Autonomous, mobile and decentralised power supply for the electrical operation of lighting equipment for information boards, of sensors and electrical components, of microsystems, smart phones and mobile computer technology is increasingly gaining importance. Under the spatial conditions of solar radiation autonomous power generation by solar cells is in many cases suitable to perform this task.
The design relates to a three-dimensional fixation device for treating complex displaced clavicle fractures and preventing nerve injury.Fractures of the clavicle present very common injuries during sports and traffic accident. Painful neuromas and numbness across the shoulder and upper chest wall due to injury of the supraclavicular nerve are complications following plate fixation and subsequent plate removal.
MOTIVATION
Are you designing a small commercial unmanned airborne system (UAS)? Perhaps you have found a few suppliers for autopilots, but you have definitely faced the problem of finding the right supporting electronic modules, such as onboard power systems, motor drivers and servo controllers.
Proteins are large essential macromolecules in the human bodies. Knowing their structure helps the biomedical researchers predict effective drugs. So it is highly important to have a tool for predicting its primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures.
Some protein modeling programs are present nowadays to draw the 3D structure of proteins. However,
An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially marine areas, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution, sometimes even causing deaths of life forms on big water areas. It usually takes months, or even years to liquidate the results of the oil spills.
Currently LED lighting using AC power source require a reactant component such as a capacitor or inductor to limit current without dissipating power. With capacitance (most popular method) a diode bridge is also required.
If LED manufacturers made LEDs with two in a package back to back, the LED can be used in AC circuits with less fuss.
For a long time people have been trying to build a device for flying like a bird - an ornithopter. The ornithopter is a machine designed to achieve flight by means of flapping wings. The special attention was on that kind of machine able to achieve a sustained flight driven by manual power.
However,
In response to the failure of football helmets to protect and their dangerous qualities of inflicting hard hits ...we designed Hercules Helmet for Football.
The separate force absorbing cells are suspended in a frame that allows them to be softer when hitting others and more effective in protection.
Covered by a thin flexible plastic,
The Phoenix™ laser is designed to overcome the deficiencies of current surgical lasers for minimally invasive removal of diseased tissues such as those associated with lower urinary tract symptoms (BPH) and other diseased tissues that are readily accessible via existing body openings and small laparoscopic incisions. Lasers are favored in many surgeries for precision and minimal blood loss yet,
Today science does not have the right point of view on the role of a brain in our body.
It is easy to see. If isolated senses did not have information about surrounding events which lead them to change its conditions, they cannot supply that information to a brain for processing.
