| Complete Home Time Reset 
Develop a device which will broadcast the correct time to all electronic devices in the home after a power outage and at Daylight Savings time changes. The receiving devices would include VCR's, DVR's, ovens, TV's, alarm clocks, coffee makers, pool pumps, spas, setback thermostats, sprinkler systems, burgler alarm systems, phone answering machine, etc. The source of the correct time could be a cheap GPS time receiver or a sattelite TV receiver. The broadcast medium would be wireless or the electric power cables.Reward: Implementation of the idea.

| More efficient, humane work schedule
- 30 hour work week is standard. Jobs would offer both a 5AM to 11AM shift or a 1PM to 7PM shift. (Restaurants, bars would have different shifts.)
- Traffic on roads reduced as there are half the commuters on road at same time (except at lunch time).
- Families wouldn't need daycare. One worker in morning shift, other in evening.
- Go-getters, renaissance people can manage having two full-time jobs in completely different fields.
- Stores are open when you're not working.
- Greater worker efficiency, satisfaction (fewer hours, better work).
- Lunch can be enjoyed at home as family.
- Businesses are open for longer hours, making it easier to get things done, across multiple time zones.
- People can enjoy a good part of the daylight hours.
- Companies need less rental space for same job.Reward: My choice of shifts. A holiday called Bluecube Day.

| Smoke Keeper
Never having to smell someone's bad habit...Smoke from cigarettes or marihuana must be kept as a personal choice. Adults with children should not pass along their own addiction at home. My invention would be in two pieces... One small tube to fit the cigarettes to contain the ash and smoke. Second piece would be a wallet-size reversed vacuum with a mask to be placed in the mouth at the moment of blowing out the smoke. Keeping the smell away from others, from the car, the casino and more importantly home.
