Nowadays, wastewater treatment plants should not be considered as just treatment systems, but rather as a factory at which value-added by-products can be produced without any extra cost. In this context, activated sludge bacteria can produce special lipids known as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) that are potential bio-plastics;
Rapid prototyping is a technique used for obtaining prototypes from three dimensional digital data, and has as its principle adding material in flat layers, making this manufacture also known as additive manufacturing or manufacturing by layer.
When applied to the medical field, assists cardiologists in the diagnosis,
The new external defibrillator system would offer a 50x decrease in weight and 150x decrease in volume of the existing external field defibrillators, making it attractive for forward battlefield deployment by the US Armed Forces and for commercial/agency use.
For the latter,
Car suspensions have changed little in the last 100 years: a spring coupled with a shock absorber, to compensate for sudden level variations. A major flaw of this system is the symmetry of suspensions during a turn. Because of inertia,
Panoramic photography is a well-known technique, used by photographers who want to take pictures with a huge field of view. The maximum field of view is represented by a sphere.
The main objective of our project is to develop a wheelchair which can be controlled by the movement of the eyes for the mobility of the old and physically disabled. In our project we are using a goggle to which we are fitting two eye tracking sensors.
The project focuses on analysis and design of a special hospital bed designed for the department of anesthesiology and resuscitation. The bed is adjusted for the use at the department of anesthesiology and resuscitation not only with its look but also with its functions.
The proposal offers a mean of using the ground air currents on the power lines right of ways that normally lie fallow. These air currents are generally of low velocity, thus requiring a different approach to the present method of depending on high velocities to provide high RPM's.
Today we are familiar with the hybrid concept in four wheelers. It has a advantage of fuel saving, low pollution. But why not in two wheelers? Here it is. The Hybrid Bike. It is combination of regular IC engine powered bike+electric bike.
