A particle accelerator and containment vessel for anti-matter, specifically anti-iron.
The shape of the accelerator is that of a trefoil. An even distribution of particles along the containment path must be maintained. The total mass of the stream and its speed of traverse determine the strength and scope of the anti-Higgs field.
See Patent #9,175,641.
This invention is an internal combustion engine which uses "stratified compression" to compress air in an elongated cylinder, the Compression Chamber, without the use of a piston. The invention relies on the phenomenon of an explosion at one end of an long cylinder will compress the air in that cylinder to the opposite end.
Electric vehicle charging stations are very low in quantities and locations all over the USA. Many of these charging stations are only for specific vehicles such as Tesla Vehicles. However, other non- Tesla electric vehicles could not have access to these charging stations because of the inlet plugs and the outlet cables being different.
Disease State: High blood pressure affects 1 billion individuals globally and more than 80 million in the US. Hypertension is the leading risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Nearly 70% of all healthcare expenditures ($170 B) in the US are spent managing complications resulting from uncontrolled blood pressure. Notably,

Our research and personal experiences in rural India gave a common insight; where all the underserved area in India are facing poor road condition and connectivity issues. Hence no medical accessibility during emergency. These lead to other social issues. The underserved region majorly consists of the farmers.
The rudimentary basis for understanding any air conditioning, dehumidification and evaporative cooling is psychrometrics. Psychrometry consists of the interactions between heat, moisture and air. It is basically the study of air-water mixtures and is an essential foundation for understanding how to change air from one condition to another. As air temperature rises,
