Our breakthrough low-emissions diesel combustion system has been shown in detailed modeling to be capable of providing clean, pre-mixed combustion on diesel fuel at a stable and appropriate timing of ignition (without pre-ignition). Unlike in standard diesels, the entire charge is injected with time for it to mix prior to the start of combustion,
Minoxy is an art affordable hermetically sealed preservation enclosure display system that preserves art and artifacts in an oxygen-free and pollution-free atmosphere that can be used by a novice collector, museum, or archive. The enclosure also protects the contents from ultra-violet exposure, air pollution, and moisture.
This package can be used by any organization (individual,
Many Atlantic hurricanes start to take shape when thunderstorms along the west coast of Africa drift out over warm ocean waters that are at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius), where they encounter converging winds from around the equator. Other hurricanes originate from unstable air pockets popping out in the Gulf of Mexico.
There are many phenomenon either natural or human made that destroy public properties like power line poles and sometimes the combination of both reasons will also bring high destruction. Recent recorded phenomena that have been well known for destruction of those properties are vehicle accidents, hurricanes and flooding, construction, power line pole quality, land slides and earthquakes,
Problem
To track Sargassum’s ocean path the Optical Oceanography Laboratory is currently using the Sargassum Watch System (SaWS) which is designed to use satellite data and numerical models to detect and track pelagic Sargassum in near-real time. The raw satellite data are provided by the U.S. NASA and USGS.

In the world, the manual assembly of a machine is considered very high quality and expensive, like a Rolls-Royce car.
Do you have a question about the prototype of this machine, and how it differs from others.
Problem
Ventilators are very important equipment in an indoor environment. They help us stay cool, warm and breathe filtered air.
Solar and cosmic radiation are a major threat to human activity in space. Life on Earth is protected by Earth's magnetic field which deflects high energy particles from the solar wind and other cosmic sources. It should be possible to incorporate a conductive coil in the construction or lining of a cylindrical space vehicle or habitat,
AutoRing is a new type of Dash Cam. However, instead of filming what is going on outside the car, it is set to record break-ins. Owners have a security fob that disarms the system when doors are opened, but if a thief enters the vehicle,
Monitoring of waste is one of the problems of the present era as the traditional way of manually monitoring the waste is a cumbersome process. The process utilizes much human effort, time and resources which can easily be reduced to a significant level with the introduction of an automated disposal system.
