The disk shaped hand grenade will be a new design. The grenade will be made with metal. All components will be the same in this disk like basketball shape grenade but only difference is its disk shape.
It will be more aerodynamic due to its disk shape.
Treatment of skin malignancies that are resistant to medication, such as super bug or skin cancer, via direct current voltage surrounding the malignancy and center electrode on surface of malignancy, elevating the temperature as the current travels through the root structure to the center electrode.
HexaBlock 1-meter hexagon/triangles are new metric standard blocks that build out into standard North American and global metric building code dimensions. Optimally engineered HexaBlocks snap together by hand to assemble any shape of conventional building. A designer can build out in any direction and any thickness predictably.
Modern Fusion Reactor designs like the Wendelstein 7X utilize magnetic fields that are so complex that it took 19 years just to manufacture the hardware necessary to have them running. Having a reactor which utilizes a system of Holographic lasers which would augment existing “simple” reactor designs could speed up both the experimental process,
Superlative BioSciences Corp's Cellular Toxicology Service – WHY:
Increasing governments' support to decrease or stop the testing of possible toxic compounds in animals.
Decrease in vivarium and experiments' costs by reducing the use of animals in toxicology testing.
The above are significant factors that will propel the in vitro toxicology market forward worldwide.
The fast food carts have been the impulse of a large number of small businesses that have allowed many people or families to earn income by selling some type of food. The novelty of this proposal is to integrate these carts a hybrid power generation system electrical system composed of solar cells and thermoelectric devices.
A tremendous number of imaging studies accompanied by radiological reports are accumulated and stored in hospitals' PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) in the form of electronic medical records. EMRs have potential to transform our medical system, clinical decision-making, and provide evidence of policies and support the hospitals in cases of litigation.
A new linear solar collector has been developed and patented that promises to be a less expensive replacement for parabolic trough collectors. Parabolic trough collectors suffer from the difficulty of maintaining mirror orientation for a very large mirror that can be subjected to significant winds.
HealthHUB is the first community based mobile application that allows patients to identify the most resource efficient medical providers. HealthHUB allows patients to anonymously share their hospital bills with their community. Other patients will then be able to compare different institutions based on the price for a particular procedure or exam. Other metrics (e.g. complication rates, waiting times,
3D printing (additive manufacturing) is enabling dramatic changes around the world today and is affecting almost every industry in one form or another. From design to prototyping and manufacturing to quality control, 3D printing is creating a paradigm shift by disrupting traditional manufacturing as we know it. Additive manufacturing offers many advantages over traditional manufacturing methods,
