Problem statement
Intelligent Symptom Tracker: Telehealth Monitoring App addresses the problem of insufficient tracking and understanding of symptoms for various conditions. Many individuals struggle to identify and correlate their symptoms with underlying health issues, leading to mismanagement and increased discomfort.
Liver diseases affect approximately one third of the worldwide adult population, and often remain undiagnosed until reaching severe stages due to the liver's lack of pain sensors. The current gold standard, biopsy, is invasive, expensive, and unsuitable for wide-scale screening.
This proposal would fill a ballistic projectile ie artillery or mortar shell with a liquefied inert gas, and fire it upwind of an isolated wildfire. The projectile would not detonate but would disperse LIG over the hot spot.
In the rapidly evolving aviation landscape, technological advancements are crucial in enhancing operational efficiency, safety, and profitability. Kquika, a pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions, is at the forefront of this transformation. By leveraging sophisticated algorithms and innovative technologies, Kquika is revolutionizing the aerospace/aviation market,
The project will allow converting low potential thermal energy into mechanical energy and then using mechanical energy to convert it into electric energy. Heat can be obtained from geothermal sources, direct solar heating, wind or any other sources.
While washing dishes by hand, an idea came to mind - how much water and energy (to heat the water) could be saved by taking advantage of the power of modern control systems, machine vision and learning?
The state-of-the-art automated wheelchair is designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by providing both comfort and independence.
