Railway is one of the most important forms of transportations in India. In India, especially in Chennai, the average speed of the electric train is 100 kmph (62 miles per hour).
While the train is running, the pressure is decreased on the atmosphere near the surface of the train.
According to Bernoulli's law, as the train starts and gains momentum,
Use of photochromatic windshield on vehicles eliminating the need of sun visors.
(1) Protecting the driver's eyes from sharp, direct sunlight which may be a distraction while driving.
(2) Preventing the need for the driver to take his hand off the steering wheel to open the sun visor.
(3) Preventing glare from the headlights of oncoming traffic during night driving.
2015 was an uneasy year for automakers because of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emission scandal in tests. Up to 40-times higher NOx emission was reported in some diesel engine cars. NOx gases are very hazardous to the environment and because of this they must be constrained by special norms like Euro 6 and preceding.
Device for carrying mobile advertising images in subways
Therefore: it is considered as if it projects a series of images with a bright optical device mounted on a moving body, those images accompany the body to the velocity of same body (vehicle).
Train moving in a tunnel can carry a projection device, like projectors in cinemas,
Demand of fossil fuels used for energy generation is growing, resulting in emissions of carbon dioxide and other contaminant particles. In the last twenty years the global primary energy consumption grew 45% (BP 2011), increasing emissions of carbon dioxide between 1993 and 2011 by 44%. The excessive presence of these particles in the Earth's atmosphere intensifies the greenhouse effect,
Organically Derived Security Protocol is a zero knowledge key management (ZKKM) solution for securing ECU-to-ECU communication within the connected vehicle and IoT applications; particularly for transmissions between externally exposed, edge ECU sensors connected to ECUs within the connected vehicle infrastructure. Specific benefits include reductions of communication latency, implementation complexity,
Tarta,is designed for mass planting of plants in deserts and drylands. Tarta is composed of clay and vermicompost.These are to survive and help grow the seed inside of it.
