DRONE
Researchers develop drone that disperses Wi-Fi signals. n the present scenario, drones have become an integral part of rescue operations the world over. In addition to approachability, communication infrastructure forms basis of successful rescue operations; dissemination of information to all people on the scene can assist in rescue operations. To enhance on accessibility guaranteed by drones, two professors at the University of North Texas have developed a drone which disperses Wi-Fi signals. The drone is basically being developed to provide Wi-Fi connectivity and improve communication for victims and first responders at the disaster scene.
GOOGLE GLASS
Even here in the Bay Area, you’re likely to get a series of double-takes when you walk around wearing Google Glass. The heavily-publicized backlash against Glass-wearers seems to be a part of a bigger pushback against the takeover of tech.Glass is, simply put, a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses, and it’s the device that will make augmented reality part of our daily lives. With the half-inch (1.3 cm) display, which comes into focus when you look up and to the right, users will be able to take and share photos, video-chat, check appointments and access maps and the Web. Consumers should be able to buy Google Glass by 2014.

CYBORG BEETLE
Advances in microelectronics is making yesterday's science fiction into tomorrow's future inventions. Scientists at the University of California have implanted beetles with miniaturized electronics that allows the insects to be controlled. Research presented at a conference in Italy demonstrated a new technology for creating "cyborg insects". The flying beetles receive wireless signals from a mobile transmitter that controls the insect. Varying impulses trigger an appropriate response from the beetle so that it flies according to it's handler. The insect can be made to take-off, land, hover, or follow a given flight path. Previous research concentrated on moths but giant flower beetles were easier to operate and could carry larger payloads because of their size. Further advances with nanobots and miniaturization will allow heat sensors and cameras to be embedded into the bugs. The insect could then be used for surveillance or search and rescue missions
