The computer translates the light data into a heart rate reading.PowerPoint Presentation: Poh developed an algorithm that could pick out the heart rate’s light pattern Transform the computer’s webcam into a heart-rate monitor Software would allow to check the vital signs without attaching clips Measure vitals including Respiratory rate and Blood-oxygen saturationKymera Body Board: Kymera Body Board Inventor: Jason Woods A two-stroke gas engine drives a lightweight, high-volume jet pump, which expels water to create thrust and which diverts a small amount of water to cool the engine. The Kymera displaces less than an inch of water and travels up to 15 mph.PowerPoint Presentation: carbon-fiber body board powered by a engine Hybrid electric-propane four-stroke engine and reach 25 mph Engine would propel a rider at exhilarating speeds while displacing roughly half an inch of water.Zero Liquid Discharge: Zero Liquid Discharge Inventor : Namon Nassef Waste flows to an equalization tank, which breaks it into small pieces. The material next moves into the homogenizer, a container where it gets chopped into particles. The injector pump pressurizes the material and sprays it through a nozzle into the engine’s exhaust system, where the heat cleans it.PowerPoint Presentation: Uses exhaust heat from an engine to enable effective usage of fuel. The device uses engine heat to oxidize and evaporate waste. Effective waste disposal system Airlines, which could plug the ZLD into existing toilets, allowing some planes to shed up to 500 pounds of wastewater over flight.Antenatal Screening Kit: Antenatal Screening Kit Inventors: Sean Monagle, Maxim Budyansky, Sherri Hall, Matthew Means, Shishira Nagesh, Mary O’Grady, Peter Truskey and James Warin. (Students, Johns Hopkins University) To administer a test, the user draws a line and squeezes a drop of urine on it. Each marker will be color-coded for a different disease.PowerPoint Presentation: This pen that can identify 400 prenatal diseases early, accurately and far more cost-effectively than other methods. Chemical reagents mixed in the marker’s “ink” (a liquid solution containing a buffer) reacts with high levels of protein in the urine to identify the disease. A prenatal test that’s simple enough to be used and interpreted by anyone and costs only a third of a cent per use.Bed Bug Detective: Bed Bug Detective Inventor: Chris Goggin The air comes into contact with three sensors capable of detecting a bed bug’s unique aromatic signature, a combination of pheromones, CO2 and methane. Software monitors and adjusts the system, and a color display shows when the user is getting closer or farther from the source.PowerPoint Presentation: The device replicates the way dogs pick up scents, enabling it to sniff out bedbug pheromones During a typical inspection, an exterminator may spend up to an hour per room seeking bedbugs out. Goggin’s Bed Bug Detective does the same job in 15 minutes.Dynamic Eye Sunglasses: Dynamic Eye Sunglasses Inventor: Chris Mullin When the sensor detects glare, it alerts a microcontroller that commands the LCD lenses to display a glare-blocking black dot.PowerPoint Presentation: A small sensor on the nose bridge detects glare and alerts an adjacent microcontroller to its location which displays a four- or six-millimeter black square in front of the eye to block glare. The square moves with the wearer to block the source of glare at any angle but still allows the surroundings to remain visible. U.S. Air Force is initially focusing his work on creating eyewear for fighter pilots and soldiers.PrintBrush: PrintBrush Inventor : Alex Breton As the user slides the printbrush across a sheet of paper, optical sensors track the velocity and direction of the printer relative to the page. a controller matches the location coordinates to a pixel map of the document or image and runs algorithms to predict which pixel to print next.PowerPoint Presentation: PrintBrush, an 8.8-ounce handheld gadget that uses inkjets, computer-mouse-like optics and navigation software to print uploaded images and text on any flat surface, including paper, plastic, wood and even fabric . Color enabled printing, which required writing a set of algorithms to quickly formulate the ink combinations needed to produce the appearance of 16 million different shadesKstal Landing Pad: Kstal Landing Pad Inventors: Aaron Coret and Stephen Slen When a snowboarder hits the pad’s firm vinyl surface, the lower chamber releases a small amount of air through vents on the sides, ensuring a soft, upright landing without enveloping the riderPowerPoint Presentation: Pad uses blowers and vents to continuously add and release air. Valves release some air upon inflation, so when a rider jumped on it there was immediately “some cushioning movement Safer snow sportingThe BodyGuard: The BodyGuard Inventor : David Brown The breathable glove weighs less than three pounds and is encased by a hard shell that extends across the forearm. A pull pin preps the stunner (generated by four electrodes on the wrist), and a button at the palm activates it. Similar buttons trigger the laser pointer, video camera and flashlight.PowerPoint Presentation: The green laser pointer helps aim a high-definition video camera, which can be used as alibi for investigation The wrist mounted generates electricity. It looks and sounds painful when electricity sizzles between its electrodes, which may encourage an attacker to back off. Stunner can also be used to briefly incapacitate the attacker It can be upgraded to carry chemical sensors, an electronic translator to help soldiers communicate overseas, or biometric readers.The Stark Hand: The Stark Hand Inventor : Mark Stark The prosthetic hand attaches to a cable that runs from a shoulder harness worn by an amputee. A lever on the palm opens all five fingers at once, and separate cables in each finger and springs at each knuckle allow the fingers to close individually and bend around objects with a secure grip.PowerPoint Presentation: Enables handicapped(limb impaired) to hold object. The flexible finger design allows smooth handling of delicate object. The in-built sensors quantify the amount of pressure it should apply to hold the object firmly basing on its weight.
