A new wind turbine rotor featuring greater wind transparency and simplified blade shapes. Such forms make it possible to arrange the production of blades of large wind turbines without the use of manual labor. Usually, due to the complex profile of the blades, which have a variable width and twist along the blade,
We present a wearable and stretchable ultrasonic imager for continuous, real-time assessment of cardiac function. It maintains functionality even when bent, wrapped around a small object, or subjected to stress, which is unprecedented. The imager's stretchable property ensures seamless contact with the skin, allowing examination of the left ventricle from multiple views, even during motion.
Our proposed small cargo drone delivery system is an innovative and cost-effective solution for short intercity distances. The system consists of two types of drones, Balto and Togo, which work together to optimize the delivery process. Balto is an electric quadcopter that picks up cargo from a user-specified location and delivers it to a sorting buffer.
The risk of whale entanglements (worldwide) would be greatly reduced if trap fisheries (commonly used for catching crab, lobster and octopus) used ropeless fishing techniques which remove the need for floating ropes between the water surface and ocean floor.
In South African waters,
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.
As the world’s first hybrid fluoroscopic C-arm and mobile X-Ray system in one, FUJIFILM’s FDR Cross is a truly novel solution. The system offers both live fluoroscopic and static radiographic image capture for pre-, intra- and post-operative imaging and other minimally invasive procedures in a single platform.
When we work with others in teams, we implicitly infer each other's intentions, beliefs, and desires and use this information to coordinate our actions. We believe that the same should hold for collaborative robots if they are to perform efficiently as part of human-robot teams. Robots should understand how we intend to do a specific task,
The project will allow converting thermal energy into mechanical energy and then using mechanical energy to convert it into electrical energy. Heat can be obtained from geothermal sources, direct solar heating, wind or any other source.
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.
