Nano Breathe Checks For Diseases

Applied Nanodetectors Ltd. (AND) from the UK is currently parading a prototype cell phone at the International Nanotechnology Exhibition & Conference that is able to detect various diseases simply by analyzing the user’s breath. The phone itself is made by Nokia, featuring AND’s chip inside that features integrated sensors which are able to detect minute traces of different gases including CO2, NOx and ammonia (NH3). Once detected, the chip will get to work by analyzing the composition of the user’s breath while tabulating the density of each gas. The results will be compared against characteristics of various diseases in order to detect whether one is possibly suffering from a certain type of disease or not. Sounds cool, but the phone is still a long way off from being commercially available.

For Active Music Listeners, the iBikeConsole

Another iPod Nano gadget integration!  This new gadget is easily fitted to your bike enabling your hands never having to leave the wheel to change your favourite tunes. And just as Nike shoes made popular,  you can also check your speed and trip distance with just one click. And then even after disconnecting, your data will be stored on the iPod so you can monitor your progress over time. The case itself provides some safety features too. Your iPod will be comfortably held in a shock-proof, weather-proof casing to prevent any damages. Your iPod will be controlled via the bikes handles bars, and as mentioned is very easy to install. All you need to do is wrap the key pads around the handlebar grips and off you go. Although your iPod will be externally controlled, your iPods battery will still be the sole supplier of power. The iBikeConsole is to retail or $76 from their site.
