A robo-toilet that senses your movements has been launched. The AutoClose loo keeps track on you using an infra-red beam - and will raise and lower the seat accordingly. The seat closes automatically after you've stepped out of range.
A Chinese man called Mr Bi has trained his cat to use his toilet. He spent seven years inventing the gadgets that allow his pet to flush away her mess. He now plans to sell his contraption to other cat owners.
A computer programmer who lost his ring finger in a motorcycle accident has had it replaced with a USB drive. Jerry Jalava from Helsinki, Finland, has built the special prosthetic finger which he can peel back from the 'nail' and plug into the USB slot on.
British firm Cremation Solutions have come up with personalised urns that look just like the dearly departed. The firm uses facial reconstruction and 3D mapping software to recreate the face of your beloved.
A child demonstrates the PediSedate, which gently sedates youngsters by administering anaesthetic nitrous oxide gas through a headset as they play handheld consoles.
Masunaga's Wink Glasses are designed to avoid dry-eye when the user concentrates on video gaming or the web. They have a sensor to detect how often the user blinks. The lens fogs when the user keeps his or her eye open for five seconds without blinking.
A Tomy employee poses with the Bowlingual Voice, a gadget that expresses dogs' emotions, at the annual Tokyo Toy Show. Tomy claim the gadget analyses a dog's voice through a wireless microphone attached to its collar and then displays its emotions.
The first fish hotel has opened in Amsterdam. The hotel allows you to drop off your fish when you go on holiday and has a 'tennis court' and 'swimming pool'
What better way to discourage bear attacks when camping in the woods than to make them think you've already been eaten by another bear? Artist EIko Ishizawa has created this sleeping bag for a warm and safe night's sleep.
A man demonstrates the JetLev-Flyer, which powers out two strong jets of water, allowing the wearer to take off and soar nearly 30ft above the ground. Its makers say flights can last up to two hours at 'cruising speed' or around one hour going flat out.
The Scarpar board uses two tank-like tracks to roar across tricky off-road surfaces which would prove impossible with wheels. With a 8hp motor operated by a hand controller, the board can hit speeds of up to 37mph.
The motorised La-Z-Boy chair that Dennis Anderson was driving when he hit a parked vehicle in Proctor, Minnesota in August 2008. Anderson pleaded guilty to driving while drunk. The chair was powered by a lawnmower engine.
The Isophone - an underwater telephone system designed by James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau. The space-age device means you can communicate with other swimmers while splashing around in the pool.
Scientists in Hungary have invented see-through concrete. Filled with optical fibres that run from one end of a poured piece of concrete to the other, these prefabricated blocks and panels effectively transmit light from one side to the other.
Kayla Kromer, a 26-year-old first grade teacher from Austin, Texas, dressed as Princess Leia, lies in her Millennium Falcon bed.
An American artist has created eye-opening trousers that wink at people as you walk. William Jones' 'Winkers' feature a pair of eyes that stare out from the wearer's buttocks.
These Japanese Bikini Jeans cross jeans with a thong - an attached bikini bottom secures the low-slung jeans to the hips.
Designer Pistol Panties has created the Swarovski crystal-coated Bling-kini, which was due to go on sale at Selfridges for £2,000, or £100 per square centimetre.
Meet the real-life Edward Scissorhands. Valentino LoSauro cuts the hair of Shannan Stewart with his revolutionary Clawz, which he claims cut hair twice as fast as normal shears, in Fort Myers, Florida, USA. He spent two years developing his invention.
Combining the idea of a shopping cart and a bicycle, Korean designer Jaebeom Jeong has come up with Cartrider.
Kenji Kawakami, founder of the International Chindogu Society demonstrates his funnel glasses, designed to guide eyedrops into the eye, in Tokyo. The word "Chindogu" translates as "weird tools" and Kawakami has invented hundreds of absurd items...
...including a Hayfever Hat which dispenses a continuous flow of toilet paper, and an alarm clock with the snooze button in the middle of a bed of sharp pins, designed to keep the user awake.
Canadian inventor Michael Pettipas poses on the Bonneville salt flats in Utah with his Forumla One limo which seats six passengers, has an eight-litre engine and can reach speeds of up to 140 mph.
