Nowadays USB interface for charging is common among all the electronics gadgets. It used to provide connectivity for synchronization but now it is capable of providing stable 5V voltage for charging at the same time. Thanko, a Japanese famous online shop has came out with the idea of integrating a small Lithium-Ion battery into a bracelet that provides voltage source to charge portable devices inclusive of PSP (Playstation Portable), DS Lite, mobile phones and almost every devices that came with compatible USB interface.

Unlike other portable charging, the idea came out to be quite useful since the bracelet is very lightweight and wearable most of the time. Weighted at only 80 gram with dimension of 26 cm X 3.5 cm X 1.2 cm, it is equipped with a 1500 mAH high capacity Lithium Ion cell for backup charging. The user just needs to connect the charging cable to the device and it is ready to be used.

No pricing has been announced yet. But if the manufacturer can combine this innovative idea with existing products such as watch or other fancy functions, it will be more value added and attractive to end consumers.

Major advancements in technology like this one are what makes the future worth looking forward to. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have invented an artificial cornea that may well be the key to restoring sight for our people with damaged corneas.

“Our artificial corneas are based on a commercially available polymer which absorbs no water and allows no cells to grow on it,” says IAP project manager Dr. Joachim Storsberg. “Once our partner Dr. Schmidt Intraokularlinsen GmbH has suitably shaped the polymers, we selectively coat the implants: We lay masks on them and apply a special protein to the edge of the cornea, which the cells of the natural cornea can latch onto. In this way, the cornea implant can firmly connect with the natural part of the cornea, while the center remains free of cells and therefore clear.” What is special about this protein is that it can survive the later thermal sterilization of the artificial cornea without being damaged, as it does not have the three-dimensional structure typical of large proteins. Such a structure would be destroyed during the sterilization process, leading to changes in the material’s properties. The optical front part of the implant is coated with a hydrophilic polymer, so that it is constantly moistened with tear fluid.

Researchers in Dr. Karin Kobuch’s working group at Regensburg University Hospital have already tested these corneas in the laboratory and found that their cells graft very well at the edge and cease growing where the coating stops. The optical center of the implant thus remains clear. The first implants have already been tested in rabbits’ eyes - with promising results. If further tests are successful, the technology will be tried on humans in 2008.”
