Current autonomous systems planned for introduction into public and private transportation rely on the system itself obtaining all the information on its surrounding environment through its own internal sensors and control sub-systems. To minimize external sensor infrastructure cost and maintenance requirements or use of active communications with autonomous systems,
In order to avoid an engine’s thermal fatigue failure or lowering the engine’s performance due to engine oil deterioration, the oil must be changed when it loses its protective properties. Also, unnecessary oil changes should be avoided for environmental and economic reasons as still active additives left in the oil may react with the environment. Today,
There have been many incidents where hurricanes destroyed many homes and killed many people. It happens frequently. I have thought of a plan how we can prevent hurricanes. In this concept, we will first build a right triangle by solid iron frames size 30 in.x 20 in.,height 100 feet.
This project is about solar power plant monitoring, prediction of weather conditions and power production with machine learning techniques.
We propose an integrated and low cost approach to weather forecasting, solar energy prediction and photovoltaic source simulation. For these tasks, different approaches would have to make use of SCADA for energy production,
How it works: The Simbodie PRO is an operable, artificial ‘patient’ that provides medical educators with a high fidelity, adaptable, safe, tether-less full-body manikin that can deliver surgical training opportunities in austere emergency training environments. The Simbodie PRO can be cut open, operated on and sutured back together again,
"THE INDUSTRY WILL ADAPT TECHNOLOGY, WHICH RIGHT NOW DOESN’T EXIST.
SO THAT’S THE CHALLENGE."
OPPORTUNITIES
-The integration represents a shield to protect human lungs from deadly industrial emissions.
-Opportunities by developing green technology to capture carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants, using algae.
I want to create a dream world…I want to make every person and race in the whole wide world equal and united by making all human equally good looking and equally intelligent. For realizing that dream, I have invented a new Electromagnetic Cosmetic Therapy and a gene manipulation technology.
The uRADMonitor CITY will be a device equipped with High Volume / High sensitivity electrochemical sensors to measure Ozone, Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide in cities. Its enhanced sensitivity will provide readings that will allow for easy comparison with legal limits on Air Quality.
