RHA says that its proprietary DualCoil dynamic driver has been engineered to deliver levels of audio resolution, clarity and detail beyond what a conventional earphone driver is capable of.
Within each metal-injection-molded steel housing are two independently-powered voice coils positioned around a micro ring magnet in concentric formation.
The T20s benefit from the same kind of cool steel housing and filter-changing sound signature customization options as the award-winning T10i models and the T10s.
The audio signal from a source player reaches the driver housing, it's split in two.
The upper mids and treble frequencies are directed to a copper-clad aluminum outer coil, while a second, inner coil gets busy with the lower mids and bottom end.
The coils work together to manipulate a specially engineered diaphragm that features a second (inner) apex
The Surface 3 has shrunken-down and lower-powered Surface Pro 3 (SP3).
It is easier to pick up and carry. It can be use casually, without its keyboard, than the Surface Pro 3.
It's noticeably thicker and heavier than the iPad Air 2, but it's still very manageable as a tablet.
Its boxier 3:2 aspect ratio makes it much better in portrait mode than any of the first- or second-generation Surfaces ever were.
This is also the first non-"Pro" Surface that runs desktop apps and supports pen input.
It uses the same Surface Pen that works with the Surface Pro 3, and everything works exactly the same here. The only annoyances are that the Pen is sold separately here and that you can't magnetically snap it onto the side of the tablet.
Ikea Temporary Kitchen at the Expo Mila in Milan is the result of a project with a variety of designs, of which a few outstanding examples were included in the Temporary Kitchen.
One of these is what looks like an ordinary, somewhat rustic, table that in 2025 will supposedly be the focus of cooking, eating, work, play, and socializing, yet works to make people more creative while cutting down on waste.
The wooden shelves contain hidden sensors and smart induction cooling technology while perishable foods are immediately visible, which promotes their use instead of being forgotten at the back of the fridge.
Food is stored in double-walled transparent containers with RFID tags indicating the temperature they should be stored at.
The induction cooling units use magnetic, stainless steel-gadolinium alloy bases in the shelves to keep the containers at the proper temperature.
The same containers can be used for heating on the table. There's also low-tech terracotta containers for foods like garlic, potatoes, and carrots.
The EarJax Lyrics earbuds offer sound isolation and a precision fit for the best possible audio
The Lyrics have been engineered specifically with noise-blocking in mind.
In the box, you get a large range of bud shapes and sizes to choose from
The snug fit allows you to appreciate the oversize, high-definition drivers EarJax has used.
They provide a sound that is of studio quality, with rich bass tones and a crisp, nuanced treble.
EarJax has also used a gold-plated aluminum plug to guard against a poor connection, and the woven cloth protection for the wire is good for real-world durability.
The mount, which is the subject of a crowdfunding campaign, connects to any standard camera hot shoe.
Once the mobile device is strapped in, you can not only compose shots, but also interact with the controls on your camera through its touchscreen.
Captured images can be saved to both the camera and the mobile device, and edited right on your phone or tablet.
Images can then be shared to places like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, similar to the type of experience you get when using an Eye-Fi card, or one of Samsung’s connected cameras. https://vimeo.com/121219523
The ARC pen is a vibrating writing device that stimulates muscles in the hand, giving those with Parkinson's better control when putting pen to paper.
The clunky, oversized ARC mightn't look like the most comfortable of pens, but its large form is intended to make it easier to handle for people with Parkinson's disease.
Packed inside are high frequency vibration motors which spur certain muscles in the hand into action to allow better control, while simultaneously making it easier for users to drag the pen across the surface of the paper.
Early trials have been conducted with subjects suffering from the disease and it showed 86 percent overall improvement in writing.
Nuvo's alternative involves placing numerous passive sensors in a wearable product, combining it with cloud computing to make pregnancy more transparent to both parents and their doctors.
The Ritmo Beats is the consumer version of the product, and carries multiple acoustic and ECG sensors to provide mothers with real-time data on their unborn child's cardiac activity.
The collected raw data is processed live in the cloud using patented algorithms, with the consumer buying live processing time by the hour.
Users will be able to access the data on their smartphone or through the company's website, where they can record and share the baby's heartbeat with friends and family.
The PregSense is the medical-grade version of the product. According to the company, most of the differences happen in the background, with the device itself carrying the same array of sensors.
The data provided to Ritmo Beats users is limited to a level that's appropriate for consumer wellness use, PregSense will provide doctors with a wide range of stats, from the heart rates of the mother and fetus, to kicks, sleep state and contractions.
The company intends to have the product approved by regulatory bodies, and will provide less restricted access to the cloud platform.
A new wearable suit called the Antelope uses muscle-targeting electrodes to increase the intensity of your gym workouts and other types of exercise.
Wearable Life Science, the German startup behind the suit, says 20 minutes of exercise using the Antelope could be as effective and beneficial as three hours of activity without it.
The lightweight smart clothing can be worn for almost any activity.
The suit focuses on repeatedly stimulating different muscles depending on the type and intensity of your exercise. These pulses mimic prompts given by the brain to flex the muscles.
The smart garments are based around the same kind of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology that's extensively used in physiotherapy to prod muscles into action.
Usain Bolt is among the athletes known to have used EMS clothing in the past and the Antelope suit isn't the first wearable to use this approach, so it's a technology that's gaining momentum.
The Antelope is thin, light and wire-free and shouldn't interfere with any kind of exercise, whether that's a boxing session in the gym or several miles of cycling.
The Bluetooth Cloud Buds fix that by going wireless, and they offer some other great features, too.
The Cloud Buds offer a wireless range of around 30 feet.
The sound on offer is crystal clear due to a noise-canceling outer shell
You get multiple sizes of buds to ensure a snug fit.
The headset is surprisingly lightweight, and there are optional ear hooks.
It was a microphone built in, you can use the Cloud Buds as a handsfree kit, with the remote control offering quick access to answering calls and switching tracks.
The experimental system allows users to control mobile devices using flexible, stretchable stickers that attach to their skin.
It was developed by a team from Saarland University in Germany and Carnegie Mellon University in the US.
The silicone iSkin stickers contain capacitive and resistive sensors that respond to being touched.
They can be made in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and temporarily applied almost anywhere on the body via a medical-grade adhesive.
It can be removed, rolled up and put away when not in use.
It includes the taking and placing of phone calls, controlling music playback, typing and sending messages, so pretty much anything else that's currently done on a mobile device screen.
They're capable of multi-touch functionality, and also recognize gestures such as swiping.
The current prototypes are hard-wired to a computer, although it is hoped that integrated chips might ultimately allow them to communicate with other devices wirelessly.
Researchers from the University of Tokyo have created a solar-powered arm band that sounds an alarm if the wearer's body temperature gets too high.
The device consists of a flexible amorphous silicon solar panel, a piezoelectric speaker, a temperature sensor, and a power supply circuit.
All of these are created using organic components, such as ink jet-printed onto a polymer film.
It can be worn either over clothing or directly against the skin.
When the temperature sensor detects that the patient's body temperature has risen above a given range, the speaker provides an audible alarm.
This is the first time that an organic circuit has been used to create sound, and also the first instance of one featuring an organic power supply circuit.
The arm band requires no external power supply.
It's flexible enough that it doesn't cause discomfort to the patient, and it's cheap enough to dispose of after each use, in order to maintain hygiene.
In 2005, Boston Dynamics unveiled its robot "mule," Big Dog. Now it has a smaller, and it is called Spot. It weights 160 lb. It is electrically-powered, hydraulically-actuated, four-legged robot.
Boston Dynamics isn't releasing many details about Spot beyond saying that it's designed for indoor and outdoor operation.
Spot is the smallest of Boston Dynamics' quadruped robots, other then the lab-bound Little Dog. It shows the cleanest engineering.
It's nimbler than Big Dog and is much quieter than the internal combustion engines used by the larger robots.
Another improvement is the configuration of the legs. Where Big Dog and its derivatives use a forward-angled leg design, Spot's is angled backwards like the legs of a goat, and it hops like one.
The company's robots are well known for keeping their balance, but Spot holds its feet with only a quick, remarkably lifelike stagger.
Previous Boston Dynamics quadrupeds were developed as part of a contract to create robotic pack mules to assist soldiers with their gear in rough country. However, more information will need to be released.
The M6 GT3 is powered by a race-modified 4.4-liter V8 M TwinPower Turbo production engine that produces in excess of 500 hp.
The car weighs less than 1,300 kg and features a transaxle drive concept, a six-speed sequential racing transmission and wind tunnel-optimized chassis aerodynamics.
It is based on the M6 Coupé production model.
BMW says the development of the BMW M6 GT3 is progressing according to plan.
It is expected to compete in national series, international series and endurance races from 2016.
The BMW M6 GT3 has taken to the track for the first time in Germany.
The Heddoko garments are designed to offer insights into the biomechanics of the body in action.
It uses motion capture sensors to fine-tune your movements.
Advances in 3D motion capture technology have added an extra layer of realism to sports video games like FIFA and Madden.
Mazen Elbawab, software engineer-turned entrepreneur, Heddoko line of sportswear comes equipped with sensors that capture the body's motion, to offer feedback on how you can perform more like the pros.
Elbawab's virtual coaching solution uses compression pants and shirts fitted with textile-embedded sensors to track the wearer's movement.
Data is then filtered and processed by a mobile app, which creates a 3D model of the user's body and provides coaching feedback in real time.
Garments that give feedback on yoga, general health and fatigue by monitoring things like heart rate and respiration have been an area of growth in recent years.
Athletes looking for that extra edge will need to wait before trying Heddoko on for size.
The company says it is now preparing to launch a crowdfunding campaign, but no pricing has been mentioned.
In the meantime, it has managed to make a shortlist of 20 finalists for the Innovation World Cup to be held at the Wearable Technologies Conference in Munich.
