DrLUX is a hand-held, portable, wound healing device that uses wavelength-specific light-emitting-diodes (LEDs) to accelerate the healing process. Pioneering work conducted by Medical College of Wisconsin shows that bio-stimulation can increase DNA synthesis in fibroblasts and muscles cells, which contributes to fibroblast proliferation and healing process.
The Vanier Contour is a new technology for support. This chair uses a displacement driven system instead of a traditional compression based system. With this system, any contour can be matched with an equal force distribution, unlike compression based systems that are susceptible to pressure concentrations and hot spots.

IDEA SOLVE: FAILURE TO EFFECT PAYMENT TIMEOUSLY FOR SOLAR POWER CONSUMED BY THE CLIENT
• Limited amount of solar generated by the current solar systems
Most aircraft composite repair has to be done in a controlled environment .Therefore the damaged parts need to be removed and sent to a shop to perform the proper repair. But on new aircraft quite a lot of the structure was made with composite materials and many of them can't be removed and sent to a shop for repair.
The concept of momentum plays an important role in the theory of mechanics. Forces are broadly classified into contact forces and Action at a distance. To understand momentum a simple experiment will suffice. Suppose A string is connected to a rigid wall and a mass is suspended along the sting.
Innovations in electric vehicles are undoubtedly crucial for the future of the automotive industry. This project aims to open doors towards the concept of green mobility with features that portray the advantages of battery-operated vehicles over traditional fuel-powered ones. This will change the way that we have thought of cars up until now.
