Armatix Smart System Offers Smartwatch Controlled Handgun

A smartwatch controlled handgun could be the future of gun safety. Armatix has introduced Armatix Smart System concept, unlike conventional handguns which are no longer a safe weapon from the moment you remove it from your safe or any other security system, this smart pistol’s security extends to a critical step beyond that point.


This smart system consists of a radio-controlled watch and a pistol. The main idea is to let the watch responsible for gun access and use, that means, you can only shoot the pistol if it’s within range of the watch. You can easily remove the safety mechanism through the radio-controlled watch using a special PIN code, in this way, as soon as the gun loses its contact with the watch, it automatically deactivates itself, so no one can use it except you (of course you need to wear the watch).

It is highly possible we’re going to see this smart handgun system being produced since Armatix is currently in advanced licensing negotiations with several gun manufacturers. In the mean time, Armatix has also developed the prototype of iP1 pistol (.22 LR caliber) and the iW1 active RFID watch, it’s been tested successfully, so yeah, there’s a good chance this technology is incorporated into existing handguns.


Aside from controlling the use of the gun, it also counts how many shots have been fired and when, it records when was the last time this gun is secured or released, and other information, because the watch and the gun communicate with each other in real-time. It can also be connected to your computer for complete tracking and monitoring. This looks like a great concept, however, at the end of the day, we are still not pro-gun nor anti-gun, we are anti killing people with guns.

Foot Latch Design for Public Restroom Stall Doors – No Hands Needed

Foot Latch is a foot operated door latch designed for public restroom stalls. It is a replacement for traditional door latches that reduces the risk of spreading germs and contagious diseases by allowing people to avoid coming in contact with contaminated door latches in public restrooms.


Infectious diseases and viruses, such as Influenza, are transferred from one person to another in many different ways. The main causes for the spread of viruses include coming in contact with infected people and contaminated surfaces. This contact can happen either by touching an infected person, or indirect by touching a contaminated surface. Restrooms in public places, such as airports, train stations, hospitals and restaurants, pose the highest risk for the indirect spread of disease and viruses. To reduce the risk, most of today’s public restrooms are equipped with automatic touch free equipment, such as water fixtures, hand dryers and towel dispensers. The one area that has not been addressed with touch free technology is the restroom stall door latch. Entry and exit from a public restroom stall still involves contact with potentially contaminated door latches.

The challenge was to propose a suitable solution for public restroom stall doors that enables users, at any age and gender, to lock and unlock the stall door without touching it with their hands. The product should be user-friendly, inexpensive, simple to produce, easy to install, durable and resistant to potential vandalism.


To develop a successful design, the final solution had to consider all needs of the target user and the feasibility of its production in order to satisfy the manufacturer. To fulfill this aim, products with similar functions had to be analyzed in terms of demand, design, materials and production methods. A variety of mockups were tested.


Foot Latch is simple in function, cost-effective in production and easy to install, which makes it affordable for customers. With almost zero competition in this market category, it will create a great opportunity for manufacturer investment.
