This project is about thermal insulation for horizontal rooftops through tiles manufactured with recycled crumb rubber from scrap tires that responds to socio-ecological problems caused by scrap tire piles, such as impacts to the ecosystem (fires/groundwater pollution…), health impacts (vectors/fires...
The standard silicon on isolator (SOI) wafer has suffered from low thermal conductivity and, as result, from bad power performance. There are 2 reasons: low thermal conductivity of BOX(10W/K*m) and low thermal conductivity of host Silicon wafer (130W/K*m).
Drivers relying on just a cell phone and the 911 system do not have a complete safety net. A visual cry for help is always legal. Expert first responders recognize that “simple” is best for saving lives. My rugged and patented answer is a license plate frame that, at the push of a button,
Medical mistakes are the third leading cause of patient deaths in the United States of America; numbering approximately 450,000 deaths in 2016 at a cost of $1.44T or 45% of the total annual cost of healthcare. The root cause of medical mistakes is cognitive overload; which is caused by too much information and too little time to acquire, analyze,
By sintering ceramic powder with metal powder under very high pressure and temperature, elastic and plastic deformable metal rich ceramic can be created. Although the metal the powder was added to the ceramic powder, thus sintered bulk ceramic does not show sign of metal by X-ray diffraction check and elastically and plastically deformable. In addition,

This project is aimed on design of mechanically efficient wing drive train, which allows power extraction from air flows around an apparatus.
The design of practical flapping wing apparatuses is a long time human dream.
Attempted designs, so far, are aimed mostly on improving the aerodynamics of ornithopters and entomopters. That is important but insufficient.
Sandia National Labs has developed a new medical diagnostic tool called “SpinDx.” The SpinDx was developed for conducting simultaneous multiplexed immunoassays and white blood cell counts in less than 15 minutes. The technique is based on centrifugal microfluidics, or “lab-on-a-disk” technology, which uses centrifugal forces to manipulate samples and reagents through microfluidic channels on the disk.
