Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is widely used in areal hygiene as in hospitals, schools and other indoor spaces. Also, sanitizing several equipments with H2O2 vapor brings cost efficiency compared to UltraViolet-C (UVC) lamp or LED systems.
We produced a hydrophobic non-woven carbon fiber fabric,
PROBLEM: Current instruments for sorting cells are time-consuming, expensive, bulky, and most cells are recovered dead. The similarity of tumor cell clusters combined with the inability to separate live cells makes oncology a difficult area of research.
Introduction
Hydropower is one of the most important renewable resources for energy. There are, however, drawbacks. Firstly, there is an ethical problem. Fish are hindered to migrate upstream and are stressed, wounded or killed migrating downstream. All over the world plans are made to mitigate this, e.g.
Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and Aquaculture are industries growing exponentially, accelerated by the pandemic. Increased food security, continuous (24/7) all-weather production, reduced water/land/CO2/Greenhouse-Gas footprint/fertiliser-or-pesticidal requirements and provision of better taste, with accelerated growth of produce ensuring 6-8 fold increased yield against conventional agricultural systems.
The concept presented will be able to prevent snow from the trunk of the car, in the trunk cargo space. As soon as the trunk opens, the settled snow, either on the rear window or on the trunk lid, will slide into the trunk area.
Vision X is a voice-based smart glass for people with complete blindness. The glass uses a set of high-definition cameras for image processing and a LIDAR sensor for distance measurement. It uses a custom Soc processor optimized for faster image detection.
Long String Authentication (LSA)
For IoT devices and sensors, no existing authentication can provide security in the context of their use requirements and their resource limitations.
Fixed passwords are inadequate. Managing numerous communications devices/systems with different and changing passwords is complex and costly.
The application of additive manufacturing has allowed a research team at The University of Bath (UK) to significantly improve the achievable performance of SiC and other wide band gap semiconductor devices, allowing an increase in inverter performance that will improve the efficiency,
