Google files patent for wearable medical device

Google has filed a patent application for a wearable medical device, able to use nanoparticles to detect and treat illnesses such as cancer. For those wishing to protect their health and extend their lifespan, a futuristic medical device may become available in the next several years. Details of this wearable technology – known as a Nanoparticle Phoresis – have been published online by Google, via the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The patent application describes a strap, or band, mounted on the lower arm. Similar in appearance to a wristwatch, it would "automatically modify or destroy one or more targets in the blood that have an adverse health effect." This would be achieved by beaming energy into blood vessels to stimulate cells and molecules, increasing their effectiveness at fighting diseases. It could even be used on synthetic nanoparticles. Millions of these tiny objects would be introduced into the wearer's bloodstream, then activated by magnets in the wristband and directed to specific locations. In addition to its physical treatment abilities, the Nanoparticle Phoresis could generate vast amounts of data – not only helpful to the user, but also to researchers and doctors. It could accept inputs from the wearer regarding his or her health state, such as "feeling cold," "feeling tired," "pollen allergy symptoms...

Apple paves way for creation of 3D, interactive images from handheld devices

Apple has patented a device display that uses lasers, micro lenses and sensors to create a 3D "holographic" image as well as detecting how a user interacts with it in real time, according to Apple news feed and forum Apple Insider. The "Interactive holographic display device" would allow a 2D display panel to create a 3D, interactive image, which Apple presumably intends to deploy in devices such as iPhones and iPads. The system would generate multiple views of an on-screen object from various viewing angles with lenses deflecting laser light.  Apple Insider reports that single finger gestures would turn or move the image, while pinch gestures would change the size. Finger speed would also have an impact on turning or moving the image.  The patent was filed for in February 2011.

Apple seeking patent for interactive 3D display

Apple has filed a patent application for an Interactive 3D display system which would allow users to manipulate objects in mid-air. The system involves light being projected through a non-linear crystal, for example, which would convert the signal into a floating 3D image that users could interact with. A sensor assembly logs user input such as touches and swipes to manipulate image. According to the document filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the system would consist of four main parts, beginning with the display creating a primary 3D image. The optical system within the unit would create a secondary 3D image based upon the first one which the user would interact with. A sensor system would gather information on the user’s interaction with the secondary 3D image and the display would then update the primary image based on user interaction feedback. How far the system has been developed since the patent was filed two years ago is unclear, but it shares many features Vermeer - with a 360-degree viewable tabletop display created  by Microsoft Research in 2011. With non-interactive holographic displays are already creating a buzz in the retail sector as a new era in digital signage, the creation of an interactive model is the next logical step.

Scientists change the colour of gold

In a breakthrough, scientists have for the first time found a way to change the colour of the world's most iconic precious metal – gold. Researchers from the University of Southampton have discovered that by embossing tiny raised or indented patterns onto the metal's surface, they can change the way it absorbs and reflects light - ensuring our eyes don't see it as 'golden' in colour at all. Equally applicable to other metals such as silver and aluminium, this breakthrough opens up the prospect of colouring metals without having to coat or chemically treat them. This could deliver valuable economic, environmental and other benefits. The technique could be harnessed in a wide range of industries for anything from manufacturing jewellery to making banknotes and documents harder to forge. "This is the first time the visible colour of metal has been changed in this way," said Professor Nikolay Zheludev, Deputy Director of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre, who led the project. "The colours of the objects we see all around us are determined by the way light interacts with those objects. For instance, an object that reflects red light but absorbs other wavelengths will appear red to the human eye," Zheludev said in a statement. "This is the fundamental principle we have exploited in this project. By...

Energy-dense biofuel from cellulose close to being economical

A new Purdue University-developed process for creating biofuels has shown potential to be cost-effective for production scale, opening the door for moving beyond the laboratory setting. A Purdue economic analysis shows that the cost of the thermo-chemical H2Bioil method is competitive when crude oil is about $100 per barrel when using certain energy methods to create hydrogen needed for the process. If a federal carbon tax were implemented, the biofuel would become even more economical. H2Bioil is created when biomass, such as switchgrass or corn stover, is heated rapidly to about 500 degrees Celcius in the presence of pressurized hydrogen. Resulting gases are passed over catalysts, causing reactions that separate oxygen from carbon molecules, making the carbon molecules high in energy content, similar to gasoline molecules. The conversion process was created in the lab of Rakesh Agrawal, Purdue's Winthrop E. Stone Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering. He said H2Bioil has significant advantages over traditional standalone methods used to create fuels from biomass. "The process is quite fast and converts entire biomass to liquid fuel," Agrawal said. "As a result, the yields are substantially higher. Once the process is fully developed, due to the use of external hydrogen, the yield is expected to...

Russia develops revolutionary treatment for burns

© Photo: «Vesti.Ru» Russian scientists have developed revolutionary treatment for burns. Experts at the State University in Saratov have invented a unique material based on chitosan which quickly restores the skin after exposure to high temperatures. The innovative product is a bio-polymer fibre, which has been artificially developed using chitosan that is contained in the shells of crustaceans. The unique properties of this substance have long been known to scientists. However, attempts to make a dressing material on its basis have ended in failure until recently. The advantage of this material is unlike an ordinary bandage, it reduces time needed to treat burns by three times and leaves no scars. The nano-bandage soaks up all liquid that discharges during the healing of an injury. There is no need to replace or remove it. It reabsorbs itself. Moreover, this is an excellent antiseptic that destroys microbes in the wound, says chief medical officer at the Saratov Burn Centre Professor Nikolai Octrovsky. “The dressing treats, stimulates, lies on the tissues without adhering. There is no need to replace it and consequently, the patient does not feel any pain caused by the removal of scabs when using ordinary dressing material. This is a new dressing material with unique properties. It is like a cover of seedlings....

Apple “iWatch” Arriving In 2013

Apple’s stock has recently fallen by almost 30%, down from an all-time high of $703 in late 2012. Despite recording phenomenal earnings, Apple investors are becoming sceptical of Apple’s future plans. Apple is losing their gross margin on the products they sell as components become more expensive and competitors in the industry push Apple to lower their prices. A new report has outlined Apple’s plans to introduce a smart watch in 2013 which would help reintroduce high margins into Apple’s product categories, thus satisfying investors. Oliver Chen, an analyst for Citigroup, has told reuters that Apple has a “$6 billion opportunity” where they could recreate the success of the iPod; reinvent a market that already exists and make it desirable to the general public. In 2013, the entire watch industry is expected to generate $60 billion, which would enable Apple to catch 10%, equivalent to a gross profit of $3.6 billion. Margins on watches are also much higher, with some manufactures getting up to 60%; the iPhone currently nets Apple a 55% margin. Apple is reported to have a 100-person team working on their “iWatch”, which may replace some of the tasks making currently carried out by the iPhone and iPad. Also Apple is considering the ability for the smart watch to place calls, identify the person an incoming call,...

Smartphone airbags could make 'cracked screens' a thing of the past

London, December 17 (ANI): It can cost you a lot if your mobilephone screen cracks after you accidentally dropped it, but help is at hand. Amazon has invented an airbag for smartphones. The innovative technology makes use of the motion-sensors that are now built into most smartphones to detect when it has entered an airborne state, so that a mini-airbag can be deployed to cushion its fall. Amazon has won a patent for the protective system this week. As well as mobile phones, the technology could be used on electronic readers, including the online retailer's own Kindle, as well as computer tablets and cameras. Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, filed the application for a patent himself. The application reads "Prior to impact between a surface and a device, a determination of a risk of damage to the device is made. If the risk of damage to the device exceeds a threshold, a protection system is activated to reduce or eliminate damage to the device." The airbag would draw on data from a mobile phone's built-in gyroscope, camera, accelerometers and other such sensors, according to the patent. Then, if it is determined that the gadget has been dropped, the technology will trigger the release of airbags and could even include air-jets to change its trajectory in mid-air. (ANI).

Bionic eye good to go:artificial retina receives FDA approval

Screen Shot On Youtube Video The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted market approval to an artificial retina technology today, the first bionic eye to be approved for patients in the United States. The prosthetic technology was developed in part with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The device, called the Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System, transmits images from a small, eye-glass-mounted camera wirelessly to a microelectrode array implanted on a patient's damaged retina. The array sends electrical signals via the optic nerve, and the brain interprets a visual image. While the Argus II is a major breakthrough in retinal  prosthetics, researchers are continuing their research. This third-generation retina chip, itself still very early in the development stage, contains 1,000 electrodes and was developed by Wentai Liu, a professor of bioengineering at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and his colleagues. Early engineering done by Liu and his team was licensed to Second Sight for the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis  System. The FDA approval currently applies to individuals who have lost sight as a result of severe to profoundretinitis pigmentosa (RP), an ailment that affects one in every 4,000 Americans. The implant allows some individuals...

Now, flying tricycle to soar above rush-hour traffic

A man from Aurora, Texas, has built a revolutionary vehicle that allows him to take off into the sky and cruise over miles of traffic jams. The motor-tricycle - called the super sky cycle - has a 582cc engine and a three-blade 68-inch propeller, the Daily Mail reported. The vehicle can fly at 35mph, land in 20ft of space and has a top land speed of 65 mph. It has a 5 hour flight time without refueling and requires a pilot's license to fly. Larry Neal, of The Butterfly Aircraft LLC, has just been awarded a US Patent to build the vehicle on a large scale and sell it to the general public. The project has been in development for many years but hit a stumbling block as Neal could not figure out what to do with the propellers once the vehicle landed, the report said. However, Neal overcame the problem by making them foldable - allowing the vehicle to be driven on regular roads, it added.

A Tool To Decode Baby Talk

Credit: Lancaster University First ever UK based language tool to decode baby talk A tool which could radically improve the diagnosis of language delays in infants in the UK is being developed by psychologists. A £358,000 grant to develop the first standardized UK speech and language development tool means that for the first time, researchers will be able to establish language development norms for UK children aged eight months to 18 months. The tool will plug an important gap which has left UK researchers, education and health professionals at a disadvantage. Until now, UK language experts have been forced to rely upon more complicated methods of testing child language development, or on methods designed for American English speakers which can lead to UK babies being misdiagnosed as being delayed in language development. The two-and-a-half year project funded by the ESRC will also look into the impact of family income and education on UK children’s language development, as well as examining differences between children learning UK English, and other languages and English dialects. The project is expected to make a major contribution to language development research as well as to the effectiveness of speech and language therapy and improved policy making. Researchers are keen to hear from parents with children under 18 months...

Chinese Medicine Yields Secrets Of Chang Shan Herb

Credit: Image courtesy of the Schimmel lab. Atomic mechanism of 2-headed molecule derived from Chang Shan, a traditional Chinese herb, is shown in unprecedented detail The mysterious inner workings of Chang Shan—a Chinese herbal medicine used for thousands of years to treat fevers associated with malaria—have been uncovered thanks to a high-resolution structure solved at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). Described in the journal Nature this week, the structure shows in atomic detail how a two-headed compound derived from the active ingredient in Chang Shan works. Scientists have known that this compound, called halofuginone (a derivative of the febrifugine), can suppress parts of the immune system—but nobody knew exactly how. Scripps Research Institute scientists have determined a molecular structure that helps explain how the Chinese herbal medicine Chang Shan works. The new structure shows that, like a wrench in the works, halofuginone jams the gears of a molecular machine that carries out "aminoacylation," a crucial biological process that allows organisms to synthesize the proteins they need to live. Chang Shan, also known as Dichroa febrifuga Lour, probably helps with malarial fevers because traces of a halofuginone-like chemical in the herb interfere with this same process in malaria parasites, killing...
