Chinese inventors created Pencil Pusher, which
turns paper,
destined
for recycling, into pencils.
The machine looks like a three-hole punch crossed
with an electric pencil sharpener.
Here’s how the pencil-making gadget works: You
insert wastepaper into a feed slot. The machine
draws
the paper in, rolls and compresses it, and
then inserts a piece of lead from a storage chamber
located in the top of the device. A small amount of
glue is added before ...
voila ...
a pencil slides out
from a hole on the side.
Translucent
Concrete
developed by Hungarian
architect is called LitraCon. It is based on a matrix
of parallel optical glass
fibers
that can transmit
light and color from the outside...
The tiny device ‘Mini-Heart’
is formed in the
shape of a
c u ff
meant to be placed around a vein,
where its rhythmic contractions help to drive
blood flow while also preventing the vein from
becoming distended. The cuffs can be made from
cardiac muscle cells derived from the patient’s
own adult stem cells, this prevents a chance of
rejection. Soon the research team hopes to conduct
animal trials. The researchers attempt to grow the
cuffs directly on the veins in the body.
d. A team from the University of Washington desig
ned silicon,
plastic card-sized device, prototype
of microfluidic, for pancreatic cancer diagnosis
that is able to analyze a whole
tissue
biopsy for
3D imaging. The device allows the tissue undergo
the same series of processes as would occur in a
pathology lab, but on a much larger scale.

The LightRail zipper, recently developed for
Olympic teams, zips closed to create a waterproof,
almost invisible
seam.
It is bonded to the clothing using laser-cut fabric
and an adhesive that is similar to seam tape, which
reduces weight and
bulkiness
and eliminates the
need for stitching. The zipper also features a
dock
for the zipper head, which allows it to close more
tightly and eliminate gaps.
