Welding technologies are fundamental to fabrication and ubiquitous within manufacturing. Laser welding has found wide application for the joining of precision metal components and high-speed production due to the intense laser heat source. Low penetration or “conduction mode” welding is well controlled,
Solar trackers have been used for decades. Trackers aim solar panels to continuously face the sun to maximize the energy captured. Concentrated photovoltaics (CPV), like conventional photovoltaic systems, generate electricity from sunlight. Compared to conventional photovoltaic systems, CPV are more efficient.
Problem: Everyday life involves frequently moving between areas with different risks of infection:
(i) safe area, such as a home or a car,
(ii) minimal risk area, such as a hallway or staircase with no people around,
(iii) moderate risk,
The last major advance in phlebotomy was the invention of the familiar Vacutainer(r) in 1947 which was commercialized in the early 50s by BD. In vitro diagnostics (IVD) instruments have recently become very efficient, requiring much smaller blood volumes. Today millions of liters of diagnostic blood are wasted.
Every household is generating a valuable resource. Unfortunately this resource is considered as waste, which is costly to manage and even after treatment still leads to environmental problems. The waste I am talking about is urine. Yes,
1) In comparison to 2019 entry the support for incline plane is simplified by a single square plate and the power of each machine unit is increased by double cone wheels sliding on V-shaped tract on modified incline plane tilted at 45° that coincides with a line at
Why Did We Build This?
"Prevention is better than cure" is one of the effective measures to prevent the spreading of COVID-19 and to protect mankind. Many researchers and doctors are working on medication and vaccination for corona virus. To avoid getting infected or spreading it,
The utility model relates to the field of refrigeration, and more specifically to electric household refrigerators, intended for use in everyday life, trade, food and other types of production.
During the operation of household, display and other refrigerators,
Chemical manufacturing is responsible for close to 30% of the global energy demand, and innovative solutions are needed to reduce the impact of CO2 emissions released from energy-intensive chemical processes.
