A novel hitch system for remotely determining the tongue weight and total weight of a towed vehicle and other parameters without the use of a scale is provided. The system as currently constructed includes a transducer capable of measuring 0-1,500 pounds tongue weight in one-pound increments and a portable display for wirelessly receiving the information.
This is very useful for who all are driving two wheelers.

Advanced Monitoring and Diagnostics (AMD) is a modular real-time on-line advisory knowledge base (KB) developed using Gensym's G2 . AMD is designed for application to continuous processes typified by refineries and chemical plants. It is an expert system based on first principles and principles of control which differentiates it from traditional heuristics based expert systems.
The Triple Fuselage Flying Wing concept takes the idea of an aircraft built in the shape of one large wing to a new level. The idea of the triple fuselage is using multiple, in this case three, standard tube fuselages and building a flying wing body structure surrounding them. As seen in the illustration,
