    No more burned hands. Visually see that the Pots, Pans and Ladle are burning HOT or not. Temperature Changing Pots, Pans and Ladle.

    By: Ah...Jeffrey Kitchen
    0

    The Problem

    How would you know if the pot, pan or the ladle is burning hot or not without risking yourself from getting burned? You just can’t tell.

    The Solution

    When you start to cook, the pot on the stove is color black but when the temperature increases, the color slowly changes accordingly from black to burning red, visually warning you of how hot is your pot. Same is true with the ladle. Its color changes to burning red when it’s very hot, so you don’t need to second guess if you’re going to touch it or not.

    Product Comparison

    Key Features

    • Color changing pots, pans and ladles to indicate its temperature.
    • No more burned hands while cooking and you can visually see that the pot, pan and ladle is hot or not.

    The Problem

    taking picture using iphone makes our hands tired. there are some camera girp or cases for this purpose but they need special app

    The Solution

    since iOS upgraded, iphone can use a volume butten as camera shutter even remote volume butten in headsets. so i made a grip attachs to iphone and get remote volume controler into that grip this grip uses audio port so when iphone is connected to the grip, not taking the picture we loose iphone's speaker system (iphone recognizes the grip as a headset so iphone's built-in speaker dosent work) so, i made a slide switch that breaks internal circuit of the grip. now we can use the grip's butten only when i take pictures

    IMP connected Patio Umbrella with curtains ! Protect your patio furniture from the rain automatically !

    By: Think-Tank Wink
    0

    The Problem

    There is no way to protect your patio furniture from the rain. You either have to go out and cover your furniture in the rain or let your furniture get wet and hope it doesn't get ruined !

    The Device

    I am proposing an IMP connected patio umbrella with drop down curtains (optional) which sense the weather. When it rains, the umbrella can be opened using an app or it can be set to automatically open in the rain and have the curtains drop down ! This will protect your furniture and save you a lot of trouble ! It can also be used by restaurants etc. for regular use to open the patio umbrellas during sunny weather. Right now, that needs to be done manually by staff !

    Key Features

    • Monitor the weather

    • set the umbrella to open automatically at a give time (for restaurants)

    A line of Smart Glass appliances that interact with us and other smart enabled devices in the home and workplace.

    By: Steve Burns Wink
    0

    The Problem

    Smart Glass Technology would enable the viewing of the contents of the refrigerator without opening doors. The appliance would monitor and adjust temperature, power consumption. The device would inventory any items placed inside and keep track of expiration and use. Life Example. While finishing up in the kitchen before going out you just remembered that you need 36 cup cakes for your childs' school party Thursday. You instruct Glass to turn door view on. The white opaque door finish becomes transparent allowing full view of the refrigerator contents. Short on time, you instruct Glass to prepare you for 36 cupcakes, for a party at 1:00 pm Thursday and to bake them at 6:30 pm Wednesday. As you about to leave a call window pops up on the Glass, You instruct Glass to send the call to voice mail and reminder you in 30 minutes; then turn and leave the room. Glass sensing your departure closes the door view to opaque, pulls up the recipe, scans the fridge inventory, analyzes the difference and preps an electronic order along with other items needed on daily basis. Glass finds that you are unavailable 6:30 Wed, but your significant other is not. The schedule is filled and approval requests sent to all parties. Walking out the door you pick up your Smart Glass (phone). Your thumbprint identifies you, and Glass sends the order and schedule change to your phone for approval.

    The Device

    Traditional Appliance doors will be replaced with Smart Glass Interface panels. Smart Glass is Voice interactive and touch screen. Glass can turn from any opaque color or pattern, photo or video to transparent on command or touch. The device senses motion and proximity; it scans and stores item entry dates, expiration and quantities. Glass can display and cross reference recipes with Refrigerator contents, prepare orders, submit auto orders. Glass monitors temperature, power consumption, humidity levels etc, make cost effective changes and send notifications as required. Glass can display schedules, programs, photos, phone calls, web searches all in customizable display on the face of the appliance. Glass can be configured as Oven doors, microwave doors etc.

    The Problem

    The Problem

    Your at work and your power goes out at home. Solar Secure send you an app informing you. Before the app is even sent your solar powered battery backup for your sump pump has kicked in. The battery also provides power to your furnace or boiler to ignite the gas via a direct power line from the battery backup.

    The Device

    Solar Secure would provide power to a household sump pump via a solar panel. That would charge a battery to run the sump pump and start the furnace or boiler in case domestic power was lost. Most of your new furnaces and boilers do not have pilot lights but have electric ignitions. This would allow the user the security that something was being done to keep the house from flooding and or freezing. Solar Secure would be able to differentiate between which one needed the most power via a built-in computer to regulate use. This way the power from the batterie would be used most efficiently.
