Ring would control your TV

Silicon Valley-based Industrial Design and Engineering firm Whipsaw has decided to throw their lot with Nod, which happens to be touted as “the most advanced gesture control device” to date. The Nod gesture control ring might be something that Sauron would have been interested in – not only is it stylish and light, it is also versatile, too, being a truly special ring in the world of functional, wearable tech.
The Nod happens to be an always-on ring which functions as a universal controller to the variety of smart devices that happen to function in your connected life, where among them include the likes of smartphones, tablets, Google Glass, smart watches, home appliances, smart TVs, and computers, among others. Using the Nod is simple – all that you need to do would be to wear Nod on your finger, point and gesture naturally. Your compatible devices will be able to obey all of your subtle finger movements as though they were by magic.
It will be as natural as possible, where this Bluetooth-enabled ring is capable of responding to the many simple movements that one makes. For instance, rotating your hand will let you adjust the temperature on your smart thermostat, and you can turn the TV on simply by pointing to it, or to adjust the volume.
Right now, the Nod gesture control ring remains available for a limited pre-sale at $149 a pop, and those who have already done so ought to be able to see their orders begin to ship later this coming fall.

A Scanner can count calories in your food

Anyone conscious about what they eat will be happy to hear about a device in the making from Consumer Physics that can tell you how many calories is in that piece of food you are thinking of eating. On top of that it will tell you the amount of fat and protein and other nutritional information and even advise you if fruit is ripe enough to eat. The SCiO molecular scanner offers results in real time which are sent toan app on the user’s smartphone through Bluetooth. Expected in fall 2014 the scanner will come with apps that are going to help consumers identify the composition of food, medications and plants.

The scanner might sound like something that you would see one of the team in Star Trek using, but the Israeli inventors promise that the handheld scanner can be used for checking anything from the amount of calories to checking what drugs are in your medication. The company behind it plan on expanding it so the scanner can be used as a medical sensor, in this case it could be used for analysing bodily fluids and human tissue.

Pyramids mystery finally ‘solved’

The world has been baffled for thousands of years about just how slave workers transported the massive blocks across the Valley of the Kings in around 2,000BC. Now physicists have come up with a two word answer after years of calculations - ‘wet sand’. Dutch researchers have figured out the Egyptians placed heavy objects on a sledge, pulled by hundreds of workers, and simply poured water on the sand in front of it. Experiments at the University of Amsterdam proved the correct amount of dampness in the sand halves the pulling force required. Quite simply, dry sand would have piled up in front of the sledge, making it impossible to move. But it would glide over wet sand which, with the correct amount of water becomes as stiff as dry sand and the sledge glides more easily over it.
