Imagine an automobile that not only produces no pollution but also cleans the air as you drive it. This is The Tomorrow Car. The Tomorrow Car (TTC) is an Electric/Hybrid drive train that consumes Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and produces Hydrogen gas and baking soda as byproducts.
A short-range, portable, and surface to surface missile may have missed striking the target, due to the lack of an auto-guidance system. This would cause more offensive and defensive strikes, which leads to the loss of our soldiers. The solution for the existing problem is to design a radio guided, command line of sight,
RBCs are enucleated cells in the human body and also lack other organelles like ribosomes for protein synthesis. So if any virus attacks the RBC and inserts its DNA or RNA inside the RBC it will lose its existence as it cannot multiply inside RBCs.

Fits Perfect is a web/smartphone application for the online clothing market. It uses augmented reality to assess the fit (size, color, style) of a garment on the consumer’s own body. The customer’s dimensions can be determined either with ARCore (when supported by the smartphone) or with full body pictures (to be processed by a deep learning model,
A growing demand has been established over the recent years for quick and inexpensive oil adulteration detection testing to convoy the automated processes in the industry. Monitoring the oil's quality is paramount not only during their production, transportation, and storage phases but also, more importantly, for controlling their authenticity by the regulatory authorities. Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO),
Beep Beep! is a device to detect the leakage and allergy of intravenous infusion through blood flow velocity and protein concentration, which can effectively reduce the risk of fluid leakage in children and chemotherapy patients.
The triangle shape and the bottom concave design make the medical staff fit firmly in front of the injection place of the patient,
A CAWT (Figures 1 & 2) incorporates an innovative wind turbine rotor with a maximum power coefficient (Cp) of 0.88. This value is based on 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies confirmed by an independent CFD-simulation services company. This exceptional aerodynamic performance is achieved by using closely-spaced, steeply-pitched blades to form a column of rectangular,
Ton Ton is a product that uses OLDE's near-red light to irradiate and stimulate the two acupoints, Bitong (EM7) and Yingxiang (LI-20), and works with the electric temperature to minimize the impact of swollen sinuses and nasal congestion on the quality of life of children with allergic rhinitis.
Ton Ton is designed to be bendable for comfort,
We are solving the plastic waste problem from the inside out! If you haven’t noticed, there are literally mountains of plastic waste building up in landfills, a Texas sized island of it in the ocean, and microplastics are being found everywhere. Approximately 8.3B metric tons of plastic have been produced, 6.3B metric tons have become waste.
