Story behind this idea:
One day, my daughter was coming from school and said, dad our teacher told us we will need a germicidal lamp to decrease spread of diseases across our class and parents should look around and pick one for us.
The miniature Laser to Fiber connector was developed to fit a requirement for data storage and retrieval utilizing a back-scatter technique. The access arm necessarily had to have the least weight and volume dedicated to the optical components. In addition, due to confined space,
Autokinetics AK12EV Ultralight Electric Bus
The concept for this advanced bus design originated with two small grants from the US Department of Energy, and culminated in the fabrication of a proof of concept prototype. A next generation, production ready design is currently under way.
The AK12EV features a low floor architecture from front to rear,
Nowadays, there are many things that disturb driver attention which is one of the causes of car accident such as cell phone calls, eating food, and drinking, especially when those things became difficult to get and use.
For that reason it's very important to minimize this distractions by changing behavior inside the car while driving.
In our project, we propose an innovative software solution to the problem of electrical arcing risk prediction in high-voltage on-board electronic equipment intended for long-term self-contained use, like spacecraft conditions. As modern on board equipment is not vacuumed the appearance of arcing leads to considerable damages due to high energetic output from arcs. In spacecraft,
The robotics world has reached a stage where the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) industry is very well established with thousands upon thousands of ROVs having been created and deployed since the dawn of this industry. The need for autonomy in robots and vehicles, however, is becoming more and more a prevalent issue in many situations and environments worldwide.
We designed a flashlight with the idea of attaching it like a GoPro to surfaces and move seamlessly between the mounts for hands-free use, while making it a flashlight that was practical and easy to use with one hand or while attached to a mount.
In my project my intention is to create a 3D virtual human anatomy that a medical student can use to earn dissection. If they make a mistake, press a virtual button and a different body appears, so that's why they could dissect again. You could do many times as you want. No harm to anybody,
