NASAs Kennedy Space Center has developed a novel method for the in situ removal of PCBs found in sediment systems. The technology consists of a redeployable polymer blanket that attracts and absorbs PCBs. Seeking to avoid the pitfalls of current methods for handling PCB-contaminated sediments,
NASAs Kennedy Space Center has developed a novel ruggedized housing for an electrical or fluid umbilical connector that prevents intrusion of dust, sand, dirt, mud, and moisture during field use under harsh conditions. The technology consists of a pair of hand-sized protective umbilical interface housings,
Power Module, the electric drive powered laser beam is based on my patent - Fiber Photovoltaic Cell.
The module is built from multiple Fiber Photovoltaic Cells, arranged in parallel in the form of three-dimensional example cuboid.
Sleeved Shock Absorber
The concept here is to have a shock absorber that is simple to manufacture and yet can have a variable area orifice for a desired fluid restriction along the entire travel of the piston.
As apart of our final year project, our team is working to set up vertical axis wind turbines(VAWT) along sides of railway tracks. We intend to utilize the gust of wind produced by trains moving by to move these vertical axis wind turbines and generate electricity.
Present day cars include a ton of features for safety like airbags, ABS, ESP, to name a few. All these are electronic controlled as they receive their signals from external environment through various sensors placed on the body, for example cameras, lasers, proximity sensors, etc.
NASA’s Langley Research Center developed a new technique that enables the preparation of metal/composite hybrid laminates, also known as fiber-metal laminates (FML), through a one-step processing method.
NASA’s Langley Research Center has developed a novel method of depositing metal and metal oxide nanoparticles onto various substrates (see ACS Nano, 3(4), 871–884 [2009]). It is rapid, scalable, and green since it does not require reducing agents or solvents.
The CertAlert Pendant makes it impossible for the wearer to forget to take their medication! It's also easy to use, attractive, and it's affordable.
The pendant alarms at the time medications are to be taken.
NASA’s Langley Research Center has developed a synthetic 3D visualization flight display, which presents flight data information in an intuitive way using 3D computer graphic capabilities. The flight crew can preview and rehearse flight maneuvers in a realistic environment.
