To examine the eye fundus, the Helmholtz method is often mainly used. The essence of the method is that drugs are injected into the eye, artificially dilating the pupil.
THE PROBLEM:
Asthma affects over 300 million people globally, with significant mortality rates, particularly in India, contributing to 42.4% of global asthma deaths. Traditional inhalers face two critical issues: lack of synchronization of inhalation and medication release, and improper mixing of medication with air.
Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) detection is crucial due to the potential threats and opportunities these celestial bodies present. Identifying and tracking NEAs is vital for planetary defense. While catastrophic asteroid impacts are rare, their severe consequences necessitate early detection.
Description:
This invention discloses a novel Easy-Change Fan Canopy designed to streamline the replacement of existing fan canopies and improve fan longevity. The Easy-Change Canopy addresses a common challenge encountered with conventional fan canopies, which necessitate the disassembly of the entire fan unit for canopy replacement. Additionally,
It is designed for people or patients with respiratory insufficiencies, which must be continuously assisted. It should be noted that anyone who requires it can use it anywhere they want,
How it Works:
The electronically operated myoelectric prosthetic hand is an innovative device designed to mimic the natural movements of a human hand. It operates using a battery and an EMG (Electromyographic) sensor to detect electrical activity in the muscles.
The storage of red blood cells in blood banks faces a significant challenge: cellular deterioration known as storage lesions. These biochemical and morphological alterations affect the erythrocytes' ability to transport oxygen, increasing risks for patients requiring transfusions. Conventional techniques such as centrifugation and mechanical filtration, although useful,
Device intended to warn in an auditory or visual manner the driver of a motorized vehicle that he has reached or exceeds the speed predefined by himself on the device.
