Nano OPS is revolutionizing semiconductor manufacturing with its groundbreaking Factory-in-a-Box technology. I am thrilled to share how Nano OPS is shaping the future of this industry. Inspired by nature, Nano OPS’ has developed technology to build nano and microscale electronics structures through precise assembly of nanoparticles.
The 'Check Engine Light,' or MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), illuminates (sometimes flashes with potential fire hazard) on the instrument cluster (IPC) as a very important standard feature for emission control/powertrain performance warning on cars and trucks, since around 1980. However,
Hospital based Intensive Care is currently strictly open-loop.
A nurse measures patient glucose levels and sets the insulin infusion pump to adjust input flow for a certain rate of decrease (not too fast) and for certain boundary values (e.g. 110-180mg/dl).
An arterial line measures blood pressures,
Insurance companies are requiring a 3 point locking system for exterior inswing entry doors.
For compliance you need a new door, which are $4,000 or a $600 Kevlar tarp.
Miniaturizing a high-power 3-phase MOSFET usually sacrifices power, but I have made three 3-phase MOSFET that will not sacrifice power to miniaturize brushless motor drive application. One 3-phase MOSFET is rated for 80 amps, 40 volts and measures 10x10x1mm.
Q T Flow introduces a groundbreaking valve technology that revolutionizes membrane and piston pumps of all sizes. Our innovative valve concept enhances efficiency, optimizes flow rate-to-size ratio, and significantly improves reliability.
Innovation of a light and comfortable joystick with Blues board and accelerometer useful for people with disabilities while playing. Augmented Reality and Virtual Gaming are a recent trend in the gaming industry. The times of using a keyboard/Joystick, and a mouse to play a computer game has gone behind.
Create a returnable plastics lottery system where reverse vending machines are used as "slot machines" and where any (authorized) plastic item could be deposited and where only very occasionally would the depositor win a (relatively) large dollar amount prize.
This project focuses on the design, development, and manufacturing of a small-scale turboprop engine. The goal is to create an efficient and reliable propulsion system using advanced engineering principles and 3D printing.
The engine design includes both axial and centrifugal compressors for optimal air compression. The axial compressor,
With the rapid development of imaging technology, many methods have been proposed to assist in the management and monitoring of cultural heritage through imaging technology. Most imaging monitoring systems rely on fixed-angle image processing, which significantly increases costs. To address this issue,
