Water is a very scarce resource that needs to be used sparingly by everyone. Many people around the world go for days without this very basic need. Many liters of water are lost through water taps that are either left unclosed or not closed properly every day, which is a concern for the world at large.
It is estimated that 7%-10% of water supplied is lost due to water bucket overflow during water collation and water transportation due to common momentary negligence when the water reaches at the top level and motion of the water bucket at hand transportation.
Hands free human-powered propulsion in weightlessness inside a pressurized spacecraft is possible, wearing a pair of soft slippers shaped like a diver's swim fins.
Since the cramped cockpits of early space missions, crew cabins have grown in volume. The Skylab station was so large crew somersaulted through its airy center.
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.
Tactile interaction can be considered the next frontier for human-computer interaction. A generic approach to converting digital information into tactile information is to manufacture matrices of driven pins that function as “tactile pixels”. Unfortunately, the manufacturing costs behind such matrices are typically very high.
Generating additional force by morphing of rigid sails will provide a significant advantage in reducing fuel consumption and reducing emissions. Shipping is a major contributor of emissions (pollutants) such as greenhouse gases and VForce® technology reduces this and helps save the earth’s finite resources. The morphed sails take advantage of lower winds and provide other benefits as listed below.
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,
Laminated electrical steel core is an indispensable component of electric motors. It is required that the magnetic properties of the lamination core be optimum in all the directions of the sheet plane so that maximum efficiency and minimum energy losses can be achieved.
Non contacting opposable magnets allow for a non contact surface. This also allows for a return to a spring action in the joint.
