Effect of Performance on Various Piston Profiles

In this study an attempt has been made to understand the effect of Various Piston Profiles on the performance and emission characteristics in a combustion engine, providing an opportunity to reduce noise pollution, emission of harmful particulates, smoke, increasing the mileage & performance. Thus the unwanted skirt is removed from both sides of the piston,

Enhancing Rock Penetration Efficiency by a Novel Bio-inspired Drill

Thanks to a bio-mimetic design idea, promoting a novel self-assisting/self-advancing feature, penetrating into soft and hard formations is foreseen to be performed with more reliability, less energy consumption, less maintenance, less required component and weight for the drill and hopefully less structural integrity concerns.

Employing this innovative approach favoring a continuous dual reciprocation action,

Extinguishing High Temperature Fires

FEM-12 an Aqueous High Temperature Fire Fighting Agent (AHTFFA) that can extinguish composite materials, metal fires with temperatures that reach 2,000 F to 8,000 F degrees, rubber tires, and wheel rim fires. The environmentally safe agent rapidly extinguishes the fire, reduces the temperature and places a coating/barrier on the burning material to reduce re-ignition.

Localizing Robots in Deep and Expansive Tunnel Network

Inspection of tunnels or canals that are underground and in places of difficult access (e.g. mountains) can be very difficult and dangerous for humans. In the future, these operations have the potential to be performed by autonomous unmanned vehicles that can access much harsher locations and conditions. However,

Low-cost Vacuum Baffle Based on Thermoelectric Cooling

Many modern technological processes require clean high vacuum environments. Diffusion pumps (coupled with mechanical pumps) can achieve high vacuum pressures (3×10-8 mbar) and are relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain. Their greatest drawback is the backstreaming of oil vapors that could potentially contaminate the chamber where the process of interest is taking place.

Likewise,
