We Need This Parking Meter NOW! Posted: 22 Mar 2013 08:01 AM PDT It can't get sexier and easier than the PARKd! Here is a parking meter concept that is easy to operate and simply brilliant. The ensuing video is good enough to explain how it works, but very briefly, the meter accepts credit cards, coins and even syncs with a payment app on a smartphone. Simply key in your time, pay the fare and swiftly get a receipt. Features Many parking meters only accept coins, forcing the user to buy 2hrs, rather than the 1h20mins they may only need. PARKd allows you to pay for the exact time you need and not the surplus. By smoothly cycling through different payment options, the user is not overwhelmed with concurrent information but is presented with individual options in a calm, timely manner. If the user chooses to pay with coins, the duration of time paid for is highlighted on the listed tariff segments as well as the respective return time. Once selected, the on-screen information is "collapsed" downwards to the ticket slot below. Should the user wish to pay by credit card instead; they can accurately select how long they would like to stay for, what time they plan to return, or how much they would like to spend. All three ways of considering the parking duration are presented together, and manipulated by turning a single dial. Again, the return time is indicated on screen and printed on the ticket. If the user is comfortable with new technology they can decide to pay via Contactless Payment system, selecting the time they wish to stay or the amount they are prepared to pay using their phone. The parking system is able to log the selected parking duration and vehicle registration. This information is then accessible to the parking attendants on his rounds with the list of paid vehicle registration numbers.

Water-saving Body Wash Posted: 22 Mar 2013 07:46 AM PDT The Multifunctional Bathtub has an exclusive tilt function that allows you to save water when you take a soak. Depending upon how you tilt and use the tub, you could end up saving 80% of water for foot bath, 60% of water for half-body and 40% for full-body bath. Sounds like an interesting and fun idea and I really hope it works! Roca, are you listening?

Easy Moto Armour Posted: 22 Mar 2013 12:01 AM PDT As someone who was recently in a motorcycle accident, I can testify that wearing gear is CRUCIAL to a rider’s safety. It’s easy to carelessly avoid gearing up because it’s difficult, time consuming, & just plain uncomfortable. The SP3 focuses on resolving these problems by making the back protector as easy to put on as wearing a backpack, & also incorporates a neck stabilizer directly onto the helmet. Better yet, the helmet hooks on to the back protector so you can remove your helmet, drop it & move about. The principal function of the device is to protect three essential parts of the body; the head, the neck and the back. The head and the neck of the motorcyclists are protected by the helmet itself as well as a device located at the bottom of the helmet that restricts movements in the event of an accident or when the head/neck makes an excessive movement. The back is protected by the back protector that covers the cervical and middle vertebrae. After riding, the motorcyclist can store the helmet in a specialized compartment located on the back portion of the system.
