One of the biggest challenges that wearable gadget makers like Google, Fitbit, and Jawbone face is convincing people to don their devices in the first place. A startup called OMsignal thinks the key is to fit the technology into something you already won’t leave the house without: a shirt.
Four years ago, Scott and Julie Brusaw announced their provocative concept of "Solar Roadways," a system of modular solar panels that could be paved directly onto roads, parking lots, driveways, bike paths, "literally any surface under the sun." Since then, the Brusaws have received two rounds of funding from the Federal Highway Administration as well as a private grant to develop their project.

El informe del Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) sobre la actividad sísmica en el entorno del proyecto Castor concluye que existe una "relación directa" entre los más de 400 seísmos que se produjeron en septiembre de 2013 en el litoral norte de Castellón y la inyección de gas.
El estudio, además, revela la existencia de una falla en la zona hasta ahora no identificada y asegura que no se tuvo en cuenta el informe de "impacto de sismicidad inducida" para determinar la peligrosidad del proyecto Castor. Teniendo en cuenta la peligrosidad sísmica de la zona, todo indica, según el informe, que el origen de la serie sísmica registrada tiene "una relación directa con la inyección de gas en el proyecto Castor".
Historically in the U.S., about one new business has been formed every minute, while another shutters its doors every 80 seconds. This life cycle of birth and death – referred to as business dynamism – is a key driver of innovation and to overall economic growth, giving rise to the great “gales of creative destruction” that the economist Joseph Schumpeter identified as the motor of force of capitalism.
The U.S. economy is less dynamic across all major industries as well as across geographic regions.
Apple’s rumored $3.2B acquisition of Beats Music would be its biggest ever and a break from its prior strategy of generally avoiding huge M&A transactions. One of the reasons posited for Apple’s motivation in acquiring Beats would be the rise of streaming music services and apps for music consumption. Of course, others point to Beats “cool” factor as another reason and even the possibility of a biometric headphone sensor.
But if you believe the streaming music hypothesis, how does Beats stack up versus competitors?
In medical examiners’ offices around the United States alone, some 25,000 unidentified human skulls, many of homicide victims, await identification. That process can be greatly aided by generating a 3-D reconstruction of what the person’s face may have looked like.
Now the price of one key technology that allows this, and has many other applications besides, is dropping fast. The technology is called a haptic stylus—a gadget connected to mechanical apparatus that gives force-feedback sensations to let artists “feel” what they’re doing as they sculpt a 3-D image on the screen, such as from a CT scan of a skull.
