Herman Miller wants to make it easier for private telephone conversations to remain private.
A device called Babble is the office furniture company's first foray into high-tech electronics reports AP. The wireless box duplicates and disassembles a user's voice before broadcasting it through a series of speakers to make phone conversations unintelligible to passers-by.

"It essentially turns one person's voice into something that sounds like a small-group conversation,'' said Bill DeKruif, president of Sonare Technologies, Herman Miller's research and design arm in Chicago.

Datexx Sentina smart LED light

Datexx Sentina smart LED light

Datexx's Sentina is a high performance LED light. Sentina works plugged into any outlet and functions as a photo-electric, dark-activated night light. At dusk when the light is dim, it triggers the unit's front light on for area illumination. It turns off by itself when there is enough light.

Sentina's top spot light (top) is activated when it senses motions within 12 ft. It gradually phases in to 200 lux of white LED light that shines against the wall. It works best in your home theater environment that gives you enough light but not to the extent of taking away your big screen performance.

Taking Sentina with you is easy. Just unplug from the socket and it will go around detecting the need to turn itself on or off. When mobile, the battery life lasts up to 10 hours. Thus, it makes a terrific emergency light. No ordinary flashlight even comes close! Sentina is perfect for dark hallways, near stairs, or in bathrooms to protect and aid those late night travelers.
