USB Digital Pregnancy Test


When you heard the word “pregnancy test kit”, it is simple strips that can be bought in drugstores and let you know your pregnancy status by testing your urine. Yet technology helps us to live life simple and convenient, and proved that anything can be turned into circuits, chips, and other computer related items. And now you can easily find out, if you are pregnant without even need to visit a doctor. You can use the Pteq, the USB Digital Pregnancy Test which was commercialized by ThinkGeek.com.

This USB Digital Pregnancy Test is like a typical test pact. The process starts off like regular pregnancy test.  Below are the following steps using the USB Digital Pregnancy Test:

  1. Pee on the stick, specifically the absorbent test strip at one end.
  2. Remove the cap from the other stick end, to reveal the USB connector.
  3. Pop the device in your computer.
  4. When you’re done with the test result, pop it out to your computer and change the strip. You will be able to review the results for more 5 minutes and then automatically off.

When you stick the device on the USB port, the power from your USB port will trigger a process called the electrospray ionization on the device, which creates a spectrograph of the various masses for your analysis. You don't need to see the actual spectrograph yourself because mass analysis happens inside the device. This USB Digital Pregnancy Test only analyzes for specific chemical makeups. The mass spectrometry software on the device comes with several sequenced hormones, including hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin), hCG-H (hyperglycosylated hCG - for detection before your first missed period), and LH (luteinizing hormone - for detection of your most fertile days).

The difference between this gadget and a usual test pack was it gives you a detailed spectrograph and analysis of your hormone levels. Another was if you are pregnant, it will display a cute baby face in digital format. In addition, using it as a tester for pregnancy you can also make use of the plotted data to predict your cycle, which can be used to tell the best time to get baby. This gadget is reusable which has 20 test strips and cost no more than $18. It is 99% accurate in detecting hCG, hCG-H and LH. However, these hormones do not necessarily indicate pregnancy or ovulation, respectively.

Wrist Keyboard


    Have you heard about a keyboard reducing wrist pain? Yes, there is a wrest keyboard designed to relieve wrist strain while typing; it is called iKey AK-39.


    Wrist keyboard is use when someone is not actually typing, and it can help someone keep his or her hands above the keyboard, because the rest provides a cue to keep the wrists up.  During a typing break,, people have their hands above the keyboard, with the fingers striking down. Having the hands above also makes it easier to reach remote function keys on the keyboard. The hands can be allowed to slide back so that the heel of the palm sits on the keyboard wrist rest, maintaining an ergonomically sound hand position while taking a break. After the break when the typist is ready to resume, the hands can be lifted from the wrist rest and placed in the proper position for typing. In addition, it has a curved back provides a secure and comfortable placement on the wrist, and the keyboard layout is optimized to provide alphanumeric entry.  It can be operated in the rain or other harsh environment. Also, this keyboard can be operated in the rain and other harsh environment.

    It is intended for military and emergency personnel use. It is also incorporates a D-pad mouse and an integrated Force Sensing Resistor pointing device with left- and right-click functionality. It’s built for drops, spills, and harsh elements too.  It features electro-magnetic shielding to protect it from harsh environments, alongside adjustable and night-vision compatible green LED backlighting, and a snap-on protective faceplate to eliminate accidental keystrokes or to stop pressing more than one button at a time when wearing gloves.

    According to the product description, “The AK-39’s small-footprint design features essential components for military and public safety applications, including an integrated Force Sensing Resistor TM (FSR) pointing device with left- and right-click functionality, and adjustable green LED backlighting that is also available in a night vision (NVIS) compatible configuration. Designed with gloved users in mind, the AK-39’s snap-on faceplate eliminates accidental key strokes and can be easily removed to clean the pad.”

    This keyboard accessory should be combined with other ergonomically-friendly measures. It is important to make sure that the keyboard is at the right height, and that the distance between the user and the monitor is appropriate. Making small adjustments to lighting, seating configuration, and so forth can also make a big comfort difference. Following ergonomic guidelines at a workstation can greatly reduce repetitive stress injuries and make people feel more comfortable at work.
