Revolutionizing Underwater Exploration: The RDB55 Brushless Thruster
The underwater world holds a wealth of secrets, beckoning us to explore its depths. However, this exploration hinges on reliable and efficient technology. For too long, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have relied on thruster technology that sees only incremental improvements.
Design Overview:
KinderBin is an innovative, child-friendly robotic dustbin designed to enhance environmental education in early childhood settings. Inspired by the engaging simplicity of lego blocks, this compact and mobile robot is tailored to foster responsible waste management practices among young learners in a playful and accessible manner.
Problem Addressed: Traditional crosswalks often lack adequate visibility, especially at night or during low-light conditions. Furthermore, push-button activation systems can be missed by pedestrians, particularly those with visual impairments or mobility limitations. These limitations contribute significantly to pedestrian safety concerns.
Toka has developed a high efficiency continuously variable transmission (CVT) that's simple, lightweight, compact and is suitable for numerous applications from subsea to aerospace.
Toka could be used as a Variable Speed Drive alternative i.e. CVT-as-VSD, for applications that see broadly varying speed and/or load conditions.
Universal Software Model -- the Future in Software!
100 programming languages? Why not only one?
I built it (60% ready) as a programming language, but it can be viewed as an Operating System for managing any informational problem.
Environmental concerns, particularly global warming and the depletion of natural resources have escalated due to the sustained use of fossil fuels during industrialization. Mitigating these issues requires sustainable energy solutions. Water turbines present a promising avenue for generating electricity, leveraging the abundant and renewable resource of water. However,
175 Coastal States are currently members to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). 10 countries are members to Category A of the IMO Council, 10 in Category B, and 20 in Category C, the good your Government at the time being not include any category of Council at IMO.
It is a small pocket device, which together with your smartphone performs multiple diagnostic analysis tests, reports and monitors the patient's health 24 hours a day/365. Both devices form the perfect symbiosis for the recognition and care of the health of the people.
MAHDAVI-SAR -Search and Rescue Model and Response System
When objects are missing in a marine environment, whether it is missing vessels, missing persons or containers, a primary concern is where these objects will travel and where is the most probable search area.
I. What problem does your design idea solve?
All existing types of Cancer Treatments are Targeting Physical Locations of the Cancer Cells within a continuous physical space occupied by a human body.
