With the success of “New Space” companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, there is a renewed interest in low-cost private launch systems and space exploration in general. Governmental space agencies, especially NASA, are working in partnership with emerging private companies. Yet the barrier to entry has now shifted to the requirement to be an Internet billionaire. Mr.
Our team has developed a thin film technology of amorphous carbon nitride, and applied it in the field of infrared optical lenses to provide protection for infrared optical lenses. Long-term research and test proved that the technology can provide effective protection for the infrared optical lens in the conditions of high temperature, high humidity, low temperature,
The automotive industry faces many challenges, including increased global competition, the need for higher-performance vehicles, a reduction in costs and stringent environmental and safety requirements. The materials used in automotive engineering play key roles in overcoming these issues: ultimately lighter materials mean lighter vehicles and lower emissions.
1.6 Billion of people live in substandard housing. Let's be honest: corrugated shacks that get blown away with a 25 mph wind aren't the best place to raise a family. These so called homes are in disaster areas and in countries less fortunate. Most people don't have a choice.

My design is of an aircraft named LA-95, which is constructed from an alloy of Lithium and Aluminum and has a double turbo fan system, along with Pratt and Whitney F119 engine network. Below mentioned, in detail are some of the changes designed which are developed differently from other jet engines to enable faster means of travel.
This mobile application alarms the user when an earthquake is happening in real time. In that way, the user has knowledge of an earthquake even if he is sleeping. Also, many scientists agree that before a massive earthquake some minor occur. This application can inform the user of a similar situation.
This innovative application is an easy, free,
DIRECT LINEAR TO ROTARY DRIVE SYSTEM (DL2R)
THIS INVENTION PROVIDES A MEANS OF TRANSFERRING LINEAR MOTION INTO ROTARY MOTION IN AN ORDERLY FACTION WHERE THE OUTPUT IS CONSTANT, AND NOT ATTENUATED BY POWER LOSSES AND FLUCTUATIONS.
Put simply, there is not enough drinking water to go around. The causes are well known; groundwater reserves are becoming saline and contaminated, urbanisation is increasing, populations are growing and industrial activity is competing for natural water supplies. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF) a global water crisis is the greatest resource threat humanity is facing today.
Textiles made of glass fibre yarn are used in various industrial applications, such as furnishing fabrics, as reinforcement in composite materials and as a building material. Printed circuit boards as used in electronics industry require high mechanical strength and dimensional stability, glass fabric reinforced composites are ideal for this type of application.
