| Posted: 19 Mar 2014 10:35 AM PDT The Monkii Bars are a lightweight and ultra-portable suspension-training tool. They are the sort of bars that you can carry anywhere and pack in a quick workout routine. No longer restricting you to a gym, the suspension training system is stored inside each baton, including 18′ of super-strong Spectra line, and a simple to use adjuster. Inspired by the school Monkey Bar system, the physical challenge is too much of fun! Designers: Jared Arp & Tyler Dodds

| Story of ‘Mr. Up’ and ‘Mr. Down’ Posted: 19 Mar 2014 05:58 AM PDT There is a very inspirational story behind the creation of the Legacy Machine N°1 Xia Hang Watch by MB&F. It all began when the Legacy Machine N°1 was conceived by Maximilian Büsser, the force behind the enchanting MB&F Watches. Daydreaming how he would radically design a three-dimensional machine for the wrist, Max dreamt of including Eiffel Tower and Jules Verne to its design. Fast-forward to today, the Legacy Machine N°1 Xia Hang (LM1 Xia Hang) bears all the nuances of a 19th century pocket watch and takes inspiration from the LM1. What this means is that the central theme of the design is 'Mr. Up' and 'Mr. Down'. Typically you find the Power Reserve of a watch being a hand indication that simply points out to how much energy is left in the timepiece, before you can wind it.
In the LM1 Xia Hang, 'Mr. Up' and 'Mr. Down' are the representation of the power reserve. So after working non-stop for 45-hours, the iconic statue seems to be drained off his energy and bends his head to his lap. The minute the movement is wound and the energy returned, the icon peps back to life and is 'Mr. Up' once again.
The talented Chinese sculptor, Xia Hang, designs the power reserve indicated as a miniature, highly polished aluminum man. The man sits up straight when the movement is fully wound (Mr. Up) and gradually slumps over as the power diminishes (Mr. Down).
Hang calls them his 'comma men', and their distinctive shape comes from a selection of art that created from 2005 to 2008. Commas do exist in Chinese writing and for Hang, the 'comma man' represents a chubby boy.
Legacy Machine N°1 Xia Hang is a limited edition of 12 pieces in red gold and 12 pieces in white gold. A pair of stainless steel sculptures accompanies each Machine: large-scale versions of Mr. Up and Mr. Down signed by Xia Hang.

| Emergency inflight diagnosis with e+ patch Posted: 19 Mar 2014 12:01 AM PDT Everyday, 6 million people travel by airplanes globally. With such large numbers, the probability of medical emergencies during flights are also very high. For this reason, the flight attendants are trained and certified for administering emergency first aid mid-flight before expert care can be availed to the affected person. The ‘e+ emergency patch’ is a compact system designed to diagnose conditions to help in accurately administering first aid to inflight heart attack scenarios. The patch combines ECG, Oximetry and RR band in a compact profile to be carried and stored in an average first aid kit in a commercial airplane.The set consist of 2 different parts, the OXIMETRY which is connected to the index finger, and e-PATCH which is adhered to the chest. For the sake of hygiene, the e-PATCH features a modular assembly where the base patch is disposable after a single use while its MODULE-e, which houses the major set of electronic components, can be reused. Designers: Eduardo Rincón & Gallardo Martinez
