As a part of the Sony Startup Acceleration Programme (SSAP), it’s a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/25-tech-products-that-raised-over-1-million-on-Kickstarter-and-where-to-buy-them/articleshow/67130382.cms">crowded funded</a> project that’s only met 48% of its <a href="https://first-flight.sony.com/pj/reonpocket">funding requirement</a> so far. The total cost for the project is 66 million Yen and so far only 31.7 million Yen have come in, with another 24 days left to meet the deadline. A single unit of the Reon Pocket costs $130, which is approximately ₹9,000. How does it work? The device itself may be small but in order for it to work properly, it comes with a specially designed shirt that has a small pocket behind the neck for the gadget to seat itself. Essentially, it’s <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/silcon-valley-never-talks-about-the-real-reason-you-dont-own-a-smart-watch-or-wearable160tech/articleshow/32759343.cms?mobile=no">smart innerwear</a> meant to be worn underneath your normal clothes. You can control the temperature using a smartphone app that communicates with the unit using bluetooth. While keeping cool in the summer, the wearable technology can also be turned into a heater when winters kick in. According to the <a href="https://first-flight.sony.com/images/projects/reonpocket/image07.jpg">product team</a>, the Reon Pocket can reduce temperatures by up to 13 degrees Celsius and make it warmer by 8.3 degrees Celsius. In both cases, the fan — which users can control via the app — has five different speed settings. The wearable air conditioner lasts 90 minutes in a single charge on average, according to the company. According to <a href="https://sony-startup-acceleration-program.com/article049.html">Yoichi Ito</a>, the project leader, they are aiming to commercialise the Reon Pocket by the summer of 2020.

Well, you can do anything, but stay off of my blue suede shoes." While suede certainly has a velvety, rich appearance, it's equally undeniable that it stains, scuffs, and flattens easily. That's why it's so important to know how to take care of suede. A periodic brush and cleaning will keep your suede shoes, jacket, hat, pants, and furniture looking as fine as the day you bought it.But even more importantly, you need to treat any wear-and-tear on suede promptly to avoid permanent stains or damage to the material. While it's not really difficult to clean and care for suede, it does take more attention than many other types of leather, which is why we decided to lay out the proper way to care for your suede shoes, clothing, or household décor. <h2>Basic suede care</h2><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B6F9KXG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_032119_how-to-clean-suede-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00B6F9KXG&amp;linkId=b9262149533c6c55a10b9cfa4a6b350e" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Getty Images</div></div></div></a>The best way to keep your suede shoes, hats, home furnishings, and gloves looking good is with regular preventative care. While as a general rule, you should leave suede garments at home on days when rain is in the forecast, inevitably at some point you'll be caught in an unexpected shower, step in a puddle, or walk across wet grass. That's why suede clothing, footwear, and accessories should all be treated with a water-repelling spray like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B6F9KXG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_032119_how-to-clean-suede-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00B6F9KXG&amp;linkId=b9262149533c6c55a10b9cfa4a6b350e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Brand Garde Rain &amp; Stain Repellant</a>. To be safe, first test the spray in an inconspicuous area. If all is well, go ahead and apply the spray all over your suede shoes or other suede items, and let it dry completely. While you still should avoid water while wearing suede, the protectant will greatly diminish the chances of staining should the suede get wet. Reapply it once each season for the best protection. Regular brushing of your suede is another must, whether it's a wearable item or home décor. A good suede brush like the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067WY916/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_032119_how-to-clean-suede-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0067WY916&amp;linkId=afa964a88808e9277805727d9e7b07c1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Redecker Suede Brush</a>, which has both brass wire and natural pig bristle for a thorough but gentle cleaning, whisks away dust and dirt while restoring the suede's nap. You really should brush your suede after every wear, or use the brush on your suede furniture weekly, but if that seems like too much trouble, then aim for once a month or so. Brush the suede thoroughly all over the surface, working in back-and-forth motions only. Don't make circles or push the nap into different directions. Regular brushing is the best way to keep suede looking good and remove dust or light stains. <h2>Removing stains from suede</h2><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067WY916/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_032119_how-to-clean-suede-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0067WY916&amp;linkId=afa964a88808e9277805727d9e7b07c1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Getty Images</div></div></div></a>It happens: Your suede shoes have mud or dirt on the toes or along the sides or rain has stained your suede hat. No need to worry: Just use your suede brush. Often, a thorough brushing is all that's needed to remove the grime, but if things are looking extra dirty, you'll need to go a bit further. <ol><li style="font-weight: 400;">If the stain is dry, grab a pencil eraser. Work the eraser over the stain, making small circular motions and applying light pressure. Brush the suede to restore the nap once the stain is gone.</li><li style="font-weight: 400;">Stain still there? Head to the pantry for some white vinegar. Pour a little bit onto a clean, dry cloth, and rub the vinegar into the stained suede. You want to dampen the suede, not soak it. Let the suede air dry, and then brush the spot to remove any lingering marks. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;">If oil gets onto your suede, sprinkle the spot with enough cornstarch to cover it completely, and let it sit for several hours. Then use your suede brush to remove the cornstarch, and hopefully, the oily stain along with it. If there is still a visible mark, use white vinegar as outlined above. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;">Wet stains, including water, should be blotted with a towel as much as possible before allowing the suede to air dry. Never set your suede near a heater or use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process, as that can fade or damage the material. If the suede dries with a watermark, you'll want to treat it with white vinegar, let the suede dry once more, and then brush it thoroughly. </li></ol><h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B6F9KXG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_032119_how-to-clean-suede-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00B6F9KXG&amp;linkId=b9262149533c6c55a10b9cfa4a6b350e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buy Apple Brand Garde Rain &amp; Stain Repellent on Amazon for $13.99</a></h3><h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067WY916/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_032119_how-to-clean-suede-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0067WY916&amp;linkId=afa964a88808e9277805727d9e7b07c1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buy the Redecker Suede Brush on Amazon for $14.99</a></h3><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-shoe-polish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Check out our guide to the best shoe polish you can buy</a>.</h3><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-leather-protector" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Check out our guide to the best leather protectors you can buy</a>.</h3><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a> Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.

How to clean and protect suede - and all the tools you need to do it

<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image">Yoshikazu Tsuno/AFPA flexible integrated circuits and touch sensor system for stress-free wearable healthcare sensors is pictured in Tokyo on July 24, 2013.</div></div>
Medical engineers said Sunday they had created a device the size of a plaster which can monitor patients by tracking their muscle activity before administering their medication.
Methods for monitoring so-called "movement disorders" such as epilepsy and Parkinson's disease have traditionally included video recordings or wearable devices, but these tend to be bulky and inflexible.
The new gadget, which is worn on the skin, looks like a Band-Aid but uses nanotechnology - in which building blocks as small as atoms and molecules are harnessed to bypass problems of bulkiness and stiffness - to monitor the patient.
Scientists have long hoped to create an unobtrusive device able to capture and store medical information as well as administer drugs in response to the data.
This has proved difficult due to the large amount of onboard electronics and storage space required, high power consumption, and the lack of a mechanism for delivering medicine via the skin.
But although monitoring helps to track disease progression and allows better treatment, until now the electronics used in the devices have been hard and brittle, and not ideal for an on-the-skin device.
But the team from South Korea and the United States said they had found the solution in nanomaterials, creating a flexible and stretchable device that resembles an adhesive plaster, about one millimetre (0.04 inches) thick.
Still a prototype, the gadget comprises multiple layers of ultrathin nanomembranes and nanoparticles, the creators wrote in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
"The team use silicon nanomembranes in the motion sensors, gold nanoparticles in the non-volatile memory and silica nanoparticles, loaded with drugs, in a thermal actuator," they wrote in a summary.
The study showed that when worn on the wrist of a patient, the patch could measure and record muscle activity.
The recorded data then triggered the release, with the aid of a wafer-thin internal heater, of drugs stored inside the nanoparticles.
A temperature sensor made of silicon nanomembranes monitored the skin temperature to prevent burns during drug delivery.
"This platform overcomes the limitations of conventional wearable devices and has the potential to improve compliance, data quality and the efficacy of current clinical procedures," the authors wrote.
Dae-Hyeong Kim from the Center for Nanoparticle Research in Seoul said that the device currently needs a microprocessor from an external computer, which could be in a wristwatch, to which it is attached with thin wires.
"But in the future wireless components will be incorporated," to make the device independent and fully mobile, he told AFP.
