The MedPro is a portable drug infusion device which patients can wear comfortably whilst receiving treatments.
Reduction of Air/Wind Energy Transfer to High Speed Trains
Vehicle designs have traditionally incorporated linear shapes to reduce aerodynamic forces. I.e. base region pressure drag, parasite drag, wake vortex shedding and pressure rise at underpasses and tunnels. However, wind is a non-linear force that increases vehicle instabilities, adding greater rolling resistance, fuel consumption and damage/wear to wheels or tires.
This design is a mobile micro-lab (MML) empowering individuals and remote health care providers with rapid, frequent and inexpensive access to vital health status information previously requiring long waits, fees and invasive procedures or denied by insurance.
