EAS device full absolute time same code structure that uses a true full absolute time protocol. This improvement will better guarantee absolute time from year to year as well as preventing bad BLU or WTE BLA CEA alerts.The solution is simple. Others have proposed similar ideas but my idea does more with elegant simplicity.
A regenerative braking system is a system in which the power is generated through friction energy while applying brakes which otherwise would be lost to the environment. In this system, an electric motor that normally drives a hybrid or pure electric vehicle is essentially operated in reverse (electrically) during braking or coasting.
Road transportation, as an important requirement of modern society, is presently hindered by restrictions in emission legislations as well as the availability of petroleum fuels, and as a consequence, the fuel cost. Wasted heat is one of the most abundant and widely available energy sources in our living environment and industrial activities. When the tires move across the surface,
The extraordinary capabilities of the GSAL is our method of creating large structures in space very fast. The Gateway Segment Assembly Line or GSAL will be amazing in many ways and the first is speed. From the time materials are first loaded, until a simple, but large frame over 200 feet long is constructed is under 30 minutes.
Vehicle Emission Test Protocols are Overestimating Internal Combustion Vehicle Tailpipe Emissions and Misleading Environmental Policy
For over 40-years laboratory emission test protocols, used worldwide, for light- and heavy-duty vehicles (and engines) have excluded the ambient air pollution consumed (and reduced) by the tested vehicle. The current protocol is appropriate for regulatory purposes enforcing vehicle emission standards,
In the Internet of Things era, electronics with ultralow power consumption are greatly sought after. In order to implement a microprocessor, basic logic gates and computing blocks are required. We propose a run-time reprogrammable micro-resonator-based device that can be used to implement a compact,
Of the more than 750,000 U.S. surgical patients annually, approximately 20% experience complicated seromas requiring painful and costly interventions such as aspirations, which add more than a $1 billion burden to the U.S. healthcare system.
The current standard of post-surgical care is manually operated closed-suction systems, such as Jackson-Pratt (JP) drains or Hemovacs,
The proposed model represents an innovative idea to curb the harmful effects of the ever increasing pollution problems. The high volatility of petrol results in exhaustive as well as refueling emissions which are both equally responsible in contributing to the increasing pollution levels.
Invention is novel, because it directs air under the aircraft through tubes within concentric tubes, which can be unrolled providing a FLAT stack of aircraft to ship on ground or air in compact lightweight shipping units. This Novel design is a major Improvement in flight safety by gliding to a safe landing without power,
