In present work we are going to provide a solution to car drivers who don’t have proper quantitative state of their tires.
Nano-robots is an innovative concepts about development of nano-scale size of automated machines. These machines will be able to enter the cells and sense the molecular environment within the cells with the help of equipped sensors.
This is a small and lightweight device that can be worn on the ear or on glasses (recommended) and is designed to measure accurate cardiovascular information through the superficial temporal artery near the ears. The measurable information includes blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation level and pulse waveform.
On an average only 30% of the energy in the fuel supplied to an automobile engine is used to push the vehicle forward. A major portion of the rest of the energy, accounting to close to 60%,
The entry presents the aerodynamic design, mechanical design and prototyping of a unique unmanned aerial platform. This platform is being developed in response to a perceived requirement for a more flexible surveillance and remote sensing platform than is currently available. Missions for such a platform include coastal surveillance,
Known vehicle suspensions equipped with steel springs feature generally linear damping characteristic determined by a generally constant spring stiffness k = dF/dx, where F is force and x is suspension's flex. This spring stiffness k can be chosen to be optimal only for a fixed vehicle mass m.
The Recent development in the automotive navigation system have rooted the vehicle guidance in the form of satellite navigation system which relies on the network signals transmitted and analyzed by the satellites.
