Police may soon be able to use a new automated graffiti identification software to help them keep tabs on gang territory and drug deals. The system will be able to compare photos of graffiti to identify which gang, and sometimes even which individual, created it. Identification will be based up on constant key points in the design and will use crowdsourcing to help decipher unintelligible text. An accuracy rate is supposed to be about 65 percent and higher.

Old CD's can be put to a new use and turned into dumbbells, providing an incentive to workout while also reducing waste. The dumbbell kit will consist of a handle and two sets of dumbbell caps. The discs will slip onto a spool running through the center and attached to the handle, and the caps will close to keep them secure. Discs can be added up to a maximum weight of 5 pounds, including the 2.2 pound handle.

The idea is to develop a keyboard which keys will lay absolutely flat until activated. The keyboard is supposed to reduce the amount of errors usually made on virtual keyboards. The keys will lay flat during travel, and can be elevated by pressing a mechanical button. The actual mechanism that will raise the keys will be strong enough to support and raise the keys an even 2.2 mm.

Modern laptops are very powerful but unfortunately they cool down not very effective by their own cooling system and we use stands that helps them. I have nice idea to improve laptop stands that cools laptops with built-in coolerst.

The idea is to create a 'magic mirror' that will allow users to scan the internet through their bathroom mirror. The mirror will be able to read the signals of the person in front of it through its Kinect motion sensor. There will be two versions of the mirror- one that will give fashion information based on the outfit the user is wearing, and another one that will provide prescription information when the RFID tag on the medication bottle is scanned. The mirrors will also...

The handheld printer will use a combination of inkjets, optics, and software to print images onto any flat surface. The printer will use laser sensors to track the device's movement, measuring its location and speed. The software will interpret the sensors' data and use algorithms to determine which spurt of ink to send next as the user waves the printer over the material. This will allow the printer to print on any size material, even material larger than the printer itself.

Why not give a possibility to users to re-arrange the keyboard to suit their needs at the time? The user could change the color of the keys, placement of the keys, and even which keys are to be displayed on the keyboard, according to need. Different language layouts or optimization for left or right handed users could also be chosen.

The ring will be worn on the index finger, with the left and right click and touch control tracking arranged around the top of the ring and controlled by the thumb. Primarily intended for presentation controls, the new mouse will also be useful...
