Good to the Last Drop

Are you one of those people who always want to get the last drop out of a container? I know I am, whether it is the toothpaste tube, dish soap bottle, or jelly jar. To meet this customer requirement, manufacturers are modifying their packaging to enable customers to get the last drop, and other companies are providing tools that enable customers to get the last drop out of packages, such as the Squeeze Ease sold at the Container Store. See the Wall Street Journal article for more details.

Monitoring a Driver's Performance

Automobile manufacturers are integrating a variety of sensing devices into vehicles that monitor a driver's performance, with the intention of increasing driver safety. These includes sensors that measure brain waves, sweat, heart rate, sleepiness, heart rate, glucose levels, breathing, alcohol level, and so on on. Based on what these sensors detect, a vehicle could respond to enhance safety, such as turning off a radio, blocking a cell phone call, or some other actions.
