With recreational camping becoming more and more extreme, so are the risks. As campers extend their treks into unexplored terrain, a wide variety of things can effect the safety of their trip.
The Live Information Bus Stop (LIBS) keeps people up-to-date on the location of their bus. By using location tracking (GPS), any bus system could signal all equipped bus stops with the current position of buses that frequent any given stop. Since they use little energy,
Aivaka has created the Thermo-Charge System. This is an energy harvesting system that creates electric power from the difference between human body temperature and outside air.
The Baumann Strain Gage Grid™ (BauSGG™) will be used to continuously monitor the safety of reinforced concrete bridge structures.
In the recent past, concrete bridges in the U.S. and elsewhere have collapsed causing deaths and great financial loss and interruption of transportation systems.
The Baumann Green Floor™ (BauGF™)
The proprietary Baumann Green Floor™ (BauGF™) is designed to take advantage of what is called the “thermal flywheel effect of concrete.”
Concrete has the ability to efficiently store thermal energy, and then later, efficiently release this energy.
Air stream a wide, fast stream laminar flow turbulent-exit machine.
The air at the front of the device it ionized by electrodes that extend into the airflow area to begin the flow.
The energy supply of today is based on the use of fossil fuels despite their large environmental impact and the stocks of fossil fuels are diminishing.
Robotic surgery is showing many disruptive advantages for several surgical procedures and is marking the steps for the future of minimally invasive surgery, especially in laparoscopy (e.g. the daVinci system from Intuitive Surgical).
CONCEPT SUMMARY:
The new concept is protective film or wrap that can be treated with deterrent chemicals to limit or eliminate destructive pet behavior. The new invention protects the surfaces in two ways. The first is to provide a physical barrier between the pet and surface.
High Plains Technology Group was formed to develop new equipment for orthopedic medicine. We polled a number of orthopedic surgeons and asked them to pose their most difficult problem. The vast majority described problems with surgical fasteners.
