We have designed and manufacture a conversion. It is a bolt on converting a bumper pull trailer into a gooseneck pull. No welding required. It is full wired for ease of installation. Meets all federal regulations.
Modern diesel engines move cargo all over the world and generate electricity. My idea is to use supplemental Oxygen to duplicate the effects of Nitrous Oxide without adding additional Nitrogen. Thus, by using a dedicated Oxygen Generator, you increase combustion and reduce fuel usage.
The Navy and Military Sealift Command use reciprocating analysis (RA) as a part of a wide portfolio of technologies to monitor the condition (CM) of the fleet’s large Propulsion and Ship’s Service Diesel Generator engines. The CM data is used to improve fuel economy and enhance the effectiveness of preventative maintenance activities. The RA “shots”
Air-conditioning systems spend most (up to 90%) effort on cooling air. Cooling people is just a byproduct of the whole process. To reduce energy demand we need to implement approaches that reverse this situation and focus on directly cooling people with minimum conditioning of surrounding air.
Based on the ASHRAE Standards,
NOVAlert™ IVS (Intelligent Vigilance Solutions) is a patent pending active automotive safety system embedded in the driver’s seat. It performs the monitoring and alerting of driver’s drowsiness and inattentiveness.

ViaTechMD has invented and developed the first and only device-based treatment for various conditions known to contribute to preterm birth (“PTB”).
PTB is a growing global healthcare crisis and is the leading cause of infant death and morbidity within the first months of life.
Present Scenario:
For years there has been significant development in the Automobile sector but the source of power, the engine, remains the same. Although the engine has been developed since the beginning the mechanism remains the same. The main drawback is its efficiency, 35%, and it causes pollution.
HuPoTest was discovered incidentally and developed for over 50 years by testing face to face more than 1000 persons under test (PUT). In fact, it is the calibration of the PUT mental timer by using a standard stopwatch and original operating procedure. Timer and mentality are strongly interconnected defining each other,
In the 60’s Bell Helmet had an ad that read “If You Have a $10 Head Wear a $10 Helmet.”
Whether or not you lead with your head, you want to know the DAMPS numbers.
In computer modeling simulations the patent pending OACS helmet liner recorded 71 out of 90 joule energy absorption Hz. 90 joules is total energy absorption;
