The Gluten Stick



Jack Dikian
October 2012

Ref: JCD0003122017


We all know someone who can’t tolerate wheat, and wheat is found in more food stuffs than many of us appreciate. The only known effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet.

Coeliac or celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages from middle infancy onward. Symptoms include chronic diarrhoea, failure to thrive (in children), and fatigue, but these may be absent, and symptoms in other organ systems have been described.

Increasingly, diagnoses are being made in asymptomatic persons as a result of increased screening. The condition is thought to affect between 1 in 1,750 and 1 in 105 people in the United States.

The gluten-stick will change colour when it comes in contact with proteins (prolamins resistant to proteases and peptidases of the gut) in food responsible for the immune reaction in this disease. People unsure about foods they haven't prepared can use this stick (disposable strip) discretely anytime and anywhere.

In-line language headphones



Jack Dikian
June 2012

Ref: JCD0003122015

The idea here is a set of headphones with an in-line language translation module. Select a language headphone as you would select headphones based on price, style, brand, or quality of fidelity. Plug these headphones into any device you want to listen to – mp3 player, CD player, radio, TV, etc. 

The difference here is, of course, that the headphones will translate the media content into whatever language you have selected. So buy a German language set of headphones, plug it into a radio airing the News in English and your headphones will convert this to German.

Regenerative Baby Pram


Jack Dikian
January 2012

Ref: JCD0003122014

The idea here is that when this pram is being pushed on even-level ground or on grounds undulating downwards, the regenerative motor stores the kinetic energy. This energy can later be used when the pram is being pushed in situations where more physical energy is required – such as up a hill.

Manikin based store security


Jack Dikian
December 2010

Ref: JCD0003122010

Mannequins have been used for years as "silent salespeople" allowing store customers to envision themselves in the clothing and/or products displayed on the mannequins.

While display mannequins have been effective in increasing product sales offering a three-dimensional view of product and/or clothing.

This idea uses the standard CCTV security systems that are typically mounted in ceilings and walls providing store management to observe and record suspicious customer behaviour. This system brings those monitoring cameras closer to the store floor. The cameras are mounted as a part of the display mannequins and probably in the eye cavity area.

The benefits here include:

(1) The increase in the flexibility of observation points.

(2) The cameras are closer to the shop floor providing better security management.

(3) By simply relocating or redirecting the mannequins (as a part of a marketing campaign say) the store is able to shift CCTV points without expensive electrical and change to fixtures.

Train Platform Pedestrian Control Light


Jack Dikian
December 2010


Ref: JCD0002122010

The idea here is that when a train arrives and stops at a platform, lights near and under the automatic doors project a light (chosen colour) onto the platform. Commuters waiting to board the train are requested to stand behind the projected light - allowing passengers to alight the train with safety. Once the light goes out (perhaps controlled by the conductor) commuters can bored the train.

More than a single light colour may be used to manage passengers alighting or boarding a train. Other than a projected light, arrows or other instructions (words, symbols, etc) may be projected onto the floor of the platform based on local cultural conventions.

Medical Incubator - Urinalysis As You Pee


Jack Dikian
December 2010

Ref: JCD0001122010

The idea here is that if you are aware of, predisposed to, or at risk of a medical (and other drug related) condition that is diagnosable through a course urinalysis instrument – then depending on the condition that is target, a urine diagnostic agent is allowed to be immersed into the toilet tank system.

When an individual uses the toilet the colour of the water in the bowl would change thus providing and/or perform a urinalysis every time the toilet is used.

This is a course assessment and is not designed to replace the finer and more targeted urinalysis achieved by specific battery of assessments.

It is conceivable that as well as providing indication of a medical condition or status such as that of salt levels, glucose, etc…it may also be used to indicate pregnancy, use of illicit drugs, and other...

Specifics assessment for the following may be possible:

  • Urine specific gravity
  • Osmolality
  • Urobilinogen
  • Red blood cells
  • RBC Casts
  • White blood cells
  • Ph
  • Protein
  • Glucose
  • Ketone bodies
  • Bilirubin
  • Blood
  • Nitrite
  • Sodic
  • Potassium
  • Calcium
  • Phosphate
  • Cretinine
  • Catecholamines

Potential applications:

MEDICAL
INDUSTRIAL including detection for specific drugs, alcohol, and banned substances
SPORTING including detection for specific drugs, alcohol, and banned substances
HOSPITALITY including detection for specific drugs, alcohol, and banned substances
