Baby Climo air purifier is adorable, possible deadly

If you're not totally swayed by the evidence that certain air purifiers cause harmful levels of ozone emissions, why not put your money where your mouth is and stick one by your infant? These Baby Climo units from Takara Tomy filter out bacteria, mold, and odors, all while using just a tiny amount of power -- and looking like tiny little ozone-spewing aliens. Japan-only, but it looks like importers have 'em for the brave at $229.

Pollen-sniffing robots put on duty in Japan

Filed under:

In yet another example of robots getting the short end of stick, a Japanese weather forecasting company is set to deploy a swarm of some 200 pollen-sniffing robots throughout the country, which will warn us humans of any impeding pollen-related dangers (and no doubt scare a few unsuspecting animals in the process). As you can see, the robots are of the spherical variety, and measure a scant one foot across and weigh in at about 2.2 pounds. Sticking true to creepy robot conventions, they also boast glowing eyes, which light up in one of five different colors to indicate the level of pollen in the air. Somewhat curiously, that information takes a rather roundabout way back to the company's headquarters, with 200 allergy suffers volunteering to keep watch on the robots and rely their status back to the company.

Yes, she's likely small, just not that small. Instead, you're looking at a new 9,000 lumen commercial projector from Sanyo -- the world's brightest dual-lamp LCD for business use. Measuring 20.8 x 29.8 x 10.6-inches and 61-pounds, the 1,024 x 768 resolution LP-XF70 boasts the world's first two-lamp, three-mirror, photosynthesis technology and Active Maintenance Filter system said to minimize maintenance. It offers a 37% decrease in power use when compared to Sanyo's existing business model while increasing light efficiency by 160%. Better yet, the projector can achieve its 330W output from plain ol' 100V AC -- no need to run a special 200V circuit just for the projector. A widescreen-XGA LP-WF20 projector capable of just 6,000 lumens was also announced. The ï¿¥3,675,000 (about $33k) XF70 will be available in Japan on January 11th while the WF20 hits on January 21st for ï¿¥2,625,000 (about $23,500).

Tymphany’s LAT250 subwoofer: smaller than you’d think

Filed under:


Believe it or not, that thing you see above actually is a subwoofer, albeit a wee one. Tymphany's LAT250 (Linear Array Transducer) deviates from the traditional cone approach and instead "displaces air using a linear array of multiple smaller diaphragms." A pair of internal motors drive both sets of diaphragms, and the unit itself can be mounted either horizontally or vertically depending on your install needs. Most notably, this thing reportedly checks in at just 10.24- x 3.5-inches in size and weighs only 1.86-pounds, but it can somehow still handle 100-watts RMS. As you'd expect, Tymphany is aiming this unit at users with tight space requirements, and while a variety of impedance configurations are available, the standard 4-ohm dual-coil version is available now for $58.
