KeyMe stores keys digitally, cuts them when you forget yours

David Szondy

Getting locked out of the house is especially frustrating when you’ve forgotten the “safe” place where you hid the spare key. As an alternative to sleeping in the garden shed or emergency locksmith fees, KeyMe allows you to store a digital version of your house key in the cloud from which a duplicate key can be cut on demand.

The KeyMe kiosk is fairly straightforward in terms of operation. After creating an account, the kiosk scans your key and stores the pattern in the cloud for later access. When you want to cut a new key from the pattern, you can visit any KeyMe kiosk, which will retrieve the pattern after you identify yourself by a fingerprint scan. You then select from a choice of keys, including decorative keys and a combination key and bottle opener option, and the kiosk does the rest.

Já vimos muitos Exo-esqueletos, mas este, é um Exo-fato! 
De facto!
Porque tem a novidade de ser uma espécie de Exo-esqueleto Flexível, o que abre novas utilizações, como por exemplo, um sistema auxiliar para a Coluna Vertebral!

Soft exosuit offers an alternative to rigid exoskeletons

Ben Coxworth


Powered exoskeletons show great promise both for augmenting the abilities of able-bodied users, and for rehabilitating the disabled. That said, they also tend to be hard-bodied contraptions that don’t look particularly comfortable (or light) to wear. Researchers at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute recently demonstrated what they hope will be a more user-friendly alternative – a “soft exosuit.”
Sensors on the wearer’s lower back, hip, calf and ankle detect user-initiated movements. The system responds to those movements by selectively pumping air into bladders within the suit, providing support and a boost to the user’s own muscle power.
