Everyday drivers fail to yield, miss or run stop signs. Stop signs are meant to control traffic by means of a common understanding of a stop sign where vehicles will stop fully for at least three seconds and based on subjective observations cars will yield based on first stop,
INTENTION OF PROJECT
It is an idea which I thought of at the hospital by seeing one person, he had good speech by birth, but due to an accident he had lost his speaking capabilities.
Aim of this is to present the alternative HEV (PHEV) concept, potentially more efficient than fuel-cell powertrains, which can in the same time compete with the conventional vehicles (CV) in retail prize, functionality and all drive situations!
This project is intended to eliminate the confusion of pressing three different pedals of a 4-wheeler while driving by simplifying the process. It optimizes the position of the ABC pedals (Accelerator, Brake and Clutch).
While the driver has only two operating links,
Innovation
When someone walks into their office building in an uncomfortable suit to look professional, they usually wish they were in something actually comfortable. Then when they walk into a non-professional building after work, they feel left out and want to have another change of clothes.
Far-infrared and submillimeter astronomy is a hot research field. The relative weakness of this radiation requires telescopes to use cryogenically cooled superconducting bolometers and associated transmission lines and processing equipment.
Presently, individuals with ASD have difficulty processing all the sensor information that they are subjected to. Current research indicates that, with respect to hearing, a person with ASD is not able to “filter out” what would be considered background noise to a person without ASD.
The Adaptive Medical Bed is an idea I came up with during my grandfather's battle with cancer. While in the Hospital, Rehab Center and Home Hospice I noticed numerous issues with moving him laterally and elevating a side or part of a side.
Vertical Axis Windmill
Vertical axis windmill with a unique design and a unique control mechanism
This design is very scalable from medium to large sizes. It has low maintenance costs because it can be serviced from the ground. Doesn't require a complex or hi maintenance braking system.
