• Project Name: RoboticMemX

The device would read and record an individuals memories and thought patterns by reading electrical brain impulses gathered by scanning memory regions of the brain.

• Would aid in the study of Alzheimer's• Aid in the study of Schizophrenia• Aid in the study of Learning Patterns• Aid in the interrogation of criminals such as

terrorist, and serial killers

Using a Robotic Endoscope, a laser would read memory regions of the brain by taking an Intraoperative scan of the brain. This would go well beyond current brain mapping technology by actually recording memories and thought patterns. The information would then be beamed by wireless communication to a database. A doctor specializing in Neurology and Psychology would analyze and interpret memories and thought patterns to aid in treating the patient. Information relating to terrorist would be sent to the FBI.

Wallace/Zihlmann

Here’s how it works: instead of carrying a heavy load of chemical fuel, a spacecraft will be propelled by a laser beam from a ground power station. Underneath the vessel will be a laser reflector and nozzle. The reflector focuses the laser beam to superheat the air to 54,000¼F, raising the air pressure underneath the craft and pushing it upward into the atmosphere.

Dan WallaceBrad Zihlmann

There are many advantages to keeping the propulsion power source on the ground. You have completely different rules in designing the power plant. As the power source does not have to be on the spacecraft itself, it has no size or weight restrictions. Instead, a ground-based energy source can be designed for maximum reliability and power.

• Cheaper

• New Propulsion Source

• Orbit in 5 years

Computers Winning

• In the 1950s, people laughed at the idea that a computer could beat the best chess players in the world.

• In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov the then World Champ.

Robotic Sports

• Now, we are predicting that during this century robotic sports players will be created and will able to defeat an all human team.

• In addition, these robots will be programmable to match legend sports players against each other.

• i.e. 1927 Yankees vs the 1999 Yankees team

The Bionic Eye

The Bionic EyeWith the introduction of

nanotechnology we have proposed the design of an artificial lens that would replace the natural lens in the human eye.

• The benefits of the new lens would be: The ability for the lens to adjust itself, much like an auto-focus camera, to ensure perfect 20/20 vision during the entire life of the person.

The Bionic Eye (cont.)Another added benefit:• Use the lens as a heads-

up display that could receive transmissions from other devices and display that information.

• Can also send information that the user sees to a receiving device. Another benefit is that all

information would only be visible to the user.

The Bionic Eye (cont.)

• The artificial lens would also prevent other common eye disorders that occur during the aging process:– Cataracts– Astigmatism– Other disorders that concern the lens

The Future of

Painless Wisdom Tooth Removal

WISDOM TEETH• Why are they removed?

• Gum Infection -• Pressure Pain -• Cyst Formation -• Decay -• Impaction -

Wisdom Tooth Removal System

• Painless & Effective way to remove your wisdom teeth

• How?• A laser will be applied

directly to the area slowly weakening the blood vessels and nerves in the area.

Wisdom Tooth Removal System

• THE RESULTS:

• Teeth are literally slipped out of position,

• Bleeding and infection are reduced to a minimum due to laser,

• Inflammation closes open gaps & natural healing occurs.

Future DeviceBioConverter

BioConverter

• Bioconverter is a device that captures living object then convert to light, wave molecule respectively. It then send that wave, using extremely high radio frequency, to a destination BioConverter. The destination device converts the compound back to its original state, living object.

BioConverter

• After capture the living object, BioConverter separates material and knowledge into two separate storages to preserve the compound and to ensure the reliable transmission. If the wave frequency match the receiver frequency, the destination BioConverter capture the signal and converts the compound back to its original state.

Travel with a speed of light

• With BioConverter, Time and distance are not objects anymore. People can travel safe with a speed of light. The device is still improved to reach its 100% safety and reliability.

Wireless Pet Locator

Reclaim your lost or stolen pet.

•Have your pet injected with a substance that can be detected with a compatible handheld device. Once injected the substance solidifies and becomes a processor.

•If your injected pet is lost or stolen, this wireless handheld device can detect the exact location of the pet.

•This location will then be displayed through a detailed street map. The pet can be located within a radius of 150 miles or less.
