As per title drones can be used as a power bank to recharge the drying batteries of sensors.
A drying battery will send a signal to recharge it and the drone will be ready to fly to recharge the battery of sensor by detecting the location of sensor.
As per title the power to run the sensor can be generate using Biomass and Bacterial colony.
There are several species of bacteria that can produce Bio-gas to generate power for sensors.
To produce biogas or power, these bacterial colony will be depend on liquid of leaves of tree, grass.
False alarms are a common problem with invisible laser based sensors.
In border areas it just creates panic to identification whether it is a human being, an object, dust, an animal or some vehicle moving across the border.
The proposed solution will work to neutralize false alarms through accurate identification.
Product Overview
The extractor is a multi-use, car-crash survival tool designed to aid a passenger trapped inside a vehicle. The product’s numerous features include:
A built-in razor for cutting the seat belt if trapped in a situation where the belt cannot be unbuckled
A built-in glass breaker to break out car windows when trapped.
There is ample evidence that instruction in spatial visualization skills is effective in improving outcomes for STEM education. Research conducted since the early 1990s has proven that spatial visualization practice and training lead to better grades and improves retention and graduation rates in general for all students.
With this goal in mind,
The future transport system globally has to be MUCH more efficient and electric. RUF offers a new combination of rail and car technology developed in Denmark with Government support.
Satellite communication (SATCOM) systems need to operate in challenging and hostile radio frequency (RF) environments in the presence of unintended and/or intended RF interferences (RFI). For military and commercial applications, it is important to develop advanced RFI mitigation and anti-jamming (AJ) capabilities.
What is HyALTA® - A hybrid lighter-than-air (LTA) and flying wing air vehicle that allows a single vehicle to provide the simplicity, vertical heavy lift, and extended efficient station keeping capabilities of an LTA with the high glide ratio (>40:1) and velocity (up to 200 kts.) of low coefficient of drag flying wings. This patented design (U.S.
What is HyDroneTM - A vehicle designed to operate in and easily transition between maritime subsurface, surface, ground, hover, and forward flight domains. HyDroneTM can operate in or back and forth between any or all of these domains during a single sortie.
Avalanche photodiodes (APD's) offer increased sensitivity over photodiodes. Applications such as Lidar and fiber optic communications experience significant performance improvements by taking advantage of the higher sensitivity afforded by APD's.
However, APD's require a high voltage bias of ~50V to 600V or higher. Current bias power supply options are often too bulky,
