depends on nano-scaled antennas, having over 10 millions of them clammed into a 6-inch circle to effectively collect sun light.

Breast Cancer Early Detection Gadget

This is surely the great news for the ladies and I think that I will surely pass on this info to BabyOpus and NannyJoe and ask them to put up a short writeup on this info as well.. A Smart Bra has been invented by Prof. Elias Siores, which makes use of thermography to detect little changes in temperature of the breast tissue to early find out the possibility of breast cancer before it spreading into surrounding areas. When tumors start to grow, there is a demand for higher blood flow. As a result, temperature will rise which signifies the initial stage of cancerous growth.

smart-bra-to-early-detect-breast-cancer-141007.jpg

The Smart Bra will be equipped with a microwave antennae system, which can easily be woven into fabric. This super tiny atennae will be able to pick up any abnormal change in temperature in the breast tissue. The Smart Bra will also be incorporated with audible and visual alarms, which will emit two warnings to the wearers, audible or visual or both.

Some experts are worrried of the accuracy, which could result many false alarms, as they claim benign growths and nonmalignant inflammatory changes might also increase blood flow that would cause temperature rise too. Anyway, this is surely a great invention, at least there is something to warn you that something unusual is happening in your breasts and you must see the specialist if the warning persists. Prof. Elias Siores is the director of the Centre for Research and Innovation at the University of Bolton in the United Kingdom. I would say that this Professor should in some certin sense be receiving an outstanding ovation for such a find and creation. Always thinking about the health issues of the human kind. By the way isnt the picture great.

Here comes the Fetal Doppler, a gadget that lets you amplify the heartbeat of the baby inside your womb so you can listen clearly to his or her little heartbeat anytime you want, without having to visit a doctor.

To use it, just plug in any or the included 3.5mm headphones or earphones to the device and attach the device on your stomach then you can listen to the heartbeat of your little baby. Besides, you can record it down to share with others. Anyway, this device is only legal in the EU, it’s restricted in the US unless order by physician. Do check out of your local laws before thinking of getting one.
