neat! a mirror that checks your vital signs

When your heart beats, it sends a pulse of blood through your blood vessels. Blood absorbs light, so when more of it travels through the vessels, less of the light hitting your skin is reflected. A webcam can pick up those small fluctuations in reflected light, Poh says, and a computer program can translate that data into a heart-rate reading.

How It Works: Medical Mirror: The webcam in a monitor behind the two-way mirror captures the changes in the light reflected off the subject’s face when the heart beats. The computer translates the light data into a heart rate reading. Blanddesigns.co.uk

slow-mo x-ray video of a dog drinking

 

While dogs do pick up a certain amount of water by curling the undersides of their tongues, most of that ends up back in the bowl (or elsewhere). Rather, the flattened tongue barely nicks the surface of the water before snapping back, and when it does so it manages to pull a column of liquid into the air behind it--a column that the canine can then bite down on almost as it would a solid. It actually takes three or four laps for the dog to work the water along its tongue and the roof of its mouth and into the throat. Which might explain why it seems like that last lap always ends up all over the floor.
