The stylus creates line of varying width with transforming user applied pressure to sound transmission. The transparent tip of the stylus allows the user to see the screen beneath, and the tip is attached to a pressure sensor. Integrated electronics transform pressure on the sensor to sound, which is emitted through the stylus's speaker at a range humans cannot hear, but the device can register.

Why not create a trash bin which will consist of several disposable and recycled paper containers nested inside one another? This will eliminate the need for plastic can liners. Such a bin would be the ideal choice for disposing of paper products, since the contents and bag could all be recycled together. It would also be suitable for dry biodegradable materials, and could be used in compost bins.

I heard that it is possible to create a drug addiction vaccine to help users kick the habit. The vaccine will be a combination of cocaine like chemical and an inactive cold virus. It will bind to the cocaine in the bloodstream and prevent it from reaching the brain.

Did you hear about that great new alternative for disaster housing? They offer a prefabricated and flat-pack shelter that can be assembled quickly with just minimal tools or skill. The design is based on identical aluminum panels that can clip together with needing any tools. The design also features a narrow room with an arched roof covered in solar panels that collects and channels rainwater to a collection tank. The unit can be placed on uneven surfaces with the use of...

Have you ever dreamed of a car that can be controlled by mind power? I guess it is possible to realize the idea using some kind of a brain-machine gaming interface. The 'driver' will be required to wear a neuroheadset with EEG sensors that will send bioelectric signals to the system. On the road, the system will link the patterns with commands such as steering and acceleration, which will be sent to the car's drive-by-wire system.

The label popper will make is easy to quickly and completely remove the labels from steel cans, making it easier to recycle every part of the can. When the paper label is left on the can, it is burned away when the metal is melted down, wasting trees. The label popper's narrow, flexible extension will not be sharp, but will be able to slip underneath the label, slicing it and making it easier to remove. Each label popper will be manufactured using renewable energy, and include...

Contemporary light bulbs may soon be replaced with flexible sheets of glowing LEDS. The LED sheets will be produced by slicing a gallium nitride wafer to create millions of tiny LEDs. The LEDs will be mixed with binders and resins to form a sort of 'ink', which will be then deposited over a large surface using a standard screen printer. A layer of silver ink will provide electrical contact and a layer of phosphors will be used to change the color of the LED light. The LED...

The idea is to develop a new fire-resistant fabric made of renewable materials such as clay and lobster shells. The material will be made up of alternating fibers one-thousandth the width of a human hair, which will allow the polymer liquid to soak in and coat each individual strand. The coating will expand slightly when exposed to a flame, creating a protective bubble that will prevent the fabric from igniting. The coating will not affect the fabric's texture, color, or...

The idea is to create solar window shade that will harvest the sun during the day and use it to power its OLEDs at night. The shades will be made of a semi-translucent, flexible fabric that will allow the sunlight to gently seep in. The integrated solar cells will block the sun while harnessing its energy, which will power the leaf-shaped OLED's. A central cord will control the blind, allowing it to be opened, and the whole shade can be easily rolled up for storage.

The iTapemeasure adds yet another level of functionality to the iPhone, transforming it into a digital tape measure. The iTapemeasure is made up of an aluminum case with an integrated 4.9 foot tape measure that communicates with the phone to provide a digital readout. The 'Hold' button allows things longer than the tape to be measured, and the system will also overlay the measurement information on top of an iPhone photograph of the object.
