Why not equip a knee bandage with sensors? This will make it possible to monitor the knee's range of movement, enabling the patient and the doctor to keep track of the healing process over time. The bandage will consist of a bracket with sensors to measure and record the knee's range of movement, as well as its degree of rotation. The data will be recorded continuously and evaluated by software that will allow doctors to easily recognize trends and adjust the treatment if...

The shop is located near the Imperial Palace and surrounded by the big park that is a favorite place for joggers from all over Tokyo. There are 16 showers, 248 cloakrooms for joggers to rent in the shop. Moreover, the shop offers its customers to...

Why not take advantage of the natural sweetener xylitol to create a shoe that will convert sweat to cool air. The cycling shoe will include an insole, which will help to keep heat from building up within the shoe. The insole will be infused with xylitol, an alcohol based sugar. The fibers in the insole will be able to moderate both moisture and temperature, absorbing body heat and converting it to a 'refrigerant'.

The new super-snorkel will allow swimmers to swim and breathe more easily without ever lifting their face from the water. The snorkel will be designed to fit around the head, allowing the user to take in air from the top valve while exhaling it through the mouth. The system will be arranged so that no spent air will remain in the device and no water will enter, and it will fit tightly around the head to stay securely in place without drooping.

The buyers send their IDs, which are assigned to them after blood donating, and name items they would like to purchase. 20 donors will get the clothes from the...

It would be really great to have a tool to make retrieving submerged golf balls faster and easier. The device could be made of a series of mesh discs mounted on a carbon steel axle weighted at either end. It would be pulled with a rope across the bottoms of golf course water traps. As the discs turn, the balls would be trapped between them, to be plucked out at the end of each traverse.

A luxury hotel Library was opened on the Koh Samui island which is the most beautiful place in Thailand. This hotel offers travelers a new intellectual type of recreation. The main difference between the hotel Library and other resorts all over the world is that it offers a completely different approach to relaxation and recovery. Instead of usual all inclusive bar or restaurant near the pool, the hotel has a huge library. In this library, you can take any book to read while...

Do you hate shoveling the walk-way, porch or driveway as I do? My idea is to lay small heated coils under the concrete walk way or driveway. The coils will heat the concrete or pavement above freezing temperature and will prevent snow and ice from building up. Such a solution will save your time and money as well as save you from slipping and falling.

Why not create a cane which will do more than help you walk? The cane will monitor your pulse, blood pressure and body temperature. It will have a built-in navigator to lead you to any destination. A small display on the wrist will show you the data.

A simulated sky scene ceiling, complete with passing clouds and varying luminescence could help to create a more comfortable office environment. The dynamic ceiling will consist of an array of tiles, each with 288 LEDs. The system of tiles will be covered with a diffuser which will blur the individual lights, and a combination of LEDs in blue, green and white will ensure the full light spectrum is produced. The virtual sky LEDs will be carefully configured to create a...
