Everlasting Memories
I am pleased to present to you Everlasting Memories, as invented by Tony Pettry. Conceptually speaking, this invention is a line of headstones and grave markers featuring interactive video screens which display photographs, home movies and audio commentary of the departed. The Design intent is to provide a heartfelt means of recognizing the life and interests of a departed loved one, as well as a simple way in which to keep the memory and image of that person “alive”.
Recognizing the potential for a funerary product that would provide a more personalized means of celebrating the life of the ...
I-Vision
When people get a driver's license, many of them have the restriction on the back of the license saying that they need corrective lenses in order for them to drive, but most people including myself forget to always carry them with them at all times. So I was thinking, what if the driver side of the windshield had a transparent filament that would act as a lens that would be placed on the driver side windshield and would transform that part of the windshield into corrective "eye wear." I bet that it would most likely reduce the amount of ...
iPecs Tech
The College Park Industries iPecs® (Intelligent Prosthetic Endo-Skeletal Component System) is a medical research device which will provide researchers a tool to accurately measure human locomotion or gait parameters on users of lower limb prostheses. The iPecs measures forces and torsion-moments which can then be wirelessly transmitted in real time, to a PC interface. This wireless capability of the iPecs will, for the first time, allow environmentally unencumbered research to be conducted outside of the laboratory setting providing insight into what a prosthesis user experiences on a daily basis. This device is a measurement tool which will initially provide ...
Voice Activated Alarm System
The human voice has the ability to control or operate an alarm, a radio or a variety of other devices including toys. Keeping this in view an idea was conceived to develop a device that can understand the human voice and perform the desired operations. This device when developed can help the blind community a lot in performing their day to day activities with ease and comfort. With addition of Speech (voice response) functionality the same device can be used to understand few real time situations and act accordingly. This can also be adopted by the personnel who cannot ...
SSB Hearing Aid
The most common deafness manifests as a diminished ability of the ear to detect certain tones and to separate some tones from others. The difficult tones are usually in the higher pitches. Conventional hearing aids only address problems of loudness at critical frequencies and cannot shift the pitches of sounds to frequencies that the faulted ear can use. If the brain does not retrieve words at acceptable pitches often enough, it forgets how to decode those words.
Early radio researchers developed Continuous Wave Modulation and Amplitude Modulation. A third invention, the less known Single Sideband Modulation can shift audible frequencies ...
DC/DC transformer without inductive parts
DC/DC transformer without inductive parts, is new way to increase voltage of DC source and decrease electric current, or decrease voltage and increase electric current. Very small losses (current for logic support) for manage operating of this unit, provide very efficient transforming voltage/current, for more voltage requests.
DC/DC transformer without inductive parts, provide specially in case of reduction voltage more efficient reduction than integrated circuits (LM 317... 7812... 7805...etc) because not dissipation when reduce voltage.

Mithras CPV
The Mithras Concentrator is a lightweight, rapidly deployable 100W solar power device, utilizing concentrated photovoltaic technology. CPV introduces a low-cost option to solar power generation, using reflective surfaces and a Fresnel lens to consolidate sunlight from a large area into a tighter beam. This reduces the cost of the final product, decreasing the number of PV cells necessary to capture a given amount of light energy, while producing a consistent voltage output and making more efficient use of space.
Solar cell performance is inversely proportional to temperature, and falls off rapidly after a certain threshold (around 110 degrees C). Black ...
A Robot on the Moon
Because our aim is to win the Google Lunar X-Prize (GLXP) in the most commercial and sustainable manner, our design has many practical applications. We are developing an inexpensive yet durable robotic platform, whose resistance to the much harsher conditions of the moon will enable it to be used anywhere on Earth.
Similar to Mars Exploration Rovers, our swarm of eight to ten autonomous robots will land via airbags on the moon. Then, they will crawl and/or fly across the lunar surface for several hundred meters, capturing video with special JPEG2000 compression chips and searching for water with low-cost spectrometers. ...
E-Smart Device for Rural Education
Theme behind this:
There are nearly 900 million illiterates in the world today. Illiterate in the sense they don’t even know the basics of education -- for example, addition and subtraction which come under mathematical calculations. The present day world is completely challenging and this situation needs to be changed. There is a need for all those people to get literate and the main focus is on the present day generation because the effect is much more on them. So we have come up with an idea of making them literate to survive in this world. It's a ...
ClearCirKits Electronics Construction Set
Electronics technology is the basis of most products we manufacture and use today. Yet very few people understand the basics of electronic circuitry. It is essential that electronics technology be taught early in our schools to ensure that the next generation can understand how to use, maintain, build, and engineer, the products of today, and the future.
The ClearCirKits Electronics Construction Set was designed to enable teaching electronics to students of all ages from elementary through college level as well as industrial training and home environments, without exposing them to dangerous electrical components and difficult to handle parts and ...
Evolutive Software Design Paradigm (ESDP)
Evolutive Software Design Paradigm (ESDP) is a paradigm of software creation backed up by the Artificial Intelligence field. What is it about this idea? It is simple, software that is capable to learn with user's experience using it ("learn" as in enhancing functions by itself, or even create new ones). This software must count with an AI engine that lets the software to grow in a certain way the user wants. The software must be capable of analyzing the situation (the "needs") and should be capable of writing the code for providing the solution, without vendor's intervention. This makes ...

OpenPower: Open Source Home Electrical Solution
Power where you need it.
Our modern lifestyles constantly demand electricity. At the same time our electronic devices are becoming increasingly portable. The antiquated system of fixed power outlets limits our mobility, does not accept new technologies, and creates unsafe situations.
OpenPower changes this and delivers a flexible open-source power solution for the future.
Currently many electrical devices often crowd one outlet. In the proposed system, electrical outlets are available where needed. This flexibility reduces cluttered outlets and eliminates the need for secondary electrical systems, such as extension cords or power strips. Safety of the electrical system is increased ...
Portable Magnetic Strip Writer/Reader
This invention is a portable magnetic strip writer and reader. This device allows the user to "swipe" a magnetic card manually for both writing and reading magnetic information to or from a card with a magnet strip and a series of closely spaced printed optical bars. The optical strip may be printed in standard ink, UV ink, or even the magnetic material of the magnetic strip itself.
The optically encoded marks adjacent to the magnetic strip allows the writer to sense the position of the card for synchronization of the data to be written to the magnetic strip. By ...
USB TO USB Data Transfer
We use a pen drive to transfer data from one system to other system. My idea is if the data is in one USB and if we want to transfer it to another USB there is no need to transfer it to your personal computer. Instead the USB drive has an option of a slot on its other end to insert another pen drive to it. The pen drive which is charged through computer detects any USB connected to it. it reads the data and transfers the data to the USB by operating of the switch on button. The data is ...

Sodium Electrical Wire
Compared to copper, per unit weight, sodium has three times the conductivity, seven times the impulse tolerance, but half the cost. Sodium’s explosive chemical reactivity, low tensile strength, and low melting point have heretofore prevented widespread use. However, my patented designs overcome these problems to create practical sodium wire that is lighter, cheaper, cleaner and safer than copper.
Figure 1: Basic wire structure. A springy flattened microtube with joined layers of tempered beryllium copper and aluminum alloy chemically isolate sodium while increasing wire tensile strength to 1/3rd that of conductively equivalent copper. Insulation reinforcement adds more strength if needed. ...
Reconfigurable Network-on-Chip
We know that the main task of microelectronics is to decrease the computation time possibly reducing the power consumption of microchips. In fact to raise the clock speed is no more the right way to improve the performances.
As we see the current trend is the integration of more cores on a single chip (a few: 2, 4 or 6). But the problem of cooling down the modern microprocessors continues to exist because the larger is the number of cores connected together, the higher is the power dissipated by the interconnections and also the narrower is the bandwidth due ...
