1) How it works
a. This system replaces the clutch system for manual transmissions with a locking torque converter, variable vane oil pump, and a clutch pack which will operate as the clutch system for a manual transmission.
Introducing the Up! App
One of the biggest challenges manufacturers face today is machine downtime. When a machine goes down, it’s costing a company revenue, profit and reputation. There are also often long wait times to receive service.
A win-win for service requesters and providers
The Up!
1. Nature of Technology/Product
The Solar Mill concept is a method of integrating two different forms of solar energy collection into one efficient system. This coupling enables us to harvest energy from a wider range in the electromagnetic spectrum.
CENTIPEDE
-they never fall-
CENTIPEDE is a different approach to fall prevention. Older people know that one day they will slip and fall. Most live in fear of this, because they have seen the results of their friends falling. Tragically,
Despite its appearance as a barren, hard vacuum, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) has a very precious resource: Earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere does not end at the official boundary of space (100 km) but grows increasingly rarified to an altitude well beyond that occupied by the International Space Station.
The principles used in a polywell fusion reactor can also be applied, and more readily, for an electron-positron antimatter collider/reactor. Polywell fusion reactors make use of the principle that electrons require much smaller magnetic energy density in order to be magnetically confined than more massive ions. However,

Flash Bainite is recognized as Dept of Energy's 2017 "SBIR Small Business of the Year". Outperforming many 1000s of inventors, Flash Bainite was considered to outperform progress in bio-fuels, wind, solar, batteries, nuclear, and all other small businesses funded by DOE.
A new image processing technology, nearest neighbor deconvolution (US Patent 7912307), is able to enhance image spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit.
This technology rewrites the point spread function (PSF) with nearest neighbor model, applies the Shift Theory in Fourier domain,
The HydroSpike Propulsor is a distributed propulsion system using a centralized pump, and thruster modules sited at key points on a boat or ships hull. The basic operating principle is Fluid Flow Amplification of water through a modified Aerospike nozzle, either linear or annular,
