Design and construction of the dielectric cell
• A parallel plate dielectric cell developed using 3D printing, Laser cutting and traditional machining techniques.
• Electrodes (guarded and unguarded) and threaded rod obtained from aluminum rod using traditional machine techniques.
• Attach two copper wires to the guard ring (guard electrode), one to the guarded electrode,
“Motor oil does not wear out, lose its lubricating properties or change viscosity as long as it is kept free of impurities” -The U.S. Bureau of Standards.
The Clean Engine, Inc. Oil Filtration System (OFS) is an aftermarket, heavy-duty by-pass oil filter for diesel engine lubricating oil or hydraulic oil systems.
For nearly a century Building management HVAC systems have relied on thermometric feedback to control temperature in buildings and although in recent years smart thermostats have been introduced the control remains temperature sensor based. The intelligence of the latest generation thermostats offers occupant habit learning, Internet app control and algorithms for better control.
The system is comprised of 3 main components to tap into the individual sources of energy of the Ocean (Tidal, Wave & Ocean currents) and is joined together through a series of assemblies or welds.
1) Tides- The predictable changes in water level i.e.
Our concept lies within the realm of green energy and by our intent we seek a better world where we wouldn’t have to compromise the integrity of our little place in this solar system.
We seek to merge Nano-crystalline solar cells (thin film) with wind turbines, so that we can obtain more energy from a single structure.
Backed by more than $22 million in grant and Series A funding, Pulmotect is focused on reducing COPD exacerbations with its proprietary drug, PUL-042. COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, affects more than 24 million Americans and is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
Nowadays renewable energy is expanding more and more in spite of fossil based one. But all of them are subject to limitations and constraints when applied alone. So considerable efforts aim to integrate different energy sources, as hybrid and renewables together, to overcome this issue. This invention overcomes all of these issues, by implementing a new concept energy generator,
It is proposed a method of Modeling of Computational Perception of reality, Situational Awareness, Cognition and Machine Learning in the system of Computational Systemic Mind, functioning as a main component in Complex Adaptive Computational Self-Thinking Autonomous Systems such as Robotics, Spacecraft, unmanned production and other.
The “SunPointer” clock adds an extra “sun” hand that rotates completely once every 24 hours, half the speed of the current “hour” hand. With the clock placed on the South wall (looking from North point of view), the sun hand would point to the sun and would follow the sun during rotation. At noon,
Especially for new population it is ideal to have a database with all medical information from its birth.
