This design is based in more than five years of experimentation, which was originated by our aim to make the High UVI/RH coastal Peruvian desert.
Mars UVC & UVB at surface is assumed to be ~ 10 times Earth and UVA close to our planet values.
The system is to be funded by Public / Private Partnership with a 30% government investment.
The Catch all Harvest concept
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 beneath the tree or bush (the illustrations are for apple orchards).
The problem is warming up thermosensor when measuring resistance as a result of the allocation of Joule heat.
To control thermosensor (Fig. 1, a) proposed a contact device (Fig. 1b) with elastic gold contacts and measuring pulse duration was 100 ms (Fig. 1, B).
The Greenhouse Solar Cooker (patent pending NG/P/2016/426) is a new green technology that combines the attributes of a parabolic solar cooker and the ability of carbon dioxide laser tube to absorb electromagnetic radiation and convert it into useful heat energy.
Cloud storage is gaining popularity. In enterprise settings, we see the rise in demand for data outsourcing, which assists in the strategic management of corporate data. It is also used as a core technology behind many online services for personal applications. Nowadays,
The technology levels for the Quad Fold Helicopter (QFH) concept are based on those existing around the year 2010. The levels at 2050 can be assumed advanced some from those levels. An important technology feature is the rotor drive motor at the end of each of the folding booms.
Mashup provides a way of forming new applications from existing Web content using APIs provided by different Web sites. Such a nature makes mashup a promising technology to deliver a Web-based Enterprise application with rich information of various themes, so called thematic mashup. However,
