Cette souris est faite pour mesurer le stress!!!!

Des chercheurs japonais ont créé une souris qui permet d'évaluer
le stress, un outil présenté comme utile au travail, lieu stressant par
excellence.

Devant votre ordinateur, au travail, le niveau de stress
peut augmenter très facilement. Une banalité, qui, pourtant, pourrait
nuire à force à votre santé. Pour y remédier et prévenir ce risque, des
chercheurs de la Tokyo Metropolitan University ont réalisé un prototype
de souris capable de mesurer le stress de son utilisateur.
Dans la
souris de l'ordinateur, un capteur d'impulsions mesure le flux sanguin,
un indicateur précieux du stress. Les chercheurs japonais ont trouvé
une corrélation entre la stabilité du rythme cardiaque et le niveau
d'hormones qui permet de déterminer comment l'individu est stressé.
Selon le site Internet Clubic, cet indicateur serait fiable à environ 70%.
En
intégrant ces capteurs innovateurs dans les souris de leurs employés,
les entreprises pourraient mesurer le stress qu'elles imposent et
peut-être améliorer les conditions de travail de leur personnel. Les
chercheurs ont aussi d'autres ambitions avec cette découverte. Ils
comptent développer la technologie pour qu'elle n'ait plus besoin d'un
ordinateur pour fonctionner. Elle pourrait ainsi être utilisée dans
différents secteurs, notamment dans les hôpitaux.

18 Cool Inventions From the Past







Topic: Featured, Funny, Latest Posts, Science
























The time between the wars – the Great War and WW2 was one of great loss and uncertainty, but also one of invention,
creativity and new ideas. The horrors of WWI shattered enlightenment
belief that progress would continue and reason would prevail. New ideas
and patterns of life developed in the 1920′s and in the way that people
looked at the world [1].

The fast pace of technology change in the 20′s brought us the lie detector, traffic signal, bubble gum and Penicillin. An all-electronic moving-image television system somewhat similar to that used today was invented and demonstrated in 1929 [2].

The 30′s were not less invention-intensive bringing us the jet engine, helicopter, tea bags, sticky tape, ballpoint pen and the first photocopier [3].

However, somewhere between these great world-changing inventions there were some fun and sometimes even hilarious inventions the world has forgotten. BoredPanda proudly presents these Cool Inventions From the Past – enjoy, comment and don’t forget to subscribe!
