The multi-power solar auto vent is a very good invention. This device allows the car to vent while sitting in hot weather. If the you leave your pet in there for a small amount of time you can't leave the window down but so far because he/she may jump out. Everyone knows that even a cracked window will not help anyone to be able to breathe in very hot and
humid weather. When the car is left in the heat this device allows your car to be able to breathe while your away doing whatever.

Touchless Trashcan
The touchless trashcan is not your regular trash can.
This trashcan has a smart chip inside. Don't you hate touching trashcan
lids or having an open trashcan? Well this one has a smart chip that
senses movement within 6 inches of it. When it senses the movement it
automatically opens. Then after 3 seconds the lid closes. This
trashcan benefits in hospitals, nursing homes, and even in your homes.
Requirements: 4-D size batteries
and minimal cleaning

Advent of the Robotic Monkeys
The breakthrough of this technology is completely
astounding. To be able to operate a robotic limb off of brainwaves, which
could replace a missing arm is a god send. This could evolve into
replacement legs, hands, feet, even replacing all the missing limbs of a
quadriplegic. The training involved with this is very rigorous, but I
think the pay off is worth it.
The scientists were able to achieve this by mapping out the
brain. They found out which path neurons took when they were being fired
to move an arm. They were then able to tap into those paths and send
electronic signals along those paths in order to get the monkey to move the arm.
It is discoveries like this that could not be imagined 20 years ago, it just
amazes me.

Inventor Rejoices as TVs Go Dark
To operate multiple televisions with one remote has
been done before with the invention of a universal remote. These remotes
operate just about every kind of TV with the help of codes. These are
codes that the user has to enter in the remote before it can be used on a
particular TV. But a remote that already has the codes installed and only
has one function hasn't been done. That is where TV-B-Gone steps in.
This little remote, about the size of a key-fob for a car, is
the invention of Mitch Altman. Previous owner of 3ware, Mitch created the
TV-B-Gone to turn off televisions. That's what this remote does, turns off
TV's. The implications of this are endless. Just think about the fun
you could have goofing around with friends. Parents can also have a
perfect tool for their children to pay attention to them. And it could go
on and on.
Mitch concocted this little gizmo when out to lunch with some
friends. He realized that they were paying attention to a TV rather than
to themselves and their conversation. So out of a different conversation
with his friends the TV-B-Gone was born. It only has one button, that when
pressed, sends out a signal with about 209 different codes for TV's. Once
a certain code is reached, the most popular TVs first, the television just shuts
off. With the trail runs, Mitch noticed that most people in the States
just shrugged it off and went about on their way or with what they were doing.
Now this could lead to alot of trouble in some cases, like in a sports bar
around special and/or important events (we don't want to think about the
results), but some self restraint could be help.
My opinion on this is that when distractions, like
television, keep us from conversing with each other, we lose a part of
ourselves. This invention is not just a toy, it's an eye opener.
It's allowing us to regain some control in our lives without having to depend on
TV. It's also a great source of fun and innocent mayhem. We need
some of that to break up the day.
