GM Hy-Wire Concept

GM Hy-Wire is touted as the first drivable concept to combine a hydrogen fuel cell with by-wire technology. On the inside, you'll find "a single unit called X-drive that is easily set to either a left or right driving position" - allowing steering, braking, and other functions to be controlled electronically rather than mechanically. The body used in the Hy-Wire accentuates what is possible with GM's skateboard chassis. The driver has an unobstructed view of the road ahead with no engine to see over. Essentially, the diver has an view from floor to ceiling.

Microbot Motors Designed To Swim Through The Human Bloodstream

Researchers from the Micro/Nanophysics Research Laboratory at Australia's Monash University are working on microbot motors designed to swim through the human bloodstream. This tiny motor would be able to power a probe swimming through blood to make current methods of minimally invasive surgery such as keyhole surgery safer and more effective. With the right sensor equipment attached to the microbot motor, the surgeon's view of, for example, a patient's troubled artery can be enhanced and the ability to work remotely also increases the surgeon's dexterity.

Timeless Garden - A Clock Which Is Powered By Mother Nature

This concept called Timeless Garden by designer Francesco Castiglione Morelli and Tommaso Ceschi used the power of the “chemistry between mud and metal” to power a digital clock. Shaped like a small plastic planter, you fill the clock with dirt, plant seeds and add a little water and you’ve now got a self-powered clock. I think this is brilliant work. No batteries nor are there any hidden plugs behind to connect to power source.

Laser hair removal involves a laser being directed at a hair follicle on your body. The laser is flashed on the hair follicle and heats up the root of the hair to eliminate it. The heat also has a positive effect on the follicle and you body will begin to process that it does not need to reproduce hair in that area after regular treatments. Typically treatments begin in regular two-week intervals and lessen to monthly and eventually one or two treatments a year may be all that is needed to maintain the results. All skin types can be treated by laser hair removal systems because the heat of the laser can be adjusted based on the patient.

Kia Soul'ster

The Soul'ster is a concept by Kia and this 2-door 4-seater with a removable roof is clearly aimed at young folks who spend their free time hanging out at the beach. The car itself was touted as an "efficient front-drive car rather than an aggressive off-roader". The interior is designed for comfort and roominess, and features cantilevered seats that jut from the center console rather than being bolted to the floor. The rear seats fold forward to provide cargo space. Features such as the roll-up window handles, rather than being downplayed or hidden, accentuate the funky overall design.

Talk Perfume

Are you interested in knowing about the personality of any person in just a single glance? This post would suggest you many useful tips which will help you to know a person better even if it is your first meaning. In this post, I will focuses on the personality of the person as can be expected from his choice of perfumes he is using. Your choice of using a perfume would suggest your outer personality to the people around you. A person who is always using a strong perfume is generally assumed to be very aggressive. While a calm person generally uses a very mild perfume only. So you see that even your choice of perfumes can reveal so much about your personality. And therefore you must be very careful while using a perfume. Even the occasion matters a lot. Like if a person uses a very strong perfume for a business meeting or an interview then it would definitely give a very bad impression. It would simply suggest that the person has got no sense.

Perfumes and fragrance have become a new fashion statement today. Especially the youth today is going crazy about it. They need different flavors at different occasions. They have a different perfume sets for each days. Perfumes play a vital role in your life. You can recognize a person from his perfume's smell. You get used to its smell. In the fast running world, using perfumes have become a necessity rather than a fashion. No one would like to sit besides you because of your body odour. It gives a negative impression about you. Thus it is better to use perfume than to spoil your personality. It does not mean that you need to empty your pocket just so that you can smell good. Even cheaper and good perfumes are available in the market. So just choose a perfume which suits your personality and not to just show that you have spent your salary in buying just a single perfume. Perfumes are not meant for showing off your lavish life style. They are meant to just give a positive impression of yours. Any one meeting you should not make a wrong impression of yours.

Thus, as we see that perfumes have become almost indispensable part of our life. We cannot even imagine walking into a meeting or party without them.

Pentax Binoculars 8x43 DCF SP

by : Terry Ross

The DCF SP 8x43 Pentax binoculars are smooth, well balanced, ergonomically designed and beautiful to handle, an excellent match for far more expensive top quality binoculars. If you don’t have £1,000+ to spend and you want high performance superior optics encased in a beautiful lightweight but rugged body then take a serious look at the Pentax DCF SP 8x43’s.

The image quality is amazing, I picked up the DCF SP 8x43 Pentax binoculars expecting a good quality viewing but was pleasantly surprised with the brightness and clarity of the image. The roof prisms are top quality high-refraction Bak-4 and phase coated and like all top quality binoculars the Pentax DCF SP’s come with fully multi coated lenses. Pentax use their own specially formulated lens coating which has been proven to deliver exceptionally bright, high contrast images (according to the brochure) and, in my opinion these binoculars stood up to the hype. I was particularly impressed at how well they performed against my all time favourites, the Swarovski 8.5x42 EL’s which are considerably more expensive.

I was impressed with the speed of focus which for me is an important feature that always influences my buying decision and being able to focus as close as 2mtrs was an added bonus. The eye relief is exceptionally good at 22mm (for the DCF SP 8x43 Pentax binoculars), the ‘twist up’ eye cups are comfortable and easy to use and the exit pupil is 5.4mm, all features that make these Pentax binoculars ideal for spectacle wearers. I did think the attached objective lens covers would prove to be irritating but I was wrong, they hang discretely below the binoculars and don’t get in the way.

The body of the DCF SP Pentax binoculars is fairly compact and exceptionally lightweight (695g) for full size binoculars due to its magnesium-alloy body. They are covered in dark green rubber armouring, which not only makes them exceptionally robust but also comfortable to hold.

As you would expect of a top quality binocular the Pentax DCF SP’s are waterproof (JIS class 6), nitrogen filled and sealed ensuring that they can be used in all weather conditions, and are fully protected against fogging and potentially damaging dust particles.

All in all the 8x43 DCF SP Pentax binoculars get my seal of approval, they are exceptional value for money with many features that make their performance comparable to that of far more expensive binoculars. The high performance optics, lens coatings and prisms are of exceptional quality and the sophisticated inner-focus optical design has helped ensure that the Pentax DCF SP’s are lightweight and compact for 8x43 binoculars. I haven’t tried them for astronomy but they stand up well in a marine environment and they are quite impressive when used for bird watching.

As birding binoculars I still prefer the Swarovski 8.5x43 EL’s but I would still be happy with the Pentax DCF SP’s and given the cost differential I couldn’t say the differences between the two warrant the much higher price tag.
