I want to tell you today about a new notebook prototype. Imagine the most expensive notebook in the world in the latest model. How do you imagine its appearance? Is the body made of gold, the microprocessor is the most powerful, the RAM is too big? No.
In this work, we explore the implementations of the buck converter and the boost converter, using Back-End-of-Line (BEOL) Nano-electromechanical (NEM) relays, for on-chip voltage conversions.
Our study exploits the design approach for relay-based DC-DC converters using an inductorless, charge pump topology in a switched capacitor configuration.

B-G INNOVATIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS Introduces World’s First Headlight with Integrated Light Safety Control Module (LSCM).
7" LED Vehicle Headlight with Integrated Back-Up Technology (Patented Light Safety Control Module, LSCM). NEVER DRIVE WITH A COMPROMISED HEADLIGHT!
The Enduralock Tidal Lock fastener is designed to be a lower cost permanently locking, high vibration resistant fastener, that for maintenance is reversible and reusable. The components can be manufactured through a forging and stamping process to greatly reduce the cost in production. This allows technology, that originally was developed for the aerospace industry,
Gyroscopic procession device consists of a main DC motor, “axial motor,” driving a hollow shaft with a fork mounted gyroscope. The main axial motor and gyroscopic motor are precisely controlled by DC voltage with precise control of RPM. Reversal of polarity reverses direction of the tilt of the gyroscopic axis.
Enduralock self-aligning nut plates are designed to dramatically reduce the time and cost of installation and maintenance of aerospace access panels.
Nut plates are used throughout aerospace for the attachment of access panels. Rather than having the panel bolts thread into the substructure, nut plates are employed.
In countries where oil is extracted and transported by sea, they face such a problem as oil spills on the surface of the water. This, in turn, leads to a global environmental problem, such as pollution of the seas, the death of living organisms (fish, birds, mammals, etc.
Emissions-free vehicles are the future of transportation. Manufacturers strive to improve the characteristics of electrical vehicles. Two of the electrical vehicle problems are the costs of batteries and the time to recharge them.
A proposal to solve part of this problem is to develop an Aerodynamic Electric Solar Bus (AESB).
