Contactless Thermometer
I'm sure this is something that will strike close to home for a lot of you with a bad history with thermometers. A Japanese company called EJK (Ebara Jitsugyo Co.) is going to release what you see here, a contactless thermometer. While I can't get any more info other than the manufacturer and what it does from the source page and official site, I'm thinking it's a combination laser and thermal sensor in one. Man, I could have used this about 15 years ago when I would break thermometers every other week. Playing with mercury is fun, though.
