The self-sanitizing keyboard will use ultraviolet light to kill harmful micro-organisms in seconds. The keyboard will look and feel the same as a standard computer keyboard. To engage the cleaning cycle, the keyboard will protract into a light-tight enclosure which will bath it in the UV light. It can be retracted for use by the wave of hand over the motion sensor.

The lockable thumb drive will require the user to set its combination rings correctly in order to access the device. Constructed of a solid aluminum alloy, the drive combination lock will consist of five rings displaying every letter in the alphabet. The password will be set by the user and will be simple to change. The manufacturer will reset the device in the case of forgotten codes.

The idea is to develop a back panel reflector that will harnesses solar energy to power laptop screens. A mirror on the back panel pointed at the sun will be able to direct the sun's rays toward the screen to add natural light to the LED backlight.

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 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.

What if a mouse was invented that could take the shape of your hand? What I mean by that is, when purchasing your computer, you are asked to place your hand in some sort of gel that will take the shape of your hand. You will be asked to remove your hand, and as you do so, the gel will harden enough so that it doesn't change form, but not too much so that it doesn't feel satisfying to put your hand into. The professionals will then take this hand-shaped gel and wire it so that it functions...

My idea would be similar to a piggy bank connected to the PC via USB. The device can only be opened through PC software. The user can set up the software to determine when you can open the device containing the cash. This information is stored in the USB time bank. Once the set time is up, the user can connect the USB time bank to the PC. The software can now enable the user to open the USB time bank to get his cash.
