Global population crossing the 7.7 B mark is a distressing and debilitating predicament. Many of the societal woes are intricately connected to the uncontrolled population growth. A global pandemic, military tensions, climate change to name a few. Of all these,
iChessOne is the first foldable, full-size tournament electronic chessboard with online chess server integration, elegantly crafted from natural wood, with attention to detail that any chess master would admire. It’s a traditional wooden chessboard, but inside are electronic boards specially designed with microcontrollers and an advanced sensor matrix that detects the exact location and name of each element.
The revolutionary and yet simple design of the Ettridge Carbon Brush Commutator uses proven low carbon brush technology to achieve the same results as an electronic controller for a Stepper or Synchronized electric motor or generator.
INTRODUCING THE TOOL FOR REALIZING THE ETYMOLOGICAL ROOT OF THE MEANING OF “LOGARITHM,” RELATING IT TO DISCRETE GEOMETRY, VIA A CURVE OF A NAUTILUS MODEL [THE NATURAL SUBMARINE] .
“SPIRALOGORITHM” [name coined by Panagiotis Stefanides] Configuration of Photo 1, gives simple relationships between spirals and logarithms.
Introduced here is the STEPHANOID CURVE [author's proposal of nomination],
Autonomous laser spacecraft for the purpose of redirecting asteroid trajectory.
A 300 KWH laser heating the rock face of the asteroid target produces about 400 tons per second of thrust. Deep space interception of the asteroid provides enough time to shift the trajectory into a solar intercept course. This mission eliminates the threat permanently.
Planet Saturn has 82 moons. Titan in the Saturnian cluster of moons is perhaps the most intriguing of all. It has an Earth-like golden hazy atmosphere and a very low gravity [1.35 m/s*s]. Although temperature fluctuates in the subfreezing domain with a total lack of breathable oxygen it is not very hostile in relation to other heavenly bodies.

The Central Problem: People and production companies in the agricultural and livestock sector lack the generation of an important input such as organic fertilizer (ecological agriculture) with food supplements to improve their production.
The Causes: 1. Violation and non-compliance with legal frameworks, including municipal and regional ordinances; 2. Lack of environmental education for garbage management (solid waste,
OBJECTIVE:
To develop a contactless attendance system.
WORKING:
A unique RFID card will be programmed and given to a particular person; if that card comes at a particular range between the RFID reader, it will capture the radio frequency of the RFID card and stores the data and send it to the microprocessor (Node MCU).
