People who travel for business often have the need to send and receive fax documents when away from the office. “Fax by email” services may satisfy this need in some locations, but the hazards of finding an appropriate Internet signal make this solution unsatisfactory in many places.
PROBLEM
People problematically procrastinate too much on their phones which can be disruptive to their lives. Being slaves to these devices creates Stockholm syndrome. Who is really in control?
American weapons sometimes fall into the hands of our enemies. Whether this is a jet, a tank, a howitzer, a truck, a Stinger missile, a TOW missile, a Javelin missile, a JDAM, a machine gun, a battlefield laser, a night vision system, or a bomb, etc.,
Flying Wind Turbine
An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine with a rotor supported in the air without a tower, thus benefiting from more mechanical and aerodynamic options, the higher velocity and persistence of wind at high altitudes,
Hybrid vehicle of series-parallel type may have dual mode to improve performances and energy efficiency. Unfortunately, the shifting of the mode may involve complications with additional planetary gears, friction clutches and complex control system.
Here after, a special dog clutch can avoid such complexities and in addition,
Bone anchored hearing systems are a reality in today's world and the need for them is proven by a commercially viable patient base. However, although osseous integration is largely successful not only in anchored hearing devices but even more extensively in dental implants,
Air conditioning is one of the energy hogs around. If you live in Texas, you spend an extra 150$ a month in the summer months, for a 2500. sq ft. home, on cooling.
This project is a way to reduce or eliminate that bill.
RANGE DETECTION CAMERA
The Range Detection Camera (RDC) can measure the distance from each pixel to the point on the object that is in focus at the pixel. Each pixel has both light intensity and range information. There is no stereoscopic effect involved.
It is the intersection of a cube and a sphere, a three dimensional sine wave, a pattern found all throughout the world. At high speed a traditional wheel suffers from the effect known as “speed wobble”
