Transport needs in the coming years will be growing. Strong emphasis will have to be placed on servicing new patterns of trade and on meeting the requirements of increased activities in agriculture. Expenditures for transport will be large.
In dealing with transport, subject areas are the various modes, the two elements, infrastructure and equipment,
Did you know that every plane is equipped with a so called fuel tank inerting system that is used to suppress the oxygen concentration at low level to prevent an unexpected explosion accident? Yes, every airplane has all that to secure the aviation traffic safety, based on the guideline by FAA.
ALIFE®AIR is an innovative engineering company dedicated to the development of a sustainable "Zero Emission - Fuel" solution.
Our approach is to be less of a disruption to existing industry, instead leveraging their existing support infrastructure to develop a global deployable solution. We hope to encourage fast adoption in the process.
Consistently, backing accidents account for 25% of all motor vehicle accidents. Preventing damage and injuries due to these also means reducing the risk of related lawsuits and lost time for companies and their employees. According to the FMCSA, up to 30% of fatal crashes and 12% of injury cases in work zones were wrecks involving trucks,
The Gravity Induced Power Plant is an electricity generator based on the free-fall (gravity-induced) of capsules loaded with highly magnetized buckminsterfullerene (or buckyball) along a helical tube. The power plant is self-sustained by lifting the capsules by means of magnetic levitation.
IDEA/SOLUTION:
• failure to locate faults/ problems/ errors etc instantly
• reduce/ zero-out fraudulent activities by the ATM machines
• reduce password forget-ability eg regenerating passwords time & again
• account holder tracker, it allow clients to view balance through links
DrLUX is a hand-held, portable, wound healing device that uses wavelength-specific light-emitting-diodes (LEDs) to accelerate the healing process. Pioneering work conducted by Medical College of Wisconsin shows that bio-stimulation can increase DNA synthesis in fibroblasts and muscles cells, which contributes to fibroblast proliferation and healing process.
The Vanier Contour is a new technology for support. This chair uses a displacement driven system instead of a traditional compression based system. With this system, any contour can be matched with an equal force distribution, unlike compression based systems that are susceptible to pressure concentrations and hot spots.
IDEA DESCRIPTION:
* SUSTAINABLE “GIGA-NTIC BULK SOLAR POWER” GENERATION AUTO-PLANTS
* GENERATING BULK/MAXIMUM SOLAR ENERGY FROM THE SUN USING MAGNETIC LIGHT -TRAPPING / SUSTAINABLE BOOSTED GIGA-NTIC BANDGAP IPV SOLAR ABSORBER CELLS ON SOLAR PANELS
IDEA SOLVE: FAILURE TO EFFECT PAYMENT TIMEOUSLY FOR SOLAR POWER CONSUMED BY THE CLIENT
• Limited amount of solar generated by the current solar systems
Most aircraft composite repair has to be done in a controlled environment .Therefore the damaged parts need to be removed and sent to a shop to perform the proper repair. But on new aircraft quite a lot of the structure was made with composite materials and many of them can't be removed and sent to a shop for repair.
