The V2 Renal Denervation System™ is a paradigm shift in the treatment of high blood pressure. It performs a fast, one-time procedure called Renal Denervation (RD), clinically shown to alleviate hypertension. Used in hospital catheterization labs,
I have devised an Electroscope/ESD Device that detects valent electrons, and then "drains" the user of any differential voltage. This device should be used when working on electronics, in effect to show the user of any electric fields that might exist, along with eliminating the static charge.
HYDRODYNAMIC SUBMARINE
*It is an invention of most extreme simplicity.
*It consists only in a new design of the hull, which the shape is cylindrical and where the water is sucked in the prow, passing through internal side ducts and being expelled in the stern.
Energy Source Recapture
Intro Background
All types of waste energy exist in our current engineered systems. The efficiency for particular systems vary from fundamental physics driving ideal values, to physical make up losses from friction,
The idea is to provide lower installation cost and higher efficiency alternative to solar updraft tower.
As for updraft power plant generating ability depends primarily on the collector area (solar energy absorbed), the chimney height and air temperature difference.
Measuring very small angles with high precision from a distance on the order of meters or more, as is needed in applications such as calibrating coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), or aligning gravitational wave detector or particle accelerator components, currently requires the use of laser interferometry,
Did you ever want to play your favorite songs on a piano but did not find the correct notes? Did you ever want to learn music but never found time for it due to busy work schedule and other committments? No problem, because I have a solution.
Module Wheelchair
The project is intended for the disabled who want to live actively and independently. The main idea is the wheelchair improves their daily life as a part of their body not as heavy ballast.
This wheelchair consists of two mainly parts: seat module and wheels module.
Every year, about 250,000 cases of torn knee anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) happen in the US alone, and they all need reconstructive surgery and a long recovery time. In the NFL, they account for one in six injuries.
Chemical classification is an important operation for many industries. Typically, this is done with portable spectrometers that cost on the order of $5000. The data from portable spectrometers must be transported back to the lab to have post processing determine what the contents of the measurement were.
