Bzigo tracks and highlights wily mosquitoes
Israeli startup Bzigo has developed a device that optically tracks mosquitoes and highlights them with an eye-safe laser. The device incorporates an infrared LED, an HD wide-angle infrared camera, and a microprocessor to differentiate between mosquitoes and other airborne objects. Once a mosquito is detected, the user is notified via a smartphone app and the device laser-projects a box around the mosquito. The current prototype can detect mosquitoes up to a distance of 8 meters and is intended for indoor use. Bzigo is in talks with investors and plans to launch the product early next year.

Saar Wilf's Bid to Rid the World of Clunky Online Payments
Saar Wilf, a tech entrepreneur and investor, is launching Initiative Q, a digital currency and payment network aimed at solving the inefficiencies of existing payment methods. The system, called Q, is still in development and its success is not guaranteed. However, hundreds of thousands of people have already registered to receive an initial amount of Q coins. The coins will be released at a rate intended to maintain a stable exchange rate of around one Q per $1. Initiative Q is a registered company and plans to bring in investors if it gains enough traction. The company aims to create a coin that keeps its value over time and will be managed by an independent monetary committee. The focus of Initiative Q is to compete with Visa in the payment industry.
