Original Optical Fiber Core Networks were built along Interstate Highway routes, railway rights of way and in some cases long haul fiber optic infrastructure conduits were built in trenches that also contained natural gas pipelines. Since pipelines can corrode and even explode, that can endanger the reliability of the US vital long-haul fiber optic infrastructure,
Our mission. Water and Food for ALL!
IGP’s innovative approach created a completely new category in Fashion Plumbing. Solving the low flow dilemma at its source, the Epiphany™! 1000 DFO addresses the biggest indoor use of water; showers! Without requiring changes in user habits or performance expectations, the DFO™ provides immediate,
Nearly 7 billion hours of delay and more than 3 billion gallons of fuel were wasted in 2015 due to traffic congestion in the U.S., a significant portion of which is due to delays at traffic signals. Researchers at the University of California at Riverside, the Federal Highway Administration, and Leidos, Inc. have developed “GlidePath”,
The Fractal Orifice Plate US9278362 is a platform technology upon which novel nozzle geometries for advanced fluid dynamics and spray applications are based. It is designed to produce a large class of non-canonical turbulent flows that can be tailored to specific applications based on a few simple parameters. Subsequently,

The idea of building a modular construction system came to me when I saw various news channels stating many tragedies had been produced following the collapse of buildings due to occurrence of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, storms and so on.
The constructions I propose have the following advantages:
- Can be realized at any mechanical strength,
The M249 SAW and most other light machine guns (LMG) currently fielded by military’s around the world are outdated. Originally manufactured in the early '80's, their limitations such as painstakingly slow reload times, unreliable feeding mechanisms, lack of modularity, and cumbersome design make them inadequate for today's face paced and fluid battlefields. Despite these drawbacks,
One key issues regarding coffee production is the bean selection process, which is a tedious task that nowadays is often manually done. Since traditional selection techniques are based on size and density, most of them do not consider faded, mottled, and blotchy beans. However, beans with these characteristics should be discarded because they affect coffee quality.
