The Parking Alert guides you with flashing lights as you pull into your garage so you can be sure you stop at the desired place. The Sensor sends out harmless ultrasonic pulses that are bounced off objects in front of it.
When a vehicle is detected, more pulses are sent out to determine vehicle speed and distance. Then the Display Module’s yellow light begins flashing slowly. The yellow light flashes faster as it tracks the vehicle. When you have reached the desired stopping point, the Display Module will change to a constant red light.

Princeton University researchers discovered a method to steal encrypted information stored on computer hard disks. And is not that complicated ccording to them but certainly can be for us.
The secret is in freezing of DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) chip. This is done to exploit the little-known vulnerability of the DRAM chip.
The innovation is that these chips hold data and when the computer’s electrical power is turn off, the data must or should disappear. Interesting is that the chips actually retain their data for seconds or even minutes after power is cut off. So, if the chips are frozen then the data gets frozen, too and that reveals the key with long string of vulnerable binary data. Great news, don’t you think?

Bluetooth headsets are used to do one thing : made you look like a bit of a fool! Very funny, I know! 
The BIZZ bluetooth headset works as a rather swish looking headset with up to 6 hours talk time and weighs in at a tiny 10 grams. When you remove the speaker cover though, the device is suddenly a flash USB key which uses a Micro SD card or an SDHC card to store up to 8GB of data. When your battery dies you don’t need to search around for your bulky charger, because you can plug the device itself straight into your computer and charge it. Very interesting this 3 in 1 product, don’t you think?
