Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By /

If you care about energy efficiency, saving money, the environment or just plain have a drafty house, then take a look at this handheld gadget. The B&D Thermal Leak Detector uses infrared sensors to measure surface temperatures to show you where there are temp differences and hence leaks.

The TLD100 is easy to use: just set the tolerance level, point it at the area you want to check and read the LCD display.

Just imagine saving 20% on your heating and cooling bills and having a nice toasty/cool home. The TLD100 also comes with a booklet that describes how to plug leaks.

#CES09: FLIR introduces Pedestrian Detection into auto Night Vision product

Automotive, CES / By /

FLIR Systems showed off the latest version of their thermal imaging system for automobiles that now includes Pedestrian Detection.

First off all, the thermal imaging camera displays a clearer image at night than a human’s native vision can provide. Known as Night Vision and currently available in a select few BMW models, the image is shown in the vehicle’s in-dash monitor (which also duals as the info center).

The new addition to the system is Pedestrian Detection which if detects a heat source in the shape of a human, alerts the driver. Cool. Definitely something that needs to get embedded in all vehicles. Currently, the pricing is a bit too much ($2600 luxury add-on for some BMWs).

FLIR is working with another German vendor as well as a Japanese automaker for 2010 releases.
