LAS VEGAS, NV, May 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Contour, Inc is a market leader in wearable video technology, introducing innovative new features such as integrated GPS tracking and bluetooth connectivity to smartphone devices. Contour have just announced the release of their latest product, the Contour+ camera. The Contour+ builds on the popular Contour GPS model with added connectivity and refined features and has been designed with the broadcast and pro-sumer market in mind.
Contour cameras are renowned for their ease of use thanks to the large sliding start/stop switch on top of the camera and their unique rotating front lens. As with other Contour cameras, the Contour+ records on to microSD cards and runs on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. The new features in the Contour+ will allows users to:
Expand Field of Vision
A new six-element glass lens delivers full 1080p HD video with field of view increased to 170 degrees for improved clarity and smoother action videos. Fully automatic settings can be used as well as adjustable white balance, sharpness and exposure settings for shooting in tough lighting conditions.
Deliver Live Action
Users can stream live HD video via the new HDMI output. Playback to a TV direct from the camera will also be possible with a firmware upgrade due in Q2 2011.
Use Industry Leading Connectivity
The Contour+ can connect to smartphones via Bluetooth, creating a wireless viewfinder for the camera. Camera settings can also be adjusted via the Bluetooth connection.
Capture Crisp Audio
Audio can be recorded using either the onboard microphone or an external microphone with the new 2.5mm microphone jack.
Track Location, Speed and Elevation
The Contour+ has an inbuilt GPS receiver that records location, speed and elevation. Using the Contour Storyteller application users can watch their videos and GPS data on a map and graph overlay to add extra depth to their point of view videos.
Benefit From Other Upgrades
Contour have refined certain features on the Contour+, such as making the front lens cover flush mounted to minimize debris build up and increasing the range of rotation of the front lens to allow the camera to be used upside down.
Price and Availability
In Australia the Contour+ will be available for AU$699.
In Canada the Contour+ will be available for CA$499.
In USA the Contour+ will be available for US$499.

Yale scientists discover new method for engineering human tissue regeneration
2011-05-13
If pending clinical trials prove successful, a new discovery published in The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org) could represent a major scientific leap toward human tissue regeneration and engineering. In a research report appearing online, Yale scientists provide evidence to support a major paradigm shift in this specialty area from the idea that cells added to a graft before implantation are the building blocks of tissue, to a new belief that engineered tissue constructs can actually induce or augment the body's own reparative mechanisms, including complex tissue ...
Cats pass disease to wildlife, even in remote areas
2011-05-13
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Researchers tracking the spread of Toxoplasma gondii – a parasite that reproduces only in cats but sickens and kills many other animals – have found infected wildlife throughout a 1,500-acre (600-hectare) natural area in central Illinois.
The researchers also found dozens of free-ranging cats in the area, the Robert Allerton Park, near Monticello, Ill. Two years of tracking, trapping and motion-triggered night photography at eight sites in the park found no evidence of bobcats, but plenty of examples of feral or abandoned house cats, many of them infected ...

CU method projected to meet DOE cost targets for solar thermal hydrogen fuel production
2011-05-13
A report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy has concluded that a novel University of Colorado Boulder method of producing hydrogen fuel from sunlight is the only approach among eight competing technologies that is projected to meet future cost targets set by the federal agency.
The process, which is being developed by Professor Alan Weimer's research team of CU-Boulder's chemical and biological engineering department, involves an array of mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays and create temperatures as high as 2,640 degrees Fahrenheit. The process consists ...
Disruption of nerve cell supply chain may contribute to Parkinson's
2011-05-13
New data offer hints to why Parkinson's disease so selectively harms brain cells that produce the chemical dopamine, say researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Dopamine is involved in brain cell communications including the signals that control movement. As Parkinson's kills the dopamine-producing cells, patients begin to develop tremors, problems moving and other symptoms.
The new research shows that a drug known to damage dopamine-producing nerve cells and mimic Parkinson's disease does so by rapidly damaging cellular energy generators ...

Photosynthesis or photovoltaics: Weighing the impact
2011-05-13
Which is more efficient at harvesting the sun's energy, plants or solar cells? This salient question and an answer are the subject of an article published in the May 13 issue of the journal Science.
Although both photosynthesis and photovoltaics harvest energy from the sun, they operate in distinctly different ways producing different fuels. It is not a simple task to find common ground between the two in order to compare energy conversion efficiency.
"In order to make meaningful comparisons between photosynthesis (which provides stored chemical potential) and photovoltaic ...
