Take your cycling workout to new levels with the underwater exercise cycle. The bike is a combination jetted tub and exercise bike, with the surrounding water providing a low impact environment while keeping the rider cool and massaged by the 12 water jets. The bike functions are controlled by a touchscreen, and the tub is designed to be drained after use to maintain a clean environment. 30 minutes on this bike is equivalent to 2 hours on a conventional bike, with the user...

It has been discovered that a compound derived from Douglas fir needles can be used sterilize surgical devices and medical implants. The idea is to develop a self-sterilizing composite material derived from the needles of the Douglas fir. The extract from the needles will be combined with a silver nitrate solution, where the extract will function as a natural chemical reducing agent and convert the silver ions in the nitrate solution to nanoscopic silver metal particles. This will...

You can make your next visit to the dentist a bit less traumatic with a smart toothbrush that will track and display your brushing habits on a smartphone. The brush will count brushing strokes, monitoring how long and when you brush your teeth and displaying the information in an easy to read graph.

The armband water bottle will attach to the arm of the user, providing another option for hydration and gear storage. The water bottle holder will include a 16-ounce aluminum bottle and straps to the upper arm with a neoprene sleeve. A detachable separate pocket will hold other supplies, such as keys, music player or cell phone, and will feature a see-through face to allow access to touchscreens.

A tooth-embedded sensor could help people with low will-power break the habits of smoking, drinking or overeating. The device will consist of a tiny circuit board that will be embedded inside a tooth, dentures or dental brace. The sensor will be able to recognize a variety of jaw motions, including those that indicate chewing, smoking or drinking. An accelerometer on the device will allow it to send the data to a smartphone. The device will be powered by an external battery...

Features will include a tracking system that will report the location of the phone every 15 minutes by pinpointing the location on a map. The interface will be designed to be child-friendly and easy to use, and the child will only be...

I suggest using an antimicrobial sleeve that will fit most handles. It will greatly reduce the spreading of germs!

The idea is to develop a technology that will pair a microphone tattoo on the throat with mobile devices, eliminating background noise for clearer phone calls. The tattoo, which will actually simply adhere to the larynx of the user, will be equipped with its own power supply, antenna receiver and optional display. It will pair with mobile devices via Bluetooth, NFC and ZigBee network, transmitting the vibrations form the larynx directly to the devices.

The body dryer will be designed to make towels a thing of the past, replacing bacteria-laden terrycloth with a hot air wand. Inspired by the hair drier, the body dryer concept will include three different settings that will allow the user to choose the intensity and heat of the air by turning the device. After stepping from the shower or bath, the user will simply wave the device over their skin to evaporate the excess moisture. A built-in HEPA and humidity filter will help keep...

The Aeroball concept takes air-purifying devices to a new level, filtering the air in the home with small glowing balls that float around the room. The Aeroballs float around the room using helium, where they filter and add fragrance to the air in the room and sink to the ground when they need re-charging. The balls also absorb light during the day, allowing them to create a soft illumination at night that adds to the over-all sensory experience.
