Self-cleaning bed sheets / A nearby reality

One exaple of self-cleaning textile
technology (there are a few more)

While fabric manufacturers are working day and nigh to perfect their self-cleaning fabrics, one European research lab has set its focus on a very good future application of this new technology:

self cleaning bed sheets

This would be an excellent product if we bear in mind the hundreds of thousands of hotels worldwide, not even mentioning those families consisting of five or more people. It would save enormous amounts of time, money and wash-frustration. Is this something we can expect to hit the market in the next 5 years? We can only pray for it!

Will we be printing our drugs in the future?

Printing medication the future?
Printing pills, drugs, medicin with
a special 3D chemical printer

Whether it regards medically prescribed drugs, painkillers or even party drugs and narcotics, we may not too far from now be able to use a printer to get them. Dutch scientists are currently developing a printer that is able, with the use of specific apps, to

print mixtures of chemicals into pills

. The app would have access to a database containing blueprints of common drugs. It would download the required blueprint and instruct the "chemical printer" to print the correct mixture of chemicals into a pill.

The existence of a drugs printer would give great benefits especially for certain patients who require very specific, customized and carefully measured personalized medication. Today, most medication comes in standard pills and a patient often consumes just a little too much or too little then he needs. Also, change of dosage and adjusting medication according to a patient's food intake on a specific day will become much more efficient.

Google filed patent reveals Google Glass technology to be extended to to car windshields

Google patent for Google Glass and
optical car windshield / window

Last month the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Google revealing Google's extension of Google Glass optical system technology further beyond their initial spectacle / wearable smart device. With this patent,Google clearly envisions their technology being extended through to car windshields.

Google optical car windshield / window

Patent image for optical car window
or windshield by Google

What we find in this Google patent is that the tech giant clearly sees their optical system to be incorporated into car windshields. In more specific manner, as seen in the picture on the right, you can notice a car driver's view. Light pixels could be incorporated into the interactive car window. Further, the light source may be located away from the light pixels on the top side of the windshield. Critical information such as speed, battery levels, traffic information and GPS imaging can be displayed using an array of light pixels. Using the windhield / front window to display all this information would be far more safe, easier and efficient then the conventional ways.
