Growing population of older adults wants to live independent life style in their homes or senior communities. While older people can look out for each other, they cannot help much when one of them falls on the floor except to make a phone call.
We suggest a new design of adaptive suspension systems of vehicles with better technical characteristics in comparison with existing designs. There have been developed the following main suspension components of vehicles: 1) a lockable adaptive shock absorber with a wide range of control performance, implementing "lockout" mode by means of blocking adaptive shock absorber,
To aid rescue operations for victims trapped under rubble in the aftermath of an earthquake, a wristband will be used, which upon activation, will measure the pulse of the victim and transmit it through a set of drones hovering over the affected areas to a central database. Based on this information,
Why do we turn on the lights when it’s sunny outside? For many of us, artificial light has completely replaced natural light. Lighting can account for up to 50% of building electricity consumption, and up to 56% of energy bills in offices.
