3M, the Post It Note and technology company has recently shown off its 22″ touch-sensitive monitor which is capable of detecting up to 20 points simultaneously. So you can get extremely hands on with this one.

This 3M monitor is the M2256PW, which comes with a projected capacitive touch panel and three capacitive chips for detection purposes, with a response time of no longer than 6ms and a resolution of 1,680 x 1,050 pixels. It should hit the market for $1,500. That’s enterprise markets, not the home user market.

We’ve seen USB-powered displays, but those weren’t powered by USB 3.0. 3M has unveiled some new monitor technology, by showing off an 18.5-inch 1366 x 768 pixel display powered by dual USB 3.0 ports. USB 3.0 has 5Gbit bandwidth, so it is much better at high-definition pictures, compared to the 480Mbits for USB 2.0.

Two USB 3.0 ports are used because a single USB 3.0 port offers 7W, while this monitor needs 8W. It’s looking like we will all be using USB displays like this in the future.

Projectors for a long time were large boxy devices that had to be carried around in their own case to keep them safe. This was a huge pain for users who had to use projectors to give presentations frequently. Thankfully, the smaller pocket and pico projectors started coming out that reduced the size of the average projector considerably.

3M has unveiled a new pocket projector at CES called the MPro150 that can throw a 50-inch image and has 15 lumens of brightness. That isn’t going to cut it in bright rooms. The projector has 1GB of internal storage allowing presentations to be uploaded directly to the device.

3M is more than just scotch tape and to prove it they’ve announced a new multitouch LCD at CES 2010. The 3M Display M2256PW is a 22-inch, high def multitouch LCD for professionals with a resolution of 1680 x 1050. Professionals meaning anyone who needs up to 10-finger input with fast response time.

Tom Cruise will want to check it out to practice for a minority Report sequel. The Windows 7-compatible display features DVI and VGA video inputs, an audio input, and USB ports. 3M is all set to show off some conceptual applications that they currently have in development for the platform at CES as well, which should be interesting.

3M wants you to have some privacy and so they are offering a new laptop privacy screen with “unmatched data protection alongside increased image clarity”. It allows you to do your work in privacy even when in crowded spaces like on a plane.

The 3M Gold Privacy Filters offer protection for all of your sensitive data on your laptop with a reflective gold screen when viewed from the side. It also features a glossy surface for sharper and brighter text and images without blurring or distortion. This way only you know that you are looking at a My Little Pony fansite.

The stethoscope is one of those doctor’s tools that has remained unchanged forever, but now the 3M Littman Electronic Stethoscope will do more for doctors and help them to better diagnose various health conditions. Some features include noise cancellation and sound augmenting, so they can hear better.

The device also has the ability to record heart and lung sounds and file them so that they can be checked later by software like Zargis Stethassist to understand any beating patterns and irregularities.

You thought Nuclear Duct Tape was tough. Army Rescue Tape is so good that the armed forces use it. It doesn’t say what they use for though. How tough is it? Well they say that it can even be used as an emergency fan belt. Yeah, that’s tough.

Made of silicone, the tape bonds to itself 1 minute after adhesion. The bond becomes permanent and the tape tears at 700psi so using your teeth isn’t a good idea. It’s acid, solvent and oil resistant and it’s resistant to UV rays.

You wouldn’t want to be tied up with this stuff, that’s for sure. Most guys know that duct tape is great to have around as it has unlimited uses in all sorts of situations. But up until now we really haven’t had a stronger version of the stuff. Well, 3M’s nuclear-grade duct tape is strong.

Believe it or not, 3M’s Performance Plus Duct Tape is designed for use in nuclear power plants. It works at temperatures of up to 200 degrees and can be removed without leaving residue. Not enough? It’s also waterproof, and you can write on it easier. And it’s even available to you and me for just $14 a roll.

One of the ways for fans of mobile multimedia like movies and personal video on the go can view content on a larger screen is with a small projector. Some day mobile phones will have projectors built-in, but until then 3M has a perfect projector for someone looking for a very portable unit.

The projector is called the 3M MPro110 and is one of the tiniest projectors ever made. It measures in at a mere 115mm x 50mm x 22mm (L x W x H) and weighs 152g. Despite the small size, the projector can throw an image of 5-inches to 50-inches and offers a resolution of 640 x 480.

This new 3M Mobile ID Reader could soon be used at events or in situations that require tight security. The idea is that it would scan your identification quickly to prove that you are who you say you are. Then you can be on your way in no time. It works like a credit card scanner and it would be used to scan things like your Visa card or passport, cross checking that info with watch lists of those who are threats.

It runs on Windows Mobile 6 and features WiFi, GSM/GPRS EDGE and a fingerprint sensor. It also has 8GB of storage for keeping track of those that have been scanned. That way they can leave all of that data sitting around somewhere and screw us all. Let’s hope not.
