The e-ink card will let users carry all their card information on one device and choose between them via the card's touchscreen. The card will be equipped with the standard magnetic swipe strip, so it can be used at any location that already accepts today's cards. It can carry up to 20 cards, which can be chosen via the e-ink strip at the bottom of the card - allowing the user to scroll through the cards, lock the card with a PIN or even generate QR codes. The card will also come...

The skies will get a bit safer for birds with the wind turbine, which will use no blades at all. The turbine will capture up to 80 percent of the wind's kinetic energy (current turbines only capture about 30 percent). Instead of spinning blades, the wind will be harnessed by a sail that will move in a non-rotational back and forth motion. The motion will then be converted to a hydraulic pressure that can either be stored or instantly converted to electricity via a hydraulic motor...

The device will encourage better posture by reminding the user to sit up straight. It will be worn around the waist and feature an imbedded 'posture sensor' able to monitor the user's lower back spinal posture. When the device senses a slouch, it will vibrate as a reminder to the user to sit up straight. The device will also be paired wirelessly with an iOS device to track posture improvements over time.

A new take on the transparent solar cell screen cover could bring solar powered screens to the market sooner than anticipated. The new, lower tech method will involve alternating stripes of thin-film solar cells with transparent film and then adding a layer of tiny lenses. The layer of lenses will help to spread the image on the screen, causing the stripes to become invisible while also concentrating the sun's rays. The technology could extend the battery life of a mobile...

Get the most out of your workout with a smart fitness shirt that will gather detailed information about the wearer's exertion level to help encourage an optimal workout. The shirt will be embedded with an array of sensors that will measure changes in heart rate, breathing and pulse. The information can be uploaded wirelessly, and then used to track the wearer's physical output.

The cancer-detecting bra will monitor body heat to help identify tumors at the early stages--allowing for prompt treatment and a higher survival rate. Developed to work as a supplement to conventional screening methods, the bra will be equipped with sensors to monitor heat patterns in breast tissue over a 2 to 12 hour period. This data will then be transmitted to a computer, which will analyze the patterns to determine if any early tumors are beginning to form.

A park bench that will allow the user to rotate to a dry seat will make it a bit more pleasant to enjoy a seat after a rain shower. The bench, designed for cities with frequent but sporadic rain showers, will be equipped with long, narrow panels that fit together to form the bench's seat. A crank attached to the panels will allow them to be rotated to reveal a dry sitting surface on top while the wet panels are rotated to the bottom of the seat.
