They've got the inventions, a short description, prices/costs, and a link to the websites. On the list is the Abiocor Artificial Heart, Millennium Bridge, EZ-Rocket, a very sweet light weight fuel-cell bike with good mileage and a whole bunch of other very high tech toys, gadgets, vehicles, robots, and medical technology. A good read and very interesting."

It was reported here on slashdot, but I can't find the story to link.

I remember a lot of talk about hovering scooters and such. Your question reminded me. A quick search on google provided this link to the Project Ginger homepage.

Seems it's not a flying scooter, but a robot chair that can climb stairs, although the website's still not exactly clear what it's for, I'd guess it's for the disabled.
