There are thousands of vehicles sinking into water such as rivers and ponds due to accident related cases recorded worldwide every year. This is because whenever a vehicle hits water, the safety team like firefighters come to the accident site and jumping into securing actions takes time.
Papayona is a medical device company.
We are developing a wearable accessory that helps patients with hand tremors. The device returns self-control back to the patient's hands.
NASAs LaRC has a new method for generating very low mass visual targets that enable three-dimensional metrology and photogrammetry measurements (surface position, shape, profile, etc.) for very thin and lightweight structures. The targets use fluorescent dyes incorporated into or applied onto the thin polymer materials used in lightweight structures.
* NASA Langley Research Center has developed a method of depositing arrays of a ferritin protein on a substrate to create a thin-film electrode for a bio-nanobattery. The NASA Langley developed method is a spin self-assembly procedure. By this procedure, a first ferritin layer is first formed on the substrate, followed by building a second,
It is New Innovation to improvement the Infrastructure Maintenance and Operation (Storm water O&M) and increase protectively, accurate result and quality of life,
The challenge with a seat belt is to prevent submarining of the occupant under the lap belt. This challenge increases as the size of the occupant reduces such as with 5%ile female. Traditionally this is addressed in front seats with a rigid steel pan (in combination with a pretensioner) to limit pelvis displacement.
tubeCanal is the next generation in high speed on demand delivery services. We are creating a disruptive technology that will radically transform delivery of small goods across metropolitan cities and wider distances. Congestion in our cities and inefficiency in current transportation methods demands the creation of a new delivery network. In addition,
When working at The Home Depot I often had to caution children away from the cable cutters. Too many times I saw children putting their fingers near the jaws of the cutter and the moving the handles. We never had any injuries while I was there but there were a number of "close calls.
The IC Pump Station Anti-cavitation control unit works with a variable frequency drive (VFD) to end pump cavitation. Even if the pump intake is fully plugged! The IC Pump Station control unit “senses” cavitation and reduces the speed of the pump motor until the danger of cavitation has passed.
Present mobility options, especially in dense urban areas, are becoming more and more unsustainable. Fundamentally different approaches to personal mobility are needed to address the problems listed above and achieve sustainability. An automated transportation network (ATN) system utilizing ‘pod cars’ is one such approach.
