Como Loft by JM Architecture. By Eric • May 17, 2012 • Selected Work Milan-based studio JM Architecture has converted two adjacent units in a former monastery located in Milan, Italy, into an attic duplex apartment. Como Loft by JM Architecture: “When an old monastery located around the city of Como, Italy, was being remodelled and converted into a residential complex, two adjacent units have been connected to form this duplex apartment. The shape of the original units is clearly enhanced by the different pitched ceiling direction as well as by their different heights. The main idea was to keep the shell intact, maintaining the entire length of the unit open and invading the space minimally. The result is the insertion of an enclosed box on one side containing a small bedroom and two bathrooms, which leaves to an open space the main functions of the home.
All perimeter walls and ceilings hide an additional layer of thermal insulation and the bathrooms are equipped with radiant panels in the ceiling.

So fly, race cars or play the perfect round of golf, seriously, what would you choose to dream about if you could? Source. Implanted LED Tattoos May Become The Next Big Trend. While it may seem like tattoos are the norm now, no one has ink like this. A team from the University of Illinois led by John Rogers has devised a method to actually install LED lights under the skin. The research, published today in Nature Materials, saw the team develop flexible arrays 2.5 μm thick and 100 x 100 μm square which are currently smaller than any commercially available array.
In their research, the team printed circuits “directly onto a rigid glass substrate and then transferred them to an inexpensive biocompatible polymer called poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) to create a mesh-like array of LEDs and photodetectors.” In short, the university team has allowed LEDs to be placed under the skin while allowing for stretching and twisting by as much as 75 percent.
As the whole substrate is encased in thin silicon rubber, the ‘LED tattoo’ is also waterproof. . + University of Illinois Via DVICE via PhysOrg Images from PhysOrg and Natural Materials.

Delete iPhone / iPad Backup From iTunes - Jailbreak 5.1.1 Untethered iPhone 4S iPad 2 / 3. 7 Tools to keep your Mac Healthy. For the four years I’ve been using a Mac, I haven’t used a maintenance tool. All I’ve ever done was verify disk permissions, and maybe use Drive Genius to perform some optimisation.
But even that was just something ‘extra’ and not necessary according to me. The real question is, can maintenance tools really help in getting your system speedy, healthy, and less prone to crashes? The answer is a subjective yes. Maintenance A straightforward tool, as can be told by its name, Maintenance is a one window wonder. Ice Clean A much more comprehensive tool, Ice Clean is sort of your eyes into the system. When it comes to maintenance, Ice Clean can run the usual system scripts, disk verification and other forms of cleanup. MainMenu A no fuss application, MainMenu resides as an icon in your menubar. Onyx The big name in Mac maintenance, Onyx allows you to run a whole lot of maintenance scripts, along with cleanups of internet, fonts, logs, etc.
MacPilot TinkerTool Cocktail Verdict. One Small Keyboard for Logitech, One Giant Leap for iPad Productivity - Lauren Goode - Product Reviews. With my column this week, I did something I’ve never done before: I typed the entire thing on my iPad. That’s because I’ve been testing Logitech’s new Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad, which has changed the way I feel about productivity on the iPad. You see, I’m not a huge fan of touchscreen keyboards. Many other consumers share this sentiment, as much as they might love their tablets. Hardware makers have addressed this by offering a variety of accessory keyboard options.
They range from Bluetooth-enabled wireless keyboards to tablet cases with built-in keyboards, like the $70 Belkin YourType Folio, and plastic overlays that create tactile keys on top of the iPad’s touchscreen. Companies have even tried experimenting with laser-projected keyboards — though those still won’t give you keys you can actually feel. But some of these solutions are bulky, or add too much extra weight to the iPad. The Ultrathin Keyboard Case is 9.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Next, I tested the keyboard. Electronic Ink: LED Tattoos Implanted by Silk. Sources: Wired, H+, MIT Technology Review A demonstration from Philips Electronics showing the possibilities of implanted LED “tattoos.” Pretty kinky, but there are already practical applications being considered. The Illustrated Man. Tattoos have mostly been static graphics, limited in their usefulness in communication certain info.
I initially reported on the silk implantation in the forums, while Kenryouku_One gets props for the follow up on how the tech is being used to implant the LEDs. A silky entry. By building thin, flexible silicon electronics on silk substrates, researchers have made electronics that almost completely dissolve inside the body. Silk has been used before and is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for medical use. Tramp stamp one second, instructions the next. It’s written all over your face… and the back of your wrist. Professor Litt’s laboratory is a collaboration between Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuroscience, and Engineering. Better still… Implantable Silicon-Silk electronics could mean LED tattoos. A clear silk film, about one centimeter squared, with six silicon transistors on its surface about to be implanted into a mouse (Photo: Rogers/Omenetto) Tattooing dates back to at least Neolithic times and has experienced a resurgence in popularity in many parts of the world in recent years.
Advancements in tattoo pigments and the refinement of tattooing equipment has seen an improvement in the quality of tattoos being produced. Today it’s possible to get ink that glows under UV light, but a new technology could see tattoos that emit their own light. Researchers have been able to build thin, flexible silicon electronics on silk substrates that almost completely dissolve inside the body, paving the way for embedded LED tattoos that offer much more than just aesthetic appeal.
The devices are made of a thin film of silk on which silicon transistors about one millimeter long and 250 nanometers thick are placed. Silk is already approved for medical implants by the U.S. Via Technology Review.
