To reduce the cost of patient care, a novel type of microprobe that measures the levels of drugs, hormones, or proteins in 1 drop sample of a biologic fluid has been designed. With this device physicians can diagnose various diseases, monitor progress of a therapy,
In order to ensure true freedom and independence all basic needs of humanity must be met with self sufficiency, and transportation is one of them.
This work presents the experimental performance analysis of a inclined solar still with baffles for fresh water production. Several researchers make many configurations in solar still for enhancing the fresh water production. On the economic aspect the solar still were costly so that it didn't reached the end users.
This work presents the experimental investigation of improved inclined solar still. Many researchers going for various configurations in-order to improve the efficiency and also for augmentation of fresh water from the solar still.
Engine Health Monitor (EHM) refers to a device that, installed in the blow by line of a piston aircraft engine, monitors the gas flow that by passes the piston rings (Blow By - BBY). It is a totally passive system,
The Ram Accelerator, invented in 1983 at the University of Washington, is a novel mass driver consisting of a long straight tube filled with combustible gaseous mixtures such as hydrogen and oxygen. Upon ignition, an aeroshell “surfs the combustion wave” with sufficient velocity to exit the atmosphere.
Photon robots
Product design idea
High energy waves are used to generate the robot functions. These waves are concentrated to the point that robot should move. For examples powerful laser is used by satellites to operate objects such as a patient in rural area.
Our mission at CFS is to provide a sustainable agricultural production system, using Systems Engineering and Integration practices (as used by NASA and other technologically sound entities) to develop highly automated Smart Aquaponic Greenhouse facilities that are Off-Grid and infrastructure independent.
The Problem:
The current catheterization procedure for a Mitrofanoff urostomy is to use a catheter and a syringe, emptying the bladder one syringeful at a time, uncoupling, emptying into a bowl, recoupling and drawing the next syringeful. The biggest risk is spilling urine next to the patient,
