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.

Designing of some trolley system for motorcycle relates to the field of Mechanical / Automobile Engineering. This PAA (Punctured Assistant Apparatus) relates to automotive ergonomics. This will be assisting the users of two wheeled automobiles when, they encounter a condition of punctured tyres at places located in remote areas far from location of service outlets.
Diesel Powered Hammer - Slammer
This describes a hammer with two weighted portions (hammer head and reaction weight) that are separated by a diesel combustion chamber. There is a fuel filled handle with a central fuel line running from the handle to the combustion chamber such that the chamber is recharged with fuel after each blow.
Innovation:
Individual hard plastic (e.g. polycarbonate) or metal slabs with two parallel holes into which a matching size of mono filament line is inserted. The devices are sold in a stack with a spool of line inserted through one hole of the stack. The device is pulled off the stack.
A short burst electrical energy harvesting generator in one embodiment including a reciprocating magnet, under the magnetic influence of dual repelling magnets, whose travel path oscillates within a centered through hole coil bobbin thereby producing an induced voltage at the coil terminals.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) protocol for to disentangle neural correlates of phenomenal from access consciousness vision.
From healthy persons to smart devices, through brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) to people in vegetative states and intraneural interfaces implants on human amputees, the EEG technique promise a popular and cheap avenue of new tools to improve human life. In particular,
Nanobes are composites of aptamers, fluorescent dye or quantum dots, carbon nanotubes or quenching polymer (diazoluminomelanin) nanoparticles, and ferromagnetic metallic nanoparticles. The aptamer is a double-stranded DNA oligomer which dissociates upon contact with a specific target ligand (such as that found on the surface of a pathogen or toxin),
In the 2013 contest session, it was proposed to store some kinetic energy in the rotor of the generator of a series-parallel hybrid powertrain (Prius Type), with or without a coupled flywheel. 150 KJ, roughly the vehicle kinetic energy at 50 Km/h, can be easily stored without sophisticated technology.
The growth of technology is witnessed every day and everywhere. From rural to urban areas we have technological innovations working and growing. There are medical experts in cities who treat and diagnose diseased people. But people in urban areas do not stand a chance to get treated by medical experts,
When people are trapped in a hi-rise building with fire raging on a floor below them the chances of rescue are slim indeed. Even a helicopter is virtually useless in this situation as the cycle time to evacuate the number of persons via a helicopter pad on the roof of a building would not cope.
