Culture patch with monolayer nano-filers on a frame in-vivo like extracellular matrix made of monolayer nanofibers is suited for cell culture and tissue formation. It allows minimizing the exogenous contact and maximizing the uptake rate cells, while the micro-frame and the patch form allow easy handling, easy control of self-organization. Honeycomb frames of different size,
The world is beginning to search for alternative sources of energy. I have produced bio-fuels from used and new oils that are worth applying because the specifications and composition of biodiesel from cooking oils is better than ordinary diesel in terms of low carbon emissions, no sulfur, and high thermal capacity.
The idea of the product came from a focus on natural creams instead of chemical creams that could cause damage in the long run. I have produced a cream for the treatment of foot cracks from natural materials that make bees wax, olive oil, Shea butter, coconut oil and vitamin E.
The technical solution refers to the device of the catamaran, which allows, due to the energy of the sun, wind, and chemical energy, to move cargo and passengers during sea transportation.
The main elements of the catamaran construction include: (1) two hulls connected on top by a deck-type bridge (2) felling,
Needs Statement: A safe method of reducing hospitalizations for at-risk patients with heart failure in the outpatient setting. The device is a Biphasic furosemide transdermal patch, with coated microneedles. Microneedles are coated in a bolus dose of furosemide (in blue) for immediate release, followed by sustained release of maintenance dose (in green) over 5-7 days.
How does flapping panels turbine work?
The Flap Turbine (FT) is a novel type of vertical axis turbine (VAWT) where the blades are made of movable flaps. These movable flaps, when combined together, act as a sail or blade for the VAWT.
The main objective of this Luggage Bot is to make it convenient for people to carry things and load (around) or above 5kg, especially for elders, physically challenged (Divyang), women and others who find it tough to carry heavy loads. This will be made possible by making the bot follow them instead of dragging heavy luggage.
The innovation is a device used to extract plant active ingredient in one step, by combining the features of 4 devices that are used in plant extraction in addition to other options.
We have invented a diagnostic sensor capable of identifying the unique gait signatures of multiple pathologies, including Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, traumatic brain injuries, Alzheimer’s syndrome and related conditions. Moreover, by employing proprietary sensor data processing algorithms, the measured gait data can be evaluated in real time to provide warnings of impending falls.
