RECENT ELECTRONIC INVENTION

Television Technology

This invention in satellite internet service allows the best in high definition television to be delivered through the internet directly to your computer and television.
In today's economic climate, households are cutting back wherever they can, and with cable and satellite television costing anywhere from $65 to $150 a month (or more with premium movie channels), this revolutionary internet tv software provides 24 hour, 7 days a week, unlimited access to 3,500 of the most popular television channels.
Unlike traditional cable and satellite television providers, this technology does not require hardware installation (dish, receivers, cable or other equipment) or monthly subscription fees.
In other words, its lifetime tv without lifetime bills. The only requirement is a computer, an internet connection, and a one-time payment to download the software, which takes a few minutes.
This digital innovation provides DVD-like picture quality, high definition transmission, and crystal clear audio output without concern for bandwidth limits.
A well defined on-screen guide provides relevant program information for viewing local, premium, movie, sports, news, music and international channels.

Internet Media Magazine ranks this new invention as the best for delivering television via the internet to anywhere in the world.My guess is that advertisers are paying the bill instead of us, which makes sense.
Why should I pay a cable company to watch television commercials on my cable channels?



Electronic Pills - Collecting Data Inside The Body

After years in development, wireless devices contained in swallowable capsules are now reaching the market.
Companies such as SmartPill based in Buffalo, New York and Israel-based Given Imaging (PillCam) market capsules the size of vitamin tablets that contain sensors or tiny cameras that collect information as they travel through the gastrointestinal tract before being excreted from the body a day or two later.
These new electronic inventions transmit information such as acidity, pressure and temperature levels or images of the esophagus and intestine to your doctor's computer for analysis.
Doctors often use invasive methods such as catheters, endoscopic instruments or radioisotopes for collecting information about the digestive tract. So device companies have been developing easier, less intrusive ways, to gather information.
Digestive diseases and disorders can include symptoms such as acid reflux, bloating, heartburn, abdominal pain, constipation, difficulty swallowing or loss of appetite.
"One of the main challenges is determining just what is happening in the stomach and intestines." says Dr. Anish A. Sheth, Director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Program at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Doctors can inspect the colon and peer into the stomach using endoscopic instruments. But some areas cannot be easily viewed, and finding out how muscles are working can be difficult.
Electronic pills are being used to measure muscle contraction, ease of passage and other factors to reveal information unavailable in the past.




Digital Pen

A digital pen is one of the new electronic inventions that can help us record information.
Despite the digital age, we still use pens. But it would be great to have our handwritten notes and drawings digitally recorded without having to use a scanner.
The Zpen from Dane-Elec is a wireless pen that uses a clip-on receiver to digitally record what you write.
It uploads the information to your computer where it can be viewed, edited and filed as a word processing document.
The digital pen utilizes character recognition software and works by recording movement. Features include profile creation, a dictionary and fifteen language options.



 Talking With Your Appliances

One of the cool new gadgets to hit the market is a touchscreen device that allows you to communicate with anything consuming energy in your home.
Inventor Seth Frader-Thompson's new invention has been named one of the "best new gadgets" and "breakthrough ideas of the year" by Time Magazine.
The EnergyHub Dashboard is a device that allows you to wirelessly communicate with all your appliances.
The touch screen device receives wireless information from "plug-ins" in your electrical sockets and provides details of usage for every energy consuming product in the home - everything from your furnace and air conditioner to a specific light bulb, cell phone or alarm clock.
It even tracks leak current (the power used by devices that are plugged-in but not being used).
Although many of us are motivated to reduce our carbon footprint and power consumption by changing our lights or upgrading to Energy Star appliances, this doesn't tell us exactly what's happening with consumption.
Our utility bills give us total power usage but nothing about what would happen if our thermostat was reduced by a few degrees or if a specific appliance was replaced, shut-off or used on a certain schedule.
The EnergHub provides this type of information and allows you to control and schedule the energy usage of anything in the home.




Wireless Electricity

RCA has developed a prototype of a cool new gadget capable of producing wireless electricity from radio frequencies in the air.
According to a company spokesman at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the device recharged a Blackberry from a 30% battery charge to full charge within 90 minutes.
The handheld wireless device (Airnergy) uses an antenna to absorb energy from frequencies and convert them into DC power inside its casing.
The gadget is then connected via a USB port to charge your cell phone or mobile internet device.
Airnergy charges itself 24/7.
This cool new gadget is expected to be available later this year.



Vibrations Relieve Pain

An orthapeodic surgeon has invented a cool new gadget for relieving lateral epicondylitis - commonly known as tennis elbow.
Vibration therapy has proven to be the most effective method for treating tennis elbow as supported by research published in medical literature.
However, the treatment has required large and expensive equipment which is only available in hospitals.
Dr. Vhadra has created a portable, strap-on device that can generate the same low frequency vibrations generated in much larger machines used for treating lateral epicondylitis.
The device, known as Tenease, stimulates blood flow to an afflicted area, which stops pain and promotes healing.
Tenease has been rigorously tested and awarded approval as a medical invention by the MHRA (Medicines and Healhcare Products Regulatory Authority), a government regulatory agency of the U.K. Department of Health.

No Battery Remote

The battery-less remote control is a cool new gadget in energy-saving technology.
This remote control uses an electromagnetic induction coil and rotation gears to generate current.
The signal is transmitted a distance of several meters using infrared light. The current is activated by squeezing a trigger which in turn makes the remote functional. 

Voice Stick

Invented by Sungwoo Park, this cool new gadget is a portable scanning device that reads printed text and converts it into a voice.
The Voice Stick can read any written document such newspapers, books and mail.
It was the Gold Medal winner at the International Design Excellence Awards for new inventions.
