  • Sustainable housing policy [P0010]

    Wealthy communities are realizing that their public service professionals (e.g. teachers, police, firefighters) are being priced out of the housing market. This clearly creates some safety concerns for emergencies when police and firefighters have to be called in. It also means increased smog and congestion on the highways when public employees (and others) have to make a long commute into an area they can't afford to live in. How can such communities look to their own best interests by housing their workers?

  • Less use of hi-beam headlamps [P0040]

    Headlights, especially the new high-intensity-discharge lamps, are temporarily blinding to many drivers. On-coming and following cars both can contribute to the problem. Driver attention and courtesy are clearly not sufficient. How can we reduce the driver blinding effects of excessive use of high-beams ?

  • What to do in an emergency [P0073]

    What to do in an emergency:

    You are in your car and stuck already for at least 15 minutes in a traffic jam. And of course this is the moment that ‘nature calls’, but where do you go? More specifically for men there might still be some sort of a solution by running out of their car and finding the nearest tree to hind behind, but what do you do if you are a woman? Sorry, it might sound a mundane problem, but personally I have never been more embarrassed than when I have to find a way to deal with this. Surely enough there must be a possibility in which we can do what we need to do while staying inside the car. Equally, this solution/tool could quite possibly help in situation where you are out shopping – especially if case you are with small children – and none of the shops have public facilities.

  • The money game [P0122]

    You have 3 nickels - 3 dimes - 3 quaters - take 1 away and what do you have left.

  • Tatoo Concealor [P0127]

    I have a tatoo just under my neck. But my Dad would be really hurt if he gets to know of it, so I always wear a close necked Tshirt whenever I meet him. But I would love to get another one on my arm, rather many more. Covering with chlothes is one option but is there any other way I can conceal the tatoo.

    Thanks.

  • Perfect Balanced Stereo [P0046]

    How about in order to balance a stereo system you just hold up your remote control in any part of the room or house. Hit a button on the remote control and the stereo sends out a high pitch sound above your ability to hear it, first for the right channel then the left. The remote control pick up the sound and adjust the volumn to balance both channels by sending a message to increase or decrease the sound by infraed.
