NOW UV CAN STAND FOR ULTRA VIGILANT
New in
the MaxMax line-up of goodies that push the envelope on the visual spectrum: A combined
long-wave ultraviolet light & magnifier ($25) is a very cool gizmo for
double-checking the security attributes of important documents like a driver’s
license or passport. It’s also good for checking stamps or currency for
threads or otherwise invisible watermarks. The official agencies that create
these things incorporate elements (sometimes miniscule) that glow under
ultraviolet light as a counterfeiting countermeasure. All of that just makes it
easy for you to do a story; dial Dan for details. Contact: Dan Llewellyn,

INVISIBLE LABELS DON’T LABEL
YOU A DORK Back in
childhood summer camp excursions, did the other kids call you a dork because
your mom put your name on your underpants? Putting your name on things that are
yours isn’t a bad practice, though being obvious about it isn’t always the
way to go. So in another plunge into making the invisible work for you, MaxMax
offers a 3-piece UB marking kit ($35) that includes a UV penlight & 2
markers that are normally invisible but that appear, respectively, blue
(familiar) or red (pretty rare) under UV light. While you can use these for your
underpants, we’re guessing that these days they might be even more appropriate
for marking currency or expensive goods whenever there’s a suspicion of them
leaving in the wrong hands. (For those of you in TV news, it’s a very cool
tool for your investigative teams, too). Ask Dan. Contact: Dan Llewellyn,

NOW CHEMICAL IR LIGHT STICKS IN TWO SIZES
You’ve
seen the long plastic tubes with the vial inside that you break then shake to
get a bright glow; Cyalume (mentioned here only for historical background)
established itself decades ago with bright green & now provides blue, red,
orange, yellow & other colors. MaxMax took this chemical approach to light
outside the visible spectrum to create its own infrared light sticks, which
invisibly light up dark places in ways that IR-sensitive or night vision gear
can see. They’re now available in 2 lengths: a 1.5” model that provides
light for up to 3 hours (60 cents) & a 6” model good for up to 8 hours
($1.50). Among the many applications: people who work a plant’s night shift
& run into trouble in the company parking lot can light one up to alert the
security cameras & get help in a way the bad guys can’t detect. Ask Dan. Contact:

NOW 30-30 HEAT VISION TAKES REMOTE TEMPERATURES FOR $30
New from
MaxMax, the 30-30 Heat Vision non-contact temperature measuring gun ($30) takes
about half a second to digitally display the temperature of a target up to
100’ away. There’s a built-in laser pointer for aiming & a target cone
that’s tighter than 30 degrees; the readout is on a backlit LCD & the
whole thing is powered by a 9V battery; it reads temperatures from 0-400F (-20
to 200C). Yes, you can use it to spot heat leaks at home. It’s shipping &
reviewable now; ask Dan. Contact: Dan Llewellyn, LDP LLC (Carlstadt NJ)

WON’T POWER WILL POWER NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
We told
you weeks ago about Won’t Power (http://wont-power.com),
the small aromatic ($15) that can defer hunger pangs 10-20 minutes. The news now
is that it’s out of prototype & into production with a few improvements in
packaging. The biggest change is a plastic inner cap with pepper-shaker-like
holes; it both moderates the amount of aroma you’re likely to inhale &
helps seal the outer screw cap to prevent the aroma from leaking when its tiny
vial jar isn’t open. Dan would be delighted to have you try it; just ask. Contact:

Http://MaxMax.com 01c $20 CARD SHOWS IF IR REMOTES STILL SHINE DC-IRSPG IR Snooper Card
Did you
ever stare at the IR emitter on one of your remote controls to figure out
whether or not it’s still working? Changing the batteries doesn’t always get
things going again, but is the problem in the remote control or is there
something more expensive afoot in the gear you want to control with it? Now
MaxMax has an IR Snooper card ($20) that visibly indicates when an IR beam is
present. People with problem remotes are only one application; security system
or industrial automation installers, for example, can carry this in a pocket
& use it to confirm that their IR beams are present. You’ll probably find
other ways, too, to have fun reviewing it. Ask Dan. Contact: Dan
