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.

2018
Varuna is our first AUV and we completed it in a one year design cycle. The vehicle is fully modelled using Solidworks software and extensively we will simulate the structural and flow analysis with ANSYS, STARCCM+ software and going to manufacture almost entirely on our campus.
Objective of our project is to deliver a computer vision and artificial intelligence based solution which will automatically detect the disease in apples using Azure machine learning for building data models.
If we fix a source of radiation at the end of a lever rod with a magnifying glass in front of it such that the rod is long enough to magnify the minute unidirectional force and capable of rotation about an axis at the other end and hold that
Super Capacitor Energy Power Facility Water Leak Isolation
Presently systems available on the market today cut the water source off to an entire facility, to repair a leak. They are powered by facility electrical power or batteries.
Light-emitting diodes (LED), like any semiconductor, emit heat during their operation. This is because a significant portion of electrical energy (75% – 85%) is converted to thermal energy which results in an increase in the temperature of the LED.
The solution of other physical distance and object detecting sensors onboard missiles can avoid them getting intercepted while still reaching their target destination after detours taken via undoing the detours took to return to the original flight path. Hence,
THE TECHNOLOGY:
The original mount of the test-vehicle engine is Passive Hydraulic Mount, see Figure 1.(a). The friction damper was added to the original mount in parallell. The modified mount system is a different size than the original one with an additional weight of 200 g.
Abstract
Development of Renewable Energy should be based on friendly sources of Nature without burning of fossil like oil, gas and coal. That’s why the forces of wind, waves and tidal, Sun radiation energy are involved intensively in the recent time for powering of “green technologies” in practice.
Pre-Donation chair
The problem :
Lack of accuracy in screening before blood donation.
Long waiting time when you go to the Blood Donation Center.
Lack of personnel working in the field of examination before blood donation.
The expected results:
Increase accuracy in testing before blood donation.
