Google Patents Tearable Display Technology and Other Future Tech

we’ve got a lot of future tech lined up for today. Let’s get started.

Tearable Display Technology
If you’re ever in a situation when a friend is showing you a
video on his tablet and you wanted to watch it as well, wouldn’t it be amazing
if you could tear away a part of his tablet and keep on viewing the same video?
Google’s new patent might be the answer.
Google has patented a type of technology that allows “methods,
systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage
media, for presenting content on tearable displays.” Reading from their patent
introduction, the company envisions a device with a tearable display in which a
user first tears off part of a device and can view content on the portion that
is torn off. It works as the device senses a tear through a broken circuit
along magnetic fasteners, combined with a strain sensor to detect separation of
the tear.
Although the patent is detailed, Google has yet to be
awarded the patent application for this type of technology. It is a futuristic
technology, nonetheless.
New Antibodies Make
Monkeys HIV-Free for 6 Months
Globally, almost 36.9 million people are infected with HIV,
yet, try to continue living their lives normally. But, this might change with
new medical research surfacing every day. In a remarkable breakthrough,
researchers have created antibodies that allows monkeys to be HIV-proof for 6
months.
After lab-purification of 4 different types of antibodies
produced naturally by humans, the researchers injected macaque monkeys with the
low doses and were surprised by the results. They found that some monkeys
remained HIV-proof for as long as 6 months.
“This study is the first one to show that a single
administration of these monoclonal antibodies can prevent infection, prevent
disease, and might be a viable alternative for a vaccine against HIV. That’s a
new finding,” says Malcolm Martin, Researcher at the US National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Director of the Viral Pathogenesis and
Vaccine Section, who co-authored the study.
EHang’s Flying Drone
to be Used for Organ Delivery
EHang, the Chinese company that built the first autonomous
flying drone that can carry humans over 16km at a speed of 100kmph, has
partnered with Lung Biotechnology PBC to use 1,000 of their UAVs (unmanned
aerial vehicles) to automate the organ transplant delivery system in line with
the Manufactured Organ Transport Helicopter (MOTH) system.
“The well-known locations of transplant hospitals and future
organ manufacturing facilities makes the EHang technology ideal for
Highway-In-The-Sky and Low-Level IFR Route programs. We anticipate delivering
hundreds of organs a day, which means that the MOTH system will help save not
only tens of thousands of lives, but also many millions of gallons of aviation
transport gasoline annually,” says Martine Rothblatt, Chairman and CEO of Lung
Biotechnology.
