A major drawback with available thumbscrew type products is that sometimes not enough torque can be applied without a separate tool to clamp parts or engage a lock feature which is usually a requirement. The integral wrench greatly increases the torque applied to the screw.
It's hard for an Air Traffic Controller to decide the fate of an aircraft and the people onboard the aircraft when the landing gear does not extend or any one of the gear does not extend by diverting to a sea or a river or a forced belly landing
The Mate Finder pendant flashes an LED when it's near another Mate Finder, but only if it is a “mate.” In a single’s bar, the pendant is used as a kind of “Zodiac Finder,” where singles can find a potential mate based on zodiac compatibility.
As a Zodiac Finder,
This project aims at increasing the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic modules applying the concept of moveable mounting panels to the microscale. Thanks to the improvements in micro-fabrication processes, it is now possible to integrate solar cells over movable structures, realizing the first Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Sunflower (MEMSflower).
Here in Egypt, traffic jams are a major problem. ATC offers a solution for this problem. It looks into the problem from a different perspective. The idea is to install an electronic system on each vehicle. This system will detect illegal movement (cross lanes frequency), illegal driving direction,
This project proposes the development of a Production Logging Electron Spin Resonance Probe to operate in the range of temperatures and pressures found in the crude oil production wells able to provide the surface equipment a real time chemical analysis of the crude collected by each geological layer or
Aim :
To rate the driving practice and behavior among drivers and rate them by their driving behavior
Objective:
To assess the driver's behavior and driving practice in terms of response and reaction time to a fellow motorist and pedestrians and to identify poor drivers & scrutinizing
Bushing bearings are used as a cost effective alternative to much more expensive ball or roller bearings. The main drawback, however, is the radial clearance between the bearing and the shaft that continues to increase as the bearing wears. In addition to the noise generated,
Automatic tarping system was developed for the following reasons:
Confort of dump driver
Saving Time
Saving Fuel
Eliminate the risk factor
Make it automatic
The confort was increased because the dump's driver doesn't need to out of cabin to put the tarping sytem.
WDL has designed & developed a turbo-expander. This is used in a boosted IC engine to reduce the charge air temperature below ambient temperature. This in turn improves engine performance, fuel economy and emissions.
To be effective, a turbo-expander needs a high effciency turbine.
