Instrument A-B Connection Box
Current implementations of instrument A-B switching devices use either an push-on/push-off maintained connection push-button foot switch, or various unnecessarily complex electronic means to do a simple switching function.
Problems:
These devices have some disadvantages.
(e.g., No indication of, or difficult to view, switch status;
My idea for this contest is an Integrated Vision System. This, in a sense, is a way that the VEHICLE, along with the driver and/or passengers can SEE. The IVS will speak to the driver like a modern GPS System to allow the driver to keep their eyes on the road. On roads with limited visibility,
Thinking of reducing your household and office (cubical) energy consumptions? The Intelligent Energy Manager is exactly what one might be looking for. This is an Electronic Energy Meter integrated with GSM modem, a mobile SIM and an electronic control unit. i-Energy manager provides full cell phone connectivity ,
Knock, knock, knock! As a homeowner, I get visits from home security companies. As a father and a husband, I want to do everything within my power to ensure the safety of my family. However, current commercially available home security systems are rather cost-ineffective and just very passive electronics.
This is an intelligent bend machine for steel rod and wire that detect the bend error (spring effect) and automatically makes the correction.
The machines have a wireless system that can communicate with all the computers in the factory, sending and receiving information about the process in real time, and instruction of the work and the dates.
Buildings are one of the most intensive consumers of natural resources and account for a significant portion of the greenhouse gas emissions that affect the environment. In the U.S., buildings account for 38% of all CO2 emissions and represent 72% of U.S electricity consumption, EIA (2008).
The idea for our product came up when we noticed at our faculty that there were too many light bulbs turned on in spaces where there was nobody present.
FUELING INTERGALACTIC PROPULSION SYSTEMS
Don Hill
Propelling spaceships through deep space requires ships to carry huge amounts of fuel to escape the gravitational pull on the ship. Once a space ship escapes the pulls of gravity within a solar system, the energy required to control the velocity of the ship becomes extremely small. With no added force,
The Interlocking Electrical Test Probes affords an electrician or electrical technician the choice of joined test probes, operable with one hand or two separate un-joined test probes, operable with one probe in each hand. This versatility is accomplished by means of interlocking ends on each test probe.
What ?. A windshield wiper system that significantly improves the safety of most types of motor vehicles.
How ?. The system fully wipes off all precipitation (rain, snow, etc.) from the windshield regardless of intensity yet the wiper’s sweeping motion is not perceived by vehicle occupants. This is achieved by increasing the wiper’s speed sufficiently above the occupant’s awareness.
