Briquettes are a densified form of agricultural remains that have a certain calorific value and thermal usefulness once they have been compacted. Briquettes are slowly becoming popular as sources of fuel for boilers in semi-rural India. Not only for boilers,
6 tetrahedrons connected in all sides where the volume in each tetrahedron is divided into 4 compartments. The whole furniture can be wrapped around itself, inwards or ourwards in 4 orientations. 3 poeople can sit around the Flexagon.,
The proposed concept of active brake cooling in racing cars called G -Cooling System
(GCS) is designated for the Formula One racing cars. Another group/type/ area of races where you can apply GSC is high class racing sport cars (Porsche, Lamborghini, Mustang ...). The cooling system is based on the assumptions of operation at high speeds.
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-, water- or air-based) to which it is mounted to offer navigation suggestions.
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). The net provides a collecting path to a storage bin below each tree.
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.
