Honda developed the Bodyweight Support Assist device to help support bodyweight to reduce the load on the user’s legs while walking, going up and down stairs and in a semi-crouching position, such as these associates demonstrate in Honda’s Saitama Factory in Japan.
Some of you may recall our piece on Honda’s Body Support Assist prototype last year. As a quick update to that story, those of you in the New York area will get a chance to see it in person as a part of the “Why Design Now?” exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution.
Honda’s unique device lightens the load on the user’s legs and helps maintain a center of gravity via special mechanisms developed by the company. Walking, crouching, climbing stairs - all become easier with help from Body Support Assist. Needless to say, there are plenty of use cases for such a product, not the least of which would be helping people afflicted with mobility issues or leg problems. Honda has a promo video (included below) demonstrating how the device is worn and operated.
The exhibition will feature a variety of innovations and designs intended to have a positive impact on our world, spanning the fields of engineering, energy, and conservation to name a few. If you can’t make it to New York in person, stay tuned to Cooper Hewitt’s YouTube channel for updated videos clips featuring smart design.
‘Why Design Now?’ Event Details:
The show will run from May 14, 2010 to January 9, 2011 at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum on 2 East 91st Street, Manhattan. More information is available via their website, cooperhewitt.org.

REMEMBER :Honda’s prototype walking assist devices to go on show in the US
With increasing numbers of post-war baby boomers beginning to face old age, devices assisting people remain mobile as they grow older will become big business. Honda, which started out making motorcycles, has anticipated the needs of an aging population and invested heavily in mobility robotics research. The company is planning to demonstrate its prototype walking assist devices as part of a technical exhibition at the 2009 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress, at Detroit’s Cobo Center, from April 20 to 23. Prior to the Detroit event, Honda plans to put the devices through their paces for media in New York.

The Less Expensive Alternative To Plasma/LCD Flat Panels
Overview
Although Plasma and LCD flat panel televisions seem to be all the rage these days, with growing numbers of consumers reaching into their pockets to buy the stylish sets, they are still out of reach of most average household budgets. As a result, the rear-projection TV (also referred to as an RPTV), with its lower pricing yet high performance, is taking center stage in the consumer television market. The following article outlines the technology and basic elements of a rear-projection television. Also, on the side bar of this article, there are link resources to related topics, such as HDTV, Widescreen vs Standard screen, and more. (more…)

Introduction
If you are new to the world of digital projectors, you won’t have to shop around the market very long before discovering that “LCD” and “DLP” somehow refers to two different kinds of projectors. You might not even know what LCD and DLP are before asking the obvious question “which one is better?”
