Digital Stethoscope

Tight, now doctors can give patients a recording of their heartbeating sounds saved to an ipod!
Capturing heart and lung sounds is the most critical aspect of stethoscope design. Acquire the sound accurately, and anything is possible. The patented Electromagnetic Diaphragm (EmD) is unique to a Thinklabs stethoscope, and is the key to audio quality.
Having captured an accurate signal, electronic signal transmission right to the eartips ensures crisp clear sound. A simple experiment with your conventional stethoscope shows you why you need End-to-End Electronics - unique to Thinklabs design.
The leap from no-technology to high-technology has to be achieved while making the device easier to use, and to make patient examination a more productive and more rewarding experience.
Homemade HACK - Digital Count Down - Kitchen Timer
Here’s a cool little digital count down hack using PIC, keypad, and some parts. Although there’s no

DIY - Build a digital thermometer in 1 minute!

Okay, it seems like the only class I really enjoyed in college was the embedded computer class. All the other circuit classes and computer language classes bore the hell out of me because they was no actual physical result.
With embedded computers, you actually physically get to see stuff and that’s what I liked about it.
Well I started w/ the Motorola MC68 series microcontrollers and it took me almost a week to make a digital thermometer. I had to make everything from scratch. It was still interesting because I made something physical and it worked!
Anyways, now I am glad I can do the same thing except it only takes me 1 minute!
