The main objective is to develop a FMS lateral navigation system 's prototype using webapps technologies.
The perception of our immediate physical environment plays a key role in the human experience. Awareness of our surroundings can be considered a primary survival sense second only to hearing and sight and, in many ways, opens a doorway to be human.
The Hexaviation Snowflake is a groundbreaking innovative design concept for an environmental friendly autonomous flying advanced passenger transportation system. The technology is based on a drone flyer using a double propeller vertical take-off and landing principle which is powered by hydrogen fuel cell units.
Concept:
Interactive headband with multi-spaced distancing sensors (optical & sound), attached to individual vibrating motors evenly spaced around the head to warn of impending side and rear impact.
Motivation:
Amidst the pandemic and economic concerns going back to office remains a critical decision. Here we propose a contactless access and monitoring system focused on corporate employees’ safety. The system comprises 3 stages (a) attendance management, (b) contactless access control, and (c) social distance monitoring.
VS infiltrator is an innovative component/module which may be used to increase the infiltration capacity of soil in areas where the infiltration capacity of soil is low or low permeability of the soil. This infiltrator may be made from steel, recycled PVC,
The objective of the present disclosure generally relates to the field of drainage management. More specifically, the present disclosure is related to a permeable drainage system for increasing the groundwater level in aquifers, reducing environmental pollution, and re-establishing the natural hydrological balance.
Future progress in AI and bitcoin may become paralyzed by enormous energy requirements.
Manufacturing of computer chips involves ion implantation via particle accelerators, which are generally expensive due to relatively large size and electric power requirements.

Self-Winding Generator™
Patent No. US 7,127,886 B2
An energy storage spring, similar in nature to a self-winding watch's mainspring and fabricated from spring steel, stores the rotational energy captured and transferred from the facility's turbines.
Patent No. US 7,348,686 B2
Buoyancy belts™ and their respective reservoirs offset some of the effects of gravity, while simultaneously reducing the vibration associated with the rotors found in electric generators and turbines. The use of special coatings, such as those used on ocean-going vessels,
