Spinal cord injury affects 17,000 Americans and 700,000 people worldwide each year. A research team at NeuroPair, Inc. won the Grand Prize in the 2023 Create the Future Design Contest for a revolutionary approach to spinal cord repair. In this Here’s an Idea podcast episode, Dr. Johannes Dapprich, NeuroPair’s CEO and founder, discusses their groundbreaking approach that addresses a critical need in the medical field, offering a fast and minimally invasive solution to a long-standing problem.

The growing demand for digitization to transition into the Industry 4.0 or Internet of Things has presented an opportunity to learn, construct and lead the innovations thermal system monitoring and predictive maintenance. Without a connected interface or configurable modes, legacy systems support a limited set of preset fault conditions with limited configurations.
Design Statement and Working:
In the drawing hinged partial water filled bottle is not able to balance itself because of store and restore cycle developed by water weight wave energy or and tension spring drive force.
Vehicle is mounted/hanging or connected by elevated or side placed tube shaped structure.
For Propulsion: Electromagnets installed in tube shaped structure and vehicle body/ connecting link or wings producing the electromagnetic forces to propel the vehicles in forward direction by Electromagnetic Suspension Systems (EMS) principle.
Vehicle can run on the road, hover and fly in the air.
Design has following parts:
Seating, Payload, Extended Portion and Impeller cabins or compartments, fold-able wings that mounted at the sides of vehicles body (in option).
Rotary seats and payload capsules.
Impeller, perforated sheet for air entrance, airfoil shaped flaps.
Landing gear and powered wheels.
This idea is not patented, but it has been published for the scientific community. It was first published a few days ago at the EPNC 2018 conference and an extended paper has been submitted for journal publication.
During the process of cooling,
It is known that vertical flight is very costly from an energy point of view. To avoid the same disadvantage during forward flight it is obviously recommended to use mainly the wings to produce lift instead of the air impulse. This increases the efficiency, respectively the range or can reduce the total weight of the aircraft.

As products containing electronics become more ubiquitous throughout everyday life (i.e. wearable electronics, self-driving cars, drones, etc.) they can significantly impact consumer safety. Ensuring that these products perform safely and reliably is critical, especially in products operating in extreme environments in industries like automotive and avionics.
What is our project? Design and Development of diff lock through novel spike shaft design mechanism for SUV and Off – Road Vehicles.
Why did we introduce it? In India 70 % are in rural areas, major transportation has been done through pick up van ( Maximo / JITO /TATA ace/Ashok Dost ) i.e. 1 ~ 5 tone application,
Oil & Gas (O&G) production is the most energy intensive of all industrial processes, consuming about 20% of its output for its own process needs. The energy costs involved in the O&G drilling rig operation can be significantly reduced by efficiently utilizing the natural gas that is currently flared in O&G rigs. Unlike other technologies suggested to achieve this,
Piston-chain arrangement in IC engine is a method to replace the crank shaft by chain/belt and two connected sprocket/wheels. This method can convert the rotational motion of the crank shaft to a combination of rotational and linear motion. The main advantage of this method is its high efficiency. In the present IC engines,
