Pill-sized video camera helps doctors diagnose disorders

Since 2001 when PillCam™ Capsule Endoscopy received certification for use, millions of patients worldwide have experienced its benefits. By employing this unique, painless technological device, physicians can clearly visualize a patient’s gastrointestinal (GI) tract by use of a small, vitamin-size, swallowed capsule with a disposable video endoscope (camera). By transmitting its images, doctors can monitor and diagnose disorders of the esophagus, stomach and colon without sedation or invasive endoscopic procedures.

PillCam™ was invented in 1998 by Israeli Dr. Gabi Iddan. At that time he and a colleague, Dr. Gavriel Meron, established Given Imaging Ltd. with corporate headquarters, laboratory and manufacturing facilities in Yokneam, Israel. The launch of PillCam™ technology revolutionized GI diagnostics by creating the entirely new medical diagnostic category of “capsule endoscopy.” PillCam™ became the gold standard for intestinal imagining.

In 2013 the company was purchased for $860 million by Covidien PLC, an Irish-headquartered global health care products company and manufacturer of medical devices and supplies. Covidien PLC was itself purchased in 2015 by Medtronic PLC, another Irish company, a global leader in medical technology and services.

Advanced solar cell ends need to charge or change batteries

Manufacturers of low-power wireless devices and their customers have felt displeased by the need to regularly charge them or replace their batteries. An Israeli company, 3GSolar Ltd. in Jerusalem, has developed a method of generating power from indirect, indoor lighting using an advanced form of dye solar cell (DSC) technology. DSC is similar to a battery or supercapacitor but performs like the natural process of photosynthesis by converting any light to electricity.

When manufacturers integrate 3GSolar cells into their wireless devices, it eliminates the need for charging or changing batteries. It therefore offers maintenance-free operation for the lifetime of devices such as wireless mice and keyboards, watches, small surveillance cameras, medical implements and more.

3GSolar was founded in 2003 by Dr. Jonathan Goldstein, who serves as company president and chief scientist. Dr. Goldstein is a world expert and consultant in the areas of batteries, fuel cells, electroplating materials and energy conversion. He has been awarded 38 U.S. patents and has published over 30 scientific papers.

Baby breathing monitor saves infants’ lives

Babysense is a non-touch, no-radiation, highly-sensitive baby-breathing monitor designed to detect respiratory cessation (apnea) in babies. Its purpose is to prevent sudden infant death syndrome (commonly known as SIDS and Crib or Cot Death). SIDS is a major cause of death among normally healthy babies up to one year of age. In the United States and Europe alone, the average death toll reaches 5,600 infants annually.

The device was invented in 1991 by Haim Shtalryd, founder and CEO of Hi sense Ltd. of Le Zion, Israel, and is distributed globally by Babysense USA.

Babysense monitors a baby’s breathing and movements continuously through the mattress during sleep. It has an audio and visual alarm, which is activated if the baby stops breathing for more than 20 seconds or if his or her breathing rate slows to fewer than 10 breaths per minute. The alarms give caregivers crucial time to intervene. Babysense monitors are used in hospitals and private homes and have helped protect more than 600,000 infants worldwide from SIDS.

In its short history the state of Israel has become one of the world’s greatest scientific and technological innovators. What are some of its achievements, inventions and innovations that are making a significant difference in global society?

What do you most often hear in the news regarding the Jewish state of Israel? Isn’t it typically about violence, contention, controversy and terrorism? But beyond the headlines, how much have you heard about the many amazing accomplishments and innovations that citizens of this tiny yet remarkable country have made in today’s world?

Israel is a free, democratic and technologically advanced nation, and its citizens enjoy political, social and economic freedom and opportunity to learn, grow and prosper. Israeli society is highly developed in terms of education, life expectancy, per capita income and other advancement indicators. For example, Israel was ranked 19th out of 188 countries evaluated on the 2016 Human Development Index of the United Nations Human Development Report (placing it just outside the top 10 percent). In comparison, the United States ranked 10th and the United Kingdom 16th.

Also, of the 138 nations assessed on the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report for 2016-2017, Israel ranked 24th. The report’s subcategories showed Israel had phenomenal strength in innovation (ranked 2nd), venture capital availability (2nd) quality of research institutions (3rd), company spending on research and development (3rd), and university-industry research and development (R&) collaboration (3rd).

Since 1966, 12 distinguished citizens of Israel have been awarded Nobel Prizes in the fields of chemistry, economics, literature and peace. And consider this remarkable statistic concerning the wider Jewish population around the globe, which makes up less than 0.2 percent of the world’s inhabitants: Out of the 892 Nobel Prizes awarded over more than a century, from 1901 through last year, 201 (or 22.5 percent) were awarded to Jews!

Now, in considering contributions from Israeli citizens to the world, let’s examine a small fraction of the many inventions and innovations they have generated over recent years and how those achievements have made significant differences around the globe.

Stay tuned

Interesting question @Op

But here is it...

Even when you brainless Atheists see Christ descending from heaven either on a white horse or without a white horse, you Atheists will still be like.. "how comes is Christ trekking Down from heaven, is there no private jet in heaven to bring him down?"

God who uses books to store records in heaven is also omniscient. Op if you were smart enough your question should have been "Why does an omniscient God needs books to keep records in heaven?" in the first place.

However the case may be we shall all have our question and answer moment eventually when we crossover from this life. Never say Never.

Shalom Aleikhem!

This have been refuted in another thread na..

Jesus is Lord over Muhammed case closed!

0temSapien:
says you... Your opinion is subjective though. I wish the light of God Almighty that is Yahweh open your eyes to the truth someday

0temSapien:
I understand that you mean well for me, but for your limitation in knowledge, you don't know my position in the godhood of EXISTENCE(GOD) so you are trying to bless me in the name of an inferior god. Hmm...
May my grace and enlightenment translate to you someday to free you from the untruth of religion in Otem's name, ASE!

0temSapien:
I can't teleport to you. The time when teleportation on sarth willb bcom a reality on earth is the future and it will be a scientific invention, not a spiritual invention.

Delusion of grandeur

0temSapien:
Yahweh and Allah currently have no grace, since they are held captive in their spiritual cages at the moment. Therefore i reject the gracelessness of these prisoners.

Really let me double it then

May YHWH's raham( mercy) and khane(grace) continue to extend and rabah(multiply) to you ? Stay blessed!

0temSapien:
I am the evidence. How do we meet so I can show myself to you?

BY The way, d link i put up there reveals everything I got during my numerous afterlife journeys.

So you can't even teleport to where I am presently to show yourself to me in this mundane world

0temSapien:
Both Yahweh and Allah don't have the means to help any human being. They died on our earth and were in their various afterlives, currently they are in their spiritual prisons. So it amazes me how humans expect prisoners to help them.

May YHWH's raham( mercy) and khane(grace) continue to extend to you? Stay blessed!

0temSapien:
It's like asking for evidence that a dreamer had a dream. Anyways, I brought a lot of stuffs from my journey to different religious afterlives. Check the Doctufos of truth below>>>>

I ask again, show me some supernal evidence? And not NL thread

@OP, how do you know that no Christian is practising this commandment?

0temSapien:
Christian's heaven is boring. I've once been there

Evidence

Jozzy4:
Same faith await everything thrown into lake of fire, cease to exist

Yea!

Insightful!

superhumanist:
Yes. Jews in Europe woke up one day and decided to eradicate Muslims living in Palestine and take their land.

Clap for yourself!

Yes! it will cease to exist, because it won't be relevant in the new heaven and earth

May YHWH provide all your need according to his riches in glory.

Auki:
Muslim respect Jesus much more than Jewish. Israel hates and make mockery of Jesus.

Those that are killed by Israel are either Christian or Muslim. But many Christian are so dumb.

How dumb!

superhumanist:
muslims did not exist in the bible.

Also, isreal commits genocide daily with the killings of palestinians

So what you are trying to tell us now is that Israel wake up daily just to go and kill Palestinians without any provocation? As a game or what?

It is now so obvious that if eventually the whole world wakes up on a blessed morning and discovers that the entire Jewish nations are dead and no more mysteriously. The arab(muslim nations) will throw a resounding party instead of sympathising for loss of human lives.

The hatred for these people by Muslims is immeasurable. And they don't just hate them but try to instigate others to hate and antagonise these people (Israelis)as well. Smh!

Numerical miracles? For real? @Op tell me you are joking..

I can get this numerical miracles from Ababio or modern biology text books na.

Try something else pls you sound ridiculously stupid (no offence)!

sambaki:
So I present a challenge to you and everyone on this forum
Whoever is lying about the divinity of jesus and the prophecy of muhammad then let the curse of the almighty God fall upon such persons


Is that fair?

The curse of the almighty God is already upon you in form of islam

DeSepiero:
If God could allow a 'great liar' to deceive his new creations in the beginning and ruin the paradise, and not punish this liar up till now, then he could also allow a great liar to impersonate him with Koran.

Gbam!

@Abdulgafar22

The problem with you Muslims is always trying to define what God can do and what he can not do. Is that how little you conceive the almighty God in your hearts?

Muhammed impersonating with quran is not a new thing. Jesus said "many will come in my name take heed..." "he also said there are many false prophets already in the world". we are to test all spirit that comes our way to know which is from God and truth, in which your prophet failed the test. Stop trying too hard to make credible what is known to be false.

Xiadnat:
Hehe....Slaying..... life that is. *coughs... good slay, not a slay mama ooo. Don't start nothing....

You?

Aha! I knew it *slayest mama

Have been around and about, job and business things!

NL seems cold these days

So this thread has finally been turned to a board room of irrelevant banter?

Lirqur:
Even Yahweh himself cursed Israel. Allah cursed the people of Israel, because they sinned against him by worshipping other gods. The Israelis you see Today, are not the true Israel.

Stop it! You muslims claims can be very bogus and outrageous. First you claimed Jesus was a muslim, he did not die on the cross, he is not the son of God, the bible is corrupt, the present Gospel is not the true Gospel and now those living in Israel are not the true Israelite

When will you stop stealing people's original identity and condemning it to be fake? Hun?

proudkafir:
Muslim denial strategy: condemn their own hadith that exposes the criminal and irrational behavior of their prophet. The hadith I posted has everything to do on why no rational person, without coercion, should embrace Islam. You can't make a man with a shady character a prophet.

Read your own hadith and study the biography of Mohammed, sira rasool allahh, by ibn hisham and ibn ishaq.

Don't mind them, they will be swift to call even their hadith and quranic verses not authentic or original when they want to propagate their lies in the name of religion. Al taqiyyah of the highest order.

iamgenius:
I hope you don't forget Mathew 7:22. Get one thing clear about Islam, Islamic is not a religion of business. We don't invite others to Islam because of miracles or to guarantee them of this world materials as Christians do.

Many people become Christians daily, and Christians also become Muslims too. Changing of people from one religion to the other doesn't guarantee they are on the way of God. You'll be an hypocrite if you claimed there's no supposed miracle in traditional religion too as it's in Christianity , except you haven't seen one.

Forget about traditional religions. Why is your Islam so redundant when it comes to miracles and prophecies?

abdelrahman:
im not saying Jew worship wall na

Great then that settles your worshipping of kaaba
