I want to create a device to prevent fires? It will be a small canister placed inside a wall and connected to an electrical outlet. This device will monitor the temperature of the outlet: in case it reaches 250 degrees (combustion occurs at 426 degrees), the canister will eject special foam that will cool the wires, displace oxygen and insulate the surrounding combustible materials. The foam spilt out of the outlet indicates that a fire has been prevented and that the outlet should...

I want to have a smart fence which can sense the difference between the rustling of leaves or a person skulking around the area. There will be a small low power device to be attached to a fence or other object or just be placed on the ground. It will use seismic sensors to distinguish between different types of movements. An alert will be sent wirelessly to the command center under certain conditions.

A new security system will take its cue from the way satellites process ground images, and will be able to scan and identify a fingerprint from almost 20 feet away. The scanner will use edge detection and image sharpening to increase the resolution of a distant fingerprint into an indefinable image. When coupled with additional security will measure such as facial recognition, the biometrics system could be strong enough to control access to a building or room. The use of...

A new password system based on eye motion could one day lead to a secure security system that can be accessed with only a look.

By recording eye motions, the system will be able to analyze two features: fixation--when the eyes linger on an aspect of the screen, and saccades--the quick movements of the eye as it shifts between points. This information will be compared to...

How about a lotion that blocks cold temperatures from hitting our skin? You rub on the lotion and it keeps you warm :). The lotion will be of great help for people living in very cold climates.
