No nasty surprises at the carousel
Flight passengers? biggest complaint last year was not delays or cramped seats-it was lost luggage. With new radio frequency identification devices embedded in luggage tags, conveyor belts can detect a bag?s destination and stop it if it's bound for the wrong flight. http://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2016/11/no-nasty-surprises-carousel?cid1=cust/ddnew/n/n/n/2016111n/owned/n/n/nwl/n/n/n/8010412/email&etear=dailydispatch

An air conditioned helmet
Qatar University has developed a solar-powered hard hat with a built-in fan that reduces the skin temperature of construction workers by up to 10 degrees centigrade. The solar panel on top of the helmet powers a fan to suck in hot air, which is then cooled and filtered onto the worker?s head.

A white garden that celebrates the life of Princess Diana
The whole approach to Kensington Palace has changed since Princess Diana's death 20 years ago. It's open and light, spacious and welcoming, hospitable and also fun. While 7 or 8 million people walk up and down the Broad Walk each year, only 100,000 or so used to visit the Palace Gardens. Now it?s a million. https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/london-life/how-the-white-garden-celebrates-the-life-of-princess-diana-20-years-after-her-death-a3620386.html

A keyless smart door lock
With the Otto system, the lock senses your phone and unlocks the door at the touch of a button. If the phone runs out of battery, there is a pin entry alternative. You can also assign limited-time pins to let housekeepers, delivery people, and dog walkers in at pre-specified times, but can revoke access outside those time windows.?https://www.meetotto.com/
