Top 10 Amazing Technologies In World [1] Oceansphere :
Honolulu-based aquaculture company Hawaii Oceanic Technology recently received a Canadian patent for its open ocean farming system and the company is expecting to receive more from the European Union, Japan and Australia.
Called the Oceansphere, the fishing system is an automated positioning and submersible open ocean platform that can grow yellow fin tuna and other pelagic species in an efficient and sustainable manner. Currently, farmed fish provides half of all seafood consumed in the world. However, according to the United Nations Food Agriculture Organization (FAO), by 2030 an additional 62 million metric tons of seafood needs to be produced annually to meet the growing demand without depleting wild ocean stocks.
For Hawaii Oceanic Technology, the solution is in Oceansphere. Bill Spencer, the firm’s chief executive officer told Eco-Business, “The Oceansphere is designed to be environmentally responsible and economically sustainable.” It utilises proven off-the-shelf technologies that are well suited for large-scale deep ocean fish farming, which can satisfy future demands.
“The idea is to move fish farming off-land, away from industrialised near shore waters, bays and estuaries, out into the deep ocean, where it is a desert-like environment,” said Spencer. There, the farming system will be isolated and submerged so it will not be affected by surface activities like high winds or typhoons.
The Oceansphere is what the FAO deems as an aquaculture type of high technology closed system. It is a spherical cage with an exoskeleton made of neutrally buoyant materials with netting that is stronger than Kevlar. There is an automated buoy on the topside and this can hold 100 tons of fish feed that will automatically dispense to the fish contained inside the Oceansphere.
Spencer explained that employing this system, though not tethered to the ocean floor, enables natural processes to occur. This is better for the fish and it results in low food conversion rations, better health and faster growth.
However, the company founded in 2006 has yet to deploy an Oceansphere. Spencer detailed that they have been obtaining permits for the past seven years.
So far, the company has patents in the United States and the Philippines, aside from Canada.
In the US, they are still waiting on one final federal permit after a four-year process, said the CEO.
Hawaii Oceanic Technology does have a state permit in Hawaii, where they have a one-square-kilometre lease site off of the Kohala Coast, but not without receiving concerns and opposition from some members of the community.
Their permit allows them to deploy 12 Oceanspheres. These can produce 6,000 tons of yellow fin tuna per year. Spencer said, “More than 21,000 acres [or nearly 85,000 square metres] of land and mass quantities of fresh water would be needed to produce the same amount of beef protein … By farming protein in the vastness of the open ocean, we can be much more efficient than land-based protein production, use no land or fresh water and reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional fishing methods, not to mention reducing impact on wild fish populations that are already severely stressed.”
The company emphasises, though, that their goal is not only to be a tuna farm, but also to license and sell their Oceansphere technology around the world. This is why they are eagerly waiting their patent grants. Spencer revealed, “The addressable market for open ocean mariculture technology is estimated to be US$75 billion.”
“The purpose of a patent is to show the world a better way to do something,” he said. “Imagine if China and the Philippines focused on farming seafood rather than fighting over hunting for seafood, imagine how this could stabilise an otherwise volatile region of the world.”
[2] Samsung Galaxy X Foldable Smartphone :
Flip phones ruled the mobile world until smartphones took over with their touchscreen slabs. However, we might soon be folding our phones in half again – if Samsung has its way.
Foldable smartphones are coming, and as with the curved screens of the Galaxy Note Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge, Now Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S8 Edge Samsung appears to be leading the charge. For a couple years now, the company has been sharing concepts of foldable and rollable smartphones, and now a flurry of patent applications and rumours suggest the first models are coming very soon.
Samsung intends to make fully functional smartphones with flexible displays that allow you to fold the phone shut and tuck it in your pocket – and maybe even phones that open up to reveal a full-sized tablet screen within, or touchscreen devices that roll out of a tube.
Sound crazy? Maybe. Seem expensive? Undoubtedly. Is it exciting? Absolutely. Here's everything we know about the so-called Galaxy X Smartphones so far.
[3] Surgeon Plants First Human Head Transplant
A neurosurgeon planning to carry out the first human head transplant has revealed the daring operation could happen in the UK.
Sergio Canavero wants to carry out the operation next year and believes it could lead to people paralysed from the neck down being able to walk again.
The surgeon said the UK is the 'most promising place' in Europe to conduct the procedure, after a virtual reality system that will prepare patients for life in their new body was unveiled in Glasgow last week.
The choice of the UK is, in part, because of the huge amount of support that he has received from people in the country, Dr Canavero said.
It follows the unveiling of virtual reality system that will 'prepare patients for life in a new body'.
Speaking at the event in Glasgow, Professor Sergio Canavero said: 'so many countries are willing to follow me outside of Europe or the US.
'I'm now trying to bring this to the west and I will try my best to make this happen here in the UK.
'It is time for you here in Britain to start discussing all the ethical implications and if you are willing to see this happen here,' he added, 'because if the UK says no then it will be somewhere else.'
Russian wheelchair user Valery Spiridonov has volunteered to take part in the first operation, which would see his head 'frozen' to stop brain cells from dying and tubes connected to support key arteries and veins.
The spinal cord would then be cut, repaired and fused on to a donor body and the skin stitched back together.
'We are combining the latest advancements in virtual reality to develop the world's first protocol for preparing the patient for bodily freedom after the transplantation procedure.'
Prospective patient Mr Spiridonov said: 'Virtual reality simulations are extremely important as this kind of system allows [us] to get involved into action and learn fast and efficiently.
'As a computer scientist I am extremely certain that it is an essential technology for the Heaven project.'
Dr Canavero, director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, showcased the latest 'milestone' during a conference at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.
He said: 'This virtual reality system prepares the patient in the best possible way for a new world that he will be facing with his new body.
'A world in which he will be able to walk again.'
The procedure for cutting the spinal cord is said to be so delicate, with the need to avoid nerves, that a knife that can control cuts to a micrometre (one millionth of a metre) has been developed by Farid Amirouche at the University of Illinois.
[4] Volvo's Self Driveing Car :
Volvo is looking for drivers who commute into west London to take part in its self-driving cars trial, the largest conducted by the the automobile industry.
The Swedish carmaker said it was aiming to make operating self-driving cars as easy as using a smartphone.
The Drive Me trial in London will initially see engineers behind the wheel of Volvo’s self-driving XC90 in coming weeks, with the carmaker planning to start selling the vehicle in 2020/21. The 4x4 cars have already taken to public roads in test in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Speaking before a conference on insuring autonomous cars in London on Thursday, Anders Eugensson of Volvo told the Guardian: “They [the engineers] will not read the newspaper; they will sit there ready to grab the wheel. We need to work on it [the technology] more before we can hand the cars to the public.”
Volvo is also using databases of car crashes going back decades to run a variety of simulations to make the cars safer. It will then start recruiting up to 100 commuters for the London trial to try out its semi-autonomous vehicles from the summer of 2018.
Eugensson said Volvo was looking for professionals of different age groups – people who regularly commute to or from west London via the M40, M4, M25 or A4.
“We focus on people who are normally frustrated when they drive to work in the morning. We really want people who say: ‘I think it’s going to be useful for me to be able to use this time.’”
The cars will drive themselves on motorways and dual carriageways, giving commuters a chance to “take the laptop and prepare for your meeting that morning, read the newspaper or update your Facebook”, Eugensson added. However, drivers will take over as soon as they get into London, with the vehicle signalling well before that the driver needs to take control.
[5] Ultra Ever-Dry : The Ultra-Ever Dry is a super-hydrophobic (water) and oleo-phobic (hydrocarbons) coating that will completely repel almost any liquid. Ultra-Ever Dry uses proprietary nanotechnology to coat an object and create a barrier of air on its surface. This barrier repels water, refined oil, wet concrete, and other liquids unlike any other coating.
Ultra-Ever Dry has vastly improved adhesion and abrasion resistance, compared to previous technologies, allowing it to be used in applications where durability is required. Self-Cleaning The Ultra-Ever Dry repels dirty water and thick oils, and remains clean and virtually bacteria-free.

[6] Sweep : Sweep is a small, lightweight and low-cost laser scanner. It spins a laser range finder to form a 360 degree view of the world, up to 10 times per second. What makes Sweep different is who it’s designed for. Until now, sensors like Sweep were too expensive to be used in cost sensitive products, relegating them to research, industrial, or military applications. With Sweep, we aim to bring the awesome accomplishments of the last two decades of LiDAR research out of the lab and into consumer products!
Sweep is the culmination of years of development work, and like so many inventions, it came as a bi-product of wanting to make something else. We started off developing outdoor consumer robots for the home. We wanted to make a smart product that could navigate through typical yard environments, avoiding obstacles and keeping track of its charging station location. We didn’t like the hassle of other solutions, like buried guide wires, and knew a better way would be to have the robot form a map of the environment. We quickly realized to do any kind of mapping we would need a scanning LiDAR (or something similar) that works outdoors. It was then we discovered that there were no affordable LiDAR sensors on the market that met the requirements.
We designed Sweep to be very small and light! It fits right in the palm of your hand and weighs a tad less than most smart phones today. Sweep is also really quiet, something you may have never thought about until you’ve used one that makes annoying sounds as it spins. You won’t be hearing this scanner.
After more than a dozen iterations, we arrived at our current production ready design. We’ve discovered that the key innovation with Sweep will be its ability to perform much of the required data filtering internally. Most LiDAR sensors output a tremendous amount of data, which is great for applications where power and cost are not an issue, but cumbersome for consumer applications. For example, aerial vehicles may only want to know where the closest obstacles are. Sweep is equipped with several sensing modes designed to make interfacing with lower power controllers possible.
The Sweep is a great fit for high school robotics. It is easy to setup and use, robust, and is at an incredible price point. Students can quickly explore mapping and navigation problems with little prior experience. Best yet, the Sweep is virtually student-proof – it can survive a high school lab environment.”
Companies like Dispatch Robotics want a sensor to help guide their delivery robot through city streets. Others want to use it to navigate through grocery isles and office spaces. They are all excited about how Sweep can cut down the parts cost of their products by thousands of dollars.
" At Dispatch, we are very excited by Sweep. LiDAR is a very powerful sensing modality and low-cost LiDAR will have significant impact as we develop and grow our autonomous vehicle fleet.”
[7] Robot Chef :
After a long, drawn out day in the office, it’s not always easy to motivate yourself to cook a proper meal when you get home. Instead of reaching for the saucepan, many opt for the quicker and easier option of take-out or ready meals, many of which are not exactly healthy or particularly nutritious. But what if you could have a handy robotic assistant in the kitchen, ready to whip you up a gourmet meal whenever you so desire? That’s the dream of Moley Robotics, a London-based company that has developed a prototype “robochef” designed for the home.
According to Moley’s website, the firm hopes to bring a consumer version to market by 2017 that will feature several additions, including a library of thousands of recipes, a dishwasher and a refrigerator. This means you not only won’t have to cook or prep for yourself if you can’t be bothered, but you don’t even need to wash up afterward. Marvelous. You will even be able to control it remotely using an app, which means you could order your dish to be ready for when you get home.
Eventually, Moley hopes to produce a version complete with cameras so that users can teach it to create their own dishes, which can then be uploaded to a digital recipe library and shared with other people. They also want later models to be capable of dealing with tricky things like stopping mixing at the appropriate time to prevent splitting or over-beating.

[9] Cicret Bracelet:
Wearable technology branded the 'Cicret bracelet' claims to project your smartphone directly onto your forearm.
On 30 October 2014, the YouTube account Cicret App & Bracelet published a video titled “The Cicret Bracelet: Like a tablet … but on your skin.” The video’s description outlined Cicret’s functionality thusly:
With the Cicret Bracelet, you can make your skin your new touchscreen. Read your mails, play your favorite games, answer your calls, check the weather, find your way … Do whatever you want on your arm
he Cicret App and Bracelet was lauded by tech bloggers as the next stage of smartphone connectivity, and videos and articles about it were widely shared on social media sites. But if your first impression was the device looked like something out of science fiction, you weren’t entirely wrong. A number of skeptical users had some pointed questions about the Cicret claims, and among the more logical queries (such as how the device might work for people with dark skin or abundant arm hair) was a far more central mystery: does the Cicret bracelet actually exist?
Viewers of the video were quick to notice the device as shown appeared to have been cobbled together from recognizable existing products. Some observed extant advances don’t allow for such capabilities to be contained within a device as small as the one depicted, and others noted the projection quality seemed remarkably high.
As it turned out, the Cicret bracelet did not actually exist, and no working prototype of it had yet produced. In a 5 December 2014 report from Washington television station WTOP, Cicret co-creator Guillaume Pommier reluctantly confirmed the impressive video produced was a mockup not representative of any functional prototype device:“The video we put online is an illustration of what our Cicret Bracelet could allow users to do,” says Pommier.
The site contains a brief “About Us” description of the principals, with no descriptions of their previous projects. The website site lists no street address or phone number for the company — only a Gmail address.
Asked about the lack of information on the company’s website, Pommier has an answer: “To be honest it’s because 3 members of 4 on our team are actually working for another company. Obviously we don’t want to be fired because of this second professional activity!”
Pommier says he and three partners are trying to raise money on their own, through PayPal instead of standard crowdfunding vehicles such as Kickstarter.
“We need someone who’d put up some money to allow us to finish a prototype,” says Pommier.
[10] CawaRobot Smart Suitcase: COWAROBOT R1 is made to roll beside you, as a robotic piece of luggage that moves around obstacles, has a smart lock, and is your fully autonomous way to travel.
Has Skynet invented this R1 unit, or has COWAROBOT?
They claim this robot doubles as a 20-inch suitcase that allows you to be hands-free while walking up to 4.5 miles per hour.
It is made to be a carry-on that will follow you around, avoid obstacles, and even provide a Lo-jack-like system for tracking so that your bag can never be lost.
Now I know what you are thinking: as the flurries of panicked airport patrons angrily emerge for their fifth boarding call announcement before being told there is another delay, your COWAROBOT R1 unit can easily be grabbed in the carnage.
Within seconds a piece of luggage can be pilfered and thousands of hours of music and thousands of dollars of tech (MacBook Retina anyone) can be stolen away by the equivalent of a horse thief in modern day New Mexico.
But wait!
They are foiled by the smart lock that can only be unlatched via the R1 bracelet, which doubles as a keyless remote, or a smartphone which will loudly alert you to the theft and the location.
I love the fact that this has a separate front compartment on the hard protected suit case for electronics like laptops to protect them but also make them easily retrievable for the walks through airport security.
R1 can be turned off, and made manual, if you want.
The small sensor wheel lifts from the bottom of the case, so you can pull R1 along yourself as you rush to the departing plane with that last minute sandwich in tow (this writer knows that pace from experience and it is far beyond 4.5 miles per hour that the R1 runs at).
