Products of
Tomorrow
Computer
Vision App Monitors Diabetes
Researchers at the University of Cambridge (UK) developed computer vision techniques to read and record glucose level, time, and date displayed on a typical glucose
test via the camera on a mobile phone. The technology, which doesn't require an
Internet or Bluetooth connection, works for any type of glucose meter, in any orientation, and in a variety of light levels. It also reduces waste by eliminating the need to
replace high-quality non-Bluetooth meters, making it a cost-effective solution. The team created a free mobile
phone app, called GlucoRx Vision. Users simply take a picture of their glucose meter and the results are automatically read and recorded, allowing much easier monitoring.

In-Air Multi-UAV
Docking
NASA Langley Research
Center developed a vertical takeoff and landing
(VTOL) unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) design that is a multi-vehicle concept with a large " parent " UAV that permits smaller
" child " UAVs to dock wingtip-to-wingtip while in
flight. The parent UAV is VTOL and operates as a
wing-borne vehicle. The children UAVs resemble
the parent but at smaller scale and can be deployed
from the wing-borne parent unit, perform their
task, and re-dock before the full assembly returns
to base.

Digital
Communication
Through Touch
Instead of inserting a
card or scanning a
smartphone to make a
payment, a new technology from Purdue University
enables someone to simply touch the machine with
their finger; the body acts as the link between a
card or smartphone and the reader or scanner. The
new technology would add the convenience of
making a secure payment in a single gesture without having to take a device out of your pocket. The
technology could also replace key fobs or cards that
currently use Bluetooth communication to grant
access into a building. Instead, a person might just
touch a door handle to enter.
