Modular Patient Room
When cruise ships are being built, the cabins are just slotted in as prefabricated modules – it’s faster and easier than building each one from scratch, within the ship. Well, Philadelphia-based EIR Healthcare is taking the same approach to hospital-building, with its MedModular prefab patient rooms. Being manufactured by real estate development company Admares, each MedModular room is delivered to […]
Auto Detect & Control Your TV
As well as being a pretty capable games machine, the PS3 was a popular media player, in large part thanks to its Media/Blu-Ray Remote Control. Sony may have chosen to focus primarily on games with the PS4 and PS4 Pro, leaving those utilizing the console’s impressive media capabilities to do so using the less-than-ideal standard controller, but the new Cloud […]
Ultrasound Patch For Monitoring Blood Pressure

World’s First Solar Yacht
It’s quick, it’s quiet, and it’s covered in 300 square meters (3,229 sq ft) of solar panels. The 78-ft (24-m) electric SolarImpact yacht is a concept designed as the first of its kind – an ocean-going solar-powered yacht. An 800-kWh battery on board gives it 10 hours of cruising capability, which can be extended by topping up the battery when […]
