Mars offers an attractive first step for expansion into the solar
system and beyond. Offering a range of possibilities, Mars plays a
vital role in our future. Humans have not ventured into the extreme
deep space environment, as this hostile environment proves difficult
to overcome.
What is this technology?
The proposed technology provides an “Improved Homogeneous Charge Spark Ignition” that can be fast, easily and economically applied to current vehicles fleet, without manufacture cost increases to new internal combustion engines, diesel and gasoline engines.
This technology can provide solutions to tackle the Global Warming; CO2 Greenhouse Gas “GHG”
Poor farmers from around the world need affordable ways to pump underground water to irrigate their crops, so they can feed their families and earn income. To respond to this challenge, we present a low-cost and low-maintenance steam pump powered by solar heat.
Since the 17th century,
This is a new type of hybrid combustor for turbine driven jet engines which will utilise the convenience of using a conventional combustor to start scramjet combustion that will drive the turbine of a jet engine. The idea is that, after the jet engine has started by means of using the turboscramjet combustor’s built-in conventional combustor,
Make a hub where a driver can be welcomed by humans but all the mechanism are fully automated and schedulable/visible from a mobile device. From the access point the car is left with its key in it. The customer might have planned a car wash, a repair, customization, a tune-up or even to sell it.
key Features:
- One of the few calculators with resizable window (up to full screen) in order to allow a wide input/output field for huge numbers (horizontal) and deeply nested calculation (vertical).
- Nesting of calculation kept shown in calculation area that may become vertically scrollable for deeply nested calculation.
I discovered and then defined "thermodielectrophoresis" (or tDEP) in the specification of my US Patent 7,486,000 as being the constant flow or movement of a dielectric medium through a non-uniform electric field that's caused by an increase or decrease in the electrical permittivity of the dielectric medium due to the proper application of thermal energy from any source.
Breastfeeding is the natural way to feed a baby, and the benefits of breastfeeding extend well beyond basic nutrition. However, some women, as much as they want to, are just unable to breastfeed, at least not exclusively.
It is therefore desirable to provide nutritional compositions, such as synthetic infant formulas, that can produce nutritional benefits in infants.
These days cell/smart phones are used for a variety of purposes. The basic functionality of any phone is to make calls and text (SMS). Due to various applications usage, battery drains quickly and we need to find source to charge quickly. I have seen many people struggling to find a power plug at the airport to charge the phone.
