Bug-out boat, really?
Our initial scoffing aside, we have bowed to pressure from some folks who are adamant about having a 'go to' place when there are unexpected events by natural or human havoc. It can be parked on land, trucked elsewhere, float in a pond or ply lakes and coastal waters.
This entry is for developing a persistent near space solid lighter than air reconnaissance and communications platform that would in many instances take the place of a satellite, be considerably more maneuverable, cheaper to make and operate, and produce better quality images while lingering in trouble spots indefinitely.
After life of a person, some people go through psychological issues which affect their health & personality. We can reduce that pain & probably speed up recovery of health by simulating a desirable environment using audio & video.
Do you want to live after life & stay connected with your grandchildren?
Civil aircraft Lru,s send data to DFDR. Output of DFDR & OMS suggest to proceed inside aircraft. Output will be present on FMS-MCDU & monitoring display as a safety index. Pilot & engineer would proceed with further action based on comment.

In modern society, speed of information circulation is increasingly critical. Responding to this need, I have designed a project that serves both police and citizens in saving time, security and effort.
This project aims to develop a security system on all vehicles;
Our Project, Sign Language Interpreter, is a hardware-cum-software device that converts sign language into text and audio. Basically, this project is designed for deaf and dumb people. This can include hand gestures, their movements, orientation of fingers and facial expression to convey what the person is trying to say. It follows American Sign Language.
Peatlands are very important for the earth. According to the website www.iucn.org, damaged peatlands are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, annually releasing almost 6% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Peatland restoration can therefore bring significant emissions reductions. This device will help for the peatlands monitoring using IoT technology. This device will measure humidity and temperature of peatlands,
I assumed finding and buying a household graywater reuse system would be simple.
CU Skunks at the University of Colorado Boulder has designed a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft and aims to fabricate this aircraft with a special carbon nanofiber (CNF) reinforced composite to achieve near-zero radar cross-section.
Technology
VTOL capability combined with stealth technology gives aircraft the features of hovering and reduced radar cross-section, i.e. low observability.
Smart meters present an exciting new opportunity for both Energy and Utility (E&U) companies and consumers. From the supplier-consumer relationship perspective, smart meters can redefine the supplier’s role to that of an energy advisor. From an industry viewpoint, it can integrate new technologies and innovations across the power grid. To the users’ advantage, it can drive down costs,
