Smart toothbrush ISSALEXA

31.03.2018

Foreo has unveiled ISSALEXA, an artificial intelligence toothbrush that can speak and express emotional support to its owner.

The novelty will help save money on a psychologist and become a life mentor.

ISSALEXA not only provides oral care with T-sonic sonic pulsation technology. Its feature is the ability to determine the mood of a person and maintain it with the help of voice phrases during morning or evening brushing of teeth. This was made possible thanks to the innovative development of Foreo - "Emotional artificial intelligence" analyzes a person's saliva and determines his internal state.

Within 5 months, a group of Foreo scientists at their own institute conducted clinical trials with more than 100 patients and found that human saliva studies can determine their physical and emotional health.

Based on the data obtained, the company created ISSALEXA. The novelty is able to analyze the saliva of the owner of the device and, at the slightest deviation from the norm, determines his emotional state. In addition, thanks to artificial intelligence, ISSALEXA speaks and finds the right words of support when needed.

For more personalization, any owner of the novelty can fill out a short questionnaire on the site foreo.com to increase the intelligence of their own ISSALEXA. Also on the site, you can synchronize your calendar with the device so that the toothbrush knows about the owner’s plans and reminds you of brushing your teeth.

“Being first is what keeps us moving forward,” said Paul Peros, CEO of Foreo. “Foreo products are out-of-the-box, and now we are taking it to the next level and applying artificial intelligence and speech technology to brand innovations. not only to create the most effective beauty and health devices, but also to offer our clients extra emotional support when they need it."

ISSALEXA is presented in 4 shades: black and cobalt blue - for men, soft pink and mint - for girls. The cost of ISSALEXA is 300 USD.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Device for contactless identification by fingerprint 16.01.2006

Mitsubishi Electric has released a device called Finger Transmission Authentication Device, designed for fingerprint identification.

The novelty is designed using the company's own development, which provides identification without direct contact with the surface of the finger (it is alleged that the development of Mitsubishi specialists is the world's first device of this kind). The method used in the design is based on taking into account the amount of light passing through the tissues of the finger. As a result, the new scanner can verify the authenticity of a fingerprint no matter how dry or wet the skin is (remember, wet skin makes it difficult for traditional biometric sensors to work).

The device will be available in two versions: DT-TP and OPG-TP. The DT-TP variant is designed for use in devices such as safes or cabinets, since all its components, including the processor and memory, are enclosed in a compact housing.

The OPG-TP variant is focused on use in "gates" when it is necessary to control the exit or entrance from the premises, restrict access to a certain area, at checkpoints, etc. Deliveries of this variant are due to begin on January 4, 2006. The price of the DT-TP has not yet been determined, while the OPG-TP will retail for $4450 and up, depending on system configuration.
