    The Problem

    I'd like people to grow their own food again but I realize its not the easiest thing. We are in an age where consumers are becoming more aware of what they eat, how its produced, the chemicals used to produce it, and where it comes from. But you could answer all those questions if you could grow it yourself. Back when WW1 started we had 'Victory Gardens' which were amazing and flourished and I believe we are headed that way again due to food being so over-processed. But we need to give people tools to do this because its not an easily acquired profession or trade.

    The Device

    The device is a probe that plugs into your headphone jack because that is a universal plug on all phones. It should accurately measure pH, moisture, light intensity, temperature. Simply plug in the device, open the app and find the vegetable(s) you will be taking information on and automatically the information is recorded into the app once the device is planted. The information can then be recorded, tracked, and the app can give suggestions if any to better grow that particular plant. The app itself should use your location to help better judge when to plant outside(temperature zone), use of your camera to track your plants progress, an open journal for misc notes, and of course an entire vegetable/fruit database.

    The Problem

    Blending Bottles for mixing powders and liquids have always involved a sometimes messy shaking motion that takes space and does not always mix the solutions properly-

    The Solution

    I have made prototype that works with a non messy bellows pump-like action instead one of shaking- it can be done on tables and countertops in an up and down pumping motion until the mixture is completed - it mixes better and requires less arbitrary movement- More control and less mess- I see potential customers using this product for Sports and Protein Shakes- Baby formulas-salad dressings- cocktail shakers- It could be used in professional and Home Kitchens, Bars, and restaurants- It could be sold in health food and Vitamin stores as well as stores like Bed, Bath, and Beyond and any number of chain Gyms and Drug Stores- Wherever Blending and mixing is needed-

    Product Comparison

    • In my research I have not seen anything like this-
    • Competitors would be the makers of shaker like bottles I guess

    The Problem

    When doing an EKG the wires get all tangled. It takes the nurse more time to straighten and organize the lead wires than to do the EKG!

    The Device

    A lead wire comb attached and slides up and down will easily keep the wires straight and organized. Quicker service.

    The Problem

    The Samsung Galaxy S3, like most popular smartphones, it's speaker is located in the back of the phone. Definitely not the best location for a speaker. Your speaker's best sound is directed away from you by design. The small size of the speaker also limits its ability to give a higher quality sound.

    The Solution

    A functional case that enhances your Samsung Galaxy S3 speaker's sound, channels and delivers it to all four corners of the phone separately. The sound is naturally amplified internally. It has 4 separate sound delivery locations that adds a degree of liveness to your phones audio output. Great for watching video, movies or listening to music.

    The Problem

    With the smooth metal exterior of the ipad mini and its very lightweight design, the ipad mini tends to slip a lot in your hands. The biggest problem is that there is no good place to hold the ipad mini.

    The Solution

    My solution for this problem would be a case with four silicone hand grips on the back. Two where you would hold it in landscape and two in portrait. From there I would also like the case to fold out as a stand for both landscape and portrait as well.

    The Problem

    Currently diabetics have to inject themselves painfully, which is barbaric. Current research in nasal gel solves this but needs control of someone to administer it. Enter smartphone applications that can monitor the patient and the environment (temperature, humidity, etc.).

    The Device

    There has been published research on nasal gel administration of insulin in: http://phys.org/news/2012-11-insulin-loaded-nasal-gel-diabetics.html, - using a gel to allow for nasal absorption. - but to clean and administer through the nose has not changed in a 1000 years with a yeti pot and a finger ! Now enter a high tech approach using wireless control ! - There are Sinus Irrigation systems like http://www.sinupulse.com/ which I personally use often which irrigates and cleans the nasal passages. - So Step 1 is use the above, to cleanse everything. - Step 2: Fill the Nasal Pod the insulin gel, in the Nasal Pod Sinus Irrigation and Insulin Machine ! The Pod automatically primes itself and performs a series of safety checks to prepare for insulin delivery. - Step 3: Apply the Nasal Pod, by having the rubber-tipped, gelatin filled unit in the nose. Unlike an insulin pump with needles and tubing, you have the flexibility of breathing from your Pod as you like. - Step 4: Press Start on your iPhone ! With just a push of a button and no pain, the nasal gel is automatically delivered with the smartphone monitoring the patient.

    The Problem

    Most baseball style hats are made from the same material and we generally buy hats based on styles and designs on it. It could be our favorite sports team, movie, artist, character, branded logo. We don't have control of the material these hats are made from. I love my hats, but hate when they are ruined from sweat stains over time. The stains are hard to get out and frequent washing will ruin the hats over time too. Once it's ruined, good luck on finding another exactly like it.

    The Solution

    Create a thin adhesive band to attach to the inside of your baseball cap. The wicking material would whisk away moisture quickly while keeping your sweat from reaching your hat which normally causes sweat stains. The less you have to wash your hat the longer it will last. Plus, it will help with the evaporation process which will help cool us. The material used would be made of wicking material to save your hat from sweat stains and frequent washing. It would also keep us cooler by assisting our body's natural evaporation cooling process. This can fit the entire inside band of the hat since we don't just sweat in the front. The strips can be made a default size and cut for the perfect hat size for you, so it is universal. What this also means is that if you prefer to just adhere this to the inside front of your hat only you simply cut it to fit that area. It is can be customized to your needs and preferences. We could also offer a full size protection option to cover more of the interior of the hat for those that might want that. This product is great for repeat customers since they would be changing them out periodically depending on frequency of use. Also great for Sparring Gear Head Protection. The material these are made from is like a sponge plastic and sweat pours down your head and in your eyes. Attach it and never worry about sweat again or having to remember a sweat band.

    The Problem

    To prevent or repair frayed, damaged apple USB jacks, charging jacks, power cords, earphone jacks, wires and etc

    The Solution

    Sugru makes very good repairs to these items but they do not look as good when done because you are just molding it with your fingers. The solution would be to place on the Sugru and then squeeze the repair in a mold to make the shape perfect and perhaps add a "boot" to make it more protective than it was originally
