The funny mouth piece called Face Slimmer is an anti-aging product from Japan.

To use it effectively you’re supposed to wear it while reciting the vowel sounds of the alphabet three times in a minute, twice a day.

As a result users will have a younger looking face and no wrinkles around their eyes, says the cosmetic company, which produces the item.

Keep track, step by step

Jeans with special effects

Do you like crazy clothes? Yes? Well, then the Scratch-n-Sniff Scented Denim might be of your interest. The jeans actually smell like raspberry candy when scratched. Naked & Famous Denim, the company which invented them says the effect is created by coating the denim fabric with a special coating that contains mini microcapsules. The coating is applied and then baked into the denim. The tiny capsules have a bit of perfume inside and as you scratch them the scent is released.






Naked & Famous Denim also came up with jeans you can charge up with light (can be natural sunlight or artificial bulb light) and then shut the lights and watch ‘em glow! The jeans will also glow intensely under UV light, so if you wear them in a club with a blacklight, your pants will appear neon green!





According to the company these kind of jeans work because they apply a phosphorescent coating to the fabric in Japan. This coating is baked into the fabric and will absorb light and slowly release that light with an emanating green glow, just like Glow in the Dark stickers. Another fun aspect of the jeans is after you beat them up a bit the wear patterns will cause the coating to fade in certain parts of the jean and will create a unique piece of glowing art.

Don´t forget… Tomorrow is Valentine´s Day! In case your loved ones are far away Hooman Samani, an artificial intelligence researcher in Singapore, had an idea. He has developed a robot with a virtual mouth that can emulate and transmit a kiss – bringing an extra touch of intimacy to a long-distance relationship or even a video game.

The “Kissenger” has the size and shape of a softball and has a pair of touch-sensitive lips that detect and copy how each partner delivers the kiss.

Samani says as well as bridging the physical gap between real people it could also create a link with the virtual worlds to add a new dimension to gaming. Curious? Want to know how the „Kissenger“ works? Let´s have a closer look:


California leads the USA in innovation, or does it?

Remember? We already told you about Utility patents. They are the most common patent type and a primary means of protecting intellectual property and technological innovation. IFI CLAIMS®Patent Services recently announced its top-50 ranking of global companies awarded the most U.S. utility patents in 2011. IBM remains in the first position, as it has for 19 years in a row, with a record of 6180 utility patents. Samsung trails second with 4894 and Canon replaces Microsoft in the third slot with 2821.

According to IFI, the USPTO issued 224.505 utility patents in 2011, an increase of two percent over 2010’s record breaking total. While preparing the 2011 Patent Intelligence and Technology Report, IFI analysts took a closer look at the 2011 US patent grants and in particular the location of the inventors named on these documents. Despite the obvious surge of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese companies in the Top 50 assignees, 50% of US patents in 2011 named US inventors.

Diving deeper into the US inventor information the IFI analysts could rank the States based on inventor data. In this case a patent is credited to a state if at least one of the patent’s inventors resides in the state. The top 10 states are shown below:

State
 2011 US Utility Patent Grants
California 32,715
Texas 9,407
New York 9,263
Massachusetts 7,106
Washington 5,737
New Jersey 5,583
Illinois 4,933
Pennsylvania 4,746
Michigan 4,644
Minnesota 4,609



As you see California is the clear leader with respect to the overall volume of patents accounting for 15% of the total number of US utility patents granted in 2011. However when you factor in population, IFI analysts find Vermont at the top of list along with Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The figure below shows a graph of the top 10 states by number of utility patents granted, and the number of patents granted per 100.000 residents.


So what exactly is going on in Vermont that accounts for its performance? The IFI analysts looked at the assignees and found IBM accounting for most of the patent activity. How come? IBM has a large facility in Burlington that designs and produces semiconductors.
