The innovation introduces a Hybrid Transmission System (the System).
Unlike other mild hybrid configurations, which only enable the administration of TORQUE available from the hybrid set (e.g., internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machine (EM)), this new mechanism allows TORQUE and RPM to be managed,
Whenever a plane touches the ground, rubber is pulverized from the tires until they adhere to the ground.
Small electric motors may be used to rotate the wheels such that their peripheral speed matches the plane speed at landing to avoid them sliding at initial touch.
This innovation relates to the field of opposed piston internal combustion engines (OP-ICE) having two pistons in one cylinder configured to have facing heads. Specifically,
Traditional instrument clusters pose problems when used while operating vehicles and industrial equipment. Why? They are difficult to read quickly. That delays operator responses, both to information in the instrument cluster and to the environment around the operator. Delays can lead to accidents causing property damage, personal injuries,
Since the creation of the automobile in 1886, automobiles have been moving towards autonomous operation to increase convenience and safety. It began with the automatic transmission, then the invention of automatic windows, and many more innovations. Today, every major OEM is innovating the next generation of automation,
These Prosthetics are designed out of recycled ABS plastic waste.
Three hollow cylindrical segments like human fingers with similar cross section and length connected with hinges and and assembled using a trigger spring mechanics from within the structure. To hold in position there are indentured on the joint,
The present invention (called “Smart Charger”) relates to an innovative charging device for any ICE, operating with conventional fuels or biofuels or hydrogen, featuring more efficient, reliable, compact and cheaper than today charging devices (i.e. superchargers or turbochargers).
A short description of “Smart Charged,” from innovation,
