Memory Writing Pen
A pen that remembers the writing through recording the ball rolling and lift position distances will be a good product to integrate with computer image processing and optical character recognition. The information will be recorded into memory inside the pen using a line compression algorithm. Lines are described in distance. The interface will be natural for many and allow comfort for writers, artists and note takers. The quality of the ink should be high. The size of the ball should vary based upon accessory purchase. Refilling the stems would be appropriate because of the necessary integration of electronics and sensors around the ball and head of the ink stem.
Fully Configurable Industrial Stamp Machine
A machine that supports color ink and matrix pin impression for stamping items of letterhead or envelopes will allow many office secretaries to overcome physical limitations, time obstacles and produce very professional results for thousands of stamp jobs easily. The item will allow configuration of several stamp images from a computer, wireless or USB connection. The software will allow the user to configure the impression state and strength of each pin by accommodating the exercise with text type setting and picture placement. The image will be loaded into the device and selectable by LED menu. The device’s undercarriage allows paper and envelopes to be slid under. Stamping takes place at the press of a button.
The Ultimate Alarm Clock
Alarm clocks of modern day, the typical ones, do not allow connection to a computer. The interface and extensibility of graphical user interfaces combined with wireless network technologies will redefine operational characteristics of the wake up. Being able to synchronize a start softly mp3 classical music before the morning talk show will beautify the wake up experience for many people. As well, being able to configure different times for each day of the week will be possible. Integration with the computer calendar and schedule would be appropriate provided the user desires it. With a clock like this, several characteristics would apply that make it top quality. Including high definition speakers and good projection of letters and numerals will entice many to conform for purchase.
Smoke Sculpture Machine
An interesting facet of three dimensional printing technology is its capability of representing solid objects at whim. Using modeling software, designers unfold their imaginations. However, the technology is expensive. I propose to create a new machine that portrays digital content using colored gas. Initially sealed in a controlled environment, the image will be made using a specialized robotics and mechanical engineering. The main arm has a gas nozzle on it that allows colored air to escape at a controlled rate. It might be appropriate to have several nozzles that revolve around a conceptual ring to keep the image volume free from interference. The gas used might be heavy, compared to helium or other gases that are lighter than earth�s atmosphere. Yet using too heavy of a gas will be effected by gravity. The gas sculpture must stay in place and react well to uniform pushes. This is so that when the image is complete, it can be released from the box and made to float upwards. The item will make a nice conversation piece in the trunk of any car. Sculptures are made at traffic lights, and rise when green.
Desktop Web Canvas Publishing
The artist of tomorrow will display their works on the web. Currently the tools for creating great looking web pages are inadequate for many advanced visual renderings. As well they lack the 3D ray tracing and animation tools. I propose that a tool geared for the artist's workflow be created that enables the entire web page to be used as though it were a canvas. Currently the only web browser is Internet Explorer and the add on Shockwave player. When will you deliver.

Music Application Framework
Application frameworks have been around for years, at least the concept of them. Yet technology oriented industries that are new to the development field, rarely think of platforms that are as extensible as they need. An application framework is a model that allows many developers and components to be combined together under one roof. The Music industry could be greatly benefited by using such models. An example model of a common application framework is the Microsoft Management console. By establishing architecture such as this, the future will be open ended allowing for advancements to be available to all. It can also provide common user interface features will that simplify the production of music and ease the usage of the tools themselves.

Games and revenue
The game market is a strong source of revenue for many companies. It makes great sense to deliver a development platform for the system that enables and facilitates the ease of game creation. This includes graphics, sounds, music, 3d models, and game engines. While 3d Basic may be good for some, it is true that some developers require that C++, or ASM be used for other needs. So this should also be taken into account when generating the development package.
A great idea was developed called Dark Basic. The Game Creators, a United Kingdom based company, produces a compiler and set of tools that allow youths and non advanced programmers to create flexible and robust interactive games. I think that the Basic Language used should be modified to be Object Oriented. Object Oriented in a way that is compatible skill wise with the rest of the industry. As well, if the platform could be updated to produce executables for the XBOX, and other game stations, it would be a fine product. I propose an investment of Microsoft resources would be ideal. Thus allowing the use of the
robust .NET pluggable IDE, internationalization and documentation experts. Perhaps a working relationship would be beneficial.

Music Rendering
The real-time production of audio has recently become available on client machines with the advancement of the microprocessor's speed. However, the quality of the sound still do not match the professional rendering capabilities of modern keyboard synthesizers such as Korg or Roland. It is apparent that many facets of music production should offloaded to a remote server to facilitate parallel processing within a network capacity. I propose that by modifying the synthesis electronics portion of the keyboard to be an effective network resource, near real time audio rendering can occur over the internet. The output stream should be compressed and mixed real time into the playing DMA sound channel. Using a low quality synthesis render of the instrument will likely be acceptable until the wave form is rendered. All of these technologies will be extremely beneficial in loop based music production.

Natural Language Processing and Statistical Polling
A system that uses natural language processing to gather an opinion from a group of documents sent by a mass audience will be the next form of governmental input. Perhaps it will be the most influential modification of a governmental system since the constitution was signed. I project that the effects of such a free flowing informational system will be the reduction of global conflicts, effective control over budget governmental expenditures, and happier citizens.

Public Telephone Wireless ADSL
Each telephone in a given city should be modified to be a wireless transmitter and receiver, especially around areas where public sitting areas exist. If multiple public access networks are found by the connecting client computer, load balancing and signal strength comparisons should be performed to ensure selection of the appropriate connecting host. Perhaps as a way to pay for these, web commercials could be part of the program. As well, by providing a kiosk with slips of paper for sign-on passwords would as well be beneficial.
Smart Bicycle Helmet
Imagine a helmet that announces the direction of the route. Now you will be able to spend more time and energy on riding rather than where you are going. To accomplish this a small GPS system will be installed inside the helmet that tracks you location. When you arrive at a point when you need to make a turn, left or right, the system will announce it using text to speech or recorded sample voice. The route information is loaded from a computer system or laptop using an USB interface. The computer software could use information from Google map for example to facilitate planning routes that are appropriate for bikes. As well, multiple routes can be stored in the helmet to account for return trips or alternate locations. Moms and Dads will now be able to track their child on an internet website which can add a bit more safety.
Spy Bikes
A bicycle should be build that has a hidden camera onboard. By transmitting the capture image stream to a centralized server, facial recognition can be performed effectively. Bicycles are a great tool for the spy as they are a socially acceptable mode of transportation that can go where patrol cars cannot. As well, the identity and class of person required can vary greatly as operation of the system is automatic. It is simply a wheeled camera performing inspection.
