The AirLight can tell you when the filter is dirty and in need of a replacement. It works by collecting and analyzing the amount of light allowed through the filter.

The Baby on Board will be US coast guard certified and ensures the child’s safety by having the board strapped to the guardian. This client’s idea was conceived from a mother who wanted to work out in a pool. She wanted to exercise but finding the time to with an infant was a difficult task. She developed the baby on board to allow mothers to swim and spend time with their child. Safety was a main concern while developing this product. The seat contains air pockets to prevent it from sinking and the holes in the foam board hold a belt that straps to the adult’s waist which prevent the board from drifting away. The client is currently in the process of getting this board Coast Guard certified and then intends to begin mass manufacturing.
The Buoy Case
The Buoy case was invented to protect your phone from being dropped into deep water. This idea came from a client who spent a lot of time on a boat. Most modern cell phones are water resistant up to one meter, but water resistance doesn’t prevent the phone from sinking into deep water or protect the phone from getting lost in murky water. This phone case will keep your phone afloat and visible in the bath, the pool, or the ocean. Inventions unlimited designed and developed a method to keep the phone protected and buoyant. The buoy case was designed to be manufactured from closed cell foam with air pockets to make any phone buoyant in all types of water. The size of the air pockets was calculated to ensure the phone keeps afloat. The air pockets are covered by a transparent barrier to provide an airtight and stylish look to the buoy case.
