A friendly and easy to use interface helps monitor water quality and temperature as well as controls the built-in water cycling filtration system that disinfects water before flushing out.

| Posted: 06 Sep 2013 01:11 AM PDT As a resident of Mumbai, I always took pride in the fact that this city was pretty safe for women. Recent events has shocked us all, and also created the need for more props that help protect women effectively and timely. The Safe Light is one such device that integrates, a torch light with a hot key for help with the local police and GPS chip to help locate the distressed woman. Essentially this torch light has a button that can be used during distress, which immediately notifies the local police and mobilizes them to reach the spot ASAP.

| If a Laptop and Desktop Made Love Posted: 06 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT U.DTR stands for Ultra Desktop Replacement, and that’s exactly what it aims to do… remove the shortcomings of both laptops and desktops to form one ultra-versatile replacement device. The most obvious improvement is the “necked” touch-screen that elevates the monitor to a more comfortable height, similar to that of a desktop computer. Did we mention it’s touch-screen?! Other extras include an angled, more ergonomic keyboard, thoughtfully placed ports, and reduced battery weight. Another drastic re-design of the U.DTR is detachment of the main battery. Because of their large power consumption and longer working periods, desktop replacements are almost always used on a desk, hooked up to the power grid. In this scenario, the huge internal battery sometimes accounting for as much as 50% of the total weight. For this reason, U.DTR is designed with a smaller, built-in backup battery while an external battery provides extended power. Designer: Marin Myftiu - Related posts:
