Denny's going to be a model for future smart bikes.

Teague, a renowned design company in Seattle, who designed the Boeing airliner, the Xbox game machine and some famous buildings, has developed a smart bike for any city, Denny.

Denny's intelligence is divided into two points. The first is the car lock, Denny's handlebar is the lock, when you want to be locked, simply remove the handle and lock it on the wheel. The first design team wanted to integrate a complex lock in the car, but later thought of the idea of turning the handlebar into a lock.

Feng Smart Home Card type ECG: I'm not handing out business cards, I'm measuring my heart rate.

One difference between Feng and the common ECG monitor is the appearance and use. Feng will be the traditional ECG, made a smaller than the normal business card size, thickness is only five mm, very portable. When measuring, you just need to hold your finger to the card and it does look a bit like handing in a card.

Feng's founder, Liu Shaozhi, says that the domestic companies that make the card-type ECG are the only ones they have, and their opponents are traditional ECG instruments. However, the traditional medical ECG, the use of more complex, the test results of the general user can not understand, so the advantages of Feng is also obvious. Measurement, only need to hold the card, the measurement of the product screen will directly display heart rate data and ECG, but also will automatically upload data via Bluetooth to the APP and cloud synchronization. In addition to displaying the heart rate data, the user is also told whether it is normal.
