RSSHOW TO - Deaf dog caller collar from RC car
Instructables user arcticpenguin hacked an RC car to make a vibrating dog collar for his deaf dog and shows us how to do the same for about five dollars. The hardest part may be training your old dog to the new trick! Via the Instructables Weekend Builder.

This is a very useful innovation. I am sure people with deaf dogs will appreciate. I am keen to know if it is possible to take this technology laterally and use it for
(1) Please do not laugh, ladies keep their mobile in the bag, mostly untraceable and mostly not heard when ringing. If this may also lead to an arm band, which will vibrate when a mobile is called, it will help hugely.
(2) Any other similar application?

Dont see why not. Check out any cell phone ebay store and there are little charms that light up when the phone rings. Not sure how they work, but if you could do the same ring detection scheme it would be trivial to then make an arm band vibrator.
