Diabetes Jewelry
Diabetes jewelry is a neckpiece and rings for administering insulin through the skin via a nano-engineered patch. The Diabetes Neckpiece is a wearable applicator device to apply Nanotechnology Victoria’s NanoMAPs to the skin. NanoMAPs are small (10 x 2mm) circular discs which have an array of micro needles on their surface. They allow for pain-free delivery of insulin to the body, replacing syringes. The Diabetes rings are designed to keep the nano-engineered insulin patches against the skin once they have been applied.

This N6 vehicle concept by Matteo Gentile has a shape of a banana. This vehicle can carry only one person at a time so you can call this as your personal vehicle. The steering of the vehicle is made of cushion like substances giving a good rest to your arms. At the center part of the vehicle you will notice a black patch giving it a good combination of two colors and making it more stylish. The wheels (both front and rear) are made of tubeless tires supported by a steel frame.
On the other hand the vehicle is not placed at a height from the wheels so you can expect you base of the vehicle being scratched at slopes, speed breakers or on rough patches. A sloppy front view of the vehicle makes it eye catching for the youth and it is a good PV (personal vehicle). It looks like a heavy vehicle and is at a good height (not from the tires) so its good to see a footer that enables you to get down or to get on the vehicle easily.
