I have designed an UVC air filter that actively sterilizes the air without the need to evacuate the room. It involves a duct fan which draws air through a physical filter on the intake at the bottom. The filter eliminates dust. This increases the efficiency of the UVC sterilization.
The J&R Project, Infectious Agent Disinfection with Nanoplasma, is based on 30 years of basic and applied research in electromagnetic bioeffects and pathogenic microbial decontamination. The latter is especially focused on non-destructive decontamination of sensitive equipment in aerospace platforms.
Using a new FAST LiDAR system with no moving parts, the first of its kind, very fast moving debris can be tracked, identified by material composition, and eventually mitigated by robotics systems employing magnetics and forceps. The complete system will integrate with current technology available in use.
This innovation crosses all categories from medical to automotive, aerospace/defense to consumer items and, most surely, the IoT.
The fiber optic connector is ever-ubiquitous from medical robotics to all levels of aviation to the Internet connection on which this submission was downloaded.
No, it is not a 200 miles per gallon carburetor, nor a secret fuel additive. ValueGauge is a unique electronic display to advise drivers of driving habits that yield the best Value for fuel expense and time and avoid Waste.
DOWSIL™ TC-4060 represents a step change in thermal management in automotive electronics, especially important in electric vehicles. Newer power electronics mandates improved efficiency, long-life and safety.
The home-use diagnostic pad enables women to specifically and personally follow their own feminine discharges for changes and progressions in physiologic conditions. The pad constitutes an AI-empowered early detection platform for at-home monitoring of cancerous biomarkers detection in feminine discharges.
