If you have three contacts for monovision, you need this invention!
As a person ages, the lens inside his/her eyes loses elasticity and is no longer able to focus on images, such as printing, up close. Traditionally, this condition, called presbyopia, has been corrected by wearing reading glasses, or for those people who also need correction for distance,
The domestic pressure cooker is one of the essential cooking utensils in the Indian kitchens. In the domestic pressure cooker, the whistling indicates the status of the cooking food. The domestic pressure cooker need to be in observation to hear the sound of the whistling. Once the whistling sound is missed to hear,
The objective of the project is to help the physically challenged persons having both hand and leg impairments so that they can operate their bed and its movements through their voice commands.
Quadriplegia is paralysis caused by illness or injury to a human that results in the partial or total loss of use of all their limbs.
Brake is a necessary part in any vehicle. In general, the essential break pad attributes are low compressibility, good resistance to severe temperatures, and good resistance to abrasion. The constituents of the brake pads should guarantee the required properties of the frictional material in the braking systems. The constituents of a brake pad are divided into following categories: binder,
The Carplane® is a bi-modal air/road convergence vehicle, currently under construction at the Research Airport in Braunschweig, Germany.
Its primary market is the BRICS countries where inadequate road infrastructure and traffic congestion impede individual transport. Just like emerging economies solved their communications challenges by installing cheap transmission masts (rather than costly land-lines), the Carplane® uses easily-cleared,
The project focus was to develop next-generation solid-sphere prillings that have secondary and tertiary matrixes comprised of microcrystalline hydrocarbon nano particles for use as an advanced hybrid rocket fuel based on liquid layer hybrid combustion theory. We produced prillings in sizes ranging from .25um to 8000um using synthetic PCM's that are highly stable.
Of major concern to food producers is the waste of costly spices and flavorings lost and non-recoverable during the manufacturing process. In the cooking/packaging processes spices/flavorings are sprayed onto products such as potato chips, corn chips or cookie-bars in liquified or aerosolized form.
The structure of a spacecraft is designed to support the maximum quasi-static loads (accelerations) that it will be subjected to during its launch phase. These loads are a combination of the steady-state static loads and low frequency sinusoidal loads.
Quasi-static loads can be used to dimension the spacecraft,
POWERino is a comprehensive system of control and enforcement power.
It 'was designed with the need to have a single deviceequipped with a microcontroller (DSP) of the power amplifier and compact size to adapt to any type of application from domestic to industrial.
Equipped with Bluetooth expansion integrates with smartphones (Android & iPhone).
