My invention is new in all its small and big details. It is 100% different from any other engine or from any other ideas of engines complete exactly it's without any problem.
I've Syria Patent 5227. There are 3 strokes (2+1), it's without crank, central, it's less weight, less size, less noise, every thing is different, everything is new.
Install a circuit which disables the vehicle's entertainment system if there is an unbelted driver or passenger aboard. Would require all occupants to be belted to make the entertainment system functional. If anyone takes off their seatbelt the radio/dvd player will stop until the seatbelt is put back on.
Alpha-Otto Technologies introduces REV Force, a radically new hydrogen-compatible engine platform that combines a patented mode of engine operation with an advanced combustion strategy to redefine what’s possible in clean, distributed power.
At the core of REV Force is a proprietary engine architecture that delivers a power stroke with every revolution of the crankshaft,
The Neuro-Reactive Training Module is an AI system built for the rehabilitation and improvement or recovery of cognitive and physical function in patients with neurological damage resulting from conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and disease. It works by applying real-time visual stimuli and reactive feedback training with the ultimate objective of enhancing neuroplasticity, reaction time,
In traditional aviation maintenance, all composite damage components have to be removed from the aircraft and sent to a controlled environment to perform the repair. This causes time and money to be lost. Even for a very minor damage, the component still has to be removed from the aircraft and repaired under a controlled environment. So,
In the traditional aviation industry, sealant removal is one of most terrible types of work for front line mechanics. Until now no mechanic would like to pick up this kind of task if they have the right to choose especially inside fuel tanks and or very limited space. As I had over 40+ years in aviation maintenance,
This product design presents an innovative camber morphing wing system integrated with an AI driven control unit, developed to adaptively modify wing camber in real time based on flight conditions. The wing is engineered with a flexible structure and embedded actuators that allow smooth morphing without the use of traditional flaps or slats.
OncoMAPPER, is a next-generation, computationally engineered bioinformatics pipeline designed to revolutionize precision drug discovery in gastric cancer by targeting gut microbiome-associated enzymes. Current approaches often overlook the microbial component of cancer progression, leading to suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Despite growing evidence of microbial influence in oncogenesis, there is a significant gap in targeted,
