   Treon Verdery to All   
   Stressed or sprained ankle preventative    
   14 Aug 22 01:47:45   
   
   From: treon3verdery@gmail.com   
      
   most shoes i have seen in 2020AD were constructed in a way where they could   
   easily last longer and weigh 29-51 grams less per shoe, that suggests each   
   shoe has the ability to host 29-51 grams of technology at the same or better   
   comfort level as 2020    
   shoes. A laser or Thz emitter, connected to optical fiber at the shoes could   
   make a stress showing interference pattern on the foot, ankle, and calf   
   surface (thz sees through socks and pants) possibly extending all the way to   
   the hips. the computer at    
   the shoes would either use program logic or a neural network to spot when the   
   person, from their motion was more than 1% likely to mistorque, twist, or   
   sprain an ankle or mistorque a joint. Masses at the shoes, or atop the sock   
   would then rapidly move to    
   make the computer modelled version of foot and leg motion exist in the   
   nonspraining, nonmistorqueing range. The suddenly moved 29-51 gram mass at the   
   shoe/foot area precludes harm. Now with F=MA the shoe mass will be moving very   
   fast to compensate a    
   mistorque, one possibility is linear railgun acceleration of mass, powered by   
   an ultracapacitor, another possibility is changing the contour of the shoe   
   bottom in less than 1/100-1000th of a second, instantly making say a  negative   
   heel earth shoe(™),    
   a taller heel, or even a puffed out crescent shape on the shoe base so the   
   mistorqued foot, ankle, joints,  when the shoe does meet the ground meets it   
   at the most mistorque preventing angle and motion. Polymers that puff, get   
   squishier or harder with    
   electricity are published like PMMA and silicone ethanol robot "muscle".   
   Elderly people and athletes would benefit most from these mistorque preventing   
   shoes, and possibly mass driver socks. the technology is mostly already   
   existing, and the shoes could    
   get electricity wirelessly. These shoe-base customizing shoes with computer   
   analysis of leg and foot motion could make a custom shoe base to be   
   preventative of mistorquing in the first place from custom bulges on the shoe   
   outer base. A layer of chemical    
   vapor deposition nanothin amorphous fullerene glass which is 1000 times harder   
   than diamond can be deposited on the outer shoe surfaces   
      
   New user interface for tablets and phones: the tablet or phone recognizes   
   which finger you are using to tap or persist at when using software. Second   
   finger could mean "act like i'm hovering a mouse on this item" or even give an   
   equivalent to a mouse    
   right click with a menu of options that pops up. This gives tablets more   
   desktop PC like options and abilities. This is great for Microsoft Surface™.   
   (Right click does a lot in windows). It is possible touchscreens could already   
   recognize the second    
   finger from fingertip size and shape of contact alone, or it is possible that   
   different fingers differ in capacitance.    
      
   Better phone and wifi antennas with sectors or stripes. Wikipedia says using   
   negative refraction index materials as coatings makes antennas an order of   
   magnitude stronger for the same input energy. And putting a ferrite sheath on   
   a, perhaps receiving,    
   antenna makes it 30%-70% more effective, so the really simple technology here   
   is to alternate negative refraction index metamaterials with actual physical   
   sectors or stripes of ferrite sheath on the antennas of phones and wifi   
   utilizing technologies. At    
   phones this makes it so they radiate an order of magnitude more energy to a   
   base station from the same amount of battery energy, that allows tremendous   
   cost savings to phone companies as they can utilize and support base stations   
   10 times further away,    
   making for say 10 times less base stations to maintain and build. Similarly   
   the metamaterial coating on the base station send antennas produces an order   
   of magnitude greater radiated radio waves, that is then able to reach the   
   phones that are 10 times    
   further away. At wifi and wimax similar order of magnitude greater radiated   
   energy increases then communicate with more (wider radius) IoT (internet of   
   things) with less routers/base stations. Also its likely obvious but putting   
   metamaterial negative    
   refraction index coatings on miniscule IoT antennas gives them an order of   
   magnitude more radius of communication partners, or the same neighborhood of   
   communication partners but using just 1/10th the energy to reach them.   
   Wikipedia says, Through the    
   application of double negative metamaterials (DNG), the power radiated by   
   electrically small dipole antennas can be notably increased. This could be   
   accomplished by surrounding an antenna with a shell of double negative (DNG)   
   material. When the electric    
   dipole is embedded in a homogeneous DNG (negative permittivity and negative   
   medium, the antenna acts inductively rather than capacitively, as it would in   
   free space without the interaction of the DNG material. In addition, the   
   dipole-DNG shell    
   combination increases the real power radiated by more than an order of   
   magnitude over a free space antenna. A notable decrease in the reactance of   
   the dipole antenna corresponds to the increase in radiated power."   
      
   Negative refractive index and metamaterial lenses could be a soft humaniform,   
   or fingernails at humaniform way of doing photon or other microscopy at sizes   
   much smaller than a wavelength of visible light. If a social companion robot   
   or other robot was    
   scanning a human for wellness it could ask for a saliva sample, or a used   
   toothbrush, then apply the saliva sample to its fingernail for likely better   
   than 2018 20 nm or less resolution microscopy, smaller than many bacteria   
      
   Negative refractive index metamaterial Microwave ovens that use 1/4 to 1/10   
   the energy to warm things are likely possible.   
      
   Possible way to get an order of magnitude more force out of diamagnetism or   
   other magnetism: 1) surround the magnet or the diamagnetic bismuth with a   
   negative refraction index material, the idea is that the DNG (negative   
   permeability, negative    
   permittivity) material adjusts the "coupling" or transparency to electrons to   
   make them less aloof, the nonaloof electrons then reshape the magnetic field   
   they make/are surrounded with, that other things like a bismuth chunk or wires   
   at a moving winding (   
   generator rotor, motors) respond to, then respond in new ways with greater   
   alacrity.
