Artificial Heart......

China, as we all know is a developing country. Recently China has found a way to produce an artificial heart which can be replaced with a heart that isn't working properly. An artificial heart is mechanical device that is implanted into the body to replace the biological heart. The term "artificial hearts" has often inaccurately been used to describe Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs), which are pumps that assist the heart but do not replace it.

An artificial heart is also different from a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB), which is an external device used to provide the functions of both the heart and lungs. CPBs are only used for a few hours at a time, most commonly during heart surgery.

United States, last year also introduced an artificial heart but that is too large to fit properly in Human Body. China made heart is smaller, light weight, easy to control and use.

Eyeglasses at Your Command

A team of scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute of Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) in Dresden, Germany are developing a device that interacts with its wearer. This means that the user will be able to scroll through menus, shift picture elements on the screen, or display new content by performing certain eye movements. According to IPMS representative, the main applications will be for handicapped individuals or industry workers who need their hands free for other tasks. Talk about innovation, literally in the blink of an eye.
