Spinal cord injury affects 17,000 Americans and 700,000 people worldwide each year. A research team at NeuroPair, Inc. won the Grand Prize in the 2023 Create the Future Design Contest for a revolutionary approach to spinal cord repair. In this Here’s an Idea podcast episode, Dr. Johannes Dapprich, NeuroPair’s CEO and founder, discusses their groundbreaking approach that addresses a critical need in the medical field, offering a fast and minimally invasive solution to a long-standing problem.

The DragShield is an aerodynamic device that is placed behind the pickup truck cab, where air flows over the cab and into the truck bed. The DragShield has been proven by both analysis and testing to reduce the fuel consumption of a pickup truck. It works by reducing the drag on the vehicle,
Marketability: Aim of the Sol-FrigoSys program is to design, improve and experimentally study under realistic conditions a hybrid autonomous cooling chamber with solar cooling technology. Based on the targets and the anticipated results it is expected to move beyond the state of the art of the so far presented systems,
Kevlar is used to build bullet proof jacket and other stuff. Non newtonian fluid is which fluid is not obey newtons force principle. This fluid is different from reguler fluids.
When the impact force is apply on this type of fluid and the thickness of fluid {volume in 3d}is sufficient.
To ensure driving safety, tire pressure monitoring systems have been strictly regulated in every new vehicle from 2008 in the USA, 2014 in Europe and Taiwan, 2015 in Japan, 2016 in Korea, and 2018 in China. However, the inconvenience to define tire position correctly after a tire rotation, snow tire change,
Improper tire maintenance causes every year 124 fatalities, 9000 injures in US (35 deaths, 4000 injured in Europe), and common under-inflation produces a fuel penalty of 1-2% on a reference cycle (with only the driver on board and warmed-up tires).
Purpose:
The primary target is to minimize the pollutant emissions of diesel engines vehicles, to achieve TIER IV-V and EURO IV-V current regulations. An after-treatment exhaust gas electrostatic device, for CI diesel engines, traps the combustion process particles present in the aerosols diesel soot,
The JDI-100/200 series is a ruggedized inclinometer using digital output and full temperature compensation across all measuring ranges which enables the unit to perform to 0.005° accuracy. This means that engineers can rely on a high precision tilt sensor that will not be easily influenced by various temperature changes within its environment.
Gear systems are one of the oldest and most iconic forms of engineering. They have been studied for so long and by such great minds (Archimedes, da Vinci, etc.) that breakthroughs are rare. Mainstream technologies include the Cycloid (circa 1970), Strain Wave (circa 1950), and Planetary (circa 100 BC) drives.
ATOM-1.0 Humanoid Robot Vision.
It is important in today’s modern age of technology to have pioneers pushing forward to reach greater achievements. The robotics pioneer must have a vision, determination and not be easily discouraged by lack of project funding or criticism. Without great tech thinkers whose vision been before their time, where would our current technology stand.
Solar energy project have instant use of solar energy during day period but it is difficult to use full energy conversation to sufficient work. So , I design solar collector for convey solar rays to kitchen or energy needed area.
You see in picture one parabolic ray collector and one pipe is display with thermal simulation.
