LED Lights
Point Shoppers in the Right Direction
Published: January 26, 2012. Penn State
Looking for an item in a large department store or mall can be
like searching for a needle in a haystack, but that could change
thanks to a hybrid location-identification system that uses radio
frequency transmitters and overhead LED lights, suggested by a team
of researchers from Penn State and Hallym University in South Korea.

Georgia
Tech Turns iPhone into SpiPhone
Georgia Institute of Technology
It's a
pattern that no doubt repeats itself daily in hundreds of
millions of offices around the world: People sit down, turn on
their computers, set their mobile phones on their desks and
begin to work. What if a hacker could use that phone to track
what the person was typing on the keyboard just inches away?

Temperature
Tracking Device for Packages May Have Climate Metrology
Applications
National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers are
working to reduce the uncertainty associated with
climate-change measurements using a mobile temperature-sensing
technology made for tracking delicate or perishable,
high-value packages in transit. Developed by international
shipper FedEx and tested with help from NIST, the device
connects to cell phone networks to provide users with near
real-time information on the package's precise location,
temperature, humidity, pressure, acceleration, elevation and
exposure to light. … |

Boxing
Game to Win Health Fight
University of Teesside
Sedentary middle-aged
men on Teesside in the North East of England could soon be
using a high-intensity exercise video game to improve their
health. For researchers at Teesside University have developed
an alternative to the Nintendo Wii which doesn’t allow users
to cheat. Now they plan to put it to the test by getting
middle-aged members of workingmen’s clubs to take part in
‘virtual’ boxing matches with a computer-generated
opponent. |

'Guide
Vests' - Robotic Navigation Aids for the Visually
Impaired
University of
Southern California
For the visually impaired, navigating
city streets or neighborhoods has constant challenges. And
most such people still must rely on a very rudimentary
technology—a simple cane—to help them make their way through a
complex world. A group of University of Southern California
engineering researchers is working to change that by
developing a robot vision-based mobility aid for the visually
impaired. A design first shown a year ago is now being further
developed. |

Researchers Use Motion Sensors to Determine Equine
Lameness
University of
Missouri-Columbia
The most common ailment to affect a horse
is lameness. A University of Missouri equine veterinarian has
developed a system to effectively assess this problem using
motion detection. This system has been referred to as
"Lameness Locator." |
