This concept presents a radically new wing design that aims to equip new aircraft designs such as flying car with the aim of emulating the behaviour of helicopters and tilt rotors with much higher efficiency, better performances and higher safety levels.
Floating buoys are used for several purposes. Some platforms are composed of multiple floating modular cubes connected to each other and mostly used in a tied position to the shore to function as landing stages in order to provide sunbathing areas,
Cor-IS is a portable, non-invasive device for the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) through brachial artery endothelium functionality evaluation. Until now, ultrasound imaging of the brachial artery is applied in clinical practice, but this has major disadvantages like poor repeatability, extensive fluctuation in the measured values,
The rise of human activity since the beginning of the 20th century, due to rapid rise in industrialization, made it necessary to create marketing and transport facilities. Further, heavy laden vehicles on roads have put pressure on it.
As global water levels rise many urban environments are being exposed to threat of regular flooding. While coastal defenses can protect many, it is often developing nations (and areas of lower socio-economic status within) that are still badly affected by flooding. Water contamination,
A new mode of combustion in the IC Engine has been significantly demonstrated, patented and can achieve near ideal combustion. This mode would occur in the cylinder proper and retain all combustion from an accelerated start to a complete finish.
