The MEAS Model 140 inline DC amplifier module is an advancement in sensor signal conditioning.
Measurement Specialties'patent pending technology allows users to get rid of those pesky zero offsets from their pressure transducer, load cell, or accelerometer locally or remotely - right before you start taking data. Finally,
The AWD Butterfly has so much potential for its future. The car leans like a bike, changes wheelbase, changes into positive and negative camber,
This motor is based on the concept of a resonant energy reaction. An example of a resonant energy reaction is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse of 1940. A constant wind caused the bridge to sway.
Correlating recorded sounds that plants make when treated with a specific stressor (hot, cold, wet , dry, etc.) we can listen in while increasing our understanding of their physiology and resilience.
Composite materials are gaining widespread use in aerospace, automotive, wind energy and other industries because of their high strength-to-weight ratio. However, composite structures are highly prone to impact damage. Very often, the presence and extent of the damage is hidden from view,
Talk about 3-D printing is everywhere, however it’s old news.
Every laser printer deposits and fuses a layer of ink onto a page that is easily felt with the fingertips and is, in fact, printing in the third dimension.
BACKGROUND:
Precise localization is a prime safety requirement for SAFETY of any mobile vehicle (aircraft, rolling stock, car, coach, truck, etc.) and people (as per emergency, earthquakes, etc.) today.
The objective of the study was to redesign a photovoltaic ground mounting structure because the actual frame is not optimized. We used DEM software.
Italian legislation has stipulated that a photovoltaic ground mounting structure must resist four types of loads and their combination case: self-weight, wind,
The object of this project is to build a better 3-wheeled vehicle by using a virtual axis steer system (VASS) on the one front wheel of a (1F2R) trike.
This system is designed for use as an inexpensive high performance, all weather, high gas mileage, safe,
New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA) was flooded due to a breach in the levee.
Small gaps in such a levee can easily be filled with sandbags if enough of them are around and there are enough people to fill and place the bags.
