With the rapid urbanization and modernization in China, the residential building area has been growing constantly. Application of decorating materials indoor leads to severe volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde pollution, which have adverse health effect on people, including respiratory stimulation, immune stimulation and even cancer risk.
Adsorption technology is the most widely used technology in common purifiers, however,
Today's city buses were built on standard chassis of automotive commercial vehicle manufacturers, they were meant for carrying goods and other applications. Hence city roads are occupied with bulky and space occupying structures. Quite often they might be plying with less than 50% occupancy. Besides polluting.
The ideal City Bus should be smaller, carry the same load of large bus,
In today's scenario fossil fuel prices have gone sky high and fossil fuel is not a pollution free option. We need to reduce the use of fossil fuel for human comfort.

The worldwide increase in chronic heart failure leads more and more to a shortage of donor organs. Increasing waiting times deteriorate the patients’ condition to such an extent that mechanical ventricular support systems become inevitable to bypass the timeframe until a suitable donor heart is identified.
A cooling system in automobile is used to remove excess heat produced in the internal combustion engines. Most automobile cooling system consists of the following components: radiator, water pump, cooling fan, pressure cap and thermostat. Of these components, radiator is the most prominent part of the cooling system, because it transfers the heat from the entire system.
The Space Debris Remover contains a piece of "soft" ferromagnetic material which can be temporarily magnetized. Debris in metal such as nickel, iron will attract to the induced magnet. After the remover attaches to the targeted debris, it will start speeding up and carry the debris away from its original orbit.
