Dual Mode dropout

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:17:48 -0700

A removable derailleur mount is designed so that it fills in most of the length of a horizontal dropout, leaving only a slot for a vertical dropout. A complementary attachment would go on the left dropout, but would not have a derailleur mount, simply a device that fills in most of the horizontal slot. Description from James Black: The drawing shows a removeable derailleur mount attached to the infill piece - one could accomplish the same thing, of course, with the derailleur eye permanently attached to the dropout, although this approach, per Steve's suggestion, seems like a more elegant solution. As I ponder what's in this sketch, it seems like it could be a quite effective solution, and fairly easy to accomplish on the fabrication side, certainly simpler and lighter than sliding dropouts or eccentric bottom brackets. I haven't thought much about how the removeable bit is fastened in place, but that would not be rocket science. James Black Los Angeles, CA

multiple booster seat

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:29:52 -0700

We are always worry about the safety of our children, that is why we give them booster seats when they are young. but if we have many kids, there is a problem, because there is only three seat belts in the rear seat in the vehicle. Mysuggest is to build a big booster for 3 kids in the place of the two seat belts, that there is today, and that way another adult/baby can sit in the third seat and our vehicle can have place for one more safe baby.

how about the tires on your car going flat when you park for the night. when the engine starts the tires fill and away you go..just a thought..

Brain transplant

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:23:38 -0700

This work by for an example. If there is a part of the brain that is missing, you can durectly have that part that is missing filled in by, find ing that part that is missing. Then go and not sew it but have this special type of glew that will be put on the part of the brain that is being put into the missing part, of the brain that is all ready in your head. Once the part of that one brain is in the empty part in the brain that was all ready in the person's head, wait for a while so the glew can make a tissue connection. After that proses the transplanted part will be connected to the brain. Now for the part that tells the brain to make a mentel connection to the transplanted area. You first some how then make the brain know that the transplanted part is there, so it can put what would mainly be in that location of the transplanted part.

Earth Sheild

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:31:34 -0600

The way this work is by, first having a Satellite , along with a invention that is all ready out there. It is called Trophy, it was developed by Isreal. The sheild though this time will stay on, and not turn on and off. This Satellite will have a computer in it also so, it can measure how far and how wide it needs to go, to cover the Earth. This idea will protect the Earth from threats like an Asteroid for an axample. Also the sheild will form around the satellite too, so no one will be able to, shoot the Satellite down. This sheild will have on it too, a on and off switch so, when you need to shut it off you can. This sheild I think will be a strong adversary to any space threat or at least most space threats.

Ozone Layer Fixer

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:26:17 -0600

The way this works is by, first going and getting the gasses that, make the Ozone Layer. Then eighter, see if the gasses can be made or are already, on Earth. If the gasses are already on Earth, we will then not need to make the gasses. We can directly tansfer the gasses up to space, where the Ozone Layer is, and at once patch the wholes in, with the same, type of gass that the Ozone Layer is made out of. Also just to be safe so, we won't run out of that type of gass if it is on Earth. We can try to copy the gass so there will be more of it, so when ever we need it, we will have, it.

Projector trapezoid corrector

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:18:32 -0600

Installing of LCD projector in conference halls etc usually requires subsequent trapezoid correction to obtain a square picture. This process can be automated by building a laser distance meter with adjustable measurement direction (or 4 single direction meters) into a projector. This distance meter(s) will measure distances to four angles of the picture projected on screen. Difference in distances can be recalculated into angles of picture trapezoid distortion in horizontal and vertical directions, and projectors' lens system can be adjusted to compensate this distortion.

Self-assemble legos

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:44:07 -0600

El sistema estar�a orientado a ni�os y adolescentes La idea consiste en crear un sistema a trav�s de un programa de computadora mediante el cual los usuarios puedan dise�ar objetos tridimensionales y estos puedan auto ensamblarse f�sicamente a trav�s de unas bolitas prefabricadas controladas por el software El sistema estar�a compuesto b�sicamente por 4 elementos: � Un piso electrificado � Esferas o bolitas � software � un sistema para enviar se�ales (radio frecuencias) de la computadora a las esferas 1. Piso- A-El piso estar�a electrificado con el fin de distribuir corriente para el funcionamiento de las esferas. B-poseer�a electroimanes distribuidos atrav�s del piso en los cuales se pueden pegar las esferas 2. Esferas- las esferas estar�an compuestas por: A-Electroimanes puntuales distribuidos equitativamente sobre la superficie esf�rica. Estos electroimanes se activar�an (controlados por el software) para �levantar verticalmente y/o pegarse a otras esferas o pegarse al piso� B-Un sistema dentro de la esfera para: � recibir y procesar las se�ales que env�a el computador � controlar la activaci�n de la corriente que va a cada electroim�n de la esfera. Las esferas se mover�n gracias a la activaci�n o desactivaci�n de los electroimanes. Para moverse verticalmente una esfera debe estar sujeta al piso y esta (haciendo uso de la activaci�n de los electroimanes laterales pegados a la superficie de la otra esfera) ira subiendo la otra activ�ndose 3. Software- El programa servir�a para A- dise�ar objetos seg�n la imaginaci�n de cada usuario. B-Controlar la posici�n de cada esfera y el funcionamiento de los electroimanes de cada esfera y los electroimanes del piso. 4. Un sistema para enviar se�ales del computador a las esferas- este se tendr�a que dise�arse para poderse adaptar a una computadora.

A camera that translate signs

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:51:42 -0600

The technology is already here. A camera (even a cellphone camera) can take picture of the traffic sign. then an OCR technology will convert the picture to text, then a simple translate utility will translate the post. the translation will be easier then translate a web page, and there are companies that translate web pages (e.g. google). Can you write the application ?
