A non-surgical invasive way for cardiac myocytes experiencing arrhythmia may be achievable with an enhanced magnetic field across the cardiac myocyte depolarization pacemaker action potential electrophysics. The attached charted graph--see mA/mmsquared vs. Magnetic Field Tesla (L)--illustrates the critical current with the enhanced magnetic field @77degK in rare-earth REBCO superconductor.
Heavy trucks are considered aerodynamically inefficient compared with many of the other ground vehicles due to their unstreamlined body shapes with more than 60% of the engine power required to overcome aerodynamics drag at highway cruising speeds.
Spillage free conveyor basically used to eliminate the factor of dust particles during conveying of soap via conveyor belts.
Benefits:
power saving
Less friction
breakdown free
Basically, in this conveyor,
The Idea of Smart Bins is not a new one, ideas of level sensing, Alerts using IoT were already proposed but it focused on a limited market due to the cost and less awareness. Whizz-Bin is a much smarter version of smart bins. It consists of mixed technologies for an Eco-friendly environment.
In the large cities of emerging economies, with a typical population exceeding 10 million, a scheme for assured, demand-rated, smart potable pipeline water supply to the individual households is a pressing requirement. The current practice is heavily manual driven, and has the attended human element with all its fallacies. An assorted distributions of pipeline dimensions, nodal valves,
Inexpensive, Simple and Safe System to Prevent Aircraft Fuel-tank Explosion
Since 1990, three aircraft, manufactured in USA, have exploded due to combustion in the fuel-tank. In 1996, Trans World Airways (TWA) Flight 800 explosion caused 230 deaths. National Transport Safety Board (NTSB) listed “Explosive Mixture in Fuel Tanks in Transport Category Aircrafts”
I have designed, build it and tested also have a patent on this engine design. This new design (SVPC) is using only one valve per cylinder for Intake and Exhaust cycles. A rotor above it rotates the fluid flow to needed ports. This design is very applicable for Diesel engines and Direct injected Gasoline IC Engines.
Hybrid Remotely-operated underwater vehicle (H-ROV) is a robot that completes functions underwater on behalf of a crew, located on the surface, with whom the H-ROV is tethered. These functions include: search/recover, inspection, equipment repair, scientific analysis, dredging/trenching, cable-laying, and surveying.
H-ROV is designed to work at desirable depth.
EB-135 is a versatile, medium viscosity, epoxy formulation for a wide array of industries. Originally formulated as a structural adhesive, the EB-135 bonds well to most engineered plastics, all metals, ceramics, glass and rubbers. It can be used as an adhesive,lamination compound, staking material, sealant, coating or for small encapsulations.
A new technology that can combust, gasify or pyrolyze solids, liquids and sludges and divide the process into multiple stages and manage each stage of conversion for optimum results and “engineer”
