The world is analog, yet we have spent the last century force fitting the analog world into digital patterns to match the capabilities of digital computers. What if one could create analog models that run on today’s digital computers? The human’s left brain processes information sequentially, much like today’s IF|THEN|ELSE computer logic.
The proposed design of the robot for Urban Search and Rescue(USAR) assists in locating survivors in the debris, left after a disaster, natural or human-inflicted, rescues them and brings them to safety. In a nutshell, the robot is remotely-controlled to traverse the affected areas, scanning for survivors,
World population is estimated at over 7 billion people. Global population is expected to peak at approximately 10 billion people. Many millions of people are currently starving, malnourished and don't have access to safe drinking water.
Water tends to be scarcest where it is needed the most, i.e. the Middle East, Australia, the Sahara Desert, Northern Mexico,
This entry submits the use of the Landin Engine in aircraft use to replace the conventional turbine. The basic Landin Engine design was submitted in last year's contest, and can be seen here:
In aircraft use, multiple engine units are coupled together to achieve the necessary power output.
Reading laptop screens outside or on bright days can be difficult because the backlights can't compete with the brightness of daylight. So why not use that daylight to your advantage?
My invention uses a cylindrical lens to take the light coming down from above and focuses it into the backlight plate. Therefore,
Like most people, when I bought a laptop I eagerly looked forward to using it outside. One quickly discovers that most laptops screens
are not up to the bright ambient light. With many others I began to investigate ways to get around this, quickly discovering that this was not easy.
Flywheel research at NASA and BOEING and other places are proving that this energy storage has arrived.
When weapons are used as energy or particle accelerators, one major problem has been to get sufficient burst energy to fire and then to be able to fire successive shots. For Rail Guns batteries and capacitors typically supply the energy.
An object of the invention is to provide an apparatus and method for accurately and easily guiding a vehicle into a garage to a predetermined location.
A further object of the invention is to combine reliable ?State-of-the-art? compact diode laser technology with a mounting provision that is simple to install, adjust and utilize for parking a vehicle.
This invention is a lane guiding addition to a modern GPS, directing the driver into the correct lane for navigation, without having to remove their eyes from the road.
Complex three, four and five lane highways (California, Texas, New York, DC come to mind), having major arteries that can merge from either the left or right,
Pathogenic micro-organisms in blood detected by an optical image recognition system are located, identified, and selectively targeted by a computer which aims focused laser beams at them to kill or neutralize them. This invention will kill all recognized microorganisms, abnormal cells, and viruses in blood.
