Composites prosthetics are defined by predefined stiffness of the material and the perception of the composite deformation for the same product is different from one person to another. For this reason, a inflatable composite cover is attached under the prosthetic foot .
Solar photovoltaic are gaining popularity in the age for sustainable clean renewable energy source grows louder. It is well known that Sun’s energy on earth is expressed as 1kw/ square meter at AM 1. Many PV technologies have been developed to convert this energy into electrical energy.
There are several different ways a remotely (10’s of meters or 100’s of meters) located object can be detected, or the object’s presence can be ensured. Some of these are namely:
1. Sending ultrasonic sound and receiving the reflected sound from the object.
It is desirable to have free form cores for the sandwich panels. Unfortunately, industry could produce only flat cores, which required shaping to get a desired form.
I had to find out how to redesign of the sells of the cores to make it uniformly bendable,
The basic concept is that after the potent Chinese medicine physician and/or acupuncturist well balanced a patient's body, body's internal environment does not fit diseases to exist instead of killing the virus, bacteria and cancer cells.
This energy system can be used to access an energy state and transfer a type of energy from one type of energy state to another type of energy state.
Smoothly interlock two independent power devices has been a challenge for mechanical designers. Toyota Prius with its synergy technology demonstrated a successful example. By using a planetary gear box, Prius is able to coordinate the interlocking between engine and motor smoothly, however a little heavy and expensive.
Tick-Search & Destroy solution.
As many owners of pets in the world know, Ticks are dangerous to us and our pets. We use different chemical or natural repellent to fight the danger.
In reality not many have worked so I thought instead of sitting and waiting,
The system is developed for the need of watering plants in the absence of people or less manpower .Also the system helps maintaining the appropriate amount of water required for the plants irrespective of the individuals. The system is based on Programmable logic Controllers commonly know as PLC.
Multi-Purpose Desalination (MPD) is proposed to perform sea water desalination, while generates electricity and produces salt/minerals as a by-product using wave power.
MPD uses 100% ocean wave power, requires no electricity (Fig. 1).
Main facilities are located in the tidal area, that minimizes under water construction,
