It's a robotic startup that builds demotic robot with resealable price to be owned by any consumer. We focus on housekeeping robots with many features to add fun and adventure to the ordinary routine work, helping to reduce time and effort.
Conventional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates are usually performed by Ag-or-Au metal nanoparticles (Ag,Au-MNPs) in suspension-or-solid substrates. The SERS mechanism is widely explained by the hot spots and shape of Ag,Au-MNPs. Here,
Vehicle Door Protector (patented) - as its name implies, is a simple to use device that prevents dents dings, and scratches of most types of automobiles - car, truck, van, etc...
Some of its features are: It's water-proof, lightweight, and doesn't use any magnet,
The CDC recently estimated that there are 83 million nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections a year. The majority, 52.8%, resulting in pneumonia. Pneumonia is caused by bacteria, viral, chemical or other microorganisms. The majority of times the patient responds by spiking a temperature.
One woman with Obstetric Fistula (ObF) said ‘Cure my leaking fistula first. If I am blind, people will sit with me and talk to me, but no-one will come near me because I’m wet and I smell..
Presented in Fig 1 is an overview of a Constant Speed, Infinitely Variable Semi-tractor transmission which utilizes an Angular Motion Translator (AMT, US 6,547,689) to control a Variable Displacement System (VDS, US 9,890,638) (or Hydraulic Pump) coupled to a Hydraulic Motor.

Dehydration is a significant problem with 75% of Americans being dehydrated daily. If misdiagnosed and left untreated, dehydration can quickly have negative effects on physical and cognitive performance, as well as intensify chronic diseases. Treatments for dehydration may cost up to 5 billion dollars annually.
This invention provides vertical lift flight at a much lower power requirement than existing rotorcraft. Existing rotorcraft generate lift by accelerating airflow through the rotor disk. The change in air speed imparts a lifting force on the aircraft through conservation of momentum.
The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates the need at approximately 10 gigatonnes of net CO2 removal per year by the year 2050 in order to keep global temperature rise under 1.5 or 2C.
