PhoneSoap

The only phone charger that cleans while it charges.You charge your phone every day, but do you clean your phone as much? PhoneSoap Charger is proud to be the first and only cell phone charger that cleans and sanitizes your phone while it charges. Now you can augment your daily charge with a sanitizing process. With PhoneSoap, a charged phone is a clean phone

100%
Phone Safe

There are lots of ways to sanitize your phone, such as with soap, bleach or fire, but there are no completely safe options. Until now. PhoneSoap Charger is the safest and most complete way to kill all the bacteria growing on your phone. It does not use any of the methods that will damage your phone – Just pure, clean light.

• No heat
• No liquid
• No chemicals

Here is How it Works:
UV-C Light kills germs

The two UV-C lamps in PhoneSoap Charger produce a very specific wavelength of light which encompass your phone and pass through the cell walls of bacteria and virus to impair their DNA. Once the DNA is compromised, the cells die and can no longer cause infections or disease. The best part, PhoneSoap Charger kills "SuperBugs" that have developed resistance to the chemicals and antibiotics that used to be effective. Let there be light!
 

How Effective is PhoneSoap Charger?

Two powerful UV-C lights and a curved, reflective inner surface allow the light to surround your phone to ensure the destruction of any unwelcome guests. While PhoneSoap Charger was created to focus on cell phones, anything you put inside will be safely sanitized. If it fits, it cleans. PhoneSoap Charger only takes 4 minutes to completely sanitize your phone, and a blue indicator on the front will let you know when the sanitizing is complete. Take a look at the results and see for yourself!

Charge
Any Phone!

PhoneSoap Charger is universal! Designed to fit even the largest smartphones and engineered to charge any phone. PhoneSoap Charger ships with a Micro USB cable, which most phones use to charge. If your phone uses a different connecter, PhoneSoap Charger has a compartment with a standard USB port where you can plug in the cable that comes with your phone.
For example, if you have an iPhone, open the compartment and replace the shipped Micro USB cable with the iPhone cable that came with your phone. You can plug in Apple’s Lightning cord, 30-pin cord or any other USB charging cable. It's incredibly simple! If it fits, it cleans. If it plugs in through USB, PhoneSoap Charger will charge it! A green indicator on PhoneSoap Charger let’s you know when your device is done charging.
 

FLIR for Iphone 5 or 5s

FLIR Systems, Inc. announced two new products at CES designed to put thermal imaging into the hands of consumers. The first is a new, consumer-level infrared thermal camera sensor, while the second is a slide-on attachment for Apple iPhone 5 or 5s smartphones that makes use of said sensor. Both could be used to locate lost pets in the dark, look for energy leaking from your house, or to watch for wildlife.

Thermal cameras have a wide variety of uses, including by law enforcement to look for criminals at night or when hiding in brush, as a night vision system by the military, and by environmental inspectors looking for heat leaks from faulty insulation. They are also standard equipment on many UAVs.

FLIR says the technology also has many applications at the consumer level, including locating heating or cooling leaks in buildings, finding studs in walls, or locating water damage. Outdoor uses might include night navigation, wildlife observation, determining if your fish is fully cooked, or that a campfire is completely out. Firemen certainly could find many uses for the device, searching for hotspots or victims in smoke

The company's Lepton Sensor is an OEM module that is the first IR thermal microbolometer that is near the size of the small cameras made to fit into a smartphone or tablet. Unlike some thermal cameras, this small unit does not require an external cooler and has all of its image processing in a single chip. It is also compatible with FLIR's patented Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging Technology, which allows pixels from a visible light camera to be combined with the low resolution thermal image to create an enhanced picture.

The Lepton Sensor will be available to OEMs and developers, along with a software development kit. FLIR sees the low-cost thermal sensor being put to work in other tablets, diagnostic tools, cars, toys, building controls, assembly lines, machine vision, and medical devices, and even gaming devices for human tracking.

Demonstrating the proof of its convictions, the company has also released the FLIR ONE. This is a packaged, consumer version of the Lepton IR sensor that takes the form of a sleeve that attaches to an Apple iPhone 5 or 5s. This could create entirely new uses for thermal cameras, as the FLIR ONE combines the thermal camera with the iPhone's abilities to capture, film, transmit, and share images.

"FLIR ONE represents a dramatic step in our pursuit of 'infrared everywhere.'" says Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR. "As the first truly consumer focused thermal imager, FLIR ONE introduces thermal imaging technology to a completely new group of customers."

The unit also includes extra battery power for the IR sensor and to extend the life of the smartphone, with the power pack providing about two hours of IR camera use. The FLIR ONE has two cameras – a thermal camera and a more conventional visible light camera. The special chip in the Lepton core combines the images for enhanced resolution, adding detail to the low resolution thermal image.

A worldwide rollout of the FLIR ONE is planned for the coming months, and the price point is expected to be around US$349. The FLIR ONE case will come in gray, white, or a designer gold color. An Android model is expected later in the year.

Garmin Car Camera and GPS

Reliable, Easy-to-use HD Driving Recorder with GPS

• HD GPS standalone driving recorder with 2.3-inch LCD display
• Snapshot feature allows you to take still images, even remove from vehicle to capture collision damage
• Integrated microphone records the sounds inside your vehicle
• Incident Detection sensor automatically saves footage of collisions and incidents

Record in High Definition

Garmin Dash Cam is an easy-to-use high-definition driving recorder with 2.3-inch LCD display. It records both audio and video, with GPS for detailed time and location data pinpointing exactly where and when events occurred. Mount the camera to your windshield and record your drive in 1080p, 720p or WVGA. Dash Cam records in a continuous loop, using the included 4 GB microSD™ card. To add more memory, add a larger microSD card (accepts up to 32 GB, sold separately. Class 10 required). Play back the footage on the LCD display or review later on your computer.
The camera has a wide-angle lens that captures the entire road. Its integrated microphone gives you the option of recording audio inside the vehicle.

Your Eyewitness That Never Blinks

No need to worry about starting and stopping. If Dash Cam is plugged into a powered source, it is recording.
All footage is stamped with time and location so you know exactly when and where events occurred. When reviewing footage on your computer, you’ll have a record of latitude, longitude, date, time, speed and direction of travel.
The camera features automatic incident detection (G-Sensor) with customizable sensitivity settings. When an incident – like hard braking or a collision – is detected, your camera knows to save the current, last and next recordings; thereby, preserving a complete record of the event.

Phantom and FC40

Last year right around this time, DJI Innovations released its original Phantom quadcopter. The fact that the aircraft was designed to carry a GoPro camera made it quite popular. Then in November, the company started selling the Phantom 2 Vision model, which features its own built-in Wi-Fi-controlled HD camera. It's pretty awesome, but at US$1,199 it's priced $720 more than the base Phantom. Now, DJI has introduced two new models that occupy the middle ground between those two price points. The onboard camera isn't the only thing that sets the Phantom 2 Vision apart from the Phantom. It also has an improved flight control system – meaning it's easier to control – plus its new battery allows for flight times of about 25 minutes as opposed to 10 to 15. Additionally, the quadcopter features self-tightening propellers, so you don't need to worry about one of the suckers popping off in mid-flight (as long as you initially mounted the right ones to the right motors). Well, if you keep all of those other improvements but lose the built-in camera, you get

Not only are the new props on this version and the Vision self-tightening, but they're also larger, allowing the quadcopter to carry a heavier payload than the original model. This is an important consideration, as the Phantom 2 is optimized for use with DJI's Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal camera mount. This particular model of the Zenmuse is designed for use with a user-supplied GoPro HERO3. It lets users remotely tilt the camera up and down, plus it automatically adjusts the orientation of the camera on two axes, in order to maintain a level shot. A dedicated lever (and a separate channel) on the Phantom 2's control unit lets users remotely-control the gimbal. The base Phantom 2, which includes the Zenmuse control module but not the gimbal itself, sells for a suggested retail price of US$679. For $879, you'll get the gimbal as part of the package.

To get a sense of this model, imagine the original Phantom – along with its 10 to 15-minute battery – then add a built-in 720p/30fps video camera. That may not be as snazzy as the Phantom 2 Vision's 1080p camera (or a GoPro), but it should still do nicely for videos that are just being posted on YouTube or viewed on the user's computer. As is the case with the Vision, an app allows users to control the camera with their mobile device, and to view first-person footage in real time from the quadcopter. They can also record footage on an SD card, located in the camera. In the case of the FC40, however, the camera angle has to be set by hand before each flight – on the Vision, the camera can be tilted by remote control. The Phantom FC40 is priced at $560. The original Phantom is still also available, for $479. To see what can be done with the Phantom 2, check out the following video.

DoorBot

The DoorBot is a Wi-Fi-enabled doorbell that lets you see and talk to the visitors standing outside your entryway from an iOS or Android smartphone. When someone rings the bell, it initiates what is basically a video call on your phone. You don't even have to be at home, and you can set the DoorBot to work with multiple devices so that everyone who lives in your home can use it. It costs $200.

Extendable Magnetic Flashlight

The moment your hand brushes against your keys and they begin to slide to the back edge of the table, your adrenaline rises. You know that if you don’t act quickly enough, they’re going to to teeter on the edge and fall into the abyss (aka behind the table it’s on). Even if you don’t catch it in time there’s a way to retrieve it, but if it’s behind a more permanently installed item such as a washer or dryer, it’s not going to be fun to go after.

This happens to all of us with a variety of everyday items or tools. Your first utensil to start the rescue mission is a flashlight, and from there something to snag and retrieve your item. If you find that more often than not it is a metal object that could be drawn to a magnet, then the Extendable Telescoping Magnetic Flashlight will be just what you’re looking for. It might look like a regular flashlight on the outside, but it can extend to close to two feet long, and has a magnetic tail and head so you can pick up smaller or heavier items alike.

It has 3 LEDs for the light portion, and the head has 360 degree directional rotation on a bendable neck so it can adjust exactly how you need it. There is a pocket/belt clip so you can have it at the ready in case this sort of thing happens more often than you’d like. Made of aluminum, you can choose the body to be silver, blue, red, or pink. It’s a pretty handy tool that will cost you around $21.

Thermal Imaging Monocular

It is not every day that you get a monocular that will allow you to observe subjects using thermal imaging technology, but when such a day arrives, you know for sure you would have to blow the monthly budget for it. Case in point, the $2,500 Thermal Imaging Monocular. This particular Thermal Imaging Monocular will be different from binoculars which normally rely upon visible light or night vision devices that happen to be affected by bright light exposure, as it will feature an uncooled, amorphous silicone microbolometer that is capable of detecting infrared thermal signatures from up to 500 yards away.

Specially designed for nighttime use as well as daytime use in inclement weather, the Thermal Imaging Monocular is able to “see through” rain, snow, fog, smoke, and vegetation, and it will work between -4° F and 122° F and up to 90% humidity, making it a tool under all circumstances. Other hardware specifications include 2X optical zoom, ±5 diopter eyepiece adjustment, and a 316-foot field of view at 500 yards, allowing the scope to be able to acquire subjects in a jiffy and easily for observation, showing them off on a .31″ OLED in high contrast black and white at 640 x 480 pixel resolution.

Pocket Grapler

This is a fanciful version of what being a spy is like in our heads. Attending high-class parties, driving awesome cars, being the object of affection to many, and fighting off enemies in style. Having the right equipment for the job is one thing, but actually carrying out that job is another thing entirely. You need to be fit, stealthy, have nerves of steel, and of course, the cool gizmos help (though resourcefulness is likely more useful than a utility belt).

Regardless of that information, I like to have nifty spy gear around in the exceedingly off-chance we can find a use for it. The Pocket Grappling Hook is one such item that won’t fit the use you have for it in your head, but can have real-world use. This was created to snag trip wires from a safe distance, rather than repelling up or down the walls of a secure facility.

Before anyone asks, no, this is not meant to hold you up, and definitely shouldn’t be used for life support functions. The spikes can unscrew and be stowed inside of the water resistant O-ring body. If you need it to be heavier when you throw it, simply fill it with dirt or water and toss away. This will cost you $35, and won’t serve any real purpose other than aesthetics unless you actually find yourself in need of snagging trip wires on the regular.

Iron Man Coasters

When Tony Stark throws a house party, it's going to be over the top. However, no matter how much you want that canapé, you'd better not put your glass of scotch down on that original mid-century modern furniture.

Kite Patch

For most of us, mosquitos are nothing more than a nuisance we have to tolerate when we spend time outdoors — for the rest, a mosquito bite can mean illness, or even death. The Kite Patch ($35) renders people virtually invisible to mosquitos, without the harmful, nasty chemicals found in many of the solutions we use today. These small stickers adhere to your clothing, disrupting mosquitos' ability to detect the carbon dioxide we exhale. Even better, when you buy ten Kites, they'll send ten more to a family in Uganda, where mosquito-born illnesses are more severe than anywhere else in the world.

Gatling gun motorcycle

Wow this is amazing. Show Stoppers Studio's built this dual Gatling gun motorcycle from scratch. It is truly a piece of work. It would be great in fighting zombies, ha ha. I would love to have one of these if I ever learned to ride a motorcycle.

Sig Sauer Samurai

This is the custom Sig Sauer Samurai. It is pretty unique and I like it. I don't know the price yet but it sure to be a lot.


Formed like the armor of an ancient Samurai warrior, this pistol keeps up the spirit of the old, famous warrior’s caste. The hand-crafted dragonhead of massive silver on the top of the slide mediates an impression of the artificial handcraft of the old Japanese sword smiths.

Bell & Ross Flight Instruments Collector's Box

You've seen this year's crop of Flight Instruments, and now it's time to see the complete collection. The Bell & Ross Flight Instruments Collector's Box ($32,900) includes all six of the highly-limited "instruments" — the BR 01 Heading Indicator, BR 01 Airspeed, BR 01 Climb, BR01 Horizon, BR01 Altimeter, and BR01 Turn Coordinator — encase in a handsome wooden and metal presentation box, with a numbered plaque, as well as holes in the top to allow the faces of the timepieces below to show through. Only 99 boxes are available, so if you're looking to add these to your collection, you'd best get a move on.

Micro Hatchet

The Joseph Bowen Micro Hatchet TAD Edition is unlike any other knife we’ve worked on. It’s not everyday that a knifemaker decides to condense the idea and capability of a hatchet into something you carry around your neck. Through great engineering, fine craftsmanship and the use of an Inuit style blade, Joseph was able to make this dream a reality with each Micro Hatchet taking 60 steps to produce.

Features:

• One key advantage to the ulu blade is that the Micro Hatchet can easily be used one-handed. Additionally, due to it’s design centering the force of impact into the middle of the blade and overall blade shape, you can cut harder objects like bones.
• Skeletonized to reduce weight, the knife features one large center hole to aid in different grip retentions and positions.
• Chamfered edges around the entire hatchet make it easy to grip and reduce any potential fray with 550 Paracord.
• With the combination of CTS-HXP steel and chisel-ground ulu blade, the Micro Hatchet has a small overall package with incredibly aggressive cutting capabilities.
• Despite it’s size, the knife is just as comfortable with a three-finger grip or in reverse grip.
• A Kydex slip sheath was designed to be worn around the neck. In addition to reducing weight, the back holes can be used for a lanyard.
   

With a family history as blacksmiths and commercial fishermen, Joseph Bowen learned at a young age the importance of a good knife. Over the years while on his way to becoming a professional tattoo artist, his interest in knives never waned. He took side jobs as a blacksmith and refined his woodworking and leather tooling skills. With the help of a chance encounter, Joseph for the last few years has spent all of his time and energy into his knifemaking, learning the ropes from the legendary Mike Snody.

Bulletproof Whiteboard

Wow I know its bad but what is our world coming to. I guess you need protction at our schools. In response to the most recent school shooting in Connecticut, military armor maker Hardwire has taken it upon themselves to create something that I never thought you’d need in school – bulletproof whiteboards and bag inserts to provide teachers and students with their last line of defense.

When faced with a shooter, they can basically take the bulletproof whiteboard and use it as a shield to protect themselves. The whiteboard comes with two handles so it’s easy to grip and handle. While the whiteboard might not be large enough to protect the body of an adult, it will be enough to at least shield the vital parts of the person’s body

They have also made inserts for your kids backpacks. The bulletproof whiteboard is available in two sizes: the smaller clipboard version costs $109 (USD), while the larger 18×20 inch board is priced at $299. It can shield a person’s head and torso. The bulletproof bag insert is priced at $100.

SticknFind

If the number of “finding” systems cropping up lately is anything to go by, we seem to be quite a forgetful bunch. One of the latest such systems, known as StickNFind, looks to be particularly simple – just some little adhesive tags, and an app on the user’s smartphone.

The tags are about the size and shape of an slightly-fat U.S. quarter dollar. Each one contains a circuit board, a replaceable watch battery, a buzzer and an LED light. They also each have an adhesive backing, which allows them to be stuck to things like keys, TV remotes, or any number of other things that tend to go AWOL.
Using a custom app on a paired iOS or Android smartphone, users can assign specific tags to specific objects. Should they subsequently need to find one of those objects, a display on the phone’s screen will show them how far away it is – as long as it’s within the maximum range of about 100 feet (30 meters).

It won't show what direction the object lies in, but users can determine that by moving in different directions and seeing if they get closer or farther away from the item. They can also simply get the app to sound the buzzer, illuminate the light, or do both on the missing object’s tag.
If the object is out of range, users can instruct the app to notify them when they – and their phone – later get within its range. The app can also alert users when a tagged object moves more than a given distance away (useful if the tag is attached to a child in a shopping mall, for instance), or when they forget an object and walk away without it (also useful if the tag is attached to a child in a shopping mall, perhaps).
Up to 20 tags can be paired to one phone. When any of their batteries get low, the user will be notified via the app.

As mentioned, there are already similar systems available, such as the Gadget Hound, U Grok It, and BiKN. All three of those, however, incorporate hardware that is used either instead of a smartphone, or that the phone must be docked into.
The designers of StickNFind are currently raising production funds on Indiegogo. A pledge of US$35 will get you two tags (or “stickers,” as they’re referred to) when and if they go into production – the planned retail price for two is $49.95.

Ball-shaped Camera

If you’ve ever played XCOM: Enemy Unknown, you’ll be familiar with the Battle Scanner, a gadget used by the game’s sniper class. The Battle Scanner provides visibility to an area covered by fog-of-war. A new company is currently working on a real world equivalent of that device. And not just because the Sniper won’t share his toy with the rest of us


The yet unnamed device is being developed by Bounce Imaging. The device will have six cameras that can take two pictures per second, which will then be stitched together to provide a 360º degree of its surroundings. It will also have infrared LEDs to help it take pictures in low light. The ball will send the 360º view to a mobile device so the user can scout and plan in safety. Aside from the cameras, the ball could also contain various sensors, such as ones that analyze temperature, chemicals or radiation




As with the Battle Scanner, this concept device will be extremely useful in combat situations. But Francisco Aguilar, the founder of Bounce Imaging, was actually compelled to start his company after the earthquake in Haiti back in 2010, where his concept device could have helped find survivors. Aguilar says the device will be tested by SWAT teams and Massachusetts police in January 2013 and could have a retail price as low as just $500 (USD).

ATC Chameleon Dual-Lens Action Cam

Between GoPro, Contour, Drift and several others, the market for digital action camcorders has gotten mighty saturated. So with all the competition out there, how do you make your action cam stand out from the crowd? Well, you could do what Oregon Scientific has done with their new ATC Chameleon

This unusual action camera has a unique feature in that it has a pair of moving lenses which allow it to simultaneously capture two angles at the same time. It can record two different 170° views at the same time, so you can capture a total 340° field of vision. This allows you to see the action from more than one viewpoint on a single split-screen video. In addition, each lens can be moved up to 180° – one moves side-to-side, and the other moves up and down. Just flip a switch to choose between side-by-side or top-and-bottom video modes.

The camera offers 1080p resolution from each lens, however, the FAQ states that you’ll probably need to work with the video in 720p. According to my math, two 720p images side-by-side is 2560×720, so they must have to do some funny business with black bars and downscaling to get that to fit into either a 720p or 1080p video. Still, it looks like a pretty cool way to capture more than one angle without having to splurge for two cameras.

Oregon Scientific offers a wide a variety of optional mounts – most of which sell for $29.99 – which make it easy to attach the camera to vehicles, helmets, surfboards, handlebars and more – however, the camera itself doesn’t include any of these. While the camera is splashproof, you’ll also have to spend extra if you want the waterproof case. That said, the ATC Chameleon is priced at just $199(USD), so it’s pretty reasonable to begin with

Switch 8 Solar Power

If you were put off by the price of Goal Zero's Sherpa, then here's something that might be more deserving of that slot in your backpack. The Switch 8 Solar Charging Kit costs $100 and bundles together a 2,200mAh battery and Nomad 3.5 solar panel. The manufacturer says that the 8-watt dynamite-shaped battery can be tanked up via sunlight in six hours, although this time can be reduced to four if you use a USB power source before you head into the wilderness. Interchangeable tips, which will be sold separately in the coming months, will allow compatibility with a variety of devices and also let you use the battery pack as a fan or flashlight -- no cranking or pedaling required

Sparrow Uncuff Links

Seemingly targeted at dapper globe-trotting spies, or wealthy perpetrators of corporate crimes, these stylish Sparrow Uncuff Links feature a handcuff key secretly incorporated into their design. Except that it's not so secret. How long is it really going to take for super-villain henchmen or law enforcement to recognize that distinctive telling keyhole logo on the cufflinks? Not very.

Still pretty cool to have in a pinch and it's for the more sophisticated criminal. Not for everyday use. Gotta have it....
