Anti sleep driving alarm, to stay awake on the wheel

Those who, either for work or just for holiday, have experience of driving for long and boring hours, especially when travelling at night, know very well that the number one enemy for safety on the road is the moment when sleep takes over, which can cause them to lose control of their vehicle, be it a car, a bus or a truck, with the potentially tragic consequences that one can imagine.

To provide assistance in protecting drivers against this kind of accidents, technology lends us a hand, thanks to the availability of an anti sleep driving alarm, which helps them to stay awake, and maybe decide that the time has come to stop for a short nap, before going back on the wheel to resume their journey towards the final destination.

The earpiece, which looks just like a hearing aid device, is worn on the back of the ear. While the head is in vertical position or slightly tilted, everything is fine; when the sensor housed inside the device detects that the head is tilted at an angle that exceeds 30 degrees, possibly because the driver is falling asleep, it will immediately let out a powerful and loud sound, capable of awakening the driver and allowing him to regain control of his vehicle, thus avoiding any possible accident or collision.

The anti sleep alarm turns out to be very useful not only on the road, but also for those who are doing sensitive jobs that require a high level of concentration, especially if this happens during the wee hours of the night. For example, security personnel, hotel receptionists, night porters, TV operators, or students who need to stay awake for long hours to prepare for an exam. For more information about anti sleep alarm, we recommend that you visit the Endoacustica website.

For safety in the house, your stairs light up automatically

April 13, 2010 Technology No Commenti

To reduce energy consumption and protect the environment, to add a touch of class in your house, or more simply (and much more importantly) to make sure that no one gets hurt while walking up or down your flight of stairs, especially during the night, the German design studio Interactive Furniture has just launched its latest project, a flight of automatically illuminated stairs.

The system, called Stair Lights, is made up of LED lights which are turned on or switched off one at the time, showing you where to go by illuminating the steps while you are walking towards the upper or lower floor, and at the same time by switching off the light on the steps behind you.

Thanks to this, especially at night, the risk of stumbling or missing a step because of sleep, while you are walking downstairs to the kitchen for a glass of water, is significantly reduced. Furthermore, Stair Lights proves extremely useful not only to show you the way at night or to add a particular note to your furniture, but especially as a valuable support in houses inhabited by elderly people, or by visually impaired persons, who might have a hard time when walking at home, and find a priceless aid in the possibility of avoiding trouble when moving from one floor to the other.

The lighting system for your staircase works thanks to a laser beam, connected to an infrared transistor which works as a sensor; when the bean is interrupted, the LED light ahead of it is immediately turned on, and it is automatically switched off a few seconds after the beam returns to a continuous state.

Before buying a Jetpack, you can put it to the test

Jetpack

The news which reported that the New Zealand manufacturer launched on the market its personal Jetpack has, as one would easily imagine, sent waves all over the world, as well as shivers of excitement among flight enthusiasts, even among those (let’s face it, the large majority of us) who can not afford spending the hefty sum of 86000 dollars to take one home and use it to go to office every day.

For those who want to purchase one but are not sure they can actually ride it, in spite of the producers’ claim that a few minutes of training are more than enough to master it quite safely, an adventure travel agency, which is also based in New Zealand, is offering a complete test flight package, to experience the Jetpack’s characteristics first hand.

This package is not exactly what you would call cheap, as its cost is approximately 10700 dollars, but after all, those who can afford to buy a personal Jetpack should not have problems with cashing out this amount.
The course, open to those above 18 years of age, holding a valid driver license and weighing less than 90 kilograms, takes place at the Martin Aircraft base, in a secure environment which allows Jetpack newbies to appreciate its potential in full safety.

The maximum number of participants is limited to four, allowing each one to learn what is necessary to handle the vehicle correctly; aside from a diploma, participants will receive a video shot during the course, to relive the exciting moments, as well as to play the cool guy with their friends!
