TECHNOLOGY TIDBITS

At first glance, there’s nothing remarkable about SolePower’s latest work boot prototype. The East Liberty-based startup has gone through at least 20 other iterations of the boot, and this one took about six months to create. The footwear looks normal, but after a few steps, rectangular sections in the heels illuminate a bright orange, reminiscent of the lights inside the Fort Pitt Tunnel. That’s when you know they’re charging.

Jeff Bezos’ worlds are coming together as The Washington Post announced recently that it has begun testing a plan to use Amazon Polly to translate written articles into lifelike speech. For the next month, select articles on mobile from categories like business, lifestyle, technology and entertainment will include an option for people to listen to rather than read the content. Users will be able to listen to four stories per day under the pilot.

CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY SPOTLIGHT
|
BY CHRIS HOLBERT, CEO, SECURATRAC
The construction industry was the number one workplace for fatalities in 2015 according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). There were a total of 4,379 worker fatalities in private industry in 2015 and 21.4 percent of those deaths were workers in construction. These numbers make it evident that construction executives need solutions for monitoring the health and safety of their workers. Recent technological advances can help workers get the most efficient means possible to report and react to emergencies.
