The included software then converts the scanned image into text for easy searching, editing, and retrieval, or exports it to your preferred contact management application, including Outlook, ACT!, and Lotus Notes. The scanner reads single- or double-sided cards, and a batch option allows you to quickly input multiple cards. Its compact size makes it ideal for business travel, allowing you to file contact information before returning to the office. Recognizes 18 languages. Software runs on Windows® 2000, XP, or Vista. Includes a USB cable. 1 1/4 H x 4 1/4 W x 3 3/4 D. (6 oz.).

This keyless garage entry system uses a fingerprint scanner that grants access to up to 10 authorized users, providing more convenience and better security--especially for families with children--because there's no need to memorize a passcode and no keys to lose. The system consists of a receiver inside your garage that wires easily to any existing garage door opener (18' of wire included) and a fingerprint scanner mounted on the outside. Authorized users simply swipe a finger over the sensor; the scanner recognizes their fingerprint and transmits a signal to the receiver that opens the garage door. The system's patented security technology transmits a new code every time, thwarting code grabbers used by would-be thieves. Users are easily set up in four simple steps from the scanning unit's keypad. A sliding panel protects the sensor from the elements. The receiver plugs into 120V AC. The scanner requires four AAA batteries (not included) that will provide power for at least a year; an LED indicator tells you when batteries need replacement. 8 1/2 H x 9 1/2 W x 2 1/2D. (1 lb.).

This floating speaker communicates wirelessly with a transmitter connected to any audio source, allowing you to listen to music in your pool. The transmitter works with any audio source with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, including iPod®s, radios, and most MP3 players, and uses the 900Mhz band--you can select from three channels--to provide an interference-free signal for the speaker up to 150' away. The 3 5-watt speaker is housed in a floating, fully submersible (up to 3'), weatherproof ABS and rubber case with controls for power and volume. The speaker has two blue LED mood lights that cast their glow over the water at night. Six AA batteries (required) power the speaker for up to six hours; the transmitter requires four AA batteries or can be plugged into AC using the included adapter. Supports up to nine additional speakers. Speaker: 6 sphere. (1 3/4 lbs.) Transmitter: 4 H x 3 W x 3 D. (4 oz.).

This is the microscope that uses an LCD instead of a standard eyepiece to display objects as small as a protozoan's flagella, a strand of hair, or plant tissue and the fine details of larger items such as coins, stamps, or insects. The compound microscope uses a built-in 2 MP digital camera to capture still images or videos and displays objects on its 3 1/2 thin-film transistor LCD at 320 x 240 resolution. The three objective lenses (4X, 10X, or 40X) provide magnification from 40X-400X (up to 1600X when used with its 4X digital zoom feature). Objects can either be illuminated from the top (for solid objects) or from the bottom (for prepared slides) using two separate 6-watt LED light sources that can each be controlled by turning an exposure value knob. A filter wheel provides six different colors to help block out wavelengths to make objects clearer. The camera's built-in 128 MB memory can store up to 120 still shots or up to 40 minutes of video at 1600 x 1200 resolution; an SD card slot allows for memory expansion. It has easy-to-use controls for taking and reviewing pictures and videos; it also has a USB port (USB cable included) that allows you to download your pictures and videos to your computer. Includes five slides (insect and plant parts) and a carrying case. Plugs into AC. 13 H x 6 W x 4 1/2 D. (3 1/4 lbs.).

WAS 59.95 NOW 34.95 This breathable, lightweight travel shirt has six pockets that accommodate a cell phone, credit cards, passport, camera, and an iPod® without causing the shirt to sag or pull awkwardly, providing discreet, safe storage of valuables without sacrificing comfort.

This sensor floats in your swimming pool, hot tub, or Koi pond and wirelessly reports the water temperature to a remote display in your home. The floating sensor can send a signal up to 300', allowing you to place the display anywhere in your home without interference. It measures temperatures between 32° F-158° F, providing an accuracy of ± 1.8° F. The remote display can also be set to alert you when the water has achieved a pre-set temperature or when there is a danger of frost. Also displays indoor temperature and humidity. Displays in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Requires six AA batteries (three for each device) that provide up to three years of operation for both devices. Sensor 3 1/2 H x 3 1/4 Diam. Display 5 H x 4 W x 1 1/4 D. (9 1/2 oz.).

25 Additional Prepared Slides for use with the Video Screen Microscope.

This is the only pogo stick designed for use in swimming pools that allows you to perform a variety of waterborne stunts as you bounce off walls or bottoms. A rigid ball filled with water fits into the non-slip footrest, providing responsive push-off when compressed against a pool's floor with your body weight, enabling you to splash effortlessly in shallower water and bound powerfully through deeper water. The stick is made from heavy-duty ABS plastic with two rubber handlebars for a firm grip. For use with in-ground pools with solid surfaces. Ages 9 and up. 35 H. (6 lbs.).

WAS 69.95 NOW 49.95 The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute commissioned a panel of swimmers to test swim fins and these proved to be the best because of the superior thrust and momentum they generated. Unlike rubber fins, these are made from molded silicone that is denser than water, helping swimmers keep their feet below the surface for proper form and faster swimming. Swimmers lauded the fins' ability to cut through the water with little resistance, leading one panelist to say they provided ..the best speed with no effort or fatigue, while lesser fins required vigorous kicking that quickly left legs exhausted. The fins have v-shaped rails on the blades that help to channel water along the blades as you kick, reducing unnecessary drag. Scoring highest for features, the fins have dedicated left and right feet, rounded foot cavities, and heel straps with ankle cutouts, eliminating the chafing and pinching common to traditional fins. Treads on the soles ensure confident footing, and the asymmetrical blades are short yet wide for improved mobility when walking on land. Each size has a specific blade-to-foot area ratio to ensure optimal thrust. Specify Men's sizes M (8-9), L (10-11), or XL (12-13); Women's sizes S (7-8), M (9-10), or L (11-12).
