Description:
The fundamental assumption is to put the G1 satellite navigation module which could display the information about the current speed limit, whether the lights should be on and in which hours etc., on a given area of the country identified by satellite (position – latitude and longitude).
What is more, the module must include wifi connectors,
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a common skin disorder associated with allergies, characterized by a very itchy rash, with a scaly, dry appearance. There are many causes, with significant discomfort and suffering, especially in children, more frequently than adults. Serious infections can develop if the skin is not treated or if itching and scratching is not controlled.
“Passive controls” of airflow over aircraft wings focus on airflow boundary layer effects, with benefits of drag reduction, lift to drag ratio enhancement, wing stall delay, better post-stall behavior and performance, reduced stalling at steep attack angles, shorter take off and landing distances and overall flight control performance, increased aircraft operating range, higher operating altitudes, improved roll rates,
The corona-resistant composite material in this proposal would form a coating or film over the electrical and electronic components and related equipment to be protected, having a thickness no greater than 50 microns (about 2 mils). It can withstand at least 20,000 hours of corona discharges, remaining flexible (70% or more elongation upon breaking),
Chitin is second only to cellulose as the most abundant naturally occurring polymer on Earth, a polysaccharide produced by living organisms, including crustaceans, insects, and, importantly, fungi. Chitin is a homopolymer of acetyl-glucosamine. Chitosan is a “de-acetylated” derivative of chitin, and is a very versatile a biopolymer, and has been found to be useful in many applications.
This is an energy-efficient means of transferring oxygen and methane from a gas phase into an aqueous solution using an array of 16 “U-Tubes” in a “Loop Reactor” for production of butanol automotive and aviation liquid fuel. One U-Tube consists of four 8 inch diameter inner pipes with an outer pipe diameter of 24 inches.

Medella Health is a wearable technology start-up based out of Waterloo, Canada. We are developing contact lenses that continuously and non-invasively monitor health biomarkers and transmit the data to a mobile phone, so patients can better manage their health. We are starting with diabetes management, but can expand this to many other health indicators,
In 1995, engineers at the Michelin Technology Center in Greenville, S.C. envisioned a future where vehicles and machines would be able to be driven without experiencing a flat due to loss of air. When the engineers started working on this premise they were still designing a structure that looked like a regular pneumatic tire.
Early prototype model of 3D Tire Printing and Mounting Unit. With the ability of complicated 3-D Printed structures and light weight design, automotive tires will now be 3-D printed with specialized rubber compounds of carbon additives and mesh like forms.
