With the technological advancements in the field of machinery, the industries require advanced machines for material and components handling.
An Alternative Crank Engine
This product innovation relates to the internal combustion engine and proposes a significant step forward in improving performance, fuel economy and emissions by changing the thermodynamic cycle of heat transfer into useful work whilst retaining all existing technological infrastructure and costs.
A monitoring system to allow early detection of damage to high tension power lines. Using Acoustical Emission (AE) techniques on high tension power lines for early detection of internal damage or fraying before the cable breaks.
Cable "Galloping" (low frequency, large amplitude, vibration caused by high winds),
Named Best Foot Protection Product of 2020 by ISHN, SelectFlex is still the world’s first and only arch control insole. With the turn of a key, the original SelectFlex insole provides 3 adjustable levels of arch support for personalized comfort. 
Molten Metal Reactor Technology – Prospects in Sustainable Hydrogen Production
Globally, Hydrogen (H2) has been consumed for a variety of purposes, majorly as a feedstock or raw material and for the refining process. However, recently,
The benefits of using Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) in braking is already evident from motorsports and production hybrid-electric vehicles. Another area that has a high potential for KERS implementation is the suspension system.
This idea comes from our web article “Turbocharged Zhou Engine” (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/turbocharged-zhou-engine-jing-yuan-zhou), and our invention PCT/CA2014050106 (Japan granted JP6574447, and patent-pending in other countries). So we are working on it.
