Riding a motorcycle in heavy traffic is a nerve-wracking and dangerous experience, because despite being open, there are large blind spots on motorcycles. Being aware of the position and relative speed of the vehicles around you is paramount to your safety.
Stringent CO2 emission legislation puts pressure on car manufacturers to search for cost effective methods to introduce alternative powertrains and to reduce the weight of cars with 200kg on average by 2025.
The weight reduction not only enables an improved fuel economy,
NASA Langley Research Center has developed a photo-acoustics sensing based laser vibrometer for the measurement of ambient chemical species. The technology allows for detection of sub part-per-billion (ppb) levels of ambient trace gases and chemical species, with an order of magnitude more sensitivity than similar technologies.
Our company, Potential Difference Inc., is now commercializing a new electric vehicle generator innovation that reverses the electric vehicle (EV) regenerative braking paradigm and introduces Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration.
NASA Langley is developing Traffic Aware Strategic Aircrew Requests (TASAR). TASAR features a cockpit automation system that monitors for potential flight trajectory improvements and displays them to the pilot. These wind-optimized flight trajectory changes are pre-cleared of potential conflicts with other known airplane traffic, weather hazards,
