My idea is to create sportswear with built in flexible electronics to monitor an athlete's biological indicators, like pH levels in sweat, heart rate, or blood pressure, generating data on metabolism or other factors and beaming it wirelessly to a trainer's laptop. The electronics could also simply count the steps to measure the distance traveled or the number of reps completed. Having such a sportswear will remove the need for some clunky external device to record or transmit...

Online Mailing List Sales business. Business Overview Let customers go online to select the mailing lists they wish to purchase. Develop a Web site that is indexed into various 'mailing list' sections. These sections would be broken down into demographic and consumer buying habit headings such as 'people interested in purchasing a business opportunity' or 'people who regularly purchase videos by mail.' The possibilities are endless in terms of the sections featured on the site....

I suggest using a plastic metamaterial to build a cloak that makes objects invisible to sound waves. The cloaking device will be made of stacked sheets of plastic filled with holes that will be sized and arranged to redirect sound waves by either blocking them or absorbing them. The device will work for audible frequencies between one and four kilohertz, which is the same frequency as the higher two octaves on a piano.

The newly developed mChip can accurately diagnose HIV, costs only $1 to produce, and is the size of a credit card. The plastic mChip can accurately diagnose HIV with only a pinprick of blood. The chip takes advantage of microfluidics and eliminates the need for skilled technicians for analysis. The low cost combined with the size, speed, and accuracy could make the mChip extremely valuable for diagnosis in rural areas.

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.

The magnetic bike light will detach quickly and turn on automatically when attached to the frame. Designed to help prevent theft, the lights will be easily removable and pocket-sized, allowing them to be quickly detached and taken along when the bike is left unattended. They will fit an array of tube diameters, remaining securely in place and emitting a bright LED light from the sides as well as directly ahead. The lights can be placed anywhere on the frame, automatically...

If you are a person who travels a lot you know that it can be very tiresome to wait for the flight. Many flights depart with a delay; among charters the value of delays reaches 50%. If you wait for the flight in the check-in area you have to stand as there are no vacant seats there. Your legs and back begin to ache after standing for a long time. I can provide you with a solution to this problem. A suitcase with a folding seat of a Sitting Pretty series (Walkin'Bag trademark) are more...

If puncture happens and you don't have a rubber adhesive, bend a tire tube near the damaged area, bind tightly with a strong thread and then inflate the tire. With such an inner tube you can get home and perform a more thorough repairing. If the puncture is very big, take up the inner tube at all and fill in the tire with hay, grass, leaves, etc. With such a tire you can ride 25-30 miles. As you see, both of these advices are for the extreme cases.

Happy clients result in new clients. This axiom was literally used as a basis for a new advertising campaign by LEO BURNETT ad agency. Creative Italian advertisers put unusual billboards with real people on them all over Milan. The idea is as follows: ordinary people (potential customers) ask and happy (real) customers answer. There are no lure, intrigue or deception... just an honest dialogue. Creators of such an unusual interactive advertising campaign actually asked real...

Recently, watching a bank robbery movie I got an idea that I'm sure will be useful for improvement of all kind of safes either huge walk in banking safes or small personal safes. I would set the safe to open with two or more secret combinations where only one is the real combination which just opens the safe. Other combinations would open the safe too but along with that they would automatically trigger the alarm system. For small models we can integrate a simple wireless card which in...
