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.

Why not create an application which will use camera equipped dashboard mounted mobile devices to let drivers know the best speed to maintain in order to avoid traffic lights? The application will collect traffic signal data as the car moves about and then will feed it back to a central system, which will allow a larger image of the traffic flow to be created. This information could then be used to tell the driver how quickly they are approaching the traffic signal as well as where...

The idea is to develop a device able to monitor environmental air in real time, detecting the presence of bacteria much faster than conventional methods. The system will use optical technology to detect the size and fluorescence of airborne particulates, determining whether the particle is inert or biological through the presence of intrinsic fluorescence. The analysis of single particles will provide a greater sensitivity of detection, and the device will able to monitor the...

The idea is to create a fingerprint scanner able to tell the difference between living and dead tissue, preventing the use of a severed digit being used to foil fingerprint scanning devices. Fingerprint scanner able to identify dead tissue The scanner will work by reading the difference in the amount of light absorbed by living tissue versus dead tissue. The amount of light absorbed by a living finger will vary, changing from 550 nanometers when it is first placed on the sensor...

The idea is to develop implantable medical devices powered by blood sugar and oxygen, eliminating the need for batteries and wires. The implantable glucose fuel cells are supposed to work on the basis of noble metal catalysts such as platinum, which is very stable and can be sterilized. Equipping systems with the fuel cells could enable them to be powered by a continuous electrochemical reaction between the glucose and the oxygen from the tissue fluid. Typical pacemaker...

Why not create a system that will allow the blind to "see" their surroundings through the use of sound. The system will use sunglasses with built-in micro video cameras, a computer, and a pair of headphones. The cameras will analyze the space in front of them and create a 3D model in which various surfaces will be assigned sounds to be played back through the headphones. Blind users will be able to decipher the sounds and "hear" the space around them, which their brains will turn...

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...

Why not develop a new lithium-ion battery able to store more energy than its predecessors without overheating? The battery will use a graphite current collector and imide salt in the electrolyte of the battery, which will increase the life of the battery as well as allowing it to withstand high temperatures. The battery will have an energy density of 225 watt hours per kilogram; 50 percent higher than the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles.

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...

Most endoscopes are costly and need to be sanitized after every use. My idea is to create a new endoscope which will consist of a complete video camera of only one cubic millimeter in size. The small size as well as cost effective technique could be achieved by adding contacts to one side of the camera's sensor wafer and then joining it face to face with the lens wafer. This will allow the tiny cameras to be cut out of the joined wafers, and also to be more self-contained. BTW,...
