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.

Presently it takes months for the OEM and/or Aircraft user to determine what damage their aircraft has sustained in its past operations. The data is collected via a flight data recorder. The data, once downloaded, is then compared to the data collected during flight test and other structural test conducted during certification.
A transparent, protective shock-absorbent thermoplastic trim that is easily applied, and which can conform to the shapes and lengths of the panels and bumpers of any vehicle. Today's autos no longer have any protective side trim and their bumpers are better shsock-absorbers, are now and integral part of the cara's body.
Current problem to solve:
In the current situation of growth of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, and other pollutants NOX, due to the combustion of fossil fuels for transport such as cars using the environment in cities can become unbearable, causing respiratory problems for the population, which sometimes must wear anti-pollution masks because particles suspended in the air.
The project is all about modifications to be done in an f1 car.
1.Innovative points of view:
-Using shock absorbers in inverted position which can be used as automatic jack & this will reduce the time taken for tire change during the race because this study will reduce the time of traveling for the hydraulic jacks they are using.
Most of the times people near the traffic signals wasting time because of the particular time is fixed in changing signal eventhough no one is moving. Hence by using the sensors (like SICK's mid range distance sensors-DL50 which are cheaper and accurate),
To improve the exoskeleton project
Abstract. This invention aims to help people who became paralytic after spinal cord injury to walk again using their arms (thanks to a robotic set attained to arms and legs). Remember at the beginning human being ancestors have been able to move by using synchronously their four legs. They were quadruped or quadrumane. Nowadays,
Made from the best grade stainless steel to bring you HOT water for all purposes anywhere you are. Camping, on the beach or on a construction site too easy.
Using stainless steel piping with a few welds this structure is strong and robust.
This is a model of a driver side panel for Indian trucks which has been done on CATIA to meet Indian truck needs of cabin variants.
The challenge to design the rear suspension of a rear wheel drive sports car has always been one of optimizing the position of both wheels and therefore the contact patch of the tires in order to obtain the maximum possible limit acceleration.
This project takes the active kinematics idea a step further, and for the first time,
Product Description
Rocken’s first innovative product is the world’s first helmet with a fully integrated visor capable of sealing against the face of the skier. When deployed within the field of view, the visor seals against the face to prevent cold wind from seeping in.
Contrarily to motorcycle helmets where the visor pivots on a single transversal axis,
