With the Supreme Court's recent upholding of National Health Care, and the possibility that medical attention could be severely restricted or even withheld – options are essential. Now is the time to introduce a Quantum Leap in health care.
Quicken® Joint Lubrication has been found to relieve arthritis pain,
Object recognition and identification via the use of passive microwave molecular electro emissions quadro filler circuit scanner holographic spectrum analysis of phonon resonance modulation of matter scanned using x y z spatialization, a 1 plus 4 times five scanning array, based on using novel non linear coherence crystal technology.
The increasing technological developments have called for increasing production of equipment governed by micro-processors and micro-controllers as part of the strategy of counting. In the field of micro-processor RISC & CISC technologies are the bases for the development of any calculation involving equipment such as PCs, Smartphones, ATMs and any embedded computing. However,
Overall the C-Sight visual prosthesis is based on optic nerve stimulation with a penetrating electrode array. The goal of the project is to produce a feasible and realiable, low-cost solution to those with visual impairment. The feasibility of this concept was demonstrated with the results of the animal experiments.
Technology Potential:
This project is a potential power distribution improvement on a Global scale. This technology is capable of being applied in the massive electrical/electronic industries as a cheaper alternative to the existing sources of semiconductors like hydrogenated amorphous silicon and mixtures of arsenic, selenium , tellurium,germanium, gallium arsenide, and silicon carbide.
A simple way to improve fuel economy for all vehicles would be to time the traffic signals so that cars and trucks traveling at the posted speed limit would pass through one green light after another during the commute. Besides conserving fuel, other benefits would be shorter commute times and safer intersections.
“Algae infusion into catalytic convertors of the car’s vehicle exhaust system”
There are millions of vehicles on the road in the world, and each one is a source of air pollution. Especially in large cities,
We already have the tools to prevent another accident like Air France 447. Lidar or laser radar true airspeed meters are in use at university wind tunnels, National Center for Atmospheric Research and NASA wind tunnels.The problem that my idea will solve is the mis-
interpretation of the direction of the relative wind.
