We walk past this toilet every weekend and my friend just told me that it had won this award, so I looked at it more closely! It's a very clever design that complements the park environment. The toilets for men and women are separated on each side but the washroom is combined. The open design also makes it more secure to use. Now I appreciate it more!
A team at the University of WA led by Robert McLaughlin and David Sampson has developed this device which has won the Australian Innovation Challenge. Small enough to fit in a needle, this device is based on a medical imaging technique using low power infra-red waves to probe tissue. Its aim is to make cancer surgery safer and more effective.
Prime Air, a future delivery system from Amazon, is designed to safely get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less using small unmanned aerial vehicles, also called drones. Putting Prime Air into service will take some time, but will happen when they have the necessary regulatory support.
Billie Whitehouse, co-founder of Wearable Experiments, took the stage in London recently wearing her new Urban Wayfinding Jacket, which lets you navigate through a city without staring down at your phone so you can see more around you. The jacket works by giving you a tap on the shoulder when it's time to change direction. Her company's mission is to bring together fashion and technology with functional design.
Tonight I went to a presentation by The newDemocracy Foundation who are using citizen juries to help councils make better decisions by getting randomly selected members of the local public to debate an issue, similar to how decisions were made when democracy started in Greece. Their latest project is how to tackle obesity health issues!
These cat packs are a clever way to take your cat out. They have portholes for your cat to peek out of, so they can enjoy the view (or just look completely baffled and alarmed, like this cat). They can be used as a back pack or a separate pack and would make a great Christmas gift for a special person with a special cat!?http://u-pet.co/
