The benefits of using Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) in braking is already evident from motorsports and production hybrid-electric vehicles. Another area that has a high potential for KERS implementation is the suspension system.
This idea comes from our web article “Turbocharged Zhou Engine” (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/turbocharged-zhou-engine-jing-yuan-zhou), and our invention PCT/CA2014050106 (Japan granted JP6574447, and patent-pending in other countries). So we are working on it.
This invention, Zhou Engine,
Summary

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (ultraviolet C or UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. UVGI is used in a variety of applications,
Most electronic components can be recycled. This means the proper treatment of electronic waste could for save companies’ money and reduce levels of pollution caused by toxic substances. Therefore, getting the consumer to dispose of their e-waste properly is essential.
Fractal ECG is a new innovative technique developed by the Inventors to first quantity and measure the characteristic of ECG wares according to Fractal dimension. Thus for the first time just as how we know the normal BP as 120/80 of normal sugar level as a range of value.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer; second only to tobacco use; and yet, very few people have heard of its insidious carcinogenic effects; and even fewer are aware how to test for such an innocuous health hazard.
Li-ion battery systems are widely used in electrified vehicles. The imbalance of state-of-charge (SOC) between battery modules/cells will bring detrimental effects to the battery. The conventional balancing schemes equalize battery by discharging high SOC cells.
