Wireless sensor technology offers considerable advantages for aerospace vehicles. In traditional hardwired avionics systems, sensor integration requires installation of literally tons of physical cable, resulting in significant increases in weight, development and maintenance cost, and time to make required repairs and modifications.
Despite the promise of wireless avionics systems,
Cycling has undergone a digital revolution. Over the last 15 years our bikes have gone from having simple cyclocomputers to basically having an onboard computer. Heart rate, power measurement, GPS, gradient, temperature, it’s all there. But what about the biggest factor of them all?
In general prototype models of aerospace vehicle, aircraft or high speed wing bodies (even in automobiles), objects are tested in a wind tunnel test facility to get theoretical data to design the object at optimum solutions. Wind tunnels are available in a large range of mach numbers at subsonic to hyper velocity flow range.
ARVA represents a new aircraft concept with a configuration that is safe, quiet and efficient as well as easy to control, high compact and which is able to accomplish vertical takeoff and landing with transition to and from forward flight. The new ARVA concept uses a revolutionary design,
According to the report of the World Health Organization (WHO) Ischemic heart disease and stroke are the world’s biggest killers, accounting for a combined 15 million deaths in 2013. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years. Strokes are brain attacks. They occur when the blood supply to the brain becomes blocked.
Invention pertains to the mitigation of Coriolis force in a system or apparatus using a novel method of rotation. The centrifuge is rotated in its primary direction at twice the target speed of rotation, while simultaneously rotating in the opposite direction, but at once the target speed.
The persistence of insecticides and pesticides in the soil have made the availability of healthy food scarce on the Earth. The project focus on a sustainable solution to various problems in agriculture and food. The features of the projects have been listed below.
1. Soil-less agriculture- The project identifies that for the growth of the plant air, light,
This is a small box of 3"x 3"x 2", portable, powered by 5V. It is provided with a 3 watt speaker for emitting high decibel sound.
This is designed particularly with ladies in mind since mostly they are victims for robbery, sexual and physical attacks. When attacked, the victim is dumb founded initially by shock to raise the voice.
The Rapid Cooling Station (RCS) and Integrated Cooling Ensemble (ICE) together provide a comprehensive, cheap, and easy-to-implement solution to one of the largest issues facing soldiers, firefighters, and other suited responders in the field today: heat management. Based on the requirements of protective equipment, significant heat builds within a subject’s suit even under moderate conditions and effort.
