The iPhone app for VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol

Do you live in one of those dreaded dead zones?  Do you want to know how to get better service on your phone?  more specifically your iPhone? Are you sick of me asking you all these questions?

If any of those answers are yes, well I got an app that will get those iPhone developers typing away some computer code.  Dropped phone calls should be able to be prevented by using an app that allows the phone to be connected via cell phone tower or wireless internet and seamless switch between the two depending on which is giving a better signal, while in the middle of a phone call.

New Firefighting Equipment

When a fire breaks out sometimes all you have is mere minutes before your house is nothing but ashes, and by the time the fire department gets there all they can do to help requires them substituting their hoses for brooms. It is during the precious moments when you are waiting for the fire department to arrive that the automated water cannon comes in handy. The AWC is a remote controlled water cannon that pops up from underground when a fire is reported. It is remotely controlled by a firefighter that is off location. The source of the water comes from the underground water pipes that are already in place for fire hydrants. Once the fire is doused, or the fire fighters arrive on scene, the water cannon retracts back into the ground. This invention could save properties and lives by extending the time it takes for a house to burn to the ground.

Add the cell phone to the cloud computing network

This pretty much exists but it isn’t used quite as well as I would like it too. First of all, read my first post on the Computing Cloud to better understand my depiction of how cloud computing should work.

So phones are already connected in a giant network, and now they are all basically computers with more power than our home computers from  a few years ago.  So everything is ready, but we just aren’t actually using everything to its full capability and using our cellphones is how we optimize our technology.

The new detection system for forest fires - smoke alarm or thermometers?

In California alone, hundreds of thousands of acres are burned each year in devastating forest fire events.  These fires are due to lightning strikes, cigarettes, camp fires, and even some people that think its fun to just start a fire in a field of dead greass.  My point is, you can’t prevent it, just like smoking marijuana in America, it is going to happen no matter how much money you throw at it.  So the next step from prevention is reduction, how to reduce these forest fires?  How about some smoke detectors? … or thermometers?

How to Keep Deer Away

One of the scariest things when driving is when you find yourself staring at a deer in your headlights as you are flying down the highway. There are millions of deer related accidents in the US every year; we need to get the deer off our main highways. That is why we have come up with the high frequency emitter, here’s how it works: The HFE will let out a high pitched noise inauditable to the human ear that will irratate and startle deer away. Emitters would be possitioned every half a mile or so on each side of the highway, and pointed in the direction of the woods. This invention could also be used by anyone looking to keep hungry deer away from their home gardens.

Nothing can hide with a night vision windshield

No we can’t get rid of our car headlights because we need other drivers to be able to see our car, but we could add some night vision to our windshield.  But not only would it be night vision, I want to throw in a little infared in the mix as well so we could see anything that gives off a heat signature like incoming deer or those people that seem to think running at midnight is a good idea.  So it does add a little more safety to your car, but it gives you some style points as well.  Sure, Shaq might have a TV on every seat in his car with DirecTV and a PS3… but he doesn’t have a windshield with infared and night vision.

Cloud computing for the car

I have several ideas for cloud computing, so I will separate them into several different parts, this of course being part 1.

First of all, I will define cloud computing.  This is just how I define it and not necessarily the only definition for it, many people define it differently and it is one of those things that nobody can seem to agree with.  The computer cloud, or cloud computing, is basically a virtual world where all servers, computers, etc are all connected and are able to dynamically exchange data.  The immediate advantage to this would be the ability to keep all storage (i.e. hard drives) in a remote location, therefore decreasing the size of computers and such.  You could potentially store all your files, contacts, music, images, videos, calendars, and so forth on your home server and remotely access it from anywhere in the world.  Just recently, have we seen several instances of this dream beginning to come to life.

Smell your tv

Think about watching an advertisement for a new breakfast sandwich and being able to smell it, or listening to a beer being poured into a glass and smelling the aroma of the hops.  You can’t tell me that won’t get you going to the store and picking some up.  Not only could you create powerful advertisements, but think about brining this to movies, it would add an extra dimension to some good movies.  For example, a movie like “Saving Privat Ryan,” it would be cool if you could actually smell the gunpowder during the opening scene when the American troops invade the beaches of Normandy.  It would immerse the viewers in a whole new way, so they could feel like they are involved in the battle.

The toothpaste without taste.

I hate it when I have a sudden craving for a glass of orange juice, but can’t drink one because I had just finished brushing my teeth.  And if I do end up deciding to muscle through the pain and just drink it… I immediately regret it.  That is why I want a tasteless toothpaste so I can brush my teeth and then have a drink of juice afterward.  Finally, orange juice and toothpaste can coexist.
