Torch-It is technical, economical, smart solution for visually impaired people. It is device which detects the obstacles in their path while walking. It is like a virtual cane (stick).
The Problem:
1. Patient bed care (for the temporary or permanently bedridden) is a significant problem in Health Care and the Home Care Industry. Tasks that require positional changes often put both the patient and caregiver at risk of pain and injury.
2. High cost of care for the bedridden.
3. Shortage of nursing personnel worldwide.
Metamaterials are artificial materials, engineered to have properties not found in nature. Metamaterials with negative parameters, such as permittivity, permeability, refractive index etc, were developed to enable unique and useful structures such as Mu-Negative Metamaterials (MNG), Epsilon-Negative Metamaterial (ENG),
Shark is my fresh take on conventional street bikes.
The idea is to make them more maneuverable and agile in turns so that the user doesn't have to give away the pedal force s/he has already built up when entering corners.
How?
By allowing the rear wheel rotation perpendicular to the ground....
The Hyper4 improves the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines by up to 75% (as reflected by Simulink Matlab and Converge CFD modelling software), approaching 50% brake thermal efficiency in a unique, compact axial design that is both straightforward and inexpensive to manufacture. Unlike a standard inline engine, the incorporation of constant volume combustion,
The act of carrying heavy things in the home; whether furniture, groceries, trash or 5 gallon water containers, is universal. Often forcing families and individuals to make special arrangements to deal with the logistics of this issue, including leaving such tasks to the more fit individuals of the family, getting outside help or avoiding it altogether.
We propose a non-contact tire pressure reader using a smartphone, based on our patent of visible light to camera communication (US 8,971,715). The information is coded in the LED blinking light emission.
Harness the power of the sun with this solar powered Stirling engine. Using sustainable technology, it is environmentally friendly - materials are renewable and recyclable.
The beauty of this low cost engine is that anybody can build it at home. A trip to the local hardware store provides everything you need.
One clear and necessary development is the replacement of the millions of friction brakes with kinetic energy storage systems on all sorts of vehicles: refuse trucks, shuttle busses, delivery trucks, and automobiles. Hybrid vehicles dominate in the area of regenerative braking owing to (1) motivation, and (2) easy implementation.
Product design idea
Universal plan for development of global strategic plan for each country development research is a need. To achieve the real situation it should be controlled, monitored and acted upon. With ERP, MRP we consider to middle level in enterprise level. But this is contracted and expanded to develop more with this concept.
