Seems a very interesting concept. Not sure I understand it completely but it seems the cable and the sensor are independent of each other

A New Breed of Medical Screws Dissolve In Body and Promote Bone Growth

The related applications vis-a-vis bone tacks and screws are pretty obvious. From CNET
A New Breed of Medical Screws Dissolve In Body and Promote Bone Growth: "

The screws used by doctors to repair broken bones and torn ligaments enable recovery from a wide range of injuries. Unfortunately, they also leave holes in bones, require secondary surgery for removal, and make going through airport security a real pain. But by crafting the screws from a special designed composite of polymer and mineral, researchers at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute have managed to solve all those problems in one fell swoop.


The researchers make the screws from a combination of polylactic acid, a biodegradable polymer already used to make surgical implants, and hydroxyapatite, the mineral that forms 50 percent of natural bone.


Like existing screws, the polylactic acid dissolves harmlessly in the body, saving patients the second surgery required for the removal of the older, stainless steel screws. Also, unlike regular polylactic acid screws, which leave gaping holes in bone, the hydroyxapatite interacts with the surrounding tissue to promote bone growth that naturally fills in the holes made by the screws.


And that's not all! Manufacturing the screws out of the hydroxyapatite composite also simplifies production. Molding a pure polylactic acid screw requires temperatures around 2552 degrees Fahrenheit. By comparison, the mold for the hydroxyapitate composite screw only needs to reach 284 degrees, saving time, money, and energy.


Cheaper, healthier, and more energy efficient? Wow, Chalk one up for German engineering.

New Gadget Eliminates Pain in Dental Injections By Tricking Your Brain [Gadgets]

I just saw this on one of my favorite sites GIZMODO. Is this really the future of dental anesthesia?



New Gadget Eliminates Pain in Dental Injections By Tricking Your Brain [Gadgets]: "

People of the world who hate hate HATE going to the dentist, rejoice: DentalVibe is a new device that completely eliminates the pain when they are sticking a stainless steel needle into your gums. All by cleverly fooling your brain.


Developed by Dr. Steven G. Goldberg DDS and Bresslergroup, DentalVibe vibrates at irregular intervals. While the brain ignores rapid rhythmical vibration, it notices pulses that are not regular. These vibrations are transmitted by A-beta nerve fibers, which are faster than the slower C fibers that transmit the sensation of pain caused by the needle penetrating your gums.



The result is that your brain will only notice the percussive vibration, but not the pain of the needle tearing apart the flesh of your gums until it hits the bone. Clever. Now they only have to solve the problem of the drilling, the tubes stretching your mouth, and the muzzak making you brain melt. [Bresslergroup]
