I was awarded A US patent for a self contained (mini-data center) which can cool, clean & secure personal, buisness or even military computer hardwhare/servers or any type of electronic equipment.
The system can be built in many size or configeration depending on customer needs.
I'm willing to share any profits that could come from this product. I've been in the commercial,industial cooling industry for thirty years and have worked in many data centers. The cooling & power systems needs are world wide and growing. I believe there's a customer base for this system, but I need help in all areas....Thank you
Despite the huge advance in information technologies, data input has remained somewhere in the Dark Ages.
We still use a system of handwriting far slower than the rate at which words appear on our minds and tongues. Entering data into a computer is even slower and desperately unergonomic. Speech recognition and handwriting recognition still have a long way to go before they become really useful. Allegedly ergonomic alternatives rarely stand up to their name and carry a heavy price tag. Their manufacturers fail to see that without a "try before you buy" scheme only few would risk their money; they also miss some inexorably hard to grasp facts like that a device, no matter how well shaped, needs several sizes because all people do not have the same size of hands...
Various keyboard layouts claim to allow for both "ergonomic and fast" typing, but learning only a single layout, different from the one you are already used to, is a hard and lengthy process. Why invest so much time and energy if the pay-off is dubious? Same with the otherwise noble and bright concept of the "Shavian alphabet".
“OK, but what’s the point here?” you might ask. Well, ergonomics alone is a serious enough concern but there is much more besides. Human resources are being wasted in the overwhelming activity of entering data. Composition becomes tormenting when so many ideas and thoughts pour into your mind while it takes ages until the words to denote them appear on the screen... Internet based collaboration, in the form of forums, wikis and various other content sharing platforms (like this one) would benefit more if there were an easier and quicker way to share one's knowledge.
So, the question is: what could we do to be able to see dramatic improvement in the development of data input technologies? How could we accelerate the current rate of R&D in this area? How could we convince "the enterprise" to invest a few bucks into some large-scale testing of those several alternative keyboard layouts or whatever? Does any solution for an effective data input device or system come to your mind?
iCubis recommends you include the following when writing a Needs posting:
1. INFO ONLY or $$$ - please indicate using these keywords whether you are providing this posting for INFO ONLY (not looking to pay for a solution yourself) or $$$ (willing to pay for a solution). Put this right up front, so it immediately tells the reader what sort of opportunity it is.
2. Problem Statement and/or Background - clearly and concisely explain the problem or market potential of the solution you are looking for.
3. Solution Constraints - Detail any requirements you know must be part of the solution. Of particular importance to specify is a high end price point and indicate to which type of consumer: end user (retail price), distributor (wholesale price), manufacturer (production cost), etc.
4. Timeframe - do you have a deadline or are you willing to look at solutions indefinitely until you find the right one?
5. Deal Conditions - what are you willing to offer for a compensation package for an acceptable solution. You do not need to be specific, but the more details you can supply - the better. E.g. are you willing to pay an advance and a royalty on future sales?
6. Contact Directive - indicate whether it is okay for creators to contact you with their solutions or whether you will get back to members who have posted an interesting solution proposal.
7. Needs Reference Code - create a personalized code that explicitly refers to your needs posting. This way when a member creates a response Creation posting they can include this code in their posting. Then all you need do is search on this 'keyword.'
