Every year chemical manufacturing companies spend millions of dollars and thousands of man hours attempting to increase safety and prevent dangerous chemical leaks and accidents. Regardless of these efforts, dangerous chemical leaks still occur. The US Chemical Safety Board, an independent federal agency that investigates chemical accidents,
Millions of endoscopy surgeries are performed each year in the US, with even more performed internationally. Endoscopy has advanced rapidly in the last twenty years. However, little progress has been made towards the development of a 3D endoscope system, even decades after they have been proposed in scientific literature.
Magnetic assemblies, for switching power excitation, using Sector Torus Core sections, in conjunction with round rod core sections,and two layer coherent windings, can weigh half as much, cost half as much, and have half the energy losses, when compared to assemblies in current production. Typical magnetic assemblies include Inductors,
What if sensors, meters, instruments were just Apps instead of single purpose, bulky, expensive equipment? Sensordrone is a first step towards making this a reality.
Mobile computing is the way of the future, but most sensor products have not kept up, and are still very expensive and bulky.
We come up with the solution of facilitating patients, doctors, and medical organizations by means of an application. Our product (i.e. HealShare) enables medical checkup summaries, test reports, and previous records to come online enabling global access of patient’s records across doctors, and organizations.
Currently airplane boarding procedures are based on zones prescribed from the type of airfare purchased. Other than first-class, special needs, or families, this is largely unnecessary and creates frustration when dozens or hundreds of passengers try to board, stow their bags,
Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is a sudden and difficult-to-predict severe degradation mode of failure of nuclear, petrochemical, and other industries. This is a development proposal for a very important model´s improvement. This is the slip-step dissolution and film rupture model,
It appears that the medical products presently available to patients lack a critical energy source.
This is very true for Insulin Pump wearers. If the batteries should go bad, there is no backup available until the user can get new ones.
Electronic generator-sea waves energy converter
The movement of large masses of water waves,contain large amounts of kinetic energy.Low speed (frequency) waves is a problem for efficient use-conversion of kinetic energy into electrical energy.Electronic generator solves the problem!
This invention would assist farmers recover parts of their fields that have flooded. Often, only pumps will drain low lying areas, but these are capital intensive and energy intensive. This idea would consist of a metal framework that has a cloth or plastic mesh stretched across it.
