Eye drops are liquid drops applied directly to the surface of the eye, particularly the human eye, usually in small amounts such as a single drop or a few drops. Eye drops may also contain one or more medications to treat a wide variety of eye diseases.
There are many kinds of eye drops,
Many countries of the world are using underground water extensively. We mostly use this water for drinking or watering crops. The proposed project considers the possibility of obtaining electricity from the groundwater used.
Studies show that the city of Khanabad in the Republic of Uzbekistan is 213 meters higher than the city of Andijan,
When there is the need to change the blade pitch of the propeller of a helicopter, there is the problem of the strong natural coupling of the rotation of the regulating shaft with the rotation of the propeller hub, which in fact is a carrier.
The solution for this problem is the transmission of the regulating motion,
A system is proposed for converting any vehicle into a hybrid (from the components shown in Figure 1) with a set of functions close to the technology "mild hybrid." A feature of the new system is the acquisition by vehicles of special functions that are not inherent in the classic hybrid built on the technology of "mild hybrid,
1. Description
Take advantage of the 12,900 km3 of water vapor that exists in the atmosphere in the form of water vapor or mist based on the condensation of water vapor as water nursery (released by plant transpiration and also from the soil, vegetation, lakes, rivers and seas due to the effect of solar radiation) during dry seasons,


New proprietary solar panel technology that generates as much energy as existing solar PV panel technology at 10-15% less cost of energy (even more saving in some applications).
It offers enhanced mechanical strength, anti-slip, anti-glare,
Enhanced EAS system box and server system consists of a legacy with all legacy features and settings and same codes ever used as well as custom same code programmable capable EAS box and server system with the latest features that have been proposed are propose or will be added shortly.
The present invention is based upon modifications of a Create the Future Design Contest Entry, which I filed on July 1, 2012, titled: “Superconducting Solenoid Liquid Vortex Power and Propulsion.” In the previous invention, fresh or salt water was compelled to vortex flow through the bore of larger diameter, high magnetic field solenoid coil “perpetual room-temperature-superconducting” electromagnets,
PROBLEM:
Salt and other chemicals rust undercarriage components. Car-bottom rust is dangerous and expensive.
The undercarriage is vulnerable to damage due to lack of care. Salt and mud damage is a safety issue -- many undercarriage components cannot be rustproofed. The greatest need for non-collision car repair results from preventable undercarriage rust.
The project consists of using the current demanded by the cities and using it for the generation of hydrogen using current to voltage transformers.
The amount of hydrogen generated by this system will depend on the consumption of the electrical network and the capacity of the current transformers.
