Conventional air conditioning system using mechanical compressor consumes more power. Alternative for this is use of vapor absorption refrigeration system which uses the chemical compression instead of mechanical compression which requires less power .As generator and pump are the only components consuming power in such system,
Chess is an intense battle of intelligence that requires great creativity, problem solving skills, foresight and risk assessment. As such, the game has become an iconic symbol of status and intellect.

NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) has developed a dramatically improved system for aircraft ground collision avoidance, which could prevent ~100 deaths each year in the U.S. alone.
The management of future health care costs is dependent on the development of new methods of delivering the appropriate level of patient care by the most efficient means possible while ensuring the highest possible quality outcomes.
LiFi communication has the potential of gigabits/sec data rate allowing much faster streaming of movies. It is also secure because light cannot penetrate walls. Only communication devices within illumination region can receive the data. However, there are drawbacks.
Radiant heating options in buildings (mainly in floors and ceilings) have been available for many years but have seen limited market penetration, though radiant floors are currently popular in some high-end new homes.
We have developed and tested a strain gage that surpasses conventional foil technology, which is limited to less than 20 percent strains. This was a significant shortcoming given that new structural components on aerospace vehicles include highly elastic, low Young's modulus materials. For example,
The usual Luggage bags are very tedious to pack, unpack and it also occupies space when not in use. So to solve this problem the idea is to create such a suitcase or bag which can be accommodate into the wardrobe or cupboard itself.
About 300,000 children are born with sickle cell anemia every year and, if left undiagnosed, can lead to “silent” strokes and other serious complications. This hereditary disease is most common in Central and West Africa but in these developing areas,
