Can’t Launch Your Invention During A Recession?
Jun 24th
“Few can believe that suffering, especially by others, is in vain. Anything that is disagreeable must surely have beneficial economic effects.” – John Kenneth Galbraith
You might think that during times of economic recession consumers are in no mood to experiment with, or purchase inventive products. Counter-intuitively, starting a business or launching an invention during a recession can be one of the smartest moves to make- depending of course, on if you take certain factors into account. Looking at past recessions and consumer psychology can give us ideas on the types of inventions that can succeed during an economic downturn. Let’s More >
5 Tips For Test Marketing Inventions
Jun 17th
There is no reason that test-marketing inventions should cost 1000s of dollars. A little effort and a lot of imagination and boldness and you can find out how valuable the market will see your invention. If the market places no value on your invention, then your invention idea should stay just that – an idea. Make sure that there is a market for your invention before you spend time and money getting a patent. There are 1000s of patents that will expire without generating a dime in revenue for the inventor. 5 tips for test marketing inventions are: 1. Go More >
The Latest Scientific Inventions and Research
Jun 16th
There is always something new happening in the world of science. In fact, there are so many new scientific discoveries and inventions, that it’s virtually impossible to stay abreast of all the new information. Here are a few really cool new inventions that are under development.
- New research, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), has demonstrated how flying beetles could one day be used surveillance purposes or for search-and-rescue and similar missions. Michel Maharbiz is trying to take advantage of the beetle’s natural abilities by melding insect and machine. The team has wirelessly controlled a giant flower beetle More >
Modernizing the Medical Laboratory Profession to Meet the 21st Century Challenges
Jun 13th
The field of medicine is one which is very crucial to humanity and must be devoid of egocentrism, monopoly and similar sentiments and dogmatism that at the long run will transpire into an inimical and detrimental outcome which will negatively impact on the primary beneficiary- the patient. The fundamental goal of any healthcare delivery system should be how to meet the challenges of providing the best possible healthcare services that is pragmatic, efficient, proficient, timely, and accurate, and at the same time less expensive.
Consequently revisiting the Medical laboratory science profession and trying to reposition, rejuvenate and restructure its current curriculum More >
Seeing is Believing: a Century to Remember For Medical Science
Jun 10th
It’s probably fair to say that medical science has advanced greatly. From the discovery of penicillin by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming in 1928, to the first human-to-human heart transplantation by South African cardiac surgeon Christiaan Barnard in 1967, the 20th century certainly saw some major medical breakthroughs. But whilst there can be no disputing the universal significance of Fleming and Barnard’s scientific advances, there have been a number of other notable medical visionaries that we have a lot to be thankful for, some of whom perhaps don’t receive the credit they deserve. With many technological inventions, it’s not always easy More >
Technological Advancements and New Cell Phone
Jun 10th
Technology is becoming more and more impressive with every passing day. The gadget which has been invented today is getting replaced by more improved technology tomorrow. And it is a continual phenomenon. Just imagine who would have thought a few decades ago that wireless communication would become a reality one day! And a few generations before that communication through phones were a mere dream. But now telephones are one of the most common modes of instant communication tools that are used by millions all across the world and the advent of the cell phones has taken this tool to a More >
The Advances Medical Equipment Required a New Type of Physician
Jun 8th
Medical technology is advancing faster today than it ever has before. Scientists and machine technicians are working hard daily to invent machines that not only work faster and more efficiently, but that are also more accurate. Medical machines do everything from taking x-rays and brain scans to analyzing blood samples. Many machines can provide more than one service, making them extremely useful in hospitals and clinics. There are so many machines today, however, that it is impossible for every physician to learn how to operate every piece of equipment and to know how to interpret the data the machine collects.

Automotive Engineers Safe Technology Innovation
Jun 8th
Recent innovations in automotive engineering have produced active safety systems ranging from side alert, often called blind spot warning, to adaptive cruise control, to collision detection and warning. What this means to the average consumer will change over time as these products become increasingly available. What this means to the automotive engineer is increased attention to safe technology. Many impressive innovations beyond the now customary car navigation system have existed – and even been on the market – for years now. Adaptive cruise control has been available since the early 19990s. Electronic stability control has been an option for many More >
