The idea is to create vibrating belts which will make it possible for soldiers to follow directions and find their way through the darkness. The belt will contain eight mini actuators that will represent the eight cardinal directions. A GPS system, compass, and accelerometer will be able to track the direction a soldier moves, and provide a gentle, vibratory nudge to help keep him on the correct path.

The new computer monitor will keep a 'eye' on the user, providing feedback to encourage better ergonomics. The monitor will keep track of the user's posture and distance from the monitor, as well how long it has been since the user's last break, and will send alerts through small icons at the bottom of the screen. It will also turn off the monitor if it senses the user is not present, cutting energy consumption by up to 80%.

The new faucet system will not begin to pour until the water reaches the desired temperature, reducing the amount of water lost while waiting for the water to warm up or cool down. The system will feature a thermostat and a spring inside a cartridge. Depressing the tap will cause the spring to shut off the water flow to the faucet and divert it to a tank for later use while the thermostat will measure the temperature of the incoming water. Once the water has reached the proper...

My idea is to create smart glasses. The eyeglasses will automatically adapt the wearer's head position, adjusting their focus as needed. There will be an LCD-like layer in the glass that can change structure when excited by an electrical current, adjusting the focus. The frames will have a built in accelerometer that can detect movement, such as lowering the head to read. What is more, the glasses are supposed to have both manual and automatic modes.

The new smartphone application will be able to customize a mobile device's output to suit the specific hearing needs of the user. Since no one has the same kind of hearing loss, the application will run a simple test to identify the user's particular type of hearing loss across a range of frequencies. The software will then alter the output of the device by turning up the volume on the frequencies the user will mark as difficult to hear.

I suggest a quick, simple idea to remove body hair temporarily with no trouble. You prepare a bath of hot water and add a couple of drops of a special hair removal bath-gel which activates hair removal. Once the bathtub is full, you lie in the tub and soak from neck to toes. After 10 minutes or so you go to the shower and easily remove your body hair with a sponge. This is a great way for the hairy men and women to get rid of body hair quickly.

I suggest creating shoes with metal detectors for soldiers. The metal detector would be attached at the bottom of the shoe so as soldiers would be able to detect mines and trip wires in the field.

The idea is to develop a cloth that can block toxic fumes by trapping the molecules inside the fibers of the material. The cloth will consist of cellulose fibers and metal-organic framework molecules, which will form pores able to trap and contain molecules of gas. The fabrics could be tailored to trap different sizes of molecules, blocking different types of gasses.

New lamps will be powered by both solar and wind power, providing up to 12 hours of light when fully charged. The lamps will feature recyclable polypropylene shades that will catch the wind, rotating to create interesting lighting effects. The lamps will be available as either pendants or stakes, and can recharge in 9-12 hours on a sunny day or 24 hours in a 4 m/s wind. They will be both approved for use as outdoor lighting.

Do you like your ordinary suitcase? Don't you want to make it unusual? I can suggest you funny suitcase stickers as a solution. There are nine humorous pictures, which can allow tourists to stand out from gray and dismal crowds at the airports or train stations, as well as to cope better with any troubles of travelling such as delays or a long customs examination. For example, there are stickers with the image of money, drugs, tied woman, sex toys in the Suitcase Stickers...
