Biological microscopic imaging technology has important applications in new drug development, cell biology research, tissue pathology analysis, environmental monitoring and other fields. We aim to developing multi-dimensional high resolution digital imaging and analytical instruments for the above mentioned applications.
Based upon existing biological microscope technologies,
The H.E.R.O. (Hazardous Environment RecOnnaissance) Sensor is an amalgamation of sensors mounted on an optional pan/tilt unit with the intelligence to autonomously scan an area for specific heat signatures. HERO’s AI communicates 3D location information with the robotic platform (land-,
My Light-Interface concept simply takes the same shape as the space that an object is resting in, but in a concentrated form while being modified light field " fly-eye" optically connected to the outer surface of the object with opto-electronic,
Goals-Increase agricultural production and profitability.
Low cost, low technology and easy installation.
The concept is designed to reduce wasted produce that falls to the ground.
A net is hung beneath the fruit bearing tree or bush (the illustrations are for apple orchards).
With the drilling machines used at home or professionally, there is no provision to contain the dust or debris that is generated during the drilling process. Drilling in areas which are occupied (home/offices) creates a real challenge with the dust/debris generated and subsequent cleaning process.
Experimental aircraft are not new. Balloons are not new. But one vehicle which could make conventional ballooning more enjoyable migth be a "sit-and-spin" type design.
Roads and railroads have already been built, pathways exist. Why not use recycled clear plastic, glass and aluminum to make a mini air or vacuum mailing tube system? Like the kind used for mail and cash in DC and stores of past,
Accidents like the Concorde need not happen. What was seen to be foreign object debris on the runway was ingested into the engine. In this case a tire but in other cases birds, bolts, debris, chunks, tumbleweed, whatever.
