During CES 2024, we got to take a look at the latest version of the Skyted mask, which is a sound-absorbing mask that allows users to make completely silent and confidential calls anywhere at any time. The mask has been developed to solve the problem of people talking loudly in public places, such as trains and airplanes, and disturbing those around them.Silent, secure mask for confidential callsThe mask features resonators developed by The French Aerospace Lab that absorb all frequencies of the user's voice, preventing any sound from escaping the mask.The purpose of the mask goes beyond simply preventing disturbance to others. It also addresses concerns about espionage and the need for secure and confidential calls. All data and voice emitted from the mask are encrypted, ensuring that no information is leaked. The encryption process starts from the microphone and continues through third-party carriers, providing a high level of security.The mask not only provides a solution for confidential calls but also en

Supraways is an eight-year-old startup based in Lyon, France, that is revolutionizing urban transit with autonomous cars. The company has developed a system of autonomous cars that can carry up to seven passengers and are suspended on beams along highways and airports. This system aims to address the issue of traffic congestion and provide a more efficient and on-demand mode of transportation.Revolutionizing urban transit with autonomous carsThe autonomous cars developed by Supraways are not only automated but also equipped with embedded electronic and robotic systems. One of their key innovations is an embedded switch system, which allows the cars to move left and right while the beams remain passive. This eliminates the need for maintenance on the beams, making the system more cost-effective and efficient.Supraways envisions a network of interconnected loops, where all the stations are offline, similar to a highway system. This means that passengers can travel from one point to another without any stops, re

Nearly every industry uses machinery. The success of those machines is crucial to the functioning of the business in that industry. For example, everything that is mass-produced has a failure rate. Machines that are used for any period could fail. Being able to test machinery to ensure proper behavior is essential. EXANODIA is automating the process of testing machines to prevent future issues.EXANODIA's testing automationAI software has revolutionized various industries, and one area where it has made significant advancements is in industrial inspection. Houcine Mansour, Founder and CEO of EXANODIA, discusses how AI software developed by the company, the first French pure player in non-destructive testing, is improving the process of detecting defects in mechanical equipment.In the medical field, medical imaging is used to detect pathologies in the human body. Similarly, in industries such as nuclear power plants, oil and gas refineries, and aerospace, it is crucial to inspect equipment for defects. This is

In modern society, one of the few constants is stress. Whether it's a big presentation at work, a growing family, financial concerns, or even a business trip to Las Vegas for CES, stressors are everywhere. Our bodies respond to this stress in a few ways, including by releasing certain hormones into the body. Being able to measure and track these hormones can help you track and properly respond to the stressors we live through every day. Nutrix AG has a sensor to do just that.What is Nutrix AG?Maria Hahn, CEO & Founder of Nutrix AG, introduces a revolutionary technology in the field of healthcare - cortisol monitoring using artificial intelligence (AI). She explains the game-changing nature of their Swiss cortisol monitoring sensor and its integration with their digital health platform.Cortisol is a stress hormone, and the sensor developed by Nutrix AG allows individuals to monitor their cortisol levels easily and conveniently. The process involves placing a small saliva sample on the sensor, which is then

Self-defense has remained fairly unchanged for a long time, regardless of the advancements in other industries. For personal protection, there are a small number of non-lethal protections, but few of them are as effective as Mace. The problem is that standard pepper spray is only an in-the-moment solution - for now. That is where Triple4s comes in.About Triple4sMatt Rogien, the founder of Triple4s, introduced a groundbreaking innovation in the self-defense industry - connected pepper spray. This high-tech device, powered and manufactured by Mace, aims to revolutionize the way individuals protect themselves and notify others in emergency situations.The inspiration behind this innovative product came from Matt Rogien's personal experiences. With family members who frequently faced dangerous situations while commuting in South Side Chicago, Rogien wanted a way to ensure their safety and provide immediate assistance when needed.

To end CES 2023, the Tech Podcasts Network hosts sat down to discuss their experiences. From exciting products that we want to buy for ourselves to trends across the industry, we covered a lot of ground in a very small amount of time.Technology costs are decreasingTechnology costs are decreasing at a rapid rate, and this is especially true when it comes to technology used in the broadcasting industry. Just a few years ago, broadcasters needed to purchase expensive equipment and insure it for up to $75,000. Now, however, much of the equipment needed to broadcast can fit into a single Pelican case, and the cost of the entire studio is much less than a single component used to be.The team discussed how the organization used to need to ship 24 boxes of equipment to the show floor to broadcast, but now they only need to bring two roller bags, one suitcase, and a Pelican case. This is a drastic decrease in the amount of equipment needed to broadcast, and the cost of the equipment is much lower as well. The LED ligh

Technology has come a long way in recent years, allowing us to access information that was once only available to the privileged few. Now, with the help of Irides, a company founded by Brian Schell, anyone can access live outdoor web cameras for a mere $10 a year.Access live cameras for $10/yearIrides has taken the task of collecting and organizing all of the freely available live outdoor web cameras, from traffic cameras to resort cameras, and put them into one single database in one format. This makes it easier and more efficient for people to access the information they need. Furthermore, the data can be used for a variety of machine learning applications.For example, Irides has developed an algorithm that can detect whether snow is sticking to a road or not. This can be used to create a route planning feature that takes into account traffic sensors as well as snow and ice on the roads. The company is also exploring the possibility of using the data to track wildfire smoke.Irides has compiled a database of

The world of technology is ever-evolving, and with it comes new and innovative ways to stay secure. LapLok is a revolutionary new product that provides physical laptop security for the work-from-anywhere world. Developed by TechLock Solutions, LapLok is the world's first retrofitting physical laptop security device.Security for the new business worldSince the beginning of 2020, the world has changed a lot. One of the biggest changes has come about in the way we work. Some jobs require that you be in person - it's hard to ring up groceries from home, for example. For many other industries, however, working from home has become the normal situation. In fact, many companies have given up their offices entirely or scaled them back significantly.When you don't have to be in a particular place to work, it means you can work from nearly anywhere. Many people have begun traveling during the week - working during the day and exploring at night. This means finding a place to work during the day, though. This can be at
