\nBattelle has created what they are calling the DroneDefender, and it uses radio control frequency disruption to halt and bring down drones in a way that keeps the drone intact while preventing it from setting off any kind of self-destruct sequence. This is important because it allows a better chance of identifying the source of drones that are violating airspace restrictions.
\nThe DroneDefender is capable of five hours of continuous use, it also has a 400 meter range and jams ISM and GPS signals. While there are other drone stoppers like this available, nothing is close to being this portable. The DroneDefender is looking to be the future of defense against drones. Check it out in action in the video below.

Tech Trends 2) LG is taking on mobile payments in an entirely different way than expected<\/h4>\n
LG is trying to revive something that has already failed once before. LG is building a single credit card that acts as all of your credit cards, which is very similar to that of Coin<\/a>.

Well Google has finally released what they paid him for finding a loophole in their domains. The lock of the future has arrived. TappLock has designed a lock that is opened with your fingerprint, much like your iPhone. Using it\u2019s \u201ccutting edge encrypted fingerprint sensor,\u201d the TappLock is opened in just .8 seconds. Allowing you to easily access whatever you have locked. Tech Trends- Jan 30-31 Battelle releases drone defender, LG Pay releases a surprise, Google settles\u00a0and more in this week\u2019s Weekend in Tech Trends.

\nLG\u2019s \u201cWhite Card\u201d is a part of LG Pay and features a simple LCD to display which card is selected, as well as buttons to switch between the cards. The contacts on the left side of the card are used for charging the White Card, which requires a separate charger.
\nLG Pay is looking to the White Card to separate itself from Apple, Android, and Samsung\u2019s mobile payment platforms, which also replace the need for carry around so many different cards. While it doesn\u2019t seem like it makes much sense, LG has ordered 50,000 cards and will launch the service in South Korea. Check out the leaked photo of the White Card below.

\n$6,006.13 was the settlement from Google. Simply because those are the numbers that spell out Google. Better yet, when Google heard Sanmay Ved, the purchaser of the domain name, was donating the money to charity, they doubled the amount. Congrats Sanmay on the awesome find.
