This air filtration system will clean PM2.5, PM10 & NOx from ambient air at the rate of more than 10,000 cubic meters per hour. It can be installed at various polluted city centers, road junctions, parks, stadiums, hospitals, workshops, etc., places with electric power provision.
REWARD WIN-BIN is used for managing the household waste. Biodegradable & non-biodegradable. In this waste can be distinguished into two parts. There is different working for different processes. First process for biodegradable, the biodegradable is converted into fertilizer for organic farming. Non-Biodegradables are kept for the land decomposition.
An efficient, geared turbofan jet engine with reduced complexity and cost compared to conventional alternatives. I have talked with experienced technicians, as well as done some extensive research on the technologies involved, and have revised this concept over the past year and a half. As modeled, it is not 100% ready for commercial use,
Summary
A better understanding of the mind of the person should produce a healthier person through messages, and better medical experiences when the person comes to the health system. We present a system which reveals what aspects of the continuum of health/wellness are important, which are not (Fig1.) We show the possibility that across many of these experiences people differ,
This project is about thermal insulation for horizontal rooftops through tiles manufactured with recycled crumb rubber from scrap tires that responds to socio-ecological problems caused by scrap tire piles, such as impacts to the ecosystem (fires/groundwater pollution…), health impacts (vectors/fires...
The standard silicon on isolator (SOI) wafer has suffered from low thermal conductivity and, as result, from bad power performance. There are 2 reasons: low thermal conductivity of BOX(10W/K*m) and low thermal conductivity of host Silicon wafer (130W/K*m).
Drivers relying on just a cell phone and the 911 system do not have a complete safety net. A visual cry for help is always legal. Expert first responders recognize that “simple” is best for saving lives. My rugged and patented answer is a license plate frame that, at the push of a button,
Medical mistakes are the third leading cause of patient deaths in the United States of America; numbering approximately 450,000 deaths in 2016 at a cost of $1.44T or 45% of the total annual cost of healthcare. The root cause of medical mistakes is cognitive overload; which is caused by too much information and too little time to acquire, analyze,
By sintering ceramic powder with metal powder under very high pressure and temperature, elastic and plastic deformable metal rich ceramic can be created. Although the metal the powder was added to the ceramic powder, thus sintered bulk ceramic does not show sign of metal by X-ray diffraction check and elastically and plastically deformable. In addition,
