ECOGROUND(TM) waterborne adhesives are two-component products developed with waterborne acrylic emulsions and functional additives. They are designed to replace the conventional solvent or solvent-free polyurethane (PU) adhesives for eco-friendly sports surface installation, e.g. running track, playground, jogging lane and ball court.
Collagen stimulators are considered the next generation of cosmetic fillers, and you may have also heard them referred to as biostimulators. These products can help to restore volume to crepey skin and also provide a subtle lift by stimulating the underlying dermal tissues to resume collagen production
Initial results from collagen rebuilding treatments are usually visible immediately. However,
IDEA DESCRIPTION:

WIRELESS ELECTRICAL MOUSE: Flexibility, Convenience, Comfort, Portability, Reliability, Aesthetics, Versatility
MOUSE IMPROVEMENTS: sticking-free: auto-dust blower,
A buoy powered piezoelectrically in open waters tapping the element of an notion of eternal energy in an ocean of ever-abundant energy generation. As well our buoy is equipped with an evaporator at the base storing fresh water at the crown through a gravity filtration system.
It's very hard to remove aircraft sealant by using the traditionally method especially those old baked sealants and in very limited spaces. Therefore I developed a lightweight and slim sealant scraper that operates very differently than those presently in use. The scraper weighs 375g and is 2.2 X 8 inches in length.
New World Product Solutions has developed an eWheel End Concept for semi-trailer Tractive Power and Power Generation by placing a motor-alternator/drive unit directly inboard of the brake mechanism of the rigidly suspended wheel ends of each Trailer axle. To accomplish this, an Independent Suspension System is used. Tractive Power is applied to each wheel end.
This revolution in litter box technology converts the ammonia gassing off the cat’s urine into odorless nitrate using a 3-stage patented biological filter. No expensive filter cartridges to change, ever! This is a living natural solution to the largest problem in the pet industry.

Researchers have developed a technique to quickly determine certain properties of a material, like stress and strain, based on an image of the material showing its internal structure.The image-based approach is especially advantageous for complex composite materials.
Classic electric vehicles cannot avoid poor efficiency at low speed and torque weakness at high speed, even with a gearbox, due to its main motor speed range from a negative to a positive speed proportionally to the vehicle speed.
To overcome these setbacks, we propose that most of the propulsion energy (>
Existing electronic pressure meters use pulsation cuff-only to determine pressure and heart rate, and some models offer arrhythmia detection. Our innovation offers additional analysis of the obtained pulsations by adapted methods used in ECG, EEG,
