The brain is organized according to tracts, and damage to those tracts has been implicated in almost all neurological and psychiatric diseases. Neuromodulation can be done surgically (with deep brain stimulation) but this is invasive, expensive, and can only be done at one location at a time. Noninvasive neuromodulation is being done with electrical and magnetic fields,

Secure Wireless Sensor/SCADA reliability and thruput.
Secure Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition VPN for IOT Networking.
Provides people, computers, LANs, and IOT devices with on-demand wireless bus connectivity and secured connectivity for the first time.
Our project will provide an optimum solution to this drawback.
A crash sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash and we used a fire detection sensor for detecting fire accident. By monitoring the data from crash sensor and fire sensor if a severe accident can be detected,

Introducing gym equipment designed for those who want to flex/exercise while seating.
Flex'em is designed to offer the users a rhythmic range of movements that leads to an increase in heart rate, and in turn, helps you to burn calories through their purpose of movements. The scale of stress or 3 modes of flexes are - stretching (0-3),

Reducing cost is one of the important issues for every drone logistics companies. However, most drone logistics systems on the market are too costly to become widely used. Also, whether the drone can take off and land accurately is one of the issues to make drone logistics become widely used. Therefore,
Solar fixation of nitrogen and hydrogen is a means to make local producers independent of price movements in oil commodities. It allows producers to add nitrogen to their farm systems in a gaseous form in the ppm levels which increases yields as well the overall health of the farm.
OVERVIEW
This system works by disrupting the surface tension of water that 1, forms a wedge under a tire due to a combination of velocity and water depth on the road/runway surface (Dynamic Hydroplaning) and 2, aerosolizing the thin layer of water on oil film that forms on paved surfaces due to rubber deposited by tire contact and spin
A dual pitch counter rotating blade dual motor generator system comprises coaxially fitted shafts connected to two mechanically separate motor generators allowing for smooth operation resulting the cancelling effects of opposing moments of the counter rotating systems.
Our design takes advantage of our unique cogless switched reluctance rotors combined with counter-rotating blades,
