Designing a vehicle tracking system which can work effectively, accurately and reliably is emerging in many areas. Such a system commonly uses GPS technology to determine location of the vehicle.
This device uses water and brushes to clean shoes. You place your shoe in the device and turn the water on and then move your shoe from front to back to clean the bottom and sides of the shoe.
Now is the time to build new infrastructure and transform the way we travel. Engineers are creating autonomous self-driving vehicles that could produce a transit service that is convenient and low-cost. Combine that with the emergence of electric vehicles of all types,
The Fetal Brain Oxygen Monitor is a medical diagnostic instrument that measures oxygen levels in the fetal brain during labor. The instrument is a photo-acoustic instrument that delivers data via lasers to and from the fetal brain using "laser microphone" technology.
It is a fact that in today’s world people are more frequently shifting their focus to battery-based appliances. As we all know, the battery life is limited, thus creating many problems in everyday life. Understanding the importance,
Every year 10 million people die from cancer, 6.8 million die from neurological disorders, and half a million die from neglected tropical diseases. Although there are tremendous advancements being made in these fields every day, there's still a dire need for better, cheaper, and more accessible treatments.
Patients with Parkinson's disease or Essential Tremor commonly experience uncontrollable tremor in the hands. These symptoms range from bothersome to debilitating and their occurrence is frequent and unpredictable. Usually the patients are otherwise fully functional but their abilities to use their fingers in critical tasks, such as writing, typing,
Our long-term goal is to develop home-based wearable technology solutions to detect and monitor health conditions indicated by disease-specific biomarkers from the saliva in real-time. Disease prevention is the secret to longevity. A healthy lifestyle combined with disease prevention can protect, promote,
The current invention proposes novel, improved designs for high pulse energy transverse discharge gas lasers such as excimer lasers. The new designs provide an annular gain path, capitalizing on grazing incidence reflections from laser electrode surfaces and enabling the engineering of very low inductance electric discharge circuits,
Vegetable oils are abundant and not very expensive renewable raw materials. Soybean oil is one of the most attractive. More than 20 billion pounds of soybean oils are produced annually in the United States. Less than 600 million pounds of them are used for industrial application.
