There are numerous high rise buildings in most cities situated either by narrow lanes or only their front sides face the main (wide) road and the other three sides face narrow lanes. lf fire breaks out in such narrow lanes facing buildings, much time is required to douse or control it,
Basic limitation of Traditional (Open) Differentials is accompanied with their large masses and costs. This limits use of differentials to the places, only where either requirement is must or economy is not a problem. However use of differential is to fulfill the need of relative angular speed between wheels on same axle.
The blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, is a keystone species that plays an integral ecological, economic, and sociological role in Chesapeake Bay. Concern for declining populations in this species is considerable and efforts to raise awareness regarding the need to conserve these precious natural resources is being advanced through use of the Quick-Capture Attended Waterman Trap (Grab-Crab™).
Gesture recognition has a goal of interpreting human gestures that can originate from any bodily motion or state but commonly originate from the face or hand. It helps in building bridge between machines and humans than primitive text user interfaces or even GUIs (graphical user interfaces), which limits the majority of input to keyboard and mouse.
NASAs Kennedy Space Center has developed a novel ruggedized housing for an electrical or fluid umbilical connector that prevents intrusion of dust, sand, dirt, mud, and moisture during field use under harsh conditions. The technology consists of a pair of hand-sized protective umbilical interface housings, each containing a connector with an integrated end cap.
The Shutter Valve is a quarter turn, compact and fully piggable high performance valve that is based on a simple interlocking three petal design. This design gives it the ability to seal at very high pressures just like any other high performance valve. Unlike other high performance valves,
Extreme advances in science and technology have opened up unlimited possibilities for development and creation of new products.

In this undertaking we intend to develop an automated mobile robotic arm, for medium duty work (for a payload of 50-100 kg ).
1. Even though many robotic arms ( completely actuated through hydraulics ), they have either been built for very heavy duty works ( Diggers, forklifts ) or are stationary in nature,
Smoothly interlock two independent power devices has been a challenge for mechanical designers. Toyota Prius with its synergy technology demonstrated a successful example. By using a planetary gear box, Prius is able to coordinate the interlocking between engine and motor smoothly, however a little heavy and expensive.
A caster where the swiveling portion is internal. There are two vertically disposed, horizontally spaced-apart rollers located on a horizontal roller axle mounted in a yoke attached to the bottom of a central shaft. The central shaft has two bearings supporting it with two central core spacers.
