The tree bench is a portable bench, using a pair of canvas straps to transform a tree into a shady bench. The tree bench use industrial straps to attach to a tree and can be easily relocated. It can provide temporary seating or add excitement to a city park, moving from tree to tree and creating new views.

Surveys have shown that almost half of the respondents admit to flirting on flights, while one-third of them meet up after the flight has landed. The idea is to create an application that will help make flying more social, and less random, by allowing fliers to choose seatmates through Facebook. The application will allow users to link their Facebook profile to their check-in information, and then choose a seating partner based on their profile. Both passengers must choose to...

The idea is to create a film for food packaging that will change color to indicate if the food inside is spoiled. The film will change from yellow to blue in the presence of biogneic amines- the molecules that are produced when food spoils.

The idea is to develop a new portable device to help delay the onset of hypothermia due to blood loss. The device could be of particular use to soldiers in the field. The device will use a portable humidifier to pump moist warm air into the patient's lungs through an oxygen mask. The warm air will be transferred to the body through the blood, which will pick up the heat while circulating through lungs.

The idea is to develop a system that will allow pet owners a way to interact with their pets in real time by remotely controlling toys through the internet. The system will include a webcam, control box, and two devices that will be able to each move and swing a standard pet toy. Users will be able to log in and manipulate the toys from the on screen controls while watching their pet via the live webcam feed.

Why not create a device that will combine a pet poop scoop with an incinerator, effectively turning pet waste into sterile ash in seconds? The device will consist of a retractable handle and an integrated decomposition chamber that will contain replaceable cartridges of as yet undisclosed chemicals. The pet waste will mix with the chemicals to become odorless, sterile ashes in under a minute.

The creation of antibacterial paper has been attempted before, but this method seems to be the most effective. Why not create food packaging impregnated with silver nanoparticles? This will kill bacteria and help prevent food from spoiling.

The idea is to create little stickers that will be stuck to each grocery store item and will then dissolve into an organic soap. The sticker will dissolve with water into a natural soap that will help to wash away pesticides, wax, bacteria, and dirt. The labels will still display the same PLU codes and other information as their less soapy contemporaries.

Why not use breathable vitamins? They are able to be absorbed more quickly and resist degradation, delivering the active ingredients more efficiently. The vitamins could be ground into tiny particles and packed into an inhaler. The spray of vitamins will be directed upward, rather than down the throat, allowing the vitamins to be absorbed by the tissues lining the cheeks. This method will send the vitamins more directly to the bloodstream and allow for a more potent...
