| Road warmer on snow storms 
When new paviment is put on roads, it should have a thin sourface of iron-net connected to an eolic battery which would warm the road up to 30 ºC . One kind of thermo effects which will absorb and store the wheels' heat once the cars cross at regular speed. This thin iron-net will work as a domestic home heater.Reward: dedicated to the prevention of accidents in winter

| The Power Pourer 2000
Don't you hate it when you've just come home and you go to pour a glass of milk, and its all the way full? So before you know it, the milk missed the glass and you have another mess to clean up. With this handy invention, you don't even have to use your hands to pour. You simply put the gallon carton in the basket and use the lever to pull down the basket. Its impossible to spill!Reward: No more sticky stuff to clean up!

| New Automotive Reflector
The invention is composed of two parts:1. The first part is a modulated retro-reflector structure where current or charge is used to modulate say, a MEMS retro-reflector structure. These devices are known in the literature having being proposed solely for optical communications where they need to operate at very high frequencies. See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulating_retro-reflector2. The second part is a device that drives the modulating feature of the modulating retro-reflector. Typically this will be a MEMS structure that requires current or power modulated by a semiconductor device built into the structure or in a separate board. The power source can be either:a. a low power long-life battery and a photodiode that is used to detect (1) nightime/dark conditions and (2) incoming incident light, such that the modulating feature is only used when necessary to conserve power, or, b. more advantageously a built in photovoltaic solar cell that uses some of the incident light to drive the MEMS switching structure to enable modulation. This device can also include a rechargeable battery to store power during daylight periods.This invention is made by a number of means:1. The Modulating MEMS structure is made in a typical MEMS fab
2. The control electronics are made in various semico fabs and them fabricated into printed circuit boards - as per typical electronic devices
3. The whole lighting device is then packaged in a plastic housing, typically in Chine where this is done manuallyThe invention is used very simply where it replaces current static light reflectors.
