The evolution of the human robotic prosthesis with the capabilities to simulate the majority of the movements of any extremity creates the necessity to develop more sophisticated control techniques, mainly in the interface with the neurological system and the control of the mechanical prosthesis.
The concept of ground-coupled heat exchanger system exemplified by the negligible surface area and least installation cost. This is well-known that at a sufficient depth the ground temperature is lower than the outside ambient temperature in summer and higher in winter. However,
My idea behind Self Conductive Cell is to provide endless power source to any electronic system where it is suitable to use. In this cell three components are there. Those are diodes, Silicon and Aluminum Mixture block and Silicon and Phosphorus mixture block.
Autonomously driven, electrically powered vehicles have the potential to save lives, energy, time, and as a result reduce air pollution. A completely new, nationwide, mass transit system for self-driven, privately owned, electric cars on an elevated fixed guideway could be built for much less than high-speed rail.
