So you might not have the healing factor of Wolverine, but this does not mean that you should continue to writhe in pain the next time you suffer an injury from your endeavors in sport or while you are at work. Well, the $199.95 Wide Coverage LED Pain Reliever is something that relies on technology developed by NASA in order to heal astronauts’ injuries, where it lives up to its name since it can cover a wide 3.5″-diameter area with the help of 72 LEDs in order to produce safe infrared heat. That is not the only thing that it does, however, as it is also capable of stimulating blood circulation, relieving swelling in joints, and loosening tight muscles.

In fact, in a study at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, it depicted the LED technology was successful in reducing painful inflammation by up to 37%. It is different from heating pads which only treat injuries that are located just below the skin’s surface, as the LED light will be able to penetrate deep into tissue for lasting relief from muscle aches. The device itself can be placed on the skin or 0.25″ above the skin, where it begins to relieve pain in as few as three treatments. Sporting a brush-shaped design that is lightweight, it is obviously easy to move around the body and hold in place.

German companies are well known for their precision engineering as well as sheer build quality, and ROCCAT Studios certainly are not playing the fool by their presence at Computex 2013 which has ended this week. Using that showcase event in Taiwan to deliver news of major product releases, Roccat intends to roll out an optical version of the multi-award-winning Kone Pure gaming mouse, calling it the Kone Pure Optical Core Performance Gaming Mouse this time around. That is certainly a mouthful when you think about it, and it does make me wish that ROCCAT could revert to something that is a whole lot simpler. Apart from that gaming mouse update, ROCCAT also demonstrated the eagerly-anticipated Ryos MK Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard With Per-key Illumination, allowing the masses to enjoy the full capabilities of the keyboard’s unique, configurable lighting system.

Not only that, there will also be the release candidate for the acclaimed Power-Grid smartphone app which will be unveiled. This particular app has been undergoing closed beta testing since early April. ROCCAT also intends to make a mark for itself in the Mac OS gaming environment, and the first step that they would take would be to introduce a driver for the popular Kone XTD mouse so that it can be used in Mac OS environments. This would enable the growing number of people who enjoy games on the Mac OS platform to be able to experience the full spectrum of ROCCAT innovations including Easy-Shift[+], ROCCAT Talk and a bunch of other customization possibilities.

Additional amounts of patience will eventually see Mac OS driver software rolling out for additional ROCCAT peripherals on an incremental basis. Well, with all the innovations that ROCCAT had announced, which are the ones that you are most interested in, and would like to grab hold of, pronto?

Whenever you are on a bicycle, do not expect all the other motorists and road users to be able to see you and have a telepathic link with where you are heading. In fact, it is always better to err on the side of caution, and that includes wearing the right kind of clothes, making sure that your lights and reflector strips are in good working order, the whole works. Well, when you need to make a turn on a busy road, most cyclists would just extend their hand and wave after making sure that there are no motorcycles that are about to overtake them (and in the process, avoid a nasty collision), but here is a gadget that not only ensures you have greater control over your bicycle as you signal your intent to turn, but it is also a whole lot more noticeable – especially when you are cycling in pitch dark conditions. I am referring to the £12.95 IGGI Signal Pod.

This is a wireless indication system which would enable the cyclist to focus on the road fully, as well as the environment around them as they turn and signal. The POD will be able to transmit the signal from the control unit all the way to the rear of the cycle, as long as the batteries last, of course. It is a snap to set up, while the extra-bright LED display ensures that everyone sober should be able to see you indicate left and right clearly. Not only that, you also have another hazard light option at your disposal.

Ah, lighting solutions in the home could prove to be something that you might want to look into if home improvement is your hobby. After all, the usual array of bulbs and lamps won’t make the cut these days if you want to stand out from the rest, so it makes perfect sense if you want something else that is unconventional, such as the $19.99 Tuggit Pullbulb. Yes sir, by the name itself, you can more or less figure out the direction of where the Tuggit Pullbulb is going.

The Tuggit Pullbulb is a battery-powered LED lightbulb (now that ought to get those pesky Greenpeace activists off your back for siding with the environment) which has been attached to a 4-foot long nylon rope. Turning it on and off is as simple as giving it a tug. Should it be on, tug it to switch it off, and vice versa. Yes, it is that easy, and I don’t suppose there is a need for a user manual to figure everything else out. Thing is, you ought to make sure that your home has at least a trio of spare AAA batteries lying around at all times to power it just in case the current batch of batteries run out of juice. It would be best to rely on rechargeables if you want to go the whole nine yards.

Have you watched the Fast and the Furious 6? So far, initial reviews and feelers on the movie have proved to be massive, and while the show continues to defy the laws of physics and gravity, it has managed to retain one characteristic – it is a franchise that has its timeline all screwed up, and yet is capable of drawing in the viewers never mind that they want to hear Vin Diesel do his mumbling act. Well, you might be wondering just what you can do in order to spruce up your ride’s capabilities on the road, and apart from making sure that it is well serviced all the time, how about throwing in a fair bit of electronics to get the ball rolling?
