We propose the project of a digital watch, realized by means of inkjet printed silver conductive tracks based on an innovative nanostructured ink, over a glass substrate. The transparency/translucency of glass may result in interesting aesthetic effects depending on the color of the underlying wall/support.
Introduction
Today’s world is concerned about the depletion of natural resources and the impact of human activity on the environment. Making automotive transportation more efficient is one of the major goals of engineering research.
Non-invasive Imaging Method
A: Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) is a non-invasive imaging method applied in industry, geoelectrics during the last decades and recently for medical monitoring and analysis of the human lung functions.
B: What does "non-invasive“ mean?
EnviroSynth is an analogue music synthesizer aimed at the renewable energy/educational electronics market. It consists of 2 Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), 1 four-channel Mixer, 1 Filter and 1 Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA). These are built entirely in analogue electronic hardware, and are based on a low power,
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In our modern and globalized world the dependence on fossil fuels for industrial and commercial companies is continuously increasing, gas,
The Challenge
X-ray radiation exposure is a major concern for millions of travelers, baggage handlers, and workers in the medical industry and industrial and homeland security sectors. In 2011 the European Union has banned backscatter machines in airports due to uncertain X-ray radiation exposure,
The modern vehicles operate with lead-acid batteries, which are not environmentally correct, beyond the fact that they are expensive and have toxic products (sulfuric acid and the lead itself). In this work, a new idea is proposed in order to replace such electrochemical systems with new compounds.
This device will function as a replacement for a human translator. But it is more powerful than a human. Two individuals speaking different languages will use this device to communicate by talking to the device.
The device will identify the language by recording a few sentences from person A and B.
Forgetting an infant in a vehicle is a dangerous situation that has led to numerous infant deaths. A Pulitzer Prize winning article [Gene Weingarten, 2009 Washington Post] captures the heart of this devastating situation. Studies have shown that all parents have risk of forgetting a child regardless of education,
If people are in a place without possibility to recharge mobile phone battery, this mechanical charger can help. The charger is built into a pencil. It consists of linear alternator, rectifier, capacitor, constant current source and LED. It can be used as pocked lamp if LED is switched on.
