| Savepaste Toothpaste Carton Is Very Sensible Posted: 15 Jul 2011 10:52 AM PDT You know how a regular tube of toothpaste becomes increasingly difficult to squeeze as the contents diminish? See, designer tandem Sang Min Yu and Wong Sang Lee have hit upon a novel idea. Think toothpaste packaging along the lines of a milk carton. The squeeze ease is still there, but in such a container, it’s now more efficient at dispensing the paste.

| Intelligent Bed Makes Intelligent Decisions To Avoid Bed Sores Posted: 15 Jul 2011 10:42 AM PDT By ‘intelligent decisions’ is meant rolling the occupant/patient over to relieve the underlying skin of pressure. Bed sores are a pain in every construable sense of the word. Not only that, but the resulting infection could endanger the patients life and overall well being. When there aren’t enough hospital staff to look after them, Swiss engineer/inventor Michael Sauter thinks the bed itself can do the job.
