Magnesium alloy is a very good candidate for replacing steel, ABS plastic, and aluminum currently used in automobile parts production. It is only two-thirds the weight of aluminum and one-fourth the weight of steel. It has excellent dampening capacity and has high dimensional stability. These properties allow for reduced weight of vehicles,

INTRODUCTION:
Autocollimators are devices which are based on the optical technique of projecting an illuminated reticule to infinity and receiving the reticule image after reflected upon by a flat mirror. The flat mirror is positioned along the specimen to be tested and is moved in increments along the entire length of the specimen .
Osteosynthesis procedures require the insertion of self-tapping orthopedic screws through bone plates and into one or two layers of cortical bone, in order to stabilize the fractured bones. Applying too much torque can cause the screw to strip and lose purchase, reducing the effective hold of the screw against the plate.

This system uses real time position of sun to track solar devices. it consist of
1) very fine pixeled solar cell panel of about 5*5 inches (from now called as PSCP). Size and pixel density will depend on accuracy required just similar to that of a camera.
2) an opaque object (called as OO)fixed rigidly ,
Riding a bicycle in snow is very difficult, as it cannot provide necessary traction to move. Hence, the cycle is specially designed to ride in snow. The front portion of the snow cycle consists of a skate board and the rear portion consists of a belt drive with small projections on the belt, to provide necessary traction.
Vertical Lift Aircraft Rotor Fault Detection is a process that uses rotor blade tracking revolution to revolution (rev-rev) data to identify faults and/or failures from the data stream.
Blade tracking takes data from the rotor system at very high speeds and typically averages the data stream to identify the relative blade height and lead lag for each blade.
