We have created a cost-effective water treatment process which combines open and closed algal growth systems. Our cost-effectiveness gives us the ability to supply treated water at the price currently paid for the water intake by our customers.

DocUp clients can access all of their backed up files from any computer connected to the internet. Therefore, if a student forgets a file for a presentation, he or she can access it anywhere on campus. Similarly, if the student wants to work on it and save it, he or she can upload it and it will be available to them when they return to their personal computer. 3. Versioning and other features ensure the client will not suffer decreases in grades, or a business will not lose vital records, in the event of a computer failure or act of god. DocUp will become the new standard.
EasyPlug The EasyPlug is a patentable, innovative, magnetic adapter for electrical plugs and sockets. The adapter mitigates the tripping hazard presented by the power cord of an electric device by detaching when the cord experiences an abnormal force. This solves two problems: the device attached to the cord does not fall to the ground, and the person contacting the cord does not trip and fall. There are two large growing markets that show a need for EasyPlug: laptop owners and seniors. Laptop owners benefit because EasyPlug prevents their laptop from falling to the ground and incurring damage that requires expensive repairs. Seniors also benefit because they are no longer at risk of serious injuries due to trips over improperly placed power cords. EasyPlug’s competitive advantage will initially stem from the fact that there is no equivalent product on the market. To ensure long term growth and a continued competitive edge, we will focus on strongly branding EasyPlug, and associating EasyPlug with safety and convenience.

Fadow At Fadow, we recognize that it is increasingly difficult to deliver digital media to player devices. Consumers demand increasingly high-definition content, and at the same time demand to receive that content on-the-go; outside of the home, whether that be during a commute, while waiting for a flight, or other. These issues represent trends, significant annoyance today but severely hampering media consumption in the future. The fastest way to deliver media to a laptop or portable device is (and always will be) close-range connectivity. We created a kiosk, called Moviecle that offers a convenient media pickup service. Customers can logon to the Moviecle, select their content for immediate delivery, and subsequently use their Wifi connection to logon to the providing store and pay for the content. This solution is compelling to the consumer: offering a targeted assortment and fast download. It is equally compelling to the digital media retailer, who can use the platform to acquire new customer and drive transactions. Finally, it is a boon to the venue operator (e.g. airport, train station, coffee shop) who deploys the Moviecle as it improves the customer experience and provides a new revenue model and uses minimal floor space. We have deployed our Moviecle technology in pilot at Boston Logan Airport , for a six-month trial starting October 2008. See photos of the Moviecle live at Boston Logan, www.flickr.com/moviecle

Frozen Funnel Cakes Funnel Cakes are one of the most popular sweet desserts at fairs and festivals, generating millions of dollars annually. However, consumers who love funnel cakes cannot purchase them at their local grocery stores. The market for frozen funnel cakes is therefore virtually untapped.

Originally a Pennsylvania Dutch specialty, funnel cakes are a popular carnival item throughout Canada and the United States . By producing an existing product in an innovative way, the sales potential for this venture is huge. The production of 5" frozen funnel cakes that can be re-heated in a toaster or oven will successfully capitalize on a niche market.

It is a lucrative business opportunity that will offer potential investors enough profit potential to recover their investment many times over.

Trunkstars Inc. The ability for anyone to share videos online evolved last year from “trendy”™ to “mainstream”™ with content leaders like YouTube enjoying 11 hours of footage uploaded to it every minute. Although this should be considered a sign of enormous potential, it is equally enormous trouble as user experiences are becoming increasingly hindered by a library of content with no framework of organization. Accordingly, our solution to allow people to enter their videos into contests online not only rectifies this emerging trend by placing content into silos, but it gives purpose and prizes that the current leaders fail to offer. TrunkStar, in other words, allows anyone to create, manage and compete in user generated talent contests. TrunkStar is not only timely in solving the problem of content disorganization but its business model awards cash prizes to those who vote, those who upload videos and those who organize contests. This is critical because it reflect the general desire that people have for more revenue opportunities online as the economy suffers and traditional jobs are lost oversees.
