Patented Fluid Displacement LinerTM (FDL) technology is a revolutionary impact technology advancement in terms of performance, comfort, and style in comparison to stagnant safety helmet technology (e.g. compression foam), now prevalent for 6+ decades.
The inaugural application for FDL technology is the CHM-1 Half-Shell Motorcycle Helmet,
We propose a low-cost circuit using commercial off-the-shelf components that enables the measurement of electrical currents in the order of pA range. The circuit presents an output current that is an amplified version of the current to be measured,
Even with the advancements in automotive HVAC systems, it is still impossible to keep a constant temperature throughout the entire vehicle cabin. Usually the driver and the front seat passenger get to benefit from the desired temperature setting, while the backseat varies greatly. Today,
The invention is a pandemic-proof mass transportation system that more than doubles the capacity of the existing right of ways of present day subways and light rail systems and dramatically reduces trip times.
The risk of illegal use of drones has greatly increased in terms of privacy violation, spying, and terrorism. The current state-of-the-art drone detection systems (DDSs) involve diverse sensing methods such as acoustic sensors, video surveillance, and RF methods. However,
Aircraft Wings are placed perpendicular and horizontal; and parallel to the ground; to the fuselage, as can be seen as an standard practice. This placement is basically inspired by body structure of birds. It has its own disadvantage , like excess clearance require on both sides of runways,
