The Preamble

Having  just spoiled the other half to a film I regret having to see “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” (don’t get me wrong I am a HP/JKR fan!).  The film was a severe disappointment.

How to stop this from happening to your web site.

Your visitors should always get two things;

1. what they expect
2. ease of use and navigation

If your web site has what is called ‘mystery meat’ navigation you will lose up to 95% of the visitors who will bounce off the site within the first 26seconds.

To find out more on how to improve your visitor numbers call Hilary on 0843351636.

My Advice about the film, wait until it comes out on video. Then your expectations will be met and you wont be quiite so disappointed.

Intelligent clothing [you] will soon encounter in everyday life: the sports shirt, which the carrier says, as he must[perfect],[the]  self-cleaning   jacket, the glove with which you can make phone calls. Even thinking baby give it Strampler.

The tennis coach of the future is soft and elastic. After training [fold] it together and simply throw [it] into the sports bag. At home [it goes] into the washing machine because it is a simple sport shirt. What makes it are very special sensors in the tissue. These cover the body of the athlete every muscle activity and with the same optimal movements. Together with a large mobile mini-computer and wireless ear plugs, this T-shirt to the patient, the coach of the World. Too bad for a hundred balls, he is not to “arm completely through. Whole arm through, “says the voice in my ear.

Developed as a sports shirt by researchers at the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in the project ConText. They are working on intelligent clothing. This includes a vest, we will warn if the stress in everyday life becomes too [much]. “The measurement function similar to the ECG,” says Torsten Linz of the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic integration.

Instead of the heart rhythm ‘to measure the muscle activity. The role of the wires on silver threads in the fabric of the vest . Thus, textiles to high-tech products.

The yarn, the power forward

Technology and material to link, is in vogue. Electricity conductive yarns and fibers against germs and bacteria, tissue, which makes heating jackets, clothes, thanks to nanotechnology cleans itself.

With coatings, additives and processing the materials can adopt a variety of properties.

At the very forefront of research institutes from Ostthüringen: Among the most important developments in the Textile Research Institute Thuringia-Vogtland (TITV) in Greiz is a yarn, the power forward. It is sold under the name Elitex distributed to researchers and has this year, the Thuringian Research Award introduced. The researchers made the electroplating and capitalize hochleitfähiges produced yarn. “This is practically a silver nylon,” says Institute Director Uwe Möhring.

This development makes it possible for textiles shine, heat or cool tissues. Greizer have also developed a glove [ you can use a mobile phone controller and hand set with speaker]. Wireless connects it with the phone. If a call[ comes in], it vibrates on your wrist. About an integrated speaker and microphone is a small phone. The product has now reached the production stage and is supported by an American company [and will be] distributed [soon, Motorola maybe?].  Read more...
