Smart homes technology tested in real homes - the Giraffplus project

A safer and healthier old age – that is the aim of GiraffPlus, an FP7 project led by researchers at Örebro University, Sweden. With a focus of developing sophisticated aids for the elderly in close collaboration with the intended users, the project is now about to test the new technology in real homes. A pressure sensor can monitor the time that a person has been located in e.g. the bed. They can also be placed under carpets, in sofas etc. The system has already been tested in a demo apartment in Örebro, but the next step is for researchers in Sweden, Italy and Spain to evaluate the new technology in real homes. Two users in Örebro are about to have the system installed. During the autumn, another three homes will be added. In the same way, the technology will be introduced in Malaga and in Rome. All in all, the GiraffPlus system will be tested in 15 different homes in the three countries, says Anette Forsberg, who is overseeing the primary healthcare aspects of the project. (www.oru.se).

Atlantis Discovered in the Bermuda Triangle: The Sunken City Features Giant Pyramids and Sphinxes

Two scientists, Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki, working off the coast of Cuba and using a robot submersible, have confirmed that a gigantic city exists at the bottom of the ocean. The site of the ancient city — that includes several sphinxes and at least four giant pyramids plus other structures — amazingly sits within the boundries of the fabled Bermuda Triangle.

According to a report by Arclein of Terra Forming Terra, Cuban Subsea Pyramid Complex, the evidence points to the city being simultaneously inundated with rising waters and the land sinking into the sea. This correlates exactly with the Atlantis legend.

The disaster may have occurred at the end of the last Ice Age. As the Arctic icecap catastrophically melted it caused sea levels to rise quickly around the world, especially affecting the Northern Hemisphere. Coast lines changed; land was lost; islands (even island continents) disappeared. At the end of last Ice Age sea levels were nearly 400 feet lower than present day levels. Once the waters began to rise, they rose swiftly. Conceivably, no technology then, or now, could have saved Atlantis from its watery grave. The evidence that land in what’s now the Caribbean also sank into the sea concurrently seems pretty certain.

According to journalist Luis Mariano Fernandez, the city was first discovered decades ago, but all access to it was stopped during and after the Cuban Missile Crisis.The science team of deep ocean experts, archaeologists and oceanographers found ruins of ancient buildings 600 feet below the ocean. They say the city is Atlantis.

Drone Delivers ‘Flying’ Sushi Burgers at London Restaurant

The flying tray can deliver food at speeds of 25 miles per hour – exponentially quicker than your average waiter.

Catch it if you can — your food, that is. The London-based chain YO! Sushi, known for zipping raw fish around on conveyor belts, needed a new stunt for delivering burgers, its latest menu item. So it created an entirely new delivery method: the flying tray.
designyoutrust.com
Your food will be delivered directly to your plate by one of the new drones that YO! Sushi is testing out at its flagship store in central London. Dubbed the iTray, the four-propeller flying waiter is outfitted with a flat top to carry plates and is controlled by a nearby waiter with an iPad. Two cameras on the machine help guide it to the proper starving patrons. As soon as the food is retrieved, the trays fly back to the kitchen.

YO! Sushi helped pioneer conveyor-belt sushi in the U.K., allowing the freshest sushi to circulate through the restaurant. The chain recently introduced a sushi burger, filled with teriyaki chicken or kimchi

salmon and topped with toasted rice “buns.” To promote the new product with a bit of gimmickry, YO! Sushi looked to technology once again. “The concept came from our thinking of ‘How are we going to show people how light and exciting and fun thi food type is?’” YO! Sushi CEO Robin Rowland explained in a promotional video. So it may be just a temporary idea after all, even though the flying tray can deliver food at speeds of 25 m.p.h. — exponentially quicker than your average waiter.
