  1. U need new CD scanner! on Libraries Asked To Destroy Reports, Databases · · Score: 1

    Syracuse University needs new compact disc reader. If the disc gets broken then how are Syracuse University associates able to prove that the compact disc has any data from the report.

    This could create new business for new types of compact disc reader. The broken compact disc can not spin so the new reader has to be able to scan the compact disc piece. If there are multiple pieces then the compact disk reader program has to sort the pieces in order to complete data tracks.

  3. My business has to expand in new dimensions. on New "Power Glove" for the PC · · Score: 1

    Scanned over the reply topics and did not see my anything related to my idea.

    With the research and development of alternative energy there is growth in applications of the energy.

    Previous versions of the "Power Glove" have first started with long wire resistors (or flat potentometers) that detect the amount of bend in the wire to determine the angle of the fingers. There has been an added amount of sensors to the glove to retrieve fine angle values. Too many sensors have made the glove uncomfortable or unnatural to wear. Also included in the glove have been sensors to detect touch and twist motions.

    One application for the disabled has been to detect heat. There have been individuals known that lack common nervous reaction to fire. The worn glove detects the heat and add an extra signal to the person.

    Alternative energy has an application of sensory of touch, angle of hand, and angle of finger to retrieve, motion, and temperature. Hydrogen fuel cells have presented technology to create energy on pressure or change of temperature. Miniturization of the fuel cell technology into small pressure sensor is in plans of development.

    Sincerely,
