Here is your monthly dose of my Canadian engineering news created for licensed and aspiring engineers, geoscientists and technicians in Canada. Stay informed and impress your colleagues with your newfound knowledge.
- Engineer Roy Allela has created gloves that convert sign language into speech. The gloves have flex sensors on each finger and they connect to an app that vocalizes the gestures.
- Shoushi Bakarian, an aerospace engineering student, has created her first invention at 21: The Ventus, an accessory charger for airplanes that runs off the plane’s air vents and compressed the air to cool it.
- The Sub is a tiny flashlight less than 1 inch in size. It's made of aerospace-grade aluminum and is fire and water proof.
- PrintBrush is a hand-held paperless smartphone printer. The inkjet printer can print on almost any surface in full colour.
- Alfred is a device that will make travelling easier with real-time audible language translation, image translation, real-time GPS and a wifi hot-spot that covers over 80 countries.
