207 Pr104 To transport a huge bell of 9.6 ton via poor roads without wheels or skids and without waterway.  p219.  Pack the bell with logs so as to form a wheel.   
207 Pr105a To place partition walls against the blast wave in the mines without disturbing mine works. p219.  Place a parachute in a small groove in the drift wall, and suspend a small (signal) parachute over the passage.  When the blast wave jerks the signal parachute, the larger parachute opes and blocks the passage to dampen the blast wave.   
208 Pr105b To send a fire engine cart to the fireplace automatically in the mines and turn on the water sprayer from a remote position. p219.  Use a sail on the cart to catch the air draught attracted by the fire.   
208 Pr106 To prevent toxic effects of drugs which are overtaken accidentally or deliberately. p219.  Add emetic powder in the tablets in advance.   
208 Pr107 Think of or imagine "dynamic pictures".   -- No target solution (p219).  
208 Pr108 Suggest a new ball game using the tools of the technical evolution.   -- No target solution (p219).  
208 Pr109 To make the cutting wire sharp in cutting and durable even during high tension.  p219.  Transfer electric current through the wire and apply a strong electromagnet outside.   
208 Pr110 To suggest a new way of motions of swings without using external power sources.    -- No target solution (p219).  
208 Pr111 To estimate the results of blasting in the mines efficiently. p219.  Use photographic copies.  
208 Pr112 To send electric current on the fence wire around the meadow when animals touch it. p219.  Use the piezo effect.  When an animal stretches the wire, it hits a piezocrystal and turns on the electric current.  
208 Pr113 To prevent babies from swallowing plastic toys and to locate them when the babies swallowed.    --No target solution (p219).   
208 Pr114 To count the number of drops spattered with each sneeze efficiently.  p219.  Precipitate particles on the filtering surface and measure the electric charge transferred by the particles under a potential difference.   
p219.  Use a polymer plate dissolvable into water and measure the imprints of water drops.  
p219.  Determine the difference of light fluxes passing through negative images of the base before and after the drops are fixed on the base.
