SoapStandle is a patented, category-defining solution that addresses a deceptively simple but globally significant problem: the waste, mess, and inefficiency of using bar soap. Designed to elevate sustainability, functionality, and user experience, SoapStandle transforms the way consumers engage with bar soap, making it cleaner, longer-lasting, and far more appealing in the modern hygiene routine.
This entry presents an end-to-end AI-based system designed to autonomously categorize retail products and extract key information for supply chain optimization, quality control, and retail analytics. The solution utilizes a multi-modal deep learning pipeline combining image classification, optical character recognition (OCR), natural language processing (NLP),
We have developed a novel method, dubbed thermal processing & coating (TP&C), for manufacturing surface coatings that can replace the traditional hard chrome plating. The TP&C surface treatment allows one to combine exceptional mechanical properties obtained due to heat treatment with an enhanced tribological performance and corrosion resistance.
For materials processing, laser manufacturing and machining, medical applications, etc., it is important to shape intensity and phase profile of the laser beam. To maintain optimum processing of materials, e.g., in drilling, the beam profile should be dynamically changed as the crater depth grows. Existing methods of dynamic shaping, viz., using an array of mechanically moving mirrors,
Approximately, 45 children are killed and 1100 are hospitalized annually from furniture tip overs in the U.S. (CPSC).
The extended baseboard of the HinesLab Non-Tipping Dresser creates a freestanding dresser that can be rearranged like any other furniture without leaving holes in the walls.
The goal is keeping kids safe,
This system for lifting up dog poops is different from all the others, since once your pet has done its own, you don't have to bend down to pick up the poop. With this device you pick it up and at once you seal the bag with electricity, without knots or direct contact.
PET Bottle Filament Extruder is an innovative, sustainable solution designed to address the growing environmental issue of plastic waste, specifically focusing on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. With the increasing consumption of plastic and the inefficiency of large-scale recycling systems, especially in countries like India where over three million tons of PET waste are discarded annually,
Labeling is failing, not just aesthetically or functionally, but systemically. Across the most widely used plastics in the world, polyolefin thermoplastics like HDPE, PP, TPO, and TPV, traditional labels peel, fall off, or are never able to adhere at all. These materials make up 66% of the plastics used in industries producing long-life products: reusable packaging, automotive dunnage,
After more than 30 years, there are still only 10 deposit law states where consumers are incentivized to recover their 5 or 10 cent deposits on beverage and water bottles and containers.
Yet, the evidence after 30 years shows that in deposit states, 75-90% of deposit bottles are returned, just so consumers can recover their deposits,
