World's First Non-Contact Thermometer

A company called Kidz-Med, Inc. has launched a new thermometer called, "Thermofocus", claiming it as the first thermometer to take accurate body temperature readings without touching the body.The product's website says it can read infrared heat eminating from a person's forehead, and give results as accurate as a rectal thermometer, and more accurate than an ear thermometer.The reason why they recommend pointing the device to the forehead is because the head is supplied with blood from the temporal artery, which receives blood through the aorta and the carotid artery, guaranteeing a considerable flow of blood. Moreover, the forehead is the only part of the body close to the brain that is not covered in hair.Kidz-Med says you can also use the Thermofocus to take the temperatures of baby formula, bath water, and food.This might be the start of the first Medical Tricorder?

The Seiko Earth watch

The Seiko Earth watch is a cool looking time piece, instead of havingboring old hands it contains a small rotating 3D Earth and just likethe real Earth it does a full rotation over the space of 24 hours.
The watch itself is made out of light weight titanium (which may bereflected in the price) and to tell the time there is a small timezone indicator for the hour and a "small orange dot" to indicate theminutes, which may be slightly more readable than a binary watch butwho's buying this just to tell the time.
The one major drawback to wearing the Earth on your wrist is theprice, coming in at $499.99 it's not exactly cheap though on the plusside this will certainly add to it's uniqueness. The Rotating EarthWatch is available at Think Geek, submitted by Izzy
