This was designed keeping the differently enabled people in mind. Objective of project is to design a new mechanism which climbs the stairs.
It works on the principle that on the rotation of a specially designed tri-axial frame the wheelchair climbs stairs without any external aid.
This entry presents the results obtained by an ethanol-diesel fueled compression ignition single cylinder engine by varying the compression ratio.
In this work, the compression ratio is varied from 18.5:1 to 19.5:1 and the injection pressure used is 255 bar.
This idea makes use of Adaptive Neural-Network Predictive Controllers (ANNPC) in conjunction with GPS signals to control the orbit and attitude of any type of Earth-orbiting spacecraft.
I had a skin allergy on the face, thighs and on the foot which started in 1989. Around 20 doctors failed in the diagnosis and the last I visited the doctor was in June 2002. Allopathy, Ayurvedic and Homeopathy medicines were tried and all were unsuccessful.
