Nonin announces regional oximetry devices that can be used with an iPhone


Nonin Medical has announced that it will be demonstrating the world’s smallest regional oximetry system and the first Apple iPhone/iPod-enabled oximeter at MEDICA in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Regional oximetry (rSO2) is a monitoring tool that continuously detects the oxygen saturation status in the brain and tissue beneath the sensor noninvasively.


It is typically used in intensive care environments.

The regional oximetry system consists of Nonin’s SenSmart Universal Oximetry signal processor with an embedded battery and Bluetooth Smart wireless technology. This technology allows the oximetry system to connect to any monitor utilizing Bluetooth Smart. It also plugs into Nonin sensors for both regional oximetry and pulse oximetry interchangeably. It will be demonstrated with connectivity to an iPad.

The iPhone/iPod-enabled oximeter is a sleeve that fits fourth generation iPhones and iPods and contains an embedded Nonin SenSmart Regional Oximetry sensor. Once attached to a site of interest–such as a forehead–it displays measurements both numerically and graphically on the screen of the Apple device used. Its software allows for the data to be reviewed, saved or sent.

Nonin Medical’s Chief Technology Officer explains, “When Nonin invented the first fingertip and wireless fingertip pulse oximeters, we enabled pulse oximetry monitoring to expand beyond clinician use and hospital settings in convenient, affordable ways. Similarly, we anticipate that these investigative technologies — because of their compact size, portability and connectivity — could bring more convenience, value, functionality and choice to the marketplace.”

The technologies are still investigational and there is no timetable set for commercialization.

Kite aerial photography just got easier with an iPhone onboard the Sparrowscope


With all the news lately about quadcopters, consider Sparrowscope to be a lo-fi version of one. Copters are popular camera rigs for shooting footage from overhead, but can be expensive to buy and hard to use. The Sparrowscope lets you achieve aerial photography by using a kite and a smartphone. That’s right, a kite, that toy you used to be play with as a kid.

The Sparrowscope device is created by Ori Barbut, who has been doing research on robotics, electronics, and software design since graduating from the University of Toronto with a Master’s in Engineering. Since 2012, Barbut has been working to develop an easy way to take aerial photos after a discussion with friends during a picnic, and the idea of using a kite came to mind. Consumed with the idea, Barbut went to work on creating what would become the Sparrowscope.

The ways the Sparrowscope tilts and pans.
While the concept is simple, the Sparrowscope is anything but. Here’s how the whole thing works. First, you secure an iPhone, iPod Touch, or Android phone to the three elastic harness cords. The Sparrowscope is then connected to the smart device through the headphone jack. Audio signals from the Sparrowscope app tell the contraption (which has a built-in circuit board and recharges via Micro USB) how quickly to tilt up or down the phone tray, and how fast to turn the paddlewheel for panning left or right. The app can be set to Solo mode, where the smart device automatically takes photos, or can be paired with another iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or Android device as ground control (the app allows an iPhone to “talk” to an Android device), giving you a live-view image and controls by swiping at the screen. The Sparrowscope automatically shuts down to save power. Barbut has been testing the device for 16 months, and has never damaged the smart device attached.

After the Sparrowscope is set up, it’s attached to the kite, and here you’ll need to utilize the kite-flying skills you’ve developed to send the whole thing into the air. Three kite options are available, from a simple base model to a more advanced one. All kites come with a 300-foot braided line. Naturally, you should fly a kite where it’s safe, free from wires and obstacles.

Barbut has successfully tested the device around Toronto. He acknowledges that the concept, known as kite aerial photography, isn’t new, but says the Sparrowscope “will be the most advanced one to ever be commercially produced…and leverages the technology in your smartphone or iPod Touch to make kite aerial photography significantly easier and less expensive than ever before.” The project is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter (which launched at the tail-end of the 125th anniversary of the first recorded kite aerial photographs by Arthur Batut, who was interested in using it for military reconnaissance), and if it’s successfully funded, it’ll ship to early backers in May 2014. A pledge of $190 will get you a Sparrowscope, more if you want to add a kite to it.

Before you roll your eyes at the project, realize that flying a kite was how Benjamin Franklin did his research on electricity. If it worked for him, it should work for aerial photography too.

LG makes fun of the iPhone From an iPhone

It’s always fun to see other companies trip over themselves trying to come up with a joke on Apple every time the latter is going through some sort of controversy. This time it’s BendGate (yeah they just add -gate to everything now), where some iPhone 6 Plus units were found to be getting bent if enough force was applied to them (we’ll keep aside the fact that few were actual incidences and most were done on purpose on YouTube to get pageviews for now).


But while it’s cool to make fun of your competitors, the least you could do is, well. not use the product you are making fun of. Someone at LG France clearly forgot about this and in trying to join the #BendGate bandwagon ended up tweeting the joke from an iPhone, as revealed by Twitter.
The tweet in French in says “Our smartphones don’t bend, they are naturally curved” and features a picture of the LG G Flex, which, indeed, was curved before it was cool. But come on, the least you could do is not use an iPhone when you are making fun of it. Shouldn’t LG employees be using LG phones anyway?

Classroom An Advanced Tool by Google to Help Teachers

An easy-to-use tool to support teachers and simplify their workload by Google. Its completely free, user-friendly and can be easily integrated with Google Docs, Drive and Gmail.




It is a wonderful tool by Google unveiled on Tuesday providing assistance to teachers organizing their assignments and communicating with other students. Its very helpful in organizing the curriculum of students both in and out of class. Teachers can easily communicate, assign and collect homework paperlessly.


This will reduce the workload of teachers spending too much time in doing other things such as grading quizzes, collecting and returning piles of assignments, but as the technology advances, it doesnt have to be like this any more.
