The Litter-Robot

Thu, 21 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Uploaded on May 21 2009
It might look like something out of Star Wars - but this is the ultimate in litter tray technology. The self-cleaning Litter-Robot works by sensing when the cat is in the box thanks to a weight sensor. Once the cat leaves, a timer is activated that leaves seven minutes before the automatic pooper-scooper does its duties. The globe rotates and a screen is used to take out all of the clumps. Remains are then gravity fed into the disposal tray at the bottom of the unit. And to make sure the cat is safe, a detection system that causes the globe to stop moving upon re-entry. Prices for the US made Litter-Robot models start at $329 USD. Pictured: Litter-Robot

Doctor invents sedation device for kids

Thu, 21 May 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Uploaded on May 21 2009
A US doctor has invented this sedation device for children. The brightly coloured PediState plastic headset administers anaesthetic gas as they play handheld consoles. It is designed to relax kids who may be nervous before medical or dental procedures. Nitrous oxide gas is piped through a snorkel-like tube into their airways. The headset monitors vital respiratory functions and a member of medical staff is on hand to gauge when the child is under and ready for their procedure. Inventor Dr Geoffrey Hart, of the University of Massachusetts, said: We have developed technology which we believe makes paediatric medical procedures less threatening and more comfortable through use of inhalation anaesthesia and interactive play technology.

29348 INDIAN WELLS CALIFORNIA March 17, 2009, Andy Murray the mens # 4 player in the World, is a fine example of the Science and Art of Tennis. Tennis players seemingly effortlessly pound the ball into their opponents' courts, a superficial glimpse at the sport reveals little apparent application of science and technology. However at a more comprehensive examination of any sport, athletes, coaches, event organizers, journalists and equipment manufacturers realize the immense depth of science and technology that exists. In fact, the spectrum of sciences affiliated with tennis is so broad that six major branches of science can be covered: physiology, medicine, biomechanics, psychology, engineering and technology. Physiology provides athletes with information crucial to their physical health in the heat of competition. Sports medicine is essential to athletes in light of high chances of injury in todayÕs fast-paced rallies. Medical research in performance enhancers provides more accurate information in regards to the controversial issue of doping for event organizers, which is important with the Olympic Games approaching ever so quickly. Biomechanics allow coaches to direct athletes to use energy in the most efficient and injury-free ways. Psychological training allows athletes to play their best as they learn to concentrate their mental energy. Engineering allows equipment manufacturers to create cutting-edge innovations. Technology in scorekeeping and line calls may decrease the number of disputes between players and event officials. .Photograph Paul Harris © PacificCoastNews.com UK OFFICE: 131 557 7760/7761/7762 US OFFICE: 1 310 261 9676
