Tornado can often strike at night when people are asleep and not tuned into the weather channel. As a result many of them are injured or killed. My solution is to create software that the National Weather Service can use to inform people about the tornado (in a single second). It will send text messages to all cell phones/landlines to people in areas most likely to be hit. This will be definitely a great warning system for those who are not tuned into TV, but are carrying phones.

My idea is to create sportswear with built in flexible electronics to monitor an athlete's biological indicators, like pH levels in sweat, heart rate, or blood pressure, generating data on metabolism or other factors and beaming it wirelessly to a trainer's laptop. The electronics could also simply count the steps to measure the distance traveled or the number of reps completed. Having such a sportswear will remove the need for some clunky external device to record or transmit...

The idea is to create a motorcycle helmet that can be removed without moving the patient's head. Such a helmet could help to reduce the risk of exacerbating spinal cord injuries. It will be possible to remove the helmet by releasing one pin and two clips, which will allow the front of the helmet to be slipped off. The helmet will be also put on by opening the back and tightening the side ladder clip, which will eliminate the need for a chin strap and provide a better fit.

Modern laptops are very powerful but unfortunately they cool down not very effective by their own cooling system and we use stands that helps them. I have nice idea to improve laptop stands that cools laptops with built-in coolerst.

The idea is to create a portable, handheld device able to screen for brain hematoma quickly, saving valuable diagnosis time. While the brain's absorption of light should be symmetrical, areas of the brain with extra blood alter the amount of light absorbed and reflected. The scanner will use near UV light to detect blood collections in the brain, and will be used to test different areas of the brain. The scanner is meant to be used as a quick screen, aiding in the decision as...

An inflatable plug designed to prevent terrorist attacks could be used to help keep tunnels and subways from flooding. The flood-stopping plugs will be made using some of the same materials and processes that are used to make space suits. The plug will consist of three layers, which will help it maintain pressure, and will have a circumference slightly larger than the tunnel entrance, which will ensure a tight seal. It can be inflated using either air or water.

If you are a person who travels a lot you know that it can be very tiresome to wait for the flight. Many flights depart with a delay; among charters the value of delays reaches 50%. If you wait for the flight in the check-in area you have to stand as there are no vacant seats there. Your legs and back begin to ache after standing for a long time. I can provide you with a solution to this problem. A suitcase with a folding seat of a Sitting Pretty series (Walkin'Bag trademark) are more...

If puncture happens and you don't have a rubber adhesive, bend a tire tube near the damaged area, bind tightly with a strong thread and then inflate the tire. With such an inner tube you can get home and perform a more thorough repairing. If the puncture is very big, take up the inner tube at all and fill in the tire with hay, grass, leaves, etc. With such a tire you can ride 25-30 miles. As you see, both of these advices are for the extreme cases.

Happy clients result in new clients. This axiom was literally used as a basis for a new advertising campaign by LEO BURNETT ad agency. Creative Italian advertisers put unusual billboards with real people on them all over Milan. The idea is as follows: ordinary people (potential customers) ask and happy (real) customers answer. There are no lure, intrigue or deception... just an honest dialogue. Creators of such an unusual interactive advertising campaign actually asked real...

Recently, watching a bank robbery movie I got an idea that I'm sure will be useful for improvement of all kind of safes either huge walk in banking safes or small personal safes. I would set the safe to open with two or more secret combinations where only one is the real combination which just opens the safe. Other combinations would open the safe too but along with that they would automatically trigger the alarm system. For small models we can integrate a simple wireless card which in...
