Robot arm controlled by smartphone or TV remote
control

post from Ubergizmo on 12 September 2012 01:18:40 PM. © Ubergizmo

It looks as though the humble TV remote control would be able to do more than help you surf through the hundreds of available channels, thanks to this Bluetooth-enabled robotic arm. Built by Darren for a high school project, it does not matter if your TV remote control is not one of those snazzy touchscreen models with Bluetooth-connectivity built in, as it will also play nice over a standard issue TV remote thanks to IR (infrared) capability.

Of course, if you happen to own a smartphone that has Bluetooth support, why not? It ought to work seamlessly with the right kind of software installed on your handset. A robotic arm is always far safer to conduct experiments from afar, especially the dangerous ones that have a higher risk of combusting right in front of your face. Just don?t get fused to the robotic arm in the event of an accident ala Dr. Octopus, although you would look pretty weird with this stuck to some part of your body.

iPhone 5: Its finally here!

post from Ubergizmo on 12 September 2012 01:15:11 PM. © Ubergizmo

We?re sure that after the iPhone 4S was revealed last year, more than one iPhone fan was disappointed with what was unveiled. It was in no way Apple?s fault as the rumors and alleged leaks were to blame for raising expectations, but for some reason this year, the leaks and rumors have been pretty spot on, rather surprising given that Apple is a company well-known for its secrecy. If anything we?re surprised that we weren?t surprised.

Anyway if the iPhone 5 is the redesigned iPhone that you?ve been waiting for since 2011, here it is in all of its glory. Today Apple has finally taken the wraps off their next-gen iPhone and based on its design, the previous leaks were right on the money. (more…)

Fermentation-powered pump delivers drugs sans
battery

post from Ubergizmo on 12 September 2012 01:14:20 PM. © Ubergizmo

A drug delivery patch can be time activated, and some of the more complex ones require batteries within to keep them running. Well, things run (pun not intended) a little bit differently with what a couple of Purdue University researchers have come up with – a small pump that is powered by fermentation. This technology could eventually snake its way into transdermal drug patches which are capable of delivering drugs from an internal reservoir in a controlled manner. The pump itself will rely on a combination of sugar and yeast alongside water to generate carbon dioxide, thanks to heat from the patient?s body. Accumulated CO2 will create pressure within, resulting in the required amount of energy for squeezing a drug sack that is located on top of the fermentation chamber.

Well, this certainly sounds like a medical development not to be trifled with. After all, who knows, you might actually be your very own walking beer factory if you have a large scale model of this hanging off your back. I jest here, but who knows the future, really?

Diablo 3 PvP patch remains inactive for now

post from Ubergizmo on 12 September 2012 01:09:14 PM. © Ubergizmo

There is a fair number of Diablo 3 gamers who have gotten bored of the game, with someone actually maxing out the recent Paragon Levels, so what?s next to keep folks interested in the title? How about Player vs Player (PVP)? It seems that some Diablo fanatics did pick up a hidden addition within the latest patch that comes in the form of a button which will just light up but does not do anything, although the kicker when said button is active is to lead folks to the Public Test Realm and enjoy some insane PvP bouts. This is where the kids gloves are taken off, and you can for once be proud of the gear you wear as you vanquish your opponent(s), in addition to tweaking your armory to make sure that you have the most well balanced character out there.

Blizzard had this to say concerning PvP, ?We?re going full steam ahead on the PvP patch, which will also include a number of game changes unrelated to PvP, and we look forward to sharing more about that as we get closer to opening up a PTR, where you?ll be able to test out our changes ? and enjoy mercilessly slaughtering one another.?

Are you looking forward to PvP in Diablo 3 in the future?
