Primary Flight Control Enhancement (PFCE)
The flight control systems of commercial aircraft in production today are a mind-boggling combination of redundant hardware, and complex software designed to meet the levels of reliability and performance required by the FAA, and to conform to the industry's “best practices,” to stay competitive. However,
This invention relates to search engines. Search engines use a lot of the available broadband radio spectrum, which contributes to sluggish performance and other system troubles. An overload of the communications system can have grave consequences: computer freezes and crashes at every level including our defense network, law enforcement agencies, and our national security efforts.
This project proposes the development of a Production Logging Electron Spin Resonance Probe to operate in the range of temperatures and pressures found in the crude oil production wells able to provide the surface equipment a real time chemical analysis of the crude collected by each geological layer or depth and logging the proportion corresponding to each of the
Project 180 Turn Around: 2015 Rebuild New Orleans is a project that interested me when Brad Pitt devised a restructuring housing program to help those who lost in New Orleans. It’s been 7 years since the devastating events of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Not much was done to prevent and repair the incident by all levels of government.
The Proof Structural Design is intended to save lives from tornadoes. Less than 3% of America’s homes include storm shelters, and tornadoes are responsible for taking thousands of people’s lives. Each time a deadly tornado or storm system hits, homes and businesses are destroyed, and each time we rebuild them exactly as they were built before,
Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is a sudden and difficult-to-predict severe degradation mode of failure of nuclear, petrochemical, and other industries. This is a development proposal for a very important model´s improvement. This is the slip-step dissolution and film rupture model, developed by Ford and Andresen [1] at GE Research and Development Laboratories,
This is a device to aid those who wear prosthetic limbs. The current state of the art is a multilayer system that consists of a cotton sock and a silicone rubber sock that fits over the limb. The prosthesis can attach to the silicone sock by means of a rod and ratchet device.
With the world using more and more new new chemicals in the manufacture of commercial products and military weapons, and with the increasing pollution at waste disposal sites,
Intermittency can be the curse of a solar PV cell, with no internal energy reserves to supply output energy when the radiating sun intensity is interrupted, even partially.
The simple solution is to:
(1) optimise the collection system by physical changes,
(2) include localised cooling and not worry about thickness,
All of us know about the potential danger connected with processing of a polymeric waste, and nevertheless all of us use a lot of polymers! The problem of polymers utilization is especially actual for PVC as a result of PVC burning dioxins release into the atmosphere - global ecotoxicants which split poorly and collect both in a human body,
