Our proposal is all about a “smart” mirror in a fitting room of a store that suggests us to have a jeans with the red shirt you brought in. It snaps a video so you can compare the image side by side with other colorful shirts you try on.
Millions of people and tons of cargo are daily transported by the air daily all over the world. Still, the safety of air transport is questionable due to the number and the frequency of accidents reported worldwide.
Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles with internal combustion engines all have in common one dirty little secret. After the engine is started, and until the catalytic converter is up to operating temperature,
The Problem
• Conventional sources of electricity are ultimately unsustainable.
o Nonrenewable
o Generate pollution and waste
o Toxic and dangerous materials
• Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, are often not available when and where needed, .
• Without grid-scale electricity storage,
Super-Resolution X-ray Imaging System (SRX) is an innovative solution to acquire exponentially high resolution X-ray images using current X-ray detector with sub-pixel displacement method. SRX system consists of an X-ray detector mounted on a 2-dimensional micro-displacement actuator.
Portable Energy Harvesting Magnetic Refrigerator
Refrigeration is one of the main source in many sectors such as Food processing Industries, Materials manufacturing industries, Pharmaceutical industries and the list goes on. In a typical refrigerator, a circulating refrigerant such as Freon enters the compressor as a vapor.
Conventional helicopters usually represent a compromise between hovering capabilities and cruise speed. While many new configurations are aimed at improving the speed and maneuverability, such as tilt-rotors and compound helicopters, few of them attempt to increase the load lifting capabilities in hover.
The Flooding Roadway Indicator device provides safety awareness in flooding conditions, through illumination or visual identification of the road pathway and/or surrounding dangers . It provides the benefit of safety through the clear identification of the roadways,
