The idea is to create a new device which will be small enough to be injected into the eye, where it will be maneuvered to deliver drugs more effectively. The device will be controlled electro-magnetically to the desired location of the eye, where it will then deliver a capsule of medication or remain in place for a long period of time, delivering prolonged treatment. It can then be removed from the eye with a magnetic needle. Such a delivery system could be particularly...

The smart pedometer is able to detect when the wearer is moving through a variety of physical actions, and can also be set to measure the distance traveled against famous landmarks. The device can also detect the difference between climbing stairs and walking. It can re-interpret the data into personal goals such as climbing the Eiffel Tower. The pedometer is supposed to allow the user to link up to their friends through the social networking feature.

A newly developed liquid in conjunction with bacteria-killing gas will use viruses to help break down the resistance of antibiotic resistant bacteria, rendering them vulnerable to conventional cleaning products. The liquid will take advantage of virus infecting bacteria called bacteriophages. The bacteriophages have been engineered to restore a gene in the bacteria that they have lost in the process of becoming resistant. The liquid should cost only a few dollars per liter.

Why not advertise on the back of clothes homeless people wear? They have a great exposure, as they wander here and there all the day. Advantages of the idea: * The homeless get free clothing and a stipend; * Advertisers get exposure; * Advertisers get a charitable tax receipt.

The idea is to create a new ring mouse. It will be worn on the hand and controlled by the thumb, using a new optical touch technology. The Ring mouse will weigh less than half an ounce and will have a wireless range of about 30 feet. The ring will be worn on the index finger, with the left and right click and touch control tracking arranged around the top of the ring and controlled by the thumb. Primarily intended for presentation controls, the new mouse will also be useful...

The idea is to develop an animated sign language translation system that will automatically convert words into gestures for deaf viewers, which could help improve the spread of information during disasters. Subtitles are not always enough for people who use sign language as their main form of communication. The new system will be able to convert the text into sign language delivered by a suit-wearing avatar in a virtual newsroom. The system will also able to use synonyms to replace...

I'm not really sure if it is possible to make my idea come true but here it is... I want to provide skiers and snowboarders with avalanche survival devices to put to their backpacks. In case of an avalanche a sensor built-in the device will trigger the system and a mask will pop out to fit a face. As soon as the avalanche hits a person, a small vacuum pump will suck snow into the canister, melt it, and split the water made from the melted snow into oxygen and hydrogen. The...

Why not provide our mobile phones with ECG machine capability of clinical-quality readings? Such a cell phone should have a pair of electrodes to send ECG readings via Bluetooth. The device could be held in the hands to take pulse readings, or could be placed on the user's chest. Of course, received ECG wouldn't be as comprehensive as a full electrocardiogram but it could be helpful while arrhythmia or other heart pattern issues monitoring.

I want to have an eco-friendly hybrid bicycle that can be converted into a scooter, thanks to its built-in electric motor and on-board lithium-ion battery. When pedaling such a bike, users will charge the battery. The bike will have a semi-automatic 8-speed transmission, which should help when trying to ride up steep slopes. Maybe all bicycles in the future will be hybrid vehicles like this.

I suggest coating keyholes with luminous material to find them easily in the dark. This would eliminate the need in torch or any external light source.
