Literally speaking refrigerators has no exclusivity if they restrict their persona to their customary cooling effect. I always wonder if manufacturers can take a step ahead by accommodating draught beer system or would have masked corner for secret office drink parties. And to mu much anticipation, the Sub-Zero models comes laden with power-packed features and their novel offering exemplifies that. The incorporated NASA designed filtration system refills the air every 20 minutes after purging bacteria, whiffs, and infinitesimal contaminants.
It is a clear indication that food will stay fresher for a longer period of time, thereby erasing the possibility of your fridge producing foul smell. The integrated fridge series is anticipated to hit the market soon in a variety of forms. Well, we don’t have any information about its pricing.

With the surging need for water and comparatively less supply or more wastage, it is now posing a question to our existence. It is the sole thing that helps us rehydrate and disinfect our self. And I feel pity for areas facing the water scarcity that makes them compromise to their routine schedule. Having realized this; the Aquaduct Mobile Filtration Vehicle concept is being devised by designers David Janssens, John Lai, Adam Mack, Brian Mason, Eleanor Morgan and Paul Silberschatz. The mobile concept comes outfitted with a large tank along with a smaller one called the clean tank. The functionality of the concept details from haulage, filtration and storage of water for use in the developing era. While peddling, the pump connected to the knob will pull water from the large water tank (passing through the filter) and lastly to the clean tank.
This procedure can be practiced whilst wandering and also when you are on hold. The clutch within employs and then unfastens the drive belt from pedal crank, enabling the rider to carry on with sieving process. So, are you set to ride over this feature-packed potential concept?

Alright, the catchy headline might seem a big vague as in terms of functionality it’s not a Matrix Unplugged chair and rather is nuclear powered. They say that the industrial finish of the chair comes from the torpedo lifting jaws of an actual nuclear powered nautical. Actually the torpedo lifting apparatus itself was an archetype that was not at all used or bulk-produced and it is this feature only that makes the chair, an elite creation with a difference. Designed and developed by Zoran Milivojevic, an artist and machinist, the chair sports working mechanical hydraulics used for regulating chair’s location and ergonomics.
And if its orange appeal is not of your kinds, then Zoran is all yours to customize the shade along with leather padding. Priced surprisingly at a fatty figure of $37,000, I am sure limited-edition tag is missing from the specks disclosed.

Months ago, we witnessed the unveiling of Shadow Caddy, whose presence is enough to invite the entire gold club robotically. And here stands another similar furniture accessory with an appeal similar to that of a lounge chair complimented by an added feature of offering comfort to your tired feet. Called the RoboStool Footstool, the comforting mechanism devised by Steve is accessible via Parallax Propeller chip and cruise mount kit and sports three modes i.e. universal remote, beacon navigation, and thermal sensor that puts it in a “FollowMe” mode.

The fruition of Sanyo Xacti HDTV tapeless camcorders compensates from intellectual design and appeal with the DMX-HD800, whose manufacturer believes it seizes a “huge leap in image quality” over its precursor that got unveiled last October. You may find it as an exaggeration at our end but being fans of Sanyo’s Xacti 720p camcorders, we can’t help adoring its quality-performance and expedient flash memory-based HDTV execution for a realistic price. The featured above model sports 5x zoom, 8-megapixel imager, face tracking plus a 2.7-inch LCD view screen. Planned to be shipped in Japan on 22 August, it can be seen as a budgeted deal for $468.

Point is it would bring a revolution in the mindset and performance of all random camera companies that believe that an HD camcorder should cost twofold and will be constrained to pursue suit.

If you thought that you will reach the apex of the TV resolution peak after attaining that bitching novel 50 inch 1080p screen installed in your crib, then I would suggest you to rethink. Hailing from England’s Meridian, the latest offering of 810 Reference projection system redefines your experience of throwing wheelbarrows stocked with dough pointing to a problem. The 810 Reference Video System flaunts 4096×2400 resolution (10 megapixels) and is capable to offer quality images even on the most gigantic screen.
It features a video scaler accessible on a technology known as Qdeo, coming from a company called Marvell. Excuse me…its’ not Marvel but double ‘L.’ I am sure that comes equipped with real super heroic scaling power as linking to the projector requires no less than 4 HDMI cables. Silent in functionality, the 810 Reference Video System is anticipated to hit the market by this fall holding a price tag of $185,000.

Ages have passed and we have been living with a hidden belief that we should discard those disturbing arched CRT screens and TVs, but Microsoft (being a mogul) has a different viewpoint this. Having unveiled fancy Surface touchscreen table; the mastermind now wishes that it’s time to move back to curved displays sporting complete 360-degrees of imagery. Featured after the jump (video running above) is a Surface Sphere prototype, a colossal ball that is accessible via company’s Surface technology but applicable this time on a globular interface and display. Comparatively advanced technology and hardware is required to run the Sphere as idea is to warp the pictures along with the interface so that it offers quality visibility when projected onto a dome.
As a ploy, there is a possibility that these cool applications may have potential to develop an interactive globe (as functional in the running video above), hence putting you across various permutations to device 360-degree videos and panoramas.

If that Marineav’s offering of 70-inch weatherproof TV or Sanyos 52-inch screen was successful in convincing you to install one and you thought that it was a competent deal then you are wrong. As with growing demand of outdoor LCD Tvs, more and more company are engaged into its production and today we have Pantel debuting a trio of Mirror TVs at CEDIA 2008. Available in 20-, 32- and 42-inch models, the Mirror TV series is designed for those wanting to add an adaptable display in their restroom, bathe or experience it while undertaking sauna. The 20- and 32-inch versions offer 720p panel against the 42-incher that features 1080p resolution. You can bring one home by shelling out $1,200 but would propose you to gift a bigger edition costing $2,755 for 32-inch and $5,800 to your daddy.
