Amazing New Life-Saving Boot Insert Detects Landmines Within 6.5 Feet

It is estimated that more than 110 million active landmines are scattered across 70 countries around the world. An equal number of landmines are stockpiled, waiting to be planted. These landmines remain active for decades and kill thousands of people each month … most of them women and children.

Colombia has a major landmine problem
Colombia is at constant war due to anti-government rebellions and, as a result, a lot of the area is infested with landmines. According to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), Colombia is the second-most mined country in the world after Afghanistan.

Groundbreaking technology introduces life-saving solution
Lemur Studio, a Bogota, Colombia-based design firm, has designed a life-saving solution called SaveOneLife. The SaveOneLife boot inserts can detect landmines from a distance of 6.5 feet. The design has already received numerous awards.

How does it work?
SaveOneLife is equipped with tiny microprocessors that pick up electromagnetic signals produced by a large metal object like a landmine. Embedded radio transmitters then send a message to a wristband interface.
The wristband interface alerts wearers if they come within a 6.5 foot radius of a landmine by displaying the exact location of the mine on a small screen, ruling out the need for any guesswork.
Lemur Studio is currently trying to gain much-needed funding for the project by pitching its concept to the military. If successful, this product could soon be saving innocent peoples’ lives every day.

Austrian banks won't support Hypo Alpe Adria 'bad bank': finance minister

(Reuters) - Commercial banks will not support a "bad bank" to absorb toxic assets from ailing nationalised lender Hypo Alpe Adria, Austrian Finance Minister Michael Spindelegger said on Monday.

"It became clear that this bank involvement and privatisation model de facto is not possible," he told reporters after a meeting on whether the government could get through its preferred option for handling the lender. The state would now review other options, including a state-run bad bank, and had not ruled out an insolvency, he said.

Austrian central bank Governor Ewald Nowotny said that a state-run bad bank for Hypo should not increase Austrian debt spreads. He renewed his opposition to letting Hypo go bust.

Pocket-sized smartphone projector turns any surface into a touchscreen

Currently seeking funding on Indiegogo, TouchPico is a device that can wirelessly project an 80″ display from Android smartphones, with a touch interface.

This is part of a series of articles that looks at entrepreneurs hoping to get their ideas off the ground through crowdfunding. At the time of writing, each of these innovations is currently seeking funding.

When it comes to showing something on your phone to friends or co-workers, it’s not always ideal to have them crowd round the small screen size of typical mobile devices. While it’s possible to push the display to larger screens such as connected TVs, the element of touch control is still limited to the smartphone. Currently seeking funding on Indiegogo, TouchPico is a device that can wirelessly project an 80″ display from Android smartphones, with a touch interface.

The device is a highly-portable projector around the same size as the Samsung Galaxy S4. When connected to an Android phone over wifi, the projector is able to display its contents on any suitable surface up to 80 inches in size. Using the Touchpaper stylus, users can interact with their phone using the projected display, meaning they don’t need to carry out tasks on one screen while everyone else is looking at the larger display. Businesses can present their meetings in a more interactive way and educators can let kids use apps and games collaboratively on a large screen. On top of this, TouchPico can simply be used as a basic handheld projector for laptops and other computers.

Watch the video below to learn more about TouchPico:

TouchPico is available to pre-order via Indiegogo for the special price of USD 329, or can be reserved for that price for a USD 99 deposit. The crowdfunding campaign will run until 26 August, after which the device is set to have a full retail price tag of USD 499. Are there other ways to attach digital interactivity to any type of surface?

The Asus PadFone X 'Family'

ASUS PadFone 'phablet'

The ASUS PadFone is a smartphone manufactured by ASUS.  The phone is marketed with companion tablet dock and keyboard dock accessories intended to improve battery life and overall functionality.

Released in April 2012, the ASUS PadFone It fits into a 7-inch tablet dock. Although it's not the same as the ASUS PadFone mini 4.3, revealed in December 2013 by ASUS.  Since that operates on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and is skinned with the ASUS' ZenUI.

The ASUS PadFone has a 4-inch WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) IPS+ LED-backlite display, the ASUS PadFone mini has a8-megapixel 'PixelMaster' rear f/2.0 BSI camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 8GB of built-in storage, and a 4.5Wh 1170mAh non-removable polymer battery.

Asus Padfone X with Android 4.4 KitKat

The PadFone X runs Android 4.2.2 KitKat and comes loaded with the usual array of Google services like the Chrome browser, Drive, Gmail, Search (including voice), Plus, and Photos. There's also Hangouts,

Other than its predecessors, there's nothing quite like the Asus PadFone X. As a smartphone/tablet (and sometimes even laptop!) hybrid, it is an amalgamation of two devices aiming to give users the most seamless and efficient mobile experience.

Measuring 5.67 inches tall and 2.85 inches wide, the handset is comfortable to hold, and easy maneuverable with one hand.With it's brushed-aluminum design it sports tapered edges  that adds just a dash of style to the otherwise bland-looking device. However, at 0.39 inch thick and weighing 5.29 ounces, it's a bit heftier than most high-end 5-inch phones.

With a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top edge , and  a sleep/power button and a volume rocker to the right . It has a Micro-USB port flanked by two circular ports at the bottom , which are used for plugging into the tablet dock. Located on the back is a 13-megapixel lens with accompanying flash, and a barely there speaker grille right below it.
