The idea is to create a small easy to use sensor that can be dipped into a drink to determine if it has been spiked with the date rape drugs GHB and ketamine. The sensor will be able to detect the colorless and odorless drug by the way it will change the optical properties of the drink. A 'signal change' caused by how light will move through the drugged drink will trigger an alarm, which could be a beeping noise or flashing light for use in loud, dark environments.

An electronic tongue is able to differentiate between different types of sparkling wine based on the amount of sugar added during production. The device uses mathematical processing combined with chemical measurement systems and an artificial neural network to identify the characteristics of different types of wines. The Electronic Tongue could also be used to detect defects during the wine making process.

Why not create an 'intelligent bed' able to help prevent bedsores on bedridden patients by imitating the movements of a healthy person during sleep? The bed will keep track of the patient's movements as they sleep, monitoring whether they stay in one position too long. When the bed determines that the patient should change position, a special mattress made of 'smart materials' on a joint-less, flexible slatted frame will be able to gently move them, without the delay often caused...

Why not create an office desk which will allow users to burn calories while still working at their desk. The height of the desk will be easily adjustable, so it can be used standing, with a conventional chair, or with the trainer. A monitor on the elliptical machine will display information such as distance or calories burned, as well as providing the interface for electronically controlling the resistance of the pedals. The device will be designed to be operated at lower speeds,...

Why not create a solar handbag able to generate enough power to charge a mobile phone and still will look fashionable? The bag's outer layer will be made up of 100 small silicon solar cells that will be arranged in a decorative pattern. Conductive embroidery woven into the surface will deliver the harnessed solar energy to a lithium-ion battery within the purse. The solar cells will have an efficiency of 9% and will be able to generate two watts, even without much daily sunlight...

Why not create a painless hypodermic needle? The needle will have a jagged outer surface, much like the outer surface of the proboscis of the mosquito. The jagged surface will allow only a small amount of the surface to contact the nerves in the skin, creating a minimum amount of discomfort. Once the jagged sheath of the needle penetrates the skin, a smooth tube will move through the sheath, delivering drugs or taking blood.

Most notable of the objects is the storage...

The stains of organic origin are removed with stain removers, which include reducing agents (sodium hydrosulfite or its derivatives), oxidants (hydrogen peroxide), as well as various solvents and other substances. Their action is based on the fact that they convert coloring matter to the colorless one which is easily washed out. To remove stains from juice, berries, fruit, ink, wine from any fabric use powdered cleaners and pastes, indicating that the stain remover is used for...

Spring comes, the sun becomes brighter ... and many women face such a problem as pigmented spots and freckles. Doctors do not always advise to get rid of these harmless and sometimes even sweet spots. After all, freckles often do not spoil the face and not everyone should be upset. Those, who still do not want to put up with the freckles appearance, need to remember that GETTING RID OF FRECKLES IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN PREVENTING THEIR APPERANCE. Freckles are a common problem...

Uncomfortable shoes are one of the major causes of foot blisters, the big toe distortions and further deformation of other toes, ingrown nails, feet injuries, etc. Shoes with high heels are better to be put on only when it is required by the case. Walk more; do not stay in the same position for a long time. Put on comfortable slippers when you are at home, provide your feet with a rest. If your profession is such that you have to work in the standing position, after coming home lie...
