Spinal cord injury affects 17,000 Americans and 700,000 people worldwide each year. A research team at NeuroPair, Inc. won the Grand Prize in the 2023 Create the Future Design Contest for a revolutionary approach to spinal cord repair. In this Here’s an Idea podcast episode, Dr. Johannes Dapprich, NeuroPair’s CEO and founder, discusses their groundbreaking approach that addresses a critical need in the medical field, offering a fast and minimally invasive solution to a long-standing problem.

My project, known as the multipurpose juvin brazier, is able to perform seven functions: cooking, baking, frying, roasting, warming, brie and drying. That makes it different than other inventions because it's able to use less charcoal and prevent sickness such as tuberculosis and on top of that reducing deforestation which is the bulk usage of trees.
Aim- To prevent cases of accidents at night (mostly in hilly areas).
Intoduction - Change and reduce the intensity of vehicle headlights with the help of a photo electric sensor.
Brief- In which we will connected a additional circuit between battery and headlight.
Transportation refrigeration units (TRU) are utilized in the transport of perishable goods. The temperature and environmental controls are critical to the arrival of the perishable goods without damage or spoilage. Typical TRUs have sensors to provide data back to a central processing location such as temperature, humidity, and the operating conditions of the TRUs during transportation.
As the population is increasing, the buildings are getting taller and taller. Elevators have become an essential part of modern buildings/towers. But unfortunately every one of us has to face the problem of unnecessarily stoppage of elevators every day and it wastes our precious time.
We ascertained the ever worst constraint which is still existent in a spark ignition engine (SIE) is the “Constant-Volume Cycle”.
During an effective combustion in an SIE, no considerable volume expansion may occur in the combustion chamber.
We all know how much one has to suffer at the parking lots if we do not get a proper parking space. Each and everyone faces this problem in their lives. My aim is to bring about a solution to this problem.
In engines used before the late 1990s, the valve-lift of inlet and exhaust valve remain the same for all the speeds of the engine. This resulted into deviation in performance characteristics when the engine was not running at design point. The engine has to change its specifications according to its speed.
Advantages of the proposed design:
⦁ The start of working of cutter is done by handle connecting with cutter mechanism by Bowden Cable.
⦁ By this design harmful fluid come out of mango when plucked from tree can be avoided to touch the mangoes with will increase life of mangoes.
Challenge:
Personal safety has become an issue of importance for everyone, but especially for women. Violence against women is a persistent problem and remains a largely neglected issue. Whether walking on city streets or using public transport, going to work women and girls are subject to threat of sexual harassment and violence.
HOW ECW WORKS:
ECW functions like an elephant trunk, but, instead of a nostril, a cows tongue type device, or, mini car wash.
ECW, arm movement, functions via well know technology, such as 3D printing and robotics, guided by color and by auto exterior CAD details ~
