Braille Label Printer

It’s hard to imagine how difficult life would be if I had poor vision or was unable to see, that’s why I appreciate any gadget that makes these common tasks so much easier to do. The Braille Label Printer is one of these concept gadgets which would produce Braille labels that can be attached to objects making them easier to identify. A common example would be labeling food stuff in a fridge or pantry cupboard. So many food items come in cans, cartons, and bottles that are very similar in size and shape making them difficult distinguish, the answer could be the Braille Label Printer which would make identification very easy.

Big thumbs up to Soonkyu Jang, Jieun Seo & Seung-un Kim who are the designers of the Braille Label Printer.

AT&T’s LG Xenon Coming Soon

The LG Xenon handset which was expected to be launched in time for Christmas has been cropping up all over the internet lately fueling speculation that it will be available very soon. The picture, above whilst not the best picture of the LG phone, does give us a good idea of how the Xenon will look.  What the photo does confirm is that the phone features a full QWERTY keyboard for typing.

Features of LG Xenon
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
- Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA (850MHz/2100MHz)
- 950 mAh battery

- 100MB of memory with microSD support up to 16GB
- Bluetooth 2.0
- USB 2.0
- Wi-Fi
- EMP U330 Lite Chipset

One interesting aspect to the LG Xenon is that it contains widgets which will allow the user to drag and drop different items on to the desktop, these widgets will be typical applications such as Calendar, Alarm, Notepad, etc. Keep your eyes open as it will be hitting the shops very soon.

X12 Taser LLS Stun Gun

Check out the new stun gun called the x12 that will be available in June. The full name is the X12 Taser LLS Stun Gun was revealed at the Global Security Asia 2009 event and provoked quite a bit of interest from enforcement agencies present at the show.   The X12 taser gun is wireless and you can clearly see the benefits of this already, i.e. no wires hanging around for people to trip up on or the hassle of having to reset the wires after a perpetrator is brought down.

Useful for suspects up to 88 feet away, the X12 is capable of firing an electrode able to pierce clothing and then apply an electrical impulse to temporarily paralyze a suspect making him easier to arrest or disarm.

What does LLS stand for I hear you ask? Personally I myself am not fond on acronyms and don’t really see the point of them as most of the time I don’t know what they stand for. Let’s be honest if I was ordering one I would rather ask for a Less Lethal Shotgun than an LLS.

Amphibious Lounger

Amphibious Lounger is a product designed to make lounging in the sun by the poolside, yachts, cruisers, decks, balconies, lawns as comfortable as possible. Having progressed from just an idea, a prototype was born, and now the Amphibious Lounger has been made available to buy. Previously, inflatable loungers have been commonly used but these are prone to leaking, are uncomfortable when moving about on them, and are easily damaged. The Amphibious Lounger solves all these problems. How? Well within the design of the lounger are beans which absorb water and produce a stable buoyant material.

Amphibious Lounger Specifications:
Dimensions: 40 x 42 x25 in. (WxDxH)
Fabric: 100% Nylon Mesh Composite
Required Filling Volume: 17 cu ft / 500 liters

Price: Unknown
