Our living environments are always patterned or textured. 2.5D structures, from rough surface textures to more explicitly-designed patterns, are ubiquitous and are interwoven with 2D planar surfaces. These 2.5D textures assist human perception, enabling us to feel, understand, and discover additional environmental information.
Recognizing the importance of 2.5D structures,
Fiber optics is a mature technology that has been modified to allow sensing of the environment surrounding the fiber. This includes high-temperature environments found in smokestacks as well as remote sensing.
We have invented a proprietary method to artificially offset the center of mass of a rolling object, forward of the center of rotation, thereby putting a rolling mass into an artificial state of unbalance.
We are developing a new generation of solid fuel combined heat and power microturbine system. Fuels include woodchips, waste plastics, waste biomass, fuel pellets, agricultural waste, and any combustible solid, as well as conventional fuels such as propane, natural gas, heating oil, waste oil, vegetable oil, etc.
Continuous tracking of physiological signals underneath deep tissue represents clinical significance and challenges to health monitoring. Signals generated by internal organs and deep tissues can better correlate to disease diagnosis and predict severe symptoms. We aim to develop a wearable sensing platform that can interrogate deep tissue physiological signals autonomously and continuously.
A multi-rotor wind turbine called the G-VAWT (Gyro Vertical Axis Wind Turbine) was created to support SDG Goal 7, which is concerned with developing affordable and sustainable energy sources. When it comes to controlled power output and consistency, this cutting-edge vertical turbine outperforms conventional wind turbines.
I personally have to use a wheelchair to get around. While that is fine in and around the apartment I live in but can become very arduous when traveling 8 or 10 blocks or more. Note that I am 69 years old. Unfortunately electric wheelchairs are very expensive (over $10K) which got me thinking on a solution.
This summary presents an innovative fastener designed to provide secure and permanent attachments in large solar farms, in order to reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources. It enhances the structural integrity and longevity of solar panel installations by reducing potential loosening issues commonly encountered in conventional solar module mounting systems.
There are a lot of data and papers describing how the presence of water is problematic in remote sensing. We use this problem as the source of information.
Application
An indication of surface information (water/soil) helps these in these three applications:
Amphibious seaplanes are easily wrecked when landing on water with wheel landing gear down.
