Cooking with Diva

Dreaming to cook with a sexy, elegant, and powerful diva.
Well, it is not a dream anymore.
Presenting, Diva De Provence Cooktops..




This is one of the latest technology from North America which is developed in the technology of magnetic induction. Induction works by passing an alternating current through coils made of ferromagnetic material (magnetic metal) contained in the stove's hobs (area where the cooking vessel sits). An alternating current passed through the coils creates a magnetic field of the same frequency. When a pan of magnetic based material, such as steel, the magnetic field creates a current in the pan itself, exciting the molecules in the metal and heating up the pan and not the cooktop. When the pan is removed from the cooktop, the energy transfer stops.

Some people may say that magnetic induction will cause harm to the eco and environment, but inversely the truth, it cause no harm and eco-friendly. Diva safety feature had proved it. If a pot boils over, there is no burning on the stove because the pan is the one that was heated. Diva also had a technology to protect against grease fire. With this induction, there will be no radiant heat, so, it is safe from explosion and also from children accident.


With this breakthrough in cooking, it seems that in the future, people will realised that this technology will help a lot with cooking activity. It looks like a perfect date with someone, and of course, it is with Diva.

Watch and Handphone

Everyone have a handphone. Everyone also have a watch on their wrist. Two different technologies, great technologies that had been a masterpiece in human civilizations. Through innovations and creativity, technology had been developed so that both of this important gadget make extra easier for human to use. Perhaps, everyone had been heard about a wrist-handphone.

 

This is Wristomo, which was developed by NTT Docomo for only the user in Japan region.

This handphone can be used as a PDA and also use windows software such as Words and Excell. However, the problem lies in its usage where each time a user want to use it, he must take off the handphone on his wrist, making it not so convenience. But further development had been notified and updated.

In this wristhandphone, there are no keypad, and all number phone must be uploaded from computer in the firsthand. It has " scroll and peck" pad. Other than that, it also had been equipped with internet and e-mail gadgets to comply with the necessity of todays life.

It is to be believed that this new technology will be much-sought in the future. The first step in developing this technology had been taken, and in the future, it will become more and more useful for human life.

Coffee hot everywhere-concept

iCup is an innovative concept specially designed for Apple that can heat up any drink inside the cup by connecting it with the user’s notebook, as well as any device that supports USB connection, via a USB cable anywhere.  The key goal of the project is to ease life with more manageable features that ensure uninterrupted working opportunity, doesn’t matter the user goes to the park, library or working in the office. The featured Apple logo of the cup is actually a heat indicator that shows the temperature of the inside content, blue for cool, orange for warm and pink for hot, while enhancing the aesthetics. Moreover, it incorporates a displaceable handle that offers convenient fit into any small area and the changeable upper portion allows easy washing. Moreover, iCup can save a lot of time and people are no longer need to constantly go to the kitchen just to get a hot or warm coffee. they can get just it besides their laptop! Besides that, the society can save a lot of money because they don't have to go to Starbucks or Coffee Bean just to get a cup of hot coffee. iCup will do it for them. However, it consumes a lot of energy. Since it can be connected via USB connection, it will used up a lot of electrical energy from where it is connected. For example, if iCup is connected with your laptop the battery power would not last long.

Solar Trees during the day to illuminate the night

Fusing nature and technology, designers over at Vinaccia Integral Design have conceptualized the Solar Tree – an innovative street lighting system that gets powered by renewable solar energy. The Solar Trees are a tribute to the energy and beauty of Mother Nature.


The tree-shaped structures have six branches, each of which is equipped with monocrystalline silicon solar cells that generate up to 100W of clean electrical power. Since the panels are mounted at different angles, they help in generating a constant energy output. The electricity generated by the system is stored in onboard battery packs that can power the streetlight for up to four days without sun exposure.


The “trunk” of these solar trees is crafted from lightweight aluminum and is painted in different range of colors to suit the environment. The energy is supplied to a 48W LED lamp that has brightness equaling an ordinary 400W halogen lamp. 


The good thing about this Solar Tree is it saves up a lot of electrical power that are being use in many streetlight nowadays. As the solar energy is restored in the panels, it will light up the street without having to use the electric. So the goverment no need to cut anymore tree in the forest to build dam to generate electrical energy. This will help to save the environment and Solar Tree is environmental friendly. 

Future Technology : iPhone with Holograms

“Introducing, the new  iPhone, with integrated, hologram, voice call.” Can you imagine this by 2020, or perhaps sooner? For many of us who watched the “Obama/McCain,” US election on CNN, we might of noticed a hologram of a female reporter. However, this used a few cameras on a 360 degree axis, and one very large “green screen,” to create the illusion. Nevertheless, it has created some media in the process, and now questions remain…when will we see, and use holograms?

George Lucas might be smug as he created the same techniques on Star Wars!

Future Technology: Personal Flying Suit

For the past couple of years the world’s top space program NASA has been working on a future design for the very first personal flying suit. The puffin, as they call it, measures to be approximately 12 feet in length with a 15 foot wingspan. The aircraft module would land vertically, allowing for a person to step directly into it and has blades similar to that of helicopters. The puffin concept would relatively light weight and would use electric motors, allowing for high altitudes as well as being eco-friendly.

Now to another note: is the Puffin concept practical for consumer use? Highly unlikely, or at least not for a long time. First of all, this type of flying suit would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, so not many people would ever get to use one, as least for quite some time. Secondly, if this flying suit were to take the place of automobiles, modern travel would be extremely chaotic and the number of fatalities would drastically increase. Any type of mechanical failure or collision with another flying suit would be devastating and regulating travel would be nearly impossible. Yes, the idea is magnificent and I think most of us would like to have an experience like this someday, so hopefully this type of future technology will be able to advance, thanks to NASA.

Future Gadgets And Technologies By HP

" True creativity lies in making the complicated simple"
          .........by Phil Devlin, from HP


     In facing the challenges of the future technologies, HP has come up with few brilliant ideas that might become one of the famous gadget in the future. In addition, the basic principle of this innovation  is, 'always connected' experienced to the user. 
     There are some examples of technology innovation that have been successfully created by HP. The first one is a smart looking digital wallet which will keep track of all your transaction.It also like a tablet device which is ultra thin and provides pen device for input other than touch screen.

    The next innovation is a flexible, portable display which will act as a personal reader. The concept of this device is 'always on' and connected to the wireless hub/watch

    The last one is a 'personal wireless gateway' with wearable form factor which look like a watch and is capable of wireless connectivity to act as a wireless hub.

     However, behind all these nearly perfect innovation, there must be the pros and cons, especially towards the society and also the cultures. For instance, with all these innovation, people will get expose with unhealthy lifestyle, and also will easily get harm because of too much exposure with radiation such as electromagnetic waves that been carried together with these devices. The good sides of these innovation are, they are tend to make our life much easier and able to complete varies task in a short period of time.

Double Pane LCD Screens

'These panels could create a sense of depth when graphics are overlayed' 

       ....by Mac Funamizu, the designer of Double Pane LCD screen.

    Basically the innovation of screen has gone through a lots of transformation. From time to time, it has turn into something which is much lighter and thinner, thus, it is possible if we are going to have the double pane LCD screen in the future. This innovation allowed us to see on both sides of the LCD panel. This type of screen can be used as a computer screen, cell phones and also display screen.

Helper Robots : The HRP-2 Dishbot

The Roomba vacuuming robot is great, but it can't think by himself because it just got no personality. Enter the HRP-2 humanoid robot, which looks like both a helpful ally in the war against chores and a new best friend at the same time.
In development at the University of Tokyo, the HRP-2 is being taught how to wash dishes with a combination of motion capture and virtual simulation. Its purpose is to be just like a real dishwashing mother, as a University of Tokyo professor says: "We're focusing on failure detection... If you move a cup while the robot is trying to grasp it, the robot just recomputes its actions." It's also likely to slap your face if you don't eat your peas. The dishbot isn't limited just to cleaning dirty it also can do a lot of thing, on as the pictures of the HRP-2 vacuuming like Rosie from the Jetsons. 3D sensors should help the robot realistically sense its surroundings.

The HRP-2 might came handy for the housewife, so they don't have to do lot of house work. They can have lot of time to have leisure or do other thing while just let the HRP-2 do the work, but HRP-2 need to be supervise also for making sure they don't do anything wrong.

Video Eyes-Glasses

As travel gadgets become increasingly portable and versatile, they also get more personal. Our cell phones,  iPod and BlackBerry devices are like portals into our own private worlds of music, photo collections and e-mail accounts. When we use them, we usually forget about the surrounding world. But for those who covet privacy and seek personal refuge, these gadgets might not be enough. The people around you can still hear half of your cell phone conversation, and the guy sitting beside you in the crowded airport terminal may to peek at your message or e-mails.

Short of finding a secluded corner or speaking in a whisper, there's another way to escape into your own world while you travel. Some developers have come out with video glasses that allow you to watch videos anywhere you go. Although they take advantage of the same principles of binocular vision (which we'll learn about later), these cutting-edge movie glasses aren't like the old, handheld View-Masters of your childhood. These video glasses offer hands-free convenience as well as a big-screen experience.

Video glasses aren't a new idea in the high-tech world, in which they've been known as a kind of head-mounted display (HMD). They're also called personal media viewers. No matter what you prefer to dub them, you can't deny that HMD technology has improved tremendously in the past couple decades. When first widely introduced to the market in the 1990s, consumers were underwhelmed with the results. In the form of bulky, ridiculous-looking helmets, such impractical novelty gadgets failed to entice buyers.

Today, they might be ready for a comeback. Modern video glasses usually take the form of relatively lightweight glasses. At first glance, some versions look like an average pair of sunglasses. Others have a more futuristic appearance that reminds many of the iconic eye-visor donned by the "Star Trek" character Geordi La Forge.

They all perform the same basic function, however. Next, we'll take a look at how these glasses display images.
