The idea is to create a biodegradable carpet, which can be shredded and turned into organic fertilizer rather than incinerated. The carpets will be made of organic wool held together by a biodegradable paste rather than the conventional latex backing. The new paste will also use 50 percent less energy in its application, requiring lower temperatures for less time than conventional methods.

I'm a soccer player. It is a real disaster for me to have a game on a sunny day as I hardly see anything and often lose the ball. My idea is to create sunglasses that are contacts so as I could look into the sun and see the ball.

Why not create 'air conditioned' clothing as a way to deal with the restrictions on electricity during the summer heat? It is possible to develop jackets and shirts, as well as cushions and mattresses, with built in fans. The jackets will include two electric fans powered by a lithium ion battery pack. The fans will draw the air in at up to 20 liters per second, circulating it through the jacket where it will dry off sweat and evacuate through the collar and cuffs.

I want my house to repel heat in summer and absorb heat in winter. My idea is to create paint (or vinyl siding) that becomes darker when it is cold and lighter when it is warm. With such paint I would accomplish my goal.

I want an audio file on my phone which will frighten off mosquitos within a radius of 3.5 feet. A human won't hear anything but mosquitos will. The sound will be similar to the buzz of mosquito male which mosquito female try to stay away from.

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.

The idea is to create artificial red blood cells capable of transporting oxygen. The blood cells will be made using human stem cells. They will be natural and manufactured safely in large numbers. The artificial blood could eliminate the need to transport and store blood supplies, and could lower the chances of the transmission of blood borne diseases.

The idea is to develop a new sensor integrated steering wheel able to provide a quick vital sign check for the driver and easy to integrate into mass produced vehicles. While there have been many new systems for monitoring stresses while driving, most of them are too complex for commercial use. The simpler steering wheel system will be able to monitor blood pressure and stress levels through reflected light and electric conductance. The driver will need only have his hands on the...

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.

Skiing and snowboarding are sports that I am fond of. Why not have googles that give you all kinds of statistics while you slide down the mountain? They will come with GPS and have a screen in the glasses. The display will tell you things like your contact information, external conditions, speed, altitude, distance, temperature and number of runs. You can even use them as a stopwatch and a clock to keep your progress.
