Smart Pill Sheds Light on Intestinal Ailments
The smart pills helped pinpoint where gases are produced and shed light on microbial activity in these areas.
LIDAR Gives Sight to Autonomous Vehicles
Laser-based imaging and ranging provides vision for autonomous vehicles, but their mechanical scanner is a throwback that many engineers would like to replace.
Google's Project Tango to Debut in Lenovo Smartphone
3D mapping gives Tango-enabled devices the ability to know where they are and how they move through space.
Wi-Fi Sensing from Cellphones Could Improve Bus Service
The system collects MAC addresses as well as the time and location those addresses are detected from Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signals.
Samsung Refrigerator Brings IoT to the Kitchen
The company aims to make the refrigerator a food, music, television and smart home "hub."
Electronic Glasses That Treat “Lazy Eye”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of electronic glasses that combine both vision correction and occlusion therapy in one device.
Ford Seeks to Integrate Autos and Wearables
Lane-keeping assist could become more sensitive if a smart watch sent data to the vehicle conveying that the driver didn’t get enough sleep the previous night.
NREL Develops System to Wall Off Smart Grid from Hackers
The two-way communications technologies work like an independent "electricity-only internet" with access restricted to utilities.
