Although thousands of types of filters work functionally and efficiently, cleaning up filter housings and processing collected dust is a dirty and messy burden in all applications such as vacuum cleaner, dust collector, air cleaner, HVAC, air intake, waste water treatment etc. Dust exposure and dirt contacting are dangerousally for people suffering from allergy and asthma,
The objective of this project is to develop a safety technology that will give a warning signal before a collision, which will alert the driver and automatically apply brakes if the driver does not apply the brakes.
• Pre-collision warning system is a technology that prevents accidents.
The innovation and driving force for the wind turbine solar water pump is brought about by the needs for basic resources such as safe and drinkable water in third world countries as well as environments that make attainability hard if not almost impossible. The lack of electricity and an electrical grid.
This would improve the quality of life,
MANTARAYA Delta Challenger
Military & Rescue, missions.
MANTARAYA Delta Challenger is an only underwater propelling device, because the diver stays in the wake of that device without pointless efforts, reducing air consumption and turbulence.
THAT BI-TURBO SYSTEM improves the hydrodynamic coefficient of penetration [Ch = Rv= Cv.(Re.K/L)], saves energy, increases the velocity and the autonomy.
The present invention relates to a space launch vehicle used for launching spacecraft. Said vehicle uses a magnetic levitation system in order to reduce friction since the vehicle floats above rails, like a bullet train. The system uses magnetic coils to propel the vehicle and to move same away from the quiescent point thereof.
The invention relates to the use of the collision of matter and antimatter as a means of propulsion in a spacecraft, to the control system for said engine and to a block diagram of the connections for same, in which all of the functions are divided into modules.
1. windshield mounted camera, image recognition software and interface to both operator controls and vehicle speed controls.
2. user engages controller which recognizes road-side speed signs and sets vehicle speed and annunciates speed change to user.
3. similar to a cruise control, but reacts to changes in posted speed limits.
4. operator controls set, release,
If you have three contacts for monovision, you need this invention!
As a person ages, the lens inside his/her eyes loses elasticity and is no longer able to focus on images, such as printing, up close. Traditionally, this condition, called presbyopia, has been corrected by wearing reading glasses, or for those people who also need correction for distance,
The domestic pressure cooker is one of the essential cooking utensils in the Indian kitchens. In the domestic pressure cooker, the whistling indicates the status of the cooking food. The domestic pressure cooker need to be in observation to hear the sound of the whistling. Once the whistling sound is missed to hear,
The objective of the project is to help the physically challenged persons having both hand and leg impairments so that they can operate their bed and its movements through their voice commands.
