Oozy Eggs - The first scented bath toy that entertains, excites, teaches, and softens skin for kids!
Background of the Invention:
Children have always been notorious for avoiding bathing and spending any large amounts of time in the bath. They are quick to be done if there is nothing there to keep there active imaginations focused.
There is a shift to better pollution control norms in the automotive sector. To address this issue in diesel vehicles & trucks, it is essential that the fuel tanks used are of non shedding type & this invention focuses on large roto moulded fuel tanks made out of plastic.

Impetus & Energy From the Isotropic Radiation
Pressure of the Electromagnetic Quantum Flux
NASA's Breakthrough Physics Propulsion Program1 stated that the vast energy of Einstein's Nullpunktenergie-the Zero Point Energy field of the Quantum Vacuum might one day be harnessed to provide energy as well as Massless Propulsion. Could the solution to the World's energy problems,
Well-known are Atkinson and Miller cycles. These are cycles with varying compression and expansion ratios. Application of these cycles makes it possible to use working gas energy to a fuller extent.
Suggested herein is a different operation mode of a Diesel engine with varying compression and expansion ratios,
Studies at UC-Davis in 2007 have demonstrated that parasitic infestation(s) are a contributing factor in the onset of ‘Colony Collapse Disorder’ in honeybee populations, natiowide. According to the USDA, domestic honey production is off by 16% for the year 2012. CCD and recalcitrant infestations by the varroa mite (V.
The aim of this project is to attempt to resolve problem of stair climbing for above-knee amputees by developing a new type of intelligent prosthesis. By resolving the stair climbing problem, many other problems that the amputees are facing in everyday life (e.g.: stepping over any obstacle) would be resolved at the same time.
The back end of a Semi Trailer, in motion, creates a low pressure condition increasing the drag of the complete unit resulting in a fuel economy reduction. The length of the overall vehicle prohibits the addition of air deflectors to partially reduce this condition. While several attempts have been made to reduce this condition,
Hydrodynamically speaking, screw propellers of conventional marine propulsions represent vortex systems rotating in transverse to the flow plane that generates periodic impulses of pressure in water and this way create underwater acoustic field being used for detection and identification of ships.
