Monitoring of the EEG (Electro Encefalography) brainwaves is important for medical, sports, relaxation and other activities. We have Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta waves. In alpha state we have physical and mind possibilities amplified. Learning, sports performance, meditations, sleep control. With insight into the alpha state,
The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) / Throttle-By-Wire (TBW) / Drive-By-Wire (DBW) all are same species. Nowadays almost all modern automotive engines are outfitted with DBW technology.
The main aim of this project is to allow students to use an easy, portable and cheap oscilloscope for rapid prototyping purposes. The current oscilloscopes available are very expensive and bulky. They are not suitable for students working on various projects who require an oscilloscope for rapid prototyping.
T-technology enables the controlled and natural supercavitation of submarine-launched torpedoes, projectiles, conveyances and platforms.
