This is how these shoes would work:
- The sole is composed of nanite that perform a reading of the terrain.
- After doing a reading of the terrain, the nanite transcend the characteristics of the land inside the shoe.
Result: the person perceives the characteristics of the land inside the shoe.

One of the major causes of cold in winter is simply that sunlight falls at a shallower angle than during summer, resulting in less heating per unit area than during summer. The other cause is, of course, cold air masses. While these are caused by the sunlight angle, they also explain why a bright sunny day can be freezing cold. This unit allows sunlight to be focused directly on any required point. Each unit consists

LITTER WASHING WASTE LINE DISPOSAL ANIMAL TOILET
My entry is an animal toilet, meant for cats or any animal. The device cleans a granular litter by agitation and “reverse flushing” of this litter with water, floating its contained waste upwards, out of the device into the household waste drain. This process is modeled after the ancient method of reverse flushing a sand filter, developed thousands of years ago. The litter can be anything that the animals

Have you ever been working or exercising and had to take out your head phones to listen to someone talk? This concept of isolationism is pretty much the feeling that goes with listening to your iPod with headphones. Earphones cut a person off from the rest of the environment they are in. These earphones correct this social problem.
Many pairs of headphones are designed with noise reduction technology, as the main selling point. Why can’t this

When most people think of mountain biking, they only think of the way down, not the effort it takes to get the bike and the rider up. In some places there are no roads to use and no vehicles can get where riders want to go. On most downhill mountain bikes, the amount of suspension travel, weight and power output needed, limits what grades can be pedaled up. Bikers need something that can allow

Our goal is simple: to reinvent the portable beverage cooler as we know it.
A majority of cooler designs as they exist today are formed from low-grade polymers, using production processes decades old; often times resulting in simple shapes and self-inflicted design limitations while providing lack-luster performance. Our hope is to tap this potential for change, by integrating new technologies to provide upgrades in product uses, production efficiency and most importantly an overall better
