Apple iPhone 5 and NFC: Will mobile AR (augmented reality) phones replace your wallet?

[postlink]http://radical-technology.blogspot.com/2011/03/apple-iphone-5-and-nfc-will-mobile-ar.html[/postlink]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4elEPTmttqYendofvid [starttext]Jonathan Allen, Director at SearchEngineWatch.com at Incisive Media, interviews Mark Lister, Managing Director, Imano and Howard Ogden, Founder, Augment Reality, on the subject of augmented reality at SES London 2011. Mark discusses the advent of NFC (near-field communications) and the hope that Apple's iPhone 5 will feature this cutting-edge technology that offers consumers to be able to use their phone as a payment provider, secure entry-pass, and be able to carry your own data and content. Howard says it's been difficult to do the payment process on Android and was not surprised that it embraced NFC first. Howard echoes some of the predictions that the mobile phone will eventually replace your wallet as a means for making payments instantly. Mark says that marketers are missing the boat if they are not already brainstorming ideas on how to integrate AR into their business plans. People are getting what they need much faster and you have to be serving the relevant content as quickly as possible. Mark also predicts that in 2012 Google will be implementing its version of AR and how search marketers can use it to promote local content.

The group members are female PhD students, and they plan to develop new benefits and devices by combining uniquely female perspectives with science.

"Edible information is interesting because it has a direct effect on the senses of sight and taste. One of our approaches is related to health, by sensing the user's physical and emotional state and providing combinations of flavors and colors to match that. Our other approach is for catering at parties and the like, where this system could be used as an entertainment robot. We'd like to develop both of these approaches from now on." http://www.diginfo.tv/2011/03/18/11-0069-r-en.php [endtext]

New technology cuts time in treating heart attacks!

SAN ANTONIO -- Minutes matter when you're having a heart attack. Now, local ambulances will be using new technology to transmit real-time heart readings directly to the hospital, saving precious time.

When you are having a heart attack, fast treatment can mean the difference between life and death. No matter what hospital you're headed to in South Texas, EMS technicians will be sending real-time electrocardiograms (EKGs) to the doctor. The teams on the other end will know what you need before you ever hit the door.

"So this new technology that we're employing will allow those teams and physicians to be able to identify what the problem is and be prepared before that patient even arrives at the hospital," Dr. Craig Manifold, EMS medical director, said.

For instance, an interventional cardiologist at the hospital in New Braunfels can look at his smart phone and see the tracings of an incoming patient on the ambulance. He can mobilize his cath lab team in advance so that personnel and technology will be ready as soon as the patient arrives.

"So the quicker you can get the patient from wherever they are, from their home, their work, into the cath lab, and get that artery open, then you're going to preserve that heart muscle and that's what's critical," explained interventional cardiologist Dr. Charles Bailey.

CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital downtown was the first hospital to have LifeNet in place, but eventually, 13 regional hospitals will employ this new technology.

"Time is muscle," Bailey said.

Methodist Healthcare Ministries is the primary funding source for LifeNet. It's a collaborative effort between all of the health care systems in South Texas. [endtext]

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (2011 Geneva Auto Show)!

[postlink]http://radical-technology.blogspot.com/2011/03/2012-lamborghini-aventador-lp700-4-2011.html[/postlink]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaL3rLSvhHUendofvid [starttext]Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 - A new reference among super sports cars

• Innovative concept and phenomenal performance redefine the pinnacle of the super sports car segment
• Entirely new technology package, unique and powerful functional design language
• Innovative carbon-fiber monocoque
• New twelve-cylinder engine with 515 kW / 700 hp
• Super-fast shifting ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission
• Pushrod suspension
• The very finest equipment and trim, extensive individualization

With the Aventador LP 700-4, Automobili Lamborghini is redefining the very pinnacle of the world super sports car market - brutal power, outstanding lightweight engineering and phenomenal handling precision are combined with peerless design and the very finest equipment to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. With the Aventador, Lamborghini is taking a big step into the future - and building on the glorious history of the brand with the next automotive legend. The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 in late summer 2011.

The technology package of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is utterly unique. It is based on an innovative monocoque made from carbon-fiber that combines exceptional lightweight engineering with the highest levels of stiffness and safety. The new twelve-cylinder with 6.5 liters' displacement and 515 kW / 700 hp brings together the ultimate in high-revving pleasure with astonishing low-end torque. Thanks to a dry weight of only 1,575 kilograms (3,472 lb), which is extremely low for this class of vehicle, the weight-to-power ratio stands at only 2.25 kilograms per hp (4.96 lb/hp). Even the fantastic 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration figure of just 2.9 seconds and the top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) do not fully describe the Aventador's extreme performance. And yet, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are down by around 20 percent compared with its predecessor, despite the considerable increase in power (+8%).

The ISR transmission is unique among road-going vehicles, guaranteeing the fastest shifting time (only 50 milliseconds) and a highly emotional shift feel, while the lightweight chassis with pushrod suspension delivers absolute handling precision and competition-level performance. The expressively-designed interior offers hi-tech features ranging from the TFT cockpit display with Drive Select Mode system. The Aventador will be built to the very highest quality standards in an all-new production facility in Sant'Agata Bolognese. [endtext]
