You are right that there should first disclose the area of invention. As a matter of fact, in our SIAP initial assessment phase, our member/inventor will need to do a brief write up of his invention such that it does not render too much information. The write up will then be submitted to SIDA committee whereby the advisors involved will have the chance to not participate if there is a potential conflict of interest. But even with this, we believed there will still be conflict. Hope this answer your question. Thank you Kin Man for your input.

So the inventor should first disclose the area of invention, if the adviser think that there is no conflict of interest then he can act as adviser.

I have found however the whites come out a little grey so wash these with powder. I am now using 80% less detergent. Bravo cleanballz I have used one of these for about 6 months and very happy.

I thought it was proven to be a scam? Still see them being hawked by people near MRT stations and bus interchanges all the time though. Do these really work? I thought it was proven to be a scam?

I thought that if I were an inventor and developed such a device, I would call it "e-eye!". Just for curiosity I looked it up on google and found this website!! This device (or similar) already exists and so my question is: WHY ISN'T IT AVAILABLE YET ON THE MARKET FOR EVERY VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON AROUND THE GLOBE? Its a marvellous invention! THank you for your answer and congratulations.
