Synaptics this week introduced its first Clear ID FS9500 in-display optical sensor that can be installed under the surface of an OLED screen. The fingerprint reader works faster than facial recognition and can be used in any environments, including dark rooms and sunny beaches, Synaptics says. The first smartphones featuring the technology are due in Q1 2018. Biometric authentication has become a mandated feature of every smartphone in the recent years, but integrating fingerprint sensor has become a challenge as screen-to-body ratio is growing and many front panels have no space for the reader.

It’s time for you to meet Effie – a new domestic appliance that will help you spend more time living and less time getting ready for work.  Using a heat, steam and an internal pressing machine, it irons your clothes for you. Simply hang your clothes up straight from the washing machine, click go (or operate it directly from your smartphone!), and look sharp. It’s as simple as that. Effie can take up to 12 items at once. Simply hang all of your garments up on the exposed rail, and after clicking go, sit back as each item is treated one by one. Don’t split your loads, don’t separate your colours, just take them straight from the washing machine and let them be dried and ironed. The garments are treated with a patent pending pressing system that contacts your clothes to remove the wrinkles. It uses a perfect combination of h
