Balance disorder treated on an implantable device

Have you ever heard of Meniere's disease? It is an inner ear that about one percent of people in the United States are affected, and is a particularly debilitating disease, since the attacks of vertigo can occur without warning. In order to treat, are ordinary people or subject, for several hours at a time, before you put back on its feet. As he strikes like a thief in the night, the ever present possibility inevitably some patients avoid activities, situations, and perhaps even careers. Both changes in lifestyle and medications do their part to improve the situation, but it does not dissolve completely. Of course there is always the alternative of going under the knife, but tired in general, the results of the consultation and Functions / or balance of the affected ear. It's a good thing for the progress as a team of scientists from the University of Washington Medical Center on a new cochlear implant for their first test work on the people. The basic idea? To remove the symptoms of the patient, without sacrificing functionality in one ear.

Meniere's disease is not heard in its entirety, although his attacks are probably caused mostly by rupture of a membrane in the inner ear. This leads to leakage of the vestibular system, which is of importance, the brain out of balance to get rid of. Many thanks to the new treatment method for the implant is surgically placed in a small established temporal bone of the skull behind the ear of the patient. A trio of electrodes extend it with the right mouse button in the canals of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear. All patients have different investment spots, as it should be recognized by the various tests of the neural signal. Not only that, the patient also has a small processor with the ear, the right fit with the implant.

Whenever the wearer of an impending attack feels, is all what they need the processor can Tosend a signal to the implant that enables the transmission of electrical pulses includes the three electrodes. These pulses are to replace the disorder of the inner ear that the patient in order to keep the balance until the attack passes. Sounds very nice! This equipment has been four years in the making and recently received the green light from FDA approval.

Reduction of reality: the world is a clean, scary

I remember that Augmented Reality has been the most elegant thing, and I must admit that the reality of a different acceptance of the change development cool video in real time.

If you've heard back from actually never gone, it is a technology developed by a team of researchers at the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany, and probably the opposite of Augmented Reality.

So what? Acceptance of reality is a technology that the selected objects from video images in real time can remove. I have a video of it for the jump you can watch him in action.

See the photo of the stapler, telephone, and various other office supplies disappear from the office there? Now imagine the movement of the camera left and right, and these objects are still there.

Believe it or not, it was as simple as circular object on a screen, and then start shooting. There are many examples of this movie, and you may find that the area where things have been removed slightly blurred, like a Romulan cloaking device.

I do not know about you, but I am somewhat skeptical about the technology that makes things invisible in real time. I think that makes live news broadcasts picky about what they see, but can not be a good thing. I do not know why I always see new technologies in a dystopian feel.

New Augmented Reality System for Digital Content Expo 2010

Just when I was reporting on the amendment digital video in real time with the reality of thought ready, I do know that

This project was suspended RT2 chara AR Digital Content Expo 2010, and is augmented reality experience are very interesting three studios in three different places, some interesting videos to make. You can see after the jump.

It looks like the person who wears a motion capture suit (which looks like it in the movie Kick Ass) is at the party itself, while more technology for these effects Augmented Reality lie elsewhere. This is handy with the lady with the jellyfish.

My source calls this some kind of holodeck is possible, but I think a little premature. I mean, is not the question of a holodeck is something where a user is immersed in an unreal to be? However, it is like a way for others to see someone in a different environment, or take a look elsewhere, I suppose.

Just as it is, I can see what used in Hollywood special effects, really. Motion capture is used for a variety of CG movies, and I appreciate all that they can improve quality.

Samsung mobile X-ray machine

I remember that Will Smith movie “The Pursuit of Happyness, where he tried to sell bone density scanners.

Obviously he was in the good, because I do not remember the last time I checked my bone had a bone density scanner. I think the main character, saying he gave a reading twice as blurry as an X-ray image. However, Samsung is planning to do business in the mobile X-ray detector with the mobile x-ray.

This detector is obviously some that are connected to convert the right, the image captured on X-ray screen monitor. It would certainly be much easier for doctors to leave the office. Are not most of these large X-ray machines that take a lot of old place?

Of course, I heard that the X-rays have the whole thing in itself. Samsung claims that their portable solution X-ray is less harmful than traditional X-ray machines and can even be a more accurate diagnosis.

They also say that “the benefits of using such a device, fewer problems for patients with severe musculoskeletal pain.

I think it is a precursor to the day when we can make sure x-rays in real time. We are now pretty close, right?

The tire Portable Studio (IPS) for Photographers

I saw a portable photo studio from ThinkGeek and Hammacher Schlemmer, but this must be one of the greatest.

Welcome to Studio Portable boat (IPS), which is perfect, that those who need a little more space for photo development. It consists of a thin layer of plastic that block all outside light.

This mobile studio is available in two sizes 12 x 7 x 10 meters or 20 x 12 x 10 meters available, and you're a fan or something huge fan to have to inflate it.

It is made to look like a bouncy castle inflated, but it's not like anything you're looking children jumping up and down on the roof. I guess the “skin” should this matter be the color if would do it in this enormous photographs … Shit?

However, it is convenient to use a phone in the room that you can be isolated from the rest of the Cabinet must. I think it would be really cool there with the fan blowing.

The IPS is available for $ 330 for 12 x 7 x 10-foot version or $ 350 for version 20 x 12 x 10 meters. The fan is about $ 70 or $ 150, depending on the version of the photo shop.

The Invisible helmet, inflatable air bag

Whether you know it or not, the lady with a helmet. It is hidden in her shawl.

I know that sounds pretty incredible, like most helmets are difficult to cover the whole head. However, this helmet invisible airbag in the neck of the woman was wounded with an air tank, apparently.

There's a video after the jump you can see how it can protect. You will see how he can somehow detect a sudden impact in a few milliseconds to create the perfect shape of a helmet to the user's head.

You will see the video, like the helmet, the carrier can be protected against all kinds of dirt. Think of it designated as the airbag in the car for the head.

It is clear that some bugs to work before it is used on real people. For example, as the helmet of what an accident is real and what is fake is not without risk. In other words, it could occur at any time. Worse, he could not go when it is absolutely necessary.

Well, it's probably be a while before we could ride without a helmet traditional. Until then, I think that helmets are required for cyclists.
