The 911$ Rescue Drone carries patient efficiently & rapidly using less manpower than the current stretcher.

The German iF Design Award is one of the world's most famous and renowned design competitions, which are awarded each year by iF International Forum Design, an independent design agency.

In the 2020 iF Design Award, the 911$ Emergency Rescue Drone design by Professor Jeong Yeon-woo of the Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology won the prize in the professional concept category.

The emergency rescue drone is simply ‘flying stretcher in the sky’. The propeller and the battery pack are connected to the stretcher that the patient can lie down. These stretchers can be lifted up in the air.

This drone allows paramedics to transport emergency patients more comfortably, safely and quickly. In addition, the secondary accident can be prevented because the patient can be loaded directly into the ambulance without leaving the drone.

It is designed based on universal technology that is easy to access and can be distributed at a reasonable price. It is said that the ‘911$ emergency rescue drone’ is named because it can be produced at about US$911.

I want to see emergency rescue drones around in the world.

Dyson's New Patented Technology, Wearable Air Purifier

Today, more than half of the world's population lives in cities. City air is becoming increasingly polluted. According to WHO study, 9 out of 10 people are having contaminated air which is enough to endanger their health. It is estimated that seven million people die each year from air pollution.

As environmental problems persist, so the demand for air cleaners increase. Under these circumstances, the wearable air purifier patent, which Dyson filed in July 2018, was disclosed. Dyson's new challenge, known as a manufacturer of consumer electronics products such as cordless vacuums and hair dryers, surprised people.

The patented technology disclosed this time relates to a headset including an air purifier device. The headset is equipped with a 35-40MM fan on both sides to purify polluted air and then spray clean oxygen to the user. The fan rotates at 12,000 RPM and provides 1.4 liters of oxygen per second.

 The sound quality of the headset, as well as the air purifying, will be a major concern for consumers, and the key to this technology is how to minimize the noise of a spinning fan at high speeds. I'm curious how Dyson will make it harmonious the combination of these two features, headsets and air purifiers.

Bad masks watch

Increase in mask patent application 

According to the KJPO (Korea Intellectual Property Office)'s research, 68 cases of virus-related mask applications in the last five years were nearly doubled, which is compared to 37, the average annual number of applications in the previous five years.

The number of mask-related patent applications also seems to have increased with the influence of MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and yellow dust (which is increasing every year).

Patented mask field that reflects ideas in life

Looking at the trend of patent applicants in the field of masks in Korea over the past 10 years, individual patent applications accounted for the majority with an annual average of 57%.

The Korea Intellectual Property Office analyzes that technology level is not high in the mask field, so it is not difficult for individuals to file the patent. Many people try ideas coming from the daily life as the number of using masks increases with viruses, bacteria and yellow dust.

 Mask that protects my body in various ways

Looking into the patent documents, there are many ideas to protect my body from viruses. Physical methods to control pore size, chemical methods to apply organic and inorganic antimicrobial agents, ultrasonic methods to apply heat rays to electromagnetic fields… etc, there are many efforts that have been made to protect the body from viruses.

 Bad mask watch,

However, in July last year, the Korea Food and Drug Administration jointly inspected the fine dust mask. As a result of the inspection, 1,125 cases were detected, including 437 false and hype advertisements and 680 false indications of patent. As CORONA VIRUS is going around recently, many people wear masks on the street. As demand for masks increased, it seems that it is time for countermeasures against bad masks.
