The mechanism is developed with an eye toward to increased emphasis on preventing the spread of disease, and is designed for use on standard glass syringes. It fits on top of the activated syringe's needle, where it functions as both a tamper-resistant shield and a safety shield to prevent unintentional needle sticks.

A micro needle method of delivering medication directly to the eye could offer a more efficient way to treat two of the world's leading eye diseases. Delivering medication directly to the eye is a powerful way to treat eye diseases, but many people are understandably reluctant to have a needle come close to their eyes. And while eye drops are an option, their delivery is less than ideal and patient compliance is spotty. The new drug delivery method will use micro needles that...

A park bench that will allow the user to rotate to a dry seat will make it a bit more pleasant to enjoy a seat after a rain shower. The bench, designed for cities with frequent but sporadic rain showers, will be equipped with long, narrow panels that fit together to form the bench's seat. A crank attached to the panels will allow them to be rotated to reveal a dry sitting surface on top while the wet panels are rotated to the bottom of the seat.

The e-ink card will let users carry all their card information on one device and choose between them via the card's touchscreen. The card will be equipped with the standard magnetic swipe strip, so it can be used at any location that already accepts today's cards. It can carry up to 20 cards, which can be chosen via the e-ink strip at the bottom of the card - allowing the user to scroll through the cards, lock the card with a PIN or even generate QR codes. The card will also come...

The world's first unstealable bike can be designed around the idea of building the lock into the bike, for example in the frame. The frame's lower tube can separate and open outward, forming a pair of arms that extend enough to be placed around a solid object like a pole or bike rack. The bike's seat (with the post attached) will then be removed and inserted through the open ends of the arms to form the lock. The integrated lock will act as a powerful theft-deterrent, since breaking...

A new thin-film drug-delivery technique could enable medications to be released directly into targeted locations in the body for up to 14 months--drastically altering the way we traditionally treat pain. The technique will make use of biodegradable, thin-films that have been loaded with drug molecules using a "layer-by-layer" method. This layer method will allow the drug to be released steadily and for a longer period of time than previous methods, and the amount of drug being...

According to research, each year one in three people 65 or older fall every year, and many of them do not fully recover. A protective belt will be a personal, waist-worn airbag that will expand to help protect the elderly from falls. It will be worn around the waist, where its integrated sensors will monitor the motion of the wearer's hips. If the system determines that the person is falling, the airbag will trigger and expand to cushion the fall before the person hits the ground.

The smart nicotine patch will inject a specific dose of nicotine on demand, helping to prevent cravings and making it easier to stop smoking. Instead of delivering a steady stream of nicotine like conventional nicotine patches, the smart patch will deliver doses that are synchronized with the user's cravings. The system will also be equipped with Bluetooth, which will allow it to send real-time data to smartphones regarding nicotine consumption while also providing a way to control...

The device will help reduce the danger of alcohol-infused socializing by sending an alert that will allow friends to step in if the wearer seems dangerously intoxicated. Research has long established that over-consumption of alcohol is the largest contributor to sexual assault on campuses. To help reduce those numbers, I suggest creating an inconspicuous wristband that will monitor the user for dehydration as well as any unusual movements, such as weaving or passing out. And since...

The system will include a wireless microphone, a charging case and the scoop which will fit inside the ear. Its settings will be controlled by a smartphone app, which will allow the user to choose quickly from a grid of sound settings or from "sound scenes," such as a busy restaurant or while driving. The...
