The emotional status of the brain is obtained by an EEG node connected to the neuron hub running out from Amygdala, the emotion deciding part of the brain. Electrode positioning at exact location is one of the major tasks. Instead of carrying entire equipment since we require only single node information,
Methods and Apparatus for Mitigating Space Debris with Autonomous SDCM's
New methods and apparatus comprising robust architectures capable of performing active or passive space debris collection/mitigation protocols are described. Systems for a solar-powered propulsion system used in combination with self-contained, remotely controlled space debris collection modules (SDCM’
ERALO-CA will be an international aviation procedure - law -infrastructure, supported by member States, ICAO, National Aviation Authorities (NAA) and the National Air Forces.
Helios Airways Flight 522 was a scheduled Helios Airways passenger flight that crashed into a mountain on 14 August 2005 at 12:04 pm EEST, north of Marathon and Varnavas, Greece, whilst flying from Larnaca,
The Energy conservation law is dependent on Noether's theorem. According to the Noether's theorem, the symmetry must be established for satisfying the conservation law. In other words, if symmetry breaking occurs, the breaking of the conservation law also occurs. Spontaneous symmetry breaking is occurred at phase transition. Namely, Breaking of the Energy conservation law is occurred at phase transition.
This dsPIC based Engine Control Unit (ECU) powered by LabVIEW can run any gasoline Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) Engine. The basic aim of this project is to develop an open source cheap ECU in order to enhance the Engine performance. In our country ie Pakistan complete automotive EFI engines along with ECUs are imported from developed countries.
The objective of this project is to provide the effects of using blend of Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) with diesel in proportion of 40 % by volume, with different mass shares of hydrogen supplementation, on the Performance, Combustion and Emission characteristics of a naturally aspirated, IDI CI engine. The experimental tests were recorded in five loading conditions (i.e., 20%,
The Alternator Recharger is a concept derived from the current working of the turbocharger.
The high amount of exhaust gases coming out of IC Engine are fed out of engine without any use.Today turbocharging is the method which uses these exhaust gases in some vehicles but not all.

Kyoto Juhkan Expressway (Kyoto) with porous asphalt (void ratio: 20%) was constructed using new concepts (Kyoto Specifications) in March 1989 in Japan. It has been kept maintenance free (no damage) for sixteen years in all sections (12.6 km). Fig. 1 shows the distribution of three dimensional cracks in Kyoto, together with conventional pavement. Fig.
The Field Trauma Kit for K-9 (‘FTK-9’) wound/paw injuries is designed to minimize trauma stop bleeding and enable field treatment of shallow and deep tissue (paws, legs, torso) injuries to MWD's (Military Working Dogs) and other service animals. Utilization mitigates trauma, preserves material asset (MWD), improves survivability and resilience of troop strength.
