It also claims to be able to deliver on the accuracy front — which is obviously the key aspect here, and a claim that remains to be tested given this is still a prototype — claiming BAC measurement levels at an accuracy of +/- 0.01% BAC at a BAC of 0.02%.
For now, only one other company, the Florida-based Lighting Science Group, has produced a prototype that claims to meet the contest's stringent performance criteria, and testing is ongoing.
Such devices could prove a boon to cash-strapped consumers, all the while making them easier to dispose of (eg, the computer can be dismantled into parts small enough to post off to recyclers).The team is currently in talks to create an updated prototype, and claims to have recently been approached by some "major and very promising companies" interested in commercialising the idea.
In contrast to existing lower resolution headsets, the startup's prototype already claims "an effective resolution of 50 megapixels per eye".
That means that BigCo could purposely disclose confidential information related to Startup's prototype and then claim ownership rights to the prototype, which might destroy Startup's business before it even gets going.
The company claims its prototype fits onto most taps, can purify about 25,000 litres of water and can kill 99.9% of microbes.
Sony claims the prototype features a maximum output of 3W and says it will be mass-produced for use in mobile devices in the future.
Then a company called First Warning Systems announced a prototype in 2012 that claims to use thermal dynamic measurement - which records differences in body temperature that are then analysed using a predictive algorithm - to find tumours.
Just a few weeks ago, we reported about Japan-based Eamex, which claimed their prototype battery can be charged and discharged over 10,000 times and can be used for about 20 years.
Gordon, however, claims that no prototype was built.
Perhaps that's why virtually no one has rebroadcast the highly relevant prototype for Mr. Wright's fiery claim that 9/11 was America's chickens "coming home to roost".
