Introduction
------------
Sol-Stak is an open, small system, embedded prototyping paradigm.
We do a lot of prototyping across multiple vendor systems. Reference designs and software support for these systems are a fragmented, multi-standard, multi-faceted, mess.
Prototyping embedded systems has very particular focus and objectives.
I will try to add a drawing I made several years ago, but this conceptual design is easy to visualize.
Basically this is a rocket launch double escape system conceptual design. The double escape system may also be used for re-entry.
The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo rockets all employed a launch escape system.
Drowning is the second leading cause of death for children, and most occur in residential swimming pools. On average, 5,100 children are treated for submersion ijuries each year, and 383 pool related fatalities reported per year involving children younger than 15 years of age. 76% of reported fatalities were children younger than 5 years of age.
Robot charger.
Intellectual and autonomous (with some exceptions for emergency cases).
Main activity: charge e-vehicle batteries.
Additional activities:
To collect information about free space in parking.
A Home Water Power Station using proven, replicated technologies... Dozens of people have built and shown generators running solely on water as input. The energy is extracted from the Quantum Vacuum, ZPE or ambient, just like the energy that runs your Atoms and Electrons. Have yours ever run down? Do you wind them up each morning?
A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funded research program was performed to develop different technologies to improve the intelligence and reliability of aircraft electrical wiring and interconnector systems. One of the developed technologies is referred to as the SMART (Status and Motion Activated Radiofrequency Tag) sensor.
This concept enriches the user of a manual wheelchair by offering an ergonomic alternative to the present method of grasping & pushing a cold slippery hand rim.
The concept answers the need of the wheelchair-bound who have reduced hand & arm capacity or prehension problems.
A strategic telecommunications device(s) situational management command chair, tactical management overview advantage, and authoritative hot seat position combination for advantageous command, control, power and influence; accordingly,
I am an undergraduate student. I often work with computers but the thing is I hate to type the materials or assignment, class notes, permission letter etc. and the book author will write the book and then they prepare a digitized book by approaching any publication.
Centrifugal Separator Media.
This Device can be used on a vast scale for:
The separation and purification gases, liquids, powders;
Extraction of SO from exhausts of power-plants for prevention acid rains;
Extraction of toxic gases from chemical plant exhausts;
