The Gluten Stick

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

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

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.
