Dynamo High-Tech Highways:
The main aim of this "Dynamo High-tech highways" is to generate the power through high speed air flow striking the turbine of the generator placed on the dividers of the highways, where the high speed air flow is caused by fast moving vehicles passing through.
Busy streets with speeding vehicles and blaring noise is a typical image of the automobile revolution. With increasing vehicular population, particularly two wheelers which are more vulnerable to accidents, there is increasing demand for the safety of both man and machine. More than 1000 people die every day because of accidents all over the world. One such case,
Coir pith is the corky material found between the fibres in the husk of a coconut. The coconut husk goes to fibre mills where the coir fibre is extracted. The by-product of this process is coir pith. For many years coir pith was the waste product
of the extraction process and was dumped outside of coir fibre mills.
Vehicles on road are driven by the power delivered by the engine, which intern is limited by the Road Loads acting over the vehicle under driven state. Most common Loads are Aerodynamic and Rolling resistance.
By using the same concept for braking we can also improve the active safety systems in a vehicle.
The invention concerns a land vehicle positioning system (called LVPS) used in the land transporting mobile machines, such as cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, trains, bicycles for navigation and determining the current geographic position of the vehicle.
There are different positioning systems based on the receipt of radio signals from different transmitters such as satellites (GPS, Galileo, COMPASS), beacons (LPE),
The inventor of this device, Akintunde M Lawal has been granted utility patent number GM/P/2012/0003 in this regard by the Gambia Intellectual Property Office, West Africa.
Gears are rotatable mechanical devices with cut teeth.
Nebulization therapy is an efficient method of administering drugs which revolutionized the treatment of respiratory disorders such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The demand for efficient and controlled operation of the nebulization process with Microelectronics has driven to fundamental changes in nebulizer technologies.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION -
The project undertaken precisely aims at improving blind spot visibility. We basically concentrated our research on A- pillar of the car chassis over the driver side which tends to block away sizable vehicles, when one’s car reaches an intersection.
A two wheeled vehicle such as bicycle and motorcycle tilt in the turn to counter the centrifugal forces acting on the vehicle, while other vehicles including three wheeler, motorcar and quad bike rolls slightly out of the turn. This increases load on outer wheels and limits the velocity of turning of vehicle.
Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology has been proven in the commercial sector since the early 1990’s. Today’s rapid advancement in mobile telephone reliability and power management capabilities exemplifies the effectiveness of the SDR technology for the modern communications market. In contrast, transponder technology foundations presently qualified for satellite applications were developed during the 1960's space program.
