In an effort to stave off chemotherapy-induced hair loss, researchers have developed a hat designed to limit blood flow and thus limit drug access to wearers' hair follicles. The way it works is by keeping the cap at a shivery 41 degrees Fahrenheit while a person undergoes treatment, allowing for reduced blood delivery to the area.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday published an Apple patent application for an intuitive mobile device control system that will automatically help to power down certain components during usage, thus maximizing battery life. In its aptly named application, Power management for electronic devices. Apple describes a system that detects a mobile device owner's usage patterns, estimates the required energy needed to run the phone between charges, and dynamically turns hardware off or closes running software to achieve maximum battery life. The invention also brings location data into the mix for enhanced efficiency To help reduce power consumption, Apple proposes a system that can compare the estimated time period a user will spend on their device with battery reserves, determining whether the device has sufficient power to last for said period. If the battery does not have sufficient power, the system will adjust "one or more characteristics" to conserve...

Researchers from the University of California-Berkeley have created a flexible 16×16 pixel screen, dubbed "e-skin," that lights up where it is touched. If more pressure is applied, it glows brighter. The team behind the "e-skin" believe future iterations of the interface could be used for car dashboards, mobile displays, or even "interactive wallpaper."
