Current wound care and treatments require the removal of dressings, resulting in further disruptions to the surgical site or wound bed that can lead to severe discomfort, compromised healing and other complications. New objective approaches for monitoring and treating wounds are needed to improve surgical outcome and wound healing for both military personnel and civilians. To address these needs,
Heart failure is global pandemic with nearly 30 million sufferers worldwide causing not only significant mortality but also diminished quality of live and a huge cost burden to individual and healthcare systems.
A computer program using Quantum Mechanics to mitigate Breast Cancer

Overarching Challenge: How does one identify SERM (i.e. estrogen-like) molecules based upon quantum fundamentals? A pharmacophore is that set of properties, carried within a molecular framework, responsible for a drug’s biological activity. We introduce something entirely new, in the search for pharmacophores, viz.,
In internal combustion engines the cam play a very important role and also takes huge impact on itself. The failure of cam is major issue which happens due to the follower, this failure is also known as the lobe failure.
Modular Presence Indicators [MPIs] are portable devices comprised of three parts that work in tandem as presence detectors. The devices are based in whispering gallery mode excitation where tunable light sources, detectors, and optical cavities are used as highly sensitive components. The three parts include disposable test cartridges [DTCs], modular detection assemblies [MDAs], and universal electronic controllers [UECs].
MoonTrap system saves up to 95% on transportation costs when delivering raw materials to space for 3D printers, as well as rocket fuel. Currently, the delivery of raw materials for 3D space printers costs as much as the delivery of finished products. There are benefits to printing spacecraft parts in space,
This muffler is basically a combination of absorptive and reflective type and has 3 layers.
The inner one content a converging and diverging type of venturi with holes on it and a flap (can be a rhodium/palladium) in between the C/D venturi which diverts the exhaust gases.
A green means of generating electricity from the pitter patter of falling rain drops and sunshine is described here. A falling rain drop strikes at least one piezoelectric element (coated with multi-layer photovoltaic flexible thin films) of a micro-grid array comprised of many piezoelectric elements.
The cost of hospital ventilators has become cost prohibitive during our present Corona virus epIdemiic as hospitals, states, and countries compete to buy them from the limited supply available in todays’s market place. A safe emergency replacement for ventilators is here suggested. A compressor and accumulator feeds pressurized filtered oxygen or air to a multi electro-pneumatic valve array.
This drive mechanism does not use chaindrive or shaftdrive but has efficiency as chaindrive (in terms of gear teeth engagement) and requires less frequent maintenance. It also provides gear ratio.
Basic idea: Use internally toothed gear to rotate the hub of the wheel. It also uses part of rotation energy of the wheel for anti-tipping mechanism.
Drive mechanism,
