The patch will deliver migraine medicine through the skin, eliminating the need to swallow medication while battling the intense nausea that often accompanies migraines. The transdermal system will be made up of a single-use, battery powered patch that will deliver the migraine-fighting drug through the skin at the push of a button. An integrated microprocessor will monitor the skin's resistance during the 4-hour dosing period, ensuring accurate delivery amounts with minimal...

A new device will suck food directly out of the stomach through an implanted tube. The dieting system will feature a thin silicon tube that will run from the inside of the stomach to a poker-chip sized Skin-Port on the surface of the abdomen. Twenty minutes after the meal has been completed, the user will attach the held-held device to the tube and turn a lever, allowing the barely-digested food to exit the stomach and flow into the device's reservoir. The device will remove only a...

With help from a new device and its accompanying app, gardeners will be able to grow healthy plants. Sensors will track sunlight, humidity, temperature and fertilizer levels. When paired with the application for iOS, the device will send data via Bluetooth to notify the gardener about the plant's changing needs. The application will be programmed with information about the requirements of thousands of different plants, which will allow it to respond specifically to each plant's...

The Milkmaid will text you when the milk has started to spoil. The glass container will sit upon a detachable base containing a sensor able to detect the pH level of its contents. The changing state of the milk will be indicated by colored LED lights on the jug, and the device will send a text message about the current state of the milk to an assigned mobile phone. The container will also include a free app that provides information about the status of the milk, such as...

The electric lawnmower will cut the grass while you relax, and will even know to avoid the flowers. The lawnmower will be able to mow almost 20,000 square feet on one battery charge, returning automatically to its charging station when its power is low. It will navigate by use of a boundary wire installed at the edges of the garden or flowerbeds and will back away from obstacles on the lawn, such as trees or plant containers.

A new bike will be designed to help toddlers develop motor skills by providing a more stable ride. The bike will be propelled through the motion of two large spheres supported by stabilizing balls, which will allow the bike to move in any direction without falling over. The spheres can also be removed and replaced with more traditional wheels to challenge developing skills.

A GPS tracking device for parents will allow them to keep an eye on their children even when they are out of sight. The gel cased tracker can be attached to a book bag or key ring, and will include an antenna that will constantly be connected to the user's home computer. Once the device is registered online, parents can set up zones where they expect their child to be. An alarm will sound via text message or email if the child leave an expected zone. The device can also be...

I wish there was a chef jacket with nano-fabric. It would be water resistant, stain resistant, anti-microbial and moisturize release & breathable. Nanotechnology is a technology based on the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules to build structures to complex, atomic specifications. These proprietary technologies would alter fabrics at the molecular level, creating advanced performance and durability through the life of the fabric.

The idea is to create a portable laundry machine that will be operated by hand crank much like a salad spinner and use zero energy. Ideal for small spaces, mobile lifestyles, and displaced living, the laundry machine will be simple to use. Clothes, water and detergent will be added to the machine to soak. The user will then agitate and rinse the clothes by spinning the crank and draining or adding water as needed. Clothes will be spun partially dry in the same manner. The...

The idea is to develop a computer system that could help to reduce the amount of infant deaths due to SIDS. The system will consist of a standard video camera and computer that will run special software. The camera will monitor the baby's skin tone, which changes color when heart rate decreases suddenly, and an algorithm in the software will estimate the baby's pulse. If the pulse slows down dramatically, an alarm will sound and wake up both the baby and the parents. A sudden...
