The design entry is a 2 liter bottle that would replace the current cylindrically produced soda and liquid bottles that are manufactured and distributed worldwide. The premise is to shorten the recycling chain the bottles go through to be useful again and reduce waste.
The bottle has a square profile with interlocking tabs on all sides.
The brain harmonizer is a coil that might be plugged into several types of pulsed magnetic field generators. The simplest form of brain harmonizer consists of a coil large enough to go around the head and is powered by a blinking LED triggering a MOSFET. A nine volt battery supplies the current.
Today everywhere in the world use of mobile is increasing day by day because communication anywhere in the world is possible only in few seconds. In early days mobiles was used for calling and sending messages but now a mobile phone can do anything which a laptop or computer do.
We have designed a car seat by using Pro/E Software, later used analysis on it using Ansys 14.0. We have done study to Use Suction Pump on Seat Car as an alternative of Seat Belt and Air Bag that works during Accident or Crash in almost every ordinary , luxury car or Performance Car.

PROBLEM
Two common problems with turbocharging systems are noise and turbo lag. Closure, or partial closure, of the engine throttle while the turbo compressor is operating at high boost condition can causes excessive back pressure on the compressor creating a condition called surge. This pressure spike is damaging to the turbo bearings and compressor wheel and creates significant noise.
The PolyHitch standardized modular components can be assembled into tools or structures using, in most cases, a "Slide & Cross Hitch Pin (S&P)" assembly process. If attached to a vehicle, via the trailer hitch, the assembly (tool or structure) will be able to use the vehicle's mass as a solid anchor and, if structured properly, could also be mobile.
The Brewtube is a container for storing, transporting and dispensing home brew beer, craft beer, wine or other liquid contents for Tap delivery. It uses a sliding disc to create a variable volume container so that the contents are never exposed to the air during consumption. beer stays fresh during the entire usage. It is fully reusable,
Usually aircraft are designed and undergo different levels of stress analysis starting from conceptual design review, preliminary deign review, detail design review, validation loads, Ground test, flight test and entering into service. All these stages required multiple analyses and reviews depending on the types of loads coming out in each phase.
Due to the “Utilization Wall,” future CMOS technology calls for a radically new microprocessor architecture with less transistor switching, to take full advantage of both density and speed.
This is important not only for big many-core processors but also very small chips that are to be made in very large quantities,
