This system is designed to solve the very problem of the still missing Malaysian Airline Flight MH-370, and few more recent incidents such as Air Asia lost its contacts a few days ago but fortunately its traces were found.
This system has a built-in satellite telephone system, from very reliable satellite system provider, Inmarsat,
Basic limitation of Traditional (Open) Differentials is accompanied with their large masses and costs. This limits use of differentials to the places, only where either requirement is must or economy is not a problem. However use of differential is to fulfill the need of relative angular speed between wheels on same axle.

The advantages of this engine are that it is simple in design, easy and economical to manufacture, and has a lower parts count. In addition, it has low weight per horsepower output, it is compact, indifferent to overload and stall, and can be adapted to diesel, gasoline, natural gas, air or steam configurations.
Problem of existing system: There is no detection mechanism of inefficient braking in the existing system. The vehicle moving with higher speed and having inefficient braking cannot be stopped within a considerable distance and time, which may eventually lead to road accident. According to research done by RASSI (JP Research India) ,
SpeedoMAX relates to a height adjustable speed bump that is designed specifically for controlling the speed of vehicles as well as an entry barrier when used for blocking restricted areas. It comprises a portable body which can be elevated depending upon the usage as a speed bump or a barrier and can be set up or removed easily.
Commercial air travel is thriving today, thanks to general aviation (GA). Most commercial pilots are trained in GA airplanes, and most innovations originate in GA's experimental aircraft, years ahead of certified aircraft.
The next major shift in aviation is electric flight.
My invention one important to my life my family and to all people believe the words of freedom, and Love and Peace. All of this the design the song all are coming to my real hearth.

Replacement hip joints typically use a dense plastic insert as a lubricant to avoid
metal-to-metal wear and associated particulate contamination in the bloodstream,
which can cause severe toxic reactions in some users. In this system, a resonant
module containing a quartz or ceramic resonator is installed across the joint ball and
socket components by electrically conductive leads.
