    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.
