FAIR (Fuel Air Injection Rotary) Engine

FAIR engine replaces the air compression section of a Wankel rotary engine with a secondary combustion chamber; it executes two combustion cycles per shaft revolution. FAIR engine injects Oxygen Enriched Compressed Air (OECA) to accelerate the chemical reaction for thorough and clean combustion, it reduces NOX, HC, CO, etc. emissions.

Modular Smart Traffic Signal Controller for Developing Cities: A Scalable, Low-Cost ITS Toolkit

In many developing cities, intersections are managed by outdated or manually operated signal systems that lack real-time adaptation, data integration, and remote monitoring capabilities. This leads to chronic congestion, unsafe pedestrian conditions, longer travel times, and increased emissions. While advanced traffic signal controllers exist, they are typically expensive, proprietary,

Compressed-Air Hybrid Regenerative System for Lightweight Vehicles

Executive Summary:

This proposal introduces a groundbreaking, low-cost, and sustainable alternative to conventional electric hybrid systems. By using compressed air instead of batteries, this regenerative system drastically reduces complexity and environmental impact. A reversible piston unit stores braking energy as compressed air and reuses it to assist vehicle startup. It is a recyclable,

Opposed Piston Facing Heads Internal Combustion Engine, Compact Design

This innovation addresses a key limitation in Opposed Piston Internal Combustion Engines (OP-ICE) by introducing a compact architecture where two pistons operate in a shared cylinder with facing heads. The design offers substantial improvements in size, performance, and volumetric self-sufficiency compared to existing OP engines.

Compact size:

This architecture reduces the engine block width by 30%,

Vehicle Identification for First Responder and Public Safety - State of the Art New Technologies

As we move forward with EVs, Hybrids, Plug-in-Hybrids, the challenges for first responders become increasingly complex. Early EVs could be recognized by the blunt front ends and badging. Now, manufacturers are removing propulsion labeling from the sides and front, and grilles even have fake air vents to make EVs look more aggressive.

Hybrid Transmission System for Blending Torque and Power Efficiency Between Engines & Final Transmission Shaft

This innovation introduces a Hybrid Transmission System (the System) that goes beyond conventional mild hybrid configurations. While typical setups manage only torque from the internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machine (EM), this System enables precise control of both torque and RPM, placing the hybrid set consistently near its maximum efficiency range and avoiding high-emission operating zones.

Road Traffic Light in New Configuration

The three-color system containing signals of the same circular shape has been in existence for over a hundred years. Each traffic signal has been justifiably selected to have a special color light to correspond to human psycho-emotional reaction (red – stop, yellow – caution, green – go) to a given color signal.

Laser Based Weed Removal System Using Object Detection

Weeds are unwanted plants that grow in fields alongside crops. They compete with crops for sunlight, water, and nutrients, which reduces the overall crop yield and increases farming costs. Traditionally, farmers remove weeds either manually by pulling them out or by using chemical herbicides. Manual removal is very hard and time-consuming, while chemical herbicides can harm the soil,
