Automation might not fundamentally change the value of the car and it will not make the driver obsolete, but it will create new conditions for personal transportation. The autonomous car enhances safety and the quality of the driving experience and it enriches the time we spend in cars.
ABSTRACT:
A new Numerical Method (US patent application no. 15/797649; US application publication no. US 2018-004151 A1) first of its kind in about 200-years is propounded by the following 5-statements:
A. Organize linear or nonlinear equations as mismatch functions equated to zero.
B.
Reduction of drag and boosting of lift to drag ratio is of paramount importance to maximize flight efficiency. In order to reduce turbulence and thereby reduce drag and increase lift to drag ratio, I have successfully developed a new concept after spending several years to research.
Harvesting energy efficiently is of paramount importance to maximize energy production efficiency. In order to produce energy freely I have successfully developed a new concept after spending several years to research.
For electric cars, electric motors of rotary types are used. DC or AC ones. In my project I use linear type electric motors in line order attached to the crankshaft.

The arrival of stricter regulations and the impact of the various scandals that continue to shake the automotive world make the introduction and then the spread of a set of
Presently for water purification large treatment plants involving sedimentation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis RO techniques are used which are not easy to employ without electricity. We have designed handy smaller/larger water filter pads that can be used in the home and water can be taken from any source.
Thanks to a bio-mimetic design idea, promoting a novel self-assisting/self-advancing feature, penetrating into soft and hard formations is foreseen to be performed with more reliability, less energy consumption, less maintenance, less required component and weight for the drill and hopefully less structural integrity concerns.
Doesn’t the ever-expanding number of space launches to Earth orbit seem enormous every year? Statistics reveal fluctuating numbers between 80 and 90 per year starting from the 21st century. Leading countries compete with one another in order to lead the space industry by launching more and more spacecraft.

The focus here is the construction of a human free device (Robot) to operate on various surgical platforms so as to eliminate human errors, save time, reduce the chances of failures etc. and provide a leakage-free surgery to the patients.
