Infill panels and partitions are widely used non-structural elements in reinforced concrete buildings, characterized by a significant seismic vulnerability as testified by disastrous collapses observed during recent earthquakes, for both in-plane and out-of-plane actions. The most advanced building codes foresee mandatory verifications of these elements,
In the last three years, at least 173 people have been killed and more than 700 wounded in 17 ramming attacks around the world (source: ).
Apart from being a tragedy on an individual level, the attacks also affect public life. The freedom to meet is a cornerstone in a civilized society.
The main objective of the system is to display free space, full color high resolution video or still images while simultaneously enabling the user to communicate, to have real time interaction with the visual images. Displaying an image using conventional projectors requires a non-transparent medium, typically screens, walls, or even water, but air, which is transparent,
Andro-Aqua offers a smart aquarium which will be connected to our app and can be controlled through the app with the app providing important alerts.
It is based on the principle of working of perendev motor, which was deemed impossible because it was a perpetual motion machine and no further development of that motor was continued.

The technical solution is based on a flight apparatus with flexible outer shell, powered by the pressure effect described as the Coandă-Effect, apparatus built as an experimental model.
This is an innovative solution for all flying apparatus with vertical take-off, high-speed flying apparatus, or the ones which require a robust and compact body – reentry body –
The aim of this project is to design and develop a tire pressure monitoring system which monitors the vehicle tire pressure and thus provide air pressure and temperature data to the driver through LCD display.
