Three Tier Enhanced Security in Image Steganography
Steganography, derived from Greek, roughly translated as “cover writing.” It is a “hide and seek” system that embeds hidden information in unremarkable cover media so as not to arouse an eavesdropper’s suspicion except the intended recipient. Embedding a message into an image requires two files. The first is the innocent-looking image that will hold the hidden information, called the cover image. The second file is the message—the information to be hidden. The hiding system needs a host file, a prepared message file, and an optional key to insert the message into the host for creating a cover host. The ...

Increasing the Safety of Water-Filled Highway Crash Barriers
A highly successful innovation to increase highway safety was the introduction of water-filled crash barriers at various high-danger locations. Many of these barriers are cylindrical is shape with a detachable cover. They are made of an easily crushable/deformable material and are filled with ordinary water. The theory of operation of these barriers is simple: The incoming vehicle comes in forceful contact with the barrier and begins to crush it. The rapid deformation of the container causes the horizontal kinetic energy of the vehicle to be transferred to the vertical kinetic energy of the water as it is projected upwards ...

Save the Beaches & Harvest 100 Barrels a Day?
I have big plans for my proposed oil film skimmers and tar/oil-ball collectors. They can be both hauled and powered by small motorboats. They are ideal low-cost, first-responders, designed for quick localized and third-world production. When oil threatens, your average Joes’ can ride out in small craft, like the little boats of Dunkirk, and save the beaches, without waiting for bean-counting glue-heads to sanction the effort. If they encounter fresh spills,or oilfilms dangerously thickened by wind or shore encroachment, the effort can pay for itself. For example, if the oilfilm thickness averages 0.01mm, and a boat skims a 10m ...
Automatic Car Fan Adjuster
Many people have to manually reach over to the air vents in their cars to let the air blow into their face. But they could be doing a combination of things all at a same time, including adjusting the air vent to a more desirable location. If the Air vents could automatically adjust so that it is directed at their face, it would be very convenient and be considerably safer. The reason for the automatic adjusting of the air vents being safe is that it eliminates one of the many distractions that drivers face while they are driving. This ...
