NASA’s Langley Research Center offers a novel lifting and precision positioning device with hybrid functional characteristics of both crane-type lifting devices and robotic manipulators. The design of the Lunar Surface Manipulation System (LSMS) allows for fine positioning with complete control over both translation and rotation of the payload.
Transformers are used throughout the world as a means of changing the AC supply voltage. However these are imperfect solutions as they have substantial no-load losses, are less efficient at both high and low loads, have significant regulation with load (and the line out follows input line changes),
Contemporary conception of “ecologically clean” vehicle (ECV) is based on minimization of harmful substances (HS) emission to the atmosphere. However, at present, the improving of the air quality inside a car compartment (CC) is a more priority task. Modern cabin filters do not clean air from nitrogen oxides,
NASA seeks to license its Layered Composite Insulation (LCI) technology for use in commercial applications. Designed by the Cryogenics Test Laboratory at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida,
NASA seeks to license a patented non-toxic environmentally safe flame suppressant. The technology was developed at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to replace KSCs current halon flame suppressants. Unlike halon, this invention is not only non-toxic but also does not deplete the ozone,
The clutch is one of the most important components used for gear shift and forward-reverse direction change in a transmission system. Conventional clutches in automatic transmissions for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, tractors, construction vehicles, etc.
PlaxiGUARD PC32 is a special design idea aimed specifically to provide a solution for protection against flood or for controlling its adverse effects as much possible. The current solutions such as sand bags, temporary embankments etc.
Abstract: At present, there does not exist in the market a low orbit, generic and inexpensive platform from which to conduct scientific research of the upper atmosphere. Such a platform has to have instrumental flexibility and a reliable communications link,
