Simplicity is a new spinal tap kit that utilizes a two-part system to improve the accuracy and accessibility of the spinal tap procedure while simultaneously reducing patient pain/discomfort during and after the procedure. The first part of Simplicity is a dual-needle lumbar puncture device which consists of an introducer needle/base, a stylet,
Pressurized Sports Helmet
When a sports helmet can “take a hit” but the encased brain suffers trama it is clear that force dissipation is not adequately assigned.
Renewable energy developers face many challenges today. Three main challenges are: (1) no power grid in the vicinity, (2) no willing utility to buy that energy, (3) prohibitive stabilization costs of unstable renewable energy.
This Spinal Injury Protector for fighter aircraft ejection seats is meant for the protection of fighter pilot (usually military) from serious spinal injury during an emergency evacuation. This Spinal Injury protector is a portable light-weight and ready to use add-on seat bottom assembly suitable to fit all ejection seats.
Why this Spinal Injuries Protector is developed?
We have designed a line of small bore hydraulic cylinders. The one shown has a .375 bore and a 2.500 stroke. The cylinders are made in the U. S. A. and are all Stainless Steel. The hoses and fittings are off the shelf #3 A & N JIC. They use standard hydraulic fluid.
We propose the new damper concept VZN –Variable Zeta after Necessities, Zeta being the relative damping changing stepwise according piston position, correlated thus with the vehicle load state and the road unevenness amplitude.
VZN main differences comparative to standard dampers are:
It has no valves in piston
Valve body has only filling valve on rebound,
Is a fact that Earth is entering in a space where the asteroid activity is increasing, and some meteorites that were not detected at the time have passed very close to Earth (luckily), or in the worst case hit the planet causing more than 1000 deaths (Russia incident).
Water seems like it’s all around us, right? But the truth is, it’s not available everywhere. Water is the one essential of every community and every single life depends on it. That’s why when typical well pumps cannot perform, The Well Dr. succeeds. Using a proprietary algorithm developed by Luke Miller, The FPGA Expert,
LIGHTER AND BETTER BUCKET
The payload capacity of a wheel loader is directly related to the weight and volume of its bucket, by reducing the weight of bucket,the payload capacity is increased and can handle more cargo, using same amount of fuel.
A lighter and better bucket has been designed, which is eco-friendly,
