To optimize a structure after a FEM analysis I think it needs to make a relaxing iteration of the mathematical array of equations first relaxing the length of the elements than the area of the section and returning to relaxing the length and the sections until the error between
In theory, the CVT is an ideal design, varying the transmission ratio continuously so that you can say it's an automatic transmission with no infinite number of ratios. Consequently, the best ratio can be chosen at any time to optimize performance and energy efficiency of both (motor car).
In this summary I try to briefly introduce the problem and a design for cheap photonic logic circuit proofing.
The problem.
Photonic Computing is the use of light to do computation. Via intensity modulating laser sources in order to get a binary representation of info onto a carrier.
Helium is very expensive to use in a dirigible and even in a larger balloon or a non-rigged air ship. Some of us even after all this time since the Hindenburg crashed in flames, consider hydrogen as being dangerous. This is a false reason about not using hydrogen.
The system presented here is destined for the transmission of information of automatic form, route repeater or satellite, (depending on the needs of the client), in case of:
• Collision
• Overturn
• Fire
• Theft of the vehicle
As complement to the previous thing,
The scarcity of water in many countries is very clear and some wars actually started for water. The most water-poor areas in the world have long hours of sunshine and good solar energy resource.
It is getting to be more and more of a significant problem for governments, industrials and the eco-system itself that known transportation systems do not provide the market between fast airplanes with small payloads and slow ships with weighty payloads. Without affecting the eco-system with harbors, rails,
• What problem does your design idea solve? Amblyopia.
Amblyopia (lazy eye) occurs when the brain does not fully acknowledge the images seen by the amblyopic eye, if one eye sees clearly and the other sees a blur, the good eye and brain will inhibit (block, suppress,
As per Federal Govt, the indoor air of any room is up to 50 times more contaminated when compared to outdoor park environment.
This is due to the fact that most homes are built air tight to have good insulation against cold winter. This means,
What problem does your design idea solve?
Reduce the number of people killed or injured by vehicles in the workplace. Prevent accidents, save lives, reduce injuries, reduce insurance expenses without increasing the vehicle operator workload.
How does your design work?
