Oral-B Triumph: Most Advanced Toothbrush Ever?

The toothbrush is one of those inventions that dont need any improvement. Yes, you

can put a motor on it to make it work faster, and Reach has spent a lot on R&D andmarketing to show that their toothbrushes are more advanced. In all honesty, theOral-B Triumph has got to be the most advanced toothbrush that Ive seen, and Idont see how you could improve toothbrushes after this.

After all, how many toothbrushes come with a handheld display that is wirelesslysynced to the toothbrush itself? This is what the Smart Guide display is designed todo, and the user holds it in his or her hand while he or she brushes.

The Smart Guide times the brushing, and it is recommended that you brush with theTriumph for about two minutes. You can adjust the speed settings for cleaning,massaging, polishing, and sensitive care. There is an indicator on the Smart Guidethat lets you know the setting, and a warning light in case you are brushing too hard.

I got a chance to try out this product, and I will highly recommend it. Ive written moreabout it here, and you can purchase the product on the official site here. The site haslinks to online retail sites like Best Buy and Amazon, the price varies depending onwhere you buy it from, but the maximum price is not over $150.

The Ultimate Gaming Chair

That title definitely goes to the Ultimate Game Chair. The name really gets the point

across, eh?

This chair is packed with features. To start off, there are 12 vibration motorsthroughout the chair that are synchronized with the games action. Nerdy and cool.

As far as sound goes, you can use your stock headphones from a MP3 player etc, orplug the chair into your home stereo system to get full surround sound. There are

adjustable 3D stereo speakers built into the chair as well. Any type of gaming accessory will probably work with the chair, including steering

wheels and custom controllers.

Comfort was definitely not overlooked when this chair was designed. Its all leathermaterial, has an adjustable headrest, leg rest, and even a beverage and remotecontroller holder. Oh, and I forgot to mention that this chair will give you a nicemassage, too. Seriously.

Quite a few game consoles are compatible with the Ultimate Gaming Chair, includingthe PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, PC, Mac, PS1, and Xbox Live. Foraudio only, you canuse all those and your iPod, DS, PSP, or generic MP3 player..

Just to recap, you get a massage chair, beverage holder, stereo sound, vibratorssynced to the game, and a remote holder. If youre a serious gamer, price meansnothing, but if youre not, the $400 price tag might give you some second thoughts.

Rock Radio

This cool radio was created by GuusOosterbaan, and is literally a ROCK radio.Initially it was supposed to have a brick shape,

but a thick layer of cement prevented the radiofrom working. The failure inspired Guus for thenew idea - he took a hammer and gave the radioa pure natural stone look. Read on the details of

the creation process in Oosterbaan's blog.

Window Phone

This is probably the most unbelievable gadget in ourcollection. Window Phone is a concept mobile phonethat reflects the weather conditions actually like awindow - it remains clear if the day is sunny, turns frostywhen the weather is cold, and during a rainy day it getscovered with tiny droplets. You can also blow yourbreath on the interactive screen and write messages ordraw pictures on the misty window. Doubtless it will take

quite much time before we see this phone for real, butthe concept is indeed extraordinary and intriguing.

Buddah Phone

Advertised as being the phone for Buddhists, it comeswith a 2.0 inch display screen, 1.3-megapixel camera,FM radio, dual SIM support, audio and video player,microSD slot, even a Buddhistic music box. This fancygadget hardly fits the central concept of Buddhism,which is Suffering. Then again, maybe it isthe influenceof the time we live in - even religion dogmas shouldadapt to the technology era to stay afloat. However, if

not taken too serious, the Buddah phone can be a nicegift for those who love Eastern culture elements indesign. Price: $123

The Edible Race Car

If it's impossible for a race car to be "good" for the environment,maybe it can at least be a little friendlier. Meet the WorldFirst F3project, a Formula 3 race car developed at England's University ofWarwick: it has carrot fibers in its steering wheel, potato starch in its

side mirrors and cashew-nut shells in its brake pads. The wholething runs on a biodiesel mix of chocolate and vegetable oil.

In a small effort to make the car even greener than it already is, thedesigners coated the radiator in a substance that converts ozoneemissions into oxygen

The World's Fastest (Steam-Powered) Car

On Aug. 25, Charles Burnett III smashed a record that had stood for morethan a century: the land-speed record for a steam-powered car. On a trackat Edwards Air Force Base in California, Burnett was clocked at up to 151m.p.h. (243 km/h) in his British Steam Car, which is 25 ft. (7.6 m) long, has12 separate boilers and contains more than 2 miles (3 km) of tubing. It's

affectionately nicknamed "the fastest kettle in the world."

Image Mill

The Image Mill is an architectural projection produced andperformed, in Quebec City, by Robert Lepage and Ex Machina.Representing the largest projection ever done, it requires the use offine technology to project a huge quantity of images and films on thegrain silos of the Quebec Harbour, an oversized screen, 600 meterswide by 30 meters high! In the hands of the creators, this huge massof concrete is in constant transformation, which gives us the strangeimpression of it being alive and talking to us. Leaving the usualclichs behind, we discover the fascinating history of Quebec Citywith its upheavals, its controversies, and its great political andpopular moments.

The Image Mill was created as part of the festivities surrounding

the 400th anniversary of Quebec City. Following the success of the2008 edition, the work has been extended for another five years.After a first creation phase in 2009, the process will be reconductedin 2011 and 2013, during which 20 % of the content will beredesigned, improved or enhanced with new material.

The R/P FLIP (Floating Instrument Platform)The R/P FLIP (Floating Instrument Platform), nicknamed the Flip ship is designed topartially sink so that it tips vertically and half submerges, with bulkheads becomingfloors. The platform houses instrumentation for monitoring weather data etc. FLIPwas created more than 40 years ago by two Scripps scientists, Drs. Fred Fisher andFred Spiess. They needed a more quiet, stable place than a research ship to studyhow sound waves behave under water.


34/80

Flip Ship

All the living and working areas are in the top part of FLIP.Most of the bottom is empty compartments. When these arefilled with air, FLIP floats in its horizontal position. When theyare filled with seawater (which is heavier than air) the lower300 feet of FLIP sink under the water and the lighter endrises. Twenty-eight minutes later, FLIP stands vertically, and

its working areas have risen as much as five stories into theair. During the flip, everyone stands on the outside decks. AsFLIP flips, these decks slowly become bulkheads. (This is thename sailors use for walls.) The crew step onto decks thatwere, only moments before, bulkheads. Inside, decks havebecome bulkheads; bulkheads have become decks or

overheads (ceilings). Some of FLIP's furnishings are built so they can rotate to anew position as FLIP flips. Other equipment must be unboltedand moved. Some things, like tables in the galley (kitchen)and sinks in the washroom, are built twice so one is always inthe correct position.

Levitating Lamps

CreaLev, a Dutch company, has developed levitation technology foruse in consumer projects like these floating lamps. The technologywas licensed to Los Concepts, which has developed two lines oflamps with floating parts.

As far as the desk accessories go, the IFO 3000 is as good as itgets. The base unit will levitate a number of small objects, soldseparately as accessories for the base. From the ubiquitouslevitating globe to a clock, picture frame and color-changing sphere,the add-ons are pretty impressive. The magnetic field keeps thefloating object spinning continuously; when it senses that thespinning is slowing down, it gives a gentle push to start it up again.


39/80

LevitronThe Levitron is even more versatile than the above object floater; you canfloat pretty much any object four ounces or under in its magnetic field. Thebase even has a spotlight feature so you can light up from below whateverwacky thing you deem worthy of floating. You have to put your item into aspecial bowl to make it float.

Robot known as "Cody"


58/80

Robot known as "Cody"

The elderly and people with disabilities often have trouble with daily

activities, like folding laundry, getting groceries, and even maintainingpersonal hygiene. Robots that can put away clean dishes orsort laundrymay aid people enough to let them maintain an independent lifestyle forlonger in their homes or help ease some of the burden of hospital orassisted-living workers. Now Cody has added another task to robots'repertoire of personal assistance tasks: wiping down a person too

bedridden or injured to bathe themselves. A bed bath--where a nurse or family member uses a soapy sponge to clean

off a patient's skin--can be an awkward social situation and make a patientfeel uncomfortable. Instead, a human operator can tell Cody what parts ofthe patient's body to clean. Cody uses a camera and laser range finderabove its torso to gather data before autonomously cleaning the area.

A camera then feeds the information to a microprocessor which, in turn,commands the robot's arm to wipe the selected area, which it swabs first.

In tests conducted by Georgia Tech's Healthcare Robotics Lab, Cody usedimage processing to determine the hue of the "debris"
