The H3Pelvic Device is a new non-pharmacological treatment solution that addresses the over 16 various ailments that cause pain deep and mind-bending "down there." These ailments affect in total over 78 million Americans every year and hundreds of millions worldwide.
The device uses active fluid pumping,
The proposed apparatus realizes inspection of optical members for cosmetic defects being surface flaws and inclusions. Plenitude of efforts is being made to develop methods and machinery for objective testing optical members prior to their utilization (e.g., patents: US 4,841,139; US 3,892,494; US 6,075,591; US 9,513,215; etc).
The $165bn pa memory market is dominated by DRAM ($100bn) and NAND flash ($60bn). DRAM’s high speed (compared to Flash) at low cost (compared to SRAM) has made it the main memory in all computers and electronic devices. However, it has significant drawbacks of volatility and destructive read of data.
CITS is an acronym from Crankcase Independent Two-Stroke. This patented technology retains the renown simplicity, low-maintenance, and superior weight and cost to power ratios of the two-stroke, and then eliminates their total-loss-lubrication and emissions burden. Another patented innovation is a pivoting low-resistance inlet-valve, with integrated By-Pass valve,
In the present day scenario, many times we see that the garbage bins or dust bin placed at public places in the cities are overflowing due to increase in the waste every day. It creates unhygienic condition for the people and creates bad smell around the surroundings this leads in spreading some deadly diseases & human illness,
