This device captures ALL power sources: Solar, fuel, wind, water motion, etc. adapting humanity to ANY energy.
Many MANY pistons in a closed-system provide the TIME to heat and cool the pistons for power generation from heat. Converting to non-heat power sources (wind &
The history of the speculum dates back to the 1840’s when” the godfather of gynecology,” Marion Sims, performed dozens of surgeries, without anesthesia, on enslaved women using a spoon he bent backwards.
As a gynecologist for the past 15 years, the speculum that I use to perform exams on my patients is millimeters away from the original model.
Photonect is a photonic interconnect solutions company. The company provides a revolutionary solution for connecting photonic integrated circuits(devices) to optical fibers.
With the advent of AR/VR and video streaming, the need for higher data rates has grown exponentially. To satisfy this need, data centers are now migrating towards integrated photonic devices.
LifeSense ESD
The LifeSense ESD device consists of a breather body and disposable mouth piece and sensor strip. The breather body and mouth piece are made by injection molding. The sensor strip is prepared specific to the disease to be tested.
Many products are in development to sense disease by smell.
Innovation and Applications
We are at the peak of the digitalization age which is making our surroundings smarter every day. There are many initiatives to make the buildings, vehicles, cities, etc., smart. However, we believe that better than making things smart, we need to make them sustainable, since sustainable things are inherently SMARTER.
The Dr. Cool is an innovative product, introduces an air cooling system with an application of Thermo Electric Coolers. The TEC is a semiconducting device working by the principle of Peltier Effect. The TEC’s has a cold and hot junctions, by the use of heatsink(fins) the heat is distributed.
You must have seen notice boards and information boards at various places such as schools, universities, offices, transport hubs, etc. The conventional method involves the use of paper or an entirely separate display system for such purposes respectively. These methods consume resources and time.
Introduction
Blockchain technology has caused a tremendous impact in both academia and business market. Since there are centralized servers used in generally, we have recognized:
The growth in load on the servers which might lead to server crashing and failure.
High dependency on external could services that might prove to be high in cost.
VAYU is a modern tower cooler designed for urban spaces. It has a compact monolithic form with carefully packed components which enables it to purify the air and even cools it efficiently through evaporative cooling. With its simple geometrical and subtle design language, it blends into the home decor without compromising on cooling.
Based on user observation,
For large property owners, routine maintenance like mowing and snow removal are ongoing and time consuming. A machine that could perform a portion if not all of these tasks autonomously would free up considerable time and conceivably use less fuel for the same task. Production costs may also be reduced by eliminating the need to accommodate a passenger.
