We see a lot of accidents which occur due to irregular steering motion. Once a driver tries to enter a main highway from a by lane his vehicle would be in a angular motion and he will not be able to the see the vehicles behind him.
Creating lifelike 3D volumetric images is of paramount importance to maximize realism for displays. In order to create a lifelike 3D volumetric image I have successfully developed a new concept after spending several years to research. The concept is described below. The development of my 3D Display refers to the well-known swept-volume technique,
After several years of research, I have successfully developed a new concept that is not based on a mass expulsion type rocket engines. The working of this new concept is based on the principle that friction is non-conservative or friction is dependent on path (so reaction of friction force is also path dependent);
OPTIMIZED PISTON MOTION IC ENGINE
Summary :
The present invention relates to transmission mechanism for an internal combustion engine which will improve the internal combustion engine's efficiency and power output by enabling very fast combustion with improved characteristics.
Monitoring and control of greenhouse environment play an important role in greenhouse production and management. Greenhouse monitoring and controlling project is used to measure the various parameters like Temperature, Humidity and Light and to display them on a LCD. Temperature, Humidity and light are sensed by respective sensors. Sensor output is amplified and given to ADC.
This proposal relates to a Hybrid Split Type Internal Combustion Engine. The hybrid construction has resemblance to a four stroke engine having valve arrangement but produces Power for each rotation like a two stroke engine. A special valve prevents carryover of fresh charge with exhaust which is an inherent drawback of conventional two stroke engines.

BERDAN-TECH EVOLUTION OF WIND TECHNOLOGY
The BE-Wind product line is unique in the world, it is the only dual vertical wind system with a Deflector (Diversion) shield on the market today. This design has come about after many years of development and testing.
After helping to make the World a safer place with the 'Life Safety' ASPCA standard for power and communications, I now introduce the mechanism for Distributed Power Processing which will revolutionize power/energy distribution around the World. Solar has come of Age. Todays massive increases in PV efficiency combined with the lower cost,
I am a wheelchair using paraplegic with Spina Bifida, and have worn full-length orthotic leg braces periodically over 45 years. My entry idea is the inclusion of soft fabric vibrating "massage" pads epoxied into the interior of the braces' hard plastic thigh cuffs and shin/foot splints. The pads would be placed such that the upper and lower edges,
