Our solution revolves around a Server Controlled Car that can be controlled from any part of the world via a simple internet connection. It has an on board camera that transmits live stream to the user over the internet.
One of the goals in modern power supply design is to minimize the losses respectively the heat dissipation. The biggest source of power loss is still the electronic switches - transistors and diodes, and while the transistors are experiencing progressive improvements of their properties, the diodes still have limitations, imposed by their structure.
Our objective is to reduce morbidity in Obesity and Sleep Apnea with a new therapeutic wearable device.We are developing two safe and well known technologies but in a same device. For the first time ever, we are using an already patented wearable device with pulseoximetry and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.
A Monowheel is a single track, single wheeled vehicle in which the person sits inside the wheel and drives it.
