Nest Protect : Smart Smoke Alarm By Nest!

Nest Labs, a home automation company headquartered in Palo Alto, California has recently come up with Nest Protect that aims to save homes from smoke and carbon monoxide but in a smart way.

Yes, with almost everything getting ‘smart’ these days, the team at Nest also decided to design a gadget that would work in conjunction with the smartphones replacing the regular beeping alarm with a voice alarm that can pinpoint the origin of smoke and carbon-monoxide.

The gadget continuously provides the warning before going off. The circular light fixed in the middle of unit transits color to yellow if minimal smoke is produced like from stove or from the bag popcorn bag you just heated in microwave. However, in case of true emergency i.e. heavy smoke emissions, the light turns to red color and the alarm goes off!

The team at Nest has taken into consideration many facts like the airflow, smoke chamber along with a number of sensors: heat, motion, carbon-monoxide, photoelectric and light. Specific details about the gadget are not yet official but as per the reports; batteries, alarm and voice chip have been housed inside the gadget only.

Nest Protect Safety has already won approval from California State Fire Marshals and Underwriters Laboratory. Plus, the British agencies too has signalled a green light for it. The latest update in this concept is the app ‘Nest Thermostat’ that controls Nest Protect and other gadgets.

Apparently, another big news that has reached our ears is that Google has bought Nest for $3.2 billions. Experts believe that if the rumours are true then, undoubtedly this acquistion would turn out to be much more fruitful to Google which is making remarkable advancements in all fields. Well, we too don’t the truth but one thing we can certainly say is that Google never falls short of ideas; ideas which are worth executing. It won’t be surprising if we see some more designs being put forward by Google!

Measure Glucose Level With The New Google Smart Contact Lens!

Some people just can’t resist doing anything and everything and so is with Google. The latest member in Google’s arsenal is a contact lens that employs a wireless chip along with a mini glucose sensor which would help to monitor the blood sugar level.

Numerous researchers have been going on in different research centers around the world, but the leading internet giant Google has once again gained the remark by bringing it out as a product.

Google has begun testing the contact lens which measure the blood sugar level in tears, thus informing the user about the disease so that he may find ways to tackle it as early as possible. The research is being carried out at Google X Laboratory with Mr. Babak Parvis and Mr. Brian Otis as the leading members of the team. Basically, they have embedded a wireless chip and a mini glucose sensor between the layers of contact lens material. Well, this is what led the team to develop a prototype for it that reads blood glucose level every second and if we consider that everything works fine then, indeed it’s quite an impressive achievement.

What is Google striving for is how to alert the user about the abnormal glucose levels? One idea under consideration suggests employing small LED lights which would illuminate whenever glucose level falls below the normal value.

However, Google admits the fact that they’re still far away from actually making the gadget commercial. The company has carried out plenty of clinical researchers and is soon going to submit the product to FDA for further scrutiny and approval. This apparently raises the hope that soon we might be witnessing these smart contact lenses in our closest market!

Google preferred themselves over any other traditional glass designers for designing these frames which have the necessary shape.

Definitely, you want to know the cost of these frames. Don’t you? Well, according to the reports the frame might be on sale today and it will cost you $225 and Google will charge you additional $1,499 for Glass which means that the whole set, frame and Glass, will cost you $1,724. Still, something is missing. Isn’t it? That’s your prescription lens. Google will not help you with that.
