manufacturer Molten Corp has gone one step further and made a smart mattress.
The Hiroshima-based company's Leios air mattress has smart technology that knows when you're not in the best resting position. Marketed mainly towards the elderly and the injured, the Leios' "body pressure control" function adjusts the pressure of the air cells within to shift parts of an occupant's body that may not be in an optimal position. This shift prevents strain and reduces bedsores while also promoting better blood circulation throughout, all of which bring relief to those rehabilitating from injuries and the country's ageing population.
The result of collaborative research between Molten Corp and the University of Tokyo, the Leios comes equipped with a combination monitor and controller. The display offers real-time analysis of the body resting on the mattress, highlighting areas most in-need of relief, while the controller can be used to adjust the position of the occupant's body parts accordingly.

Judge allows gender-bias case against Microsoft to proceed

A federal judge has allowed a class-action lawsuit alleging gender discrimination by Microsoft to proceed. US District Judge James Robart of Seattle in an order Friday denied the company's request to dismiss key claims by women in the suit. The Seattle Times reports the judge said three women suing Microsoft were specific enough in their claims. He also said they presented a plausible case that Microsoft's pay and promotion practices had the effect of treating female and male engineers differently. Microsoft says the performance review system was not arbitrary, and has denied the women's allegations of discrimination.The ruling sets into motion what could be months of wrangling over what documents Microsoft and the plaintiffs must turn over and the roster of outside experts both can ask to weigh in.

  The war between Reliance Industries and the telecom operators like Airtel and Vodafone shows no sign of abetting. Although on Friday a meeting was called by TRAI to end the standoff between the two parties -- started after Jio's entry into the Indian market -- it seemed to failed to resolve the issues, particularly after a representative from Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) was kept out it. The COAI representative Rajan Mathews, who has been voicing concerns on behalf of telcos like Airtel and Vodafone over the Reliance demand for flawless interconnection for calls made using Jio SIM card, was kept out of the meet.
