BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Erratic power supply is one huge factor limiting advancement in education in the developing world especially in rural environments, taking its toll in the area of basic experiments in sciences, engineering and technology.
Laboratory Bench Power supply is a common electrical/electronic power unit found in laboratories.
What SGG technology does
Smart Glass Guidance (SGG) is an information service system technology for users' interactive retrieval of service information proximate to user location within a preset service perimeter. The service perimeter can be any defined space in- or outdoors that provides a set of service functionality like guiding a tour in a museum or an art gallery,
The main idea of this project is use of wind turbines in the airplane design in order to reduce consumption of usual fuel types greatly.
What CopperPak does
Complex microprocessor are important, but simple discrete diodes are similarly indispensable. Conventional wisdom is squeezing everything onto the same wafer, yet, just not all components can go on the same wafer. A power-supply diode should not go on the same semiconductor of a microprocessor.
What CoaLCO does
CoaLCO is an expert system for coal-fired powerplant aiming for reduced overall power genration cost. It’s ultimate goal is carbon reduction. The abouve statements may sound suprising(or unbelievably good) because burning coal emits carbon. Indeed CoaLCO does not make any powerplant emit less carbon. Instead,
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful nuclear medical imaging technique which allows obtaining functional images of the body in a non-invasive way and diagnosing oncologic, cardiac and neurologic diseases at an early stage.
The invention relates to heat engines and, more specifically, to positive displacement internal combustion engines, and is particularly concerned with very large rotary internal combustion engines fueled by solid particulate fuels like coal dust, destined to drive electric current generators, and intended to replace large steam turbines offering at least 50% overall efficiency typical for large Diesel engines,
A prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. When a leg is amputated or lost, a prosthetic device, or prosthesis, can play an important role in rehabilitation. For many people, an artificial limb can improve mobility and the ability to manage daily activities,
ABSTRACT:
In this project we aim at storing and utilising the energy which is generally wasted in the form of heat, during braking action of vehicle. When brakes are applied, heat is generated, but this energy can be utilised in some form. There are various systems available to to store and utilise this energy.
A normal wheelchair provides mobility to a handicapped person over flat land. But when it comes to staircases they'll always have to depend on others to get over such obstacles. Although there are places where we can find disabled friendly arrangements, it's impossible to provide it everywhere.
