Identifying that a covered wound may becoming infected can be very tricky to diagnose without removal for examination. However scientists at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Modular Solid State Technologies EMFT in Munich have been designing a new type of wound dressing that changes colour to indicate that a wound is becoming infected.
The dressings have a pH indicator dye within their material that reacts to different pH values. Healthy skin and healed wounds would usually show a pH of 5 or below. However is the wounds pH changes from the acid into the alkaline range, it indicates complications in the healing of the wound and the dressing with indicate this with a colour change.
“If the pH value is between 6.5 and 8.5 an infection is frequently present and the indicator color strip turns purple, “ says Dr. Sabine Trupp, a scientist at the EMFT.
The new dressings allow wounds to now be regularly checked from the outside of the dressing without any disruption to the healing process underneath.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab has just gone one sale, we have already seen some reviews of the Galaxy Tab, and now it seems that the next generation Galaxy Tab will feature a Super AMOLED display.
Samsung will be showing off a new 7 inch Super AMOLED display at the FPID International Exhibition in Japan on the 10th of November, and plan to start using it and selling it to tablet manufacturers in the middle of 2011.
This new Samsung Super AMOLED display is a 7 inch WXVGA display with a resolution of 1200 x 600 pixels, so we can expect to see it in the second generation Samsung Galaxy Tab which they will probably launch next year.

I was updating my entry from two years ago for The Greg Kihn Band’s Byrds-like cover version of Bruce Springsteen’s “For You” with a homemade video, which brought up memories of seeing them perform at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, LI back in 1981. “The Breakup Song” finally got him into the Top 40, but his biggest chart topper, “Jeopardy,” was two yearsaway.
Kihn had toured relentlessly behind behind five very solid rock albums before “Jeopardy” become a hit and he put on a hell of a show. Real essence of rock and roll, stripped down, all emotion and sweat.
He’s now the morning DJ at a classic rock station in San Jose, CA, still performing with a band, and even with four horror novels under his belt! And his son’s name is Ry, after Ry Cooder, so there’s more serious cool.
Finally found out what the striking five-sided guitar Kihn is always playing as his trademark: it’s a Vox Phantom XII.
Springsteen returned Kihn the favor by giving him “Rendevous” for the With The Naked Eye album. Kihn loved doing covers, not only on albums, but in concert too. Let me share with you some of those live tunes on video, and you’ll see what you’re missing from a long time ago.
“Rendevous” (Bruce Springsteen)
“Roadrunner” (Jonathan Richman)
“For Your Love” (The Yardbirds)
“Sheila” (Tommy Roe)
“Higher and Higher” (Jackie Wilson)
“Telstar” (The Tornados) (this video from 1978)
