FasTran’s Magic: The cabin offers 2 aisles for direct entry/exit to a wide comfort seat. 36 seats strategically located within the cabin offer spectacular views while the vehicle travels safely, high above the city's traffic at 55mph. Indirect lighting bathes the cabin. Emergency egress is from the left side onto a nonslip walkway,
The goal of this system is to perform a high performance portable diagnostic ultrasound system but that's not all: The main idea is to have a stackable system up to 1024 channels, and therefore this system could use CMUT technology with great benefits:
best 3D imaging
ultra fast imaging
A 256 channels prototype is running, but it's obvious,
This design can be built with lesser material using relatively simple tools.
This foldable table has the following advantages:
1. It is smaller in size (as it is double foldable) and can be easily carried from one place to another.
2. It can be used for reading books and writing purposes.
3. It can be used as a
Active RC Electronic Biquad/Universal Self Compensated Filters
2° order, 3 base-stages biquad/universal continuous time analog active filters type resonant and, more particulary, active full self-compensation techniques to improve the frequency range, the stability and/or the selectivity of the filters themselves with a very low, or as if zero, cost.
The GPX2 Time to Digital Converter (TDC) is designed for applications where high single shot resolution to 10 picoseconds, best pulse pair resolution of 4 nano seconds and high measurement rate are required. The GPX2 is ideal for high end LIDAR, spectroscopy,
The absolute lack, of oxygen in R2000 homes was the seed, which led to the development of the Dynamic Wall. Tyvek, was also introduced around the same time, allowing the Dynamic Wall to work.
SBPO, spun bonded polyolephin, or Tyvek, would have to seal the entire house; top to bottom. It began,
The Sparrowhawk-HL is a hand-launched version of the (military variant) Sparrowhawk designed primarily for the civil market. The Sparrowhawk-HL is an electric powered-paraglider system with a vertical hanging fuselage.
The main difference of these pumps' design compared with the gear pump is the presence of big teeth and big cavities in the gears. The pitch of big teeth and big cavities is greater than the pitch of small teeth in 3, 5, 7 or more times. Besides,
Over the past year, Capital Sun Group has been working with SunDrum Solar, Net Zero Meter, and New Grid Energy to develop a solar source heat pump system that incorporates a hybrid photovoltaic (PV)/solar thermal collector array that generates electrical power and solar thermal energy simultaneously.
