Introduction
Imagine that a light goes along with you, and that is always on the place where you really need it. This principle not only reduces power consumption, but also gives the impression of interactivity. Moreover, during the night, lighting fixtures provides accent decorative illumination just like a runway but in green. All major parameters are remotely adjustable,
SLITHER
The surface of rivers has been used for transportation since man first appeared on this planet.
Slither is a way to utilize the space and energies available under the surface of rivers to significantly expand freight transportation in a green fashion.
Slither is a continuous underwater freight forwarding system, floating inches from the bottom of the river,
A tractor-trailer coupling mechanism for a powered tow vehicle and unpowered trailer vehicle which eliminates jack-knifing. The coupling includes at least one extension or more between the tractor and the trailer which slides into a receptor channel in the powered vehicle, with a locking arrangement at the front of the tractor. There are alternate attachments,
The aim of the project is to show that applying additional renewable energy sources, e.g. wind turbines and photovoltaic cells, for supplying the elevator drives and auxiliary circuits (control and illumination) leads to considerable reduction of operation costs and increases the reliability.
This new solution,
Method of the invention is aimed at manufacturing track membranes. A track membrane is a thin polymer film with through pores which are formed by penetrating a special substance into and through the material of a polymer plate and then removing the traces of penetrated particles from the matrix material thus forming pores.
In modern wideband receivers one of basic element is ADC,working in undersampling mode or direct RF digitizing
Main imperfections these of modes:
1.Result undersampling is appearance a few digital images of signal,what require application complex filters.
2.Direct digitizing RF/IF require clock generators with minimum jitter and application DDC.
3.Wideband in these receivers limited exemplarily 10-20%RF.
1. Purpose of the compensator
Low efficiency of existing electrical grid consists in too big energy losses and low power quality at all levels of the grid. It is estimated that 90% of grid disturbances are provoked by voltage sags and interruptions of duration less than one second.
A MULTI-TOUCH SOFTWARE THAT TURNS YOUR PICTURES, VIDEOS AND DOCUMENTS INTO INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES.
Touchtech Lima is a premium multi-touch software solution. It is designed for multi-touch table and wall displays to create interactive presentations using your existing files (pictures, videos, and documents etc). Touchtech Lima makes interacting with your digital content fun and easy for everyone!
A device for transferring resonant magnetic energy between a source of current and the human body.
This is a compact device which serves to provide a localized application of magnetic energy to electrically-charged tissues, calibrated to the characteristic frequency of the user by coupling through the magnetic potential of the body.
Smart Speed limit Display (SSD.Display safety speed limit information to passing drivers. SSD has build in sensors which working on the specific preprogrammed traffic algorithms to calculate the safe speed by detecting number of cars, road driving condition, cars speed, car breaks lights and time of day. The front sensor will calculate information of the incoming traffic.
