GE’s New Bridge Suite

GE’s modular ship control system is designed to fit both large and lightweight vessels, providing intuitive control and clear visual feedback. New positioning technology, engine control systems and monitoring devices enable ships to be maneuvered accurately in confined spaces whilst reducing stress on the operator as complex manual controls are replaced with new touch screen technology. An adjustable screen reduces reflections and optimizes ergonomics. All consoles have integrated grab handles for use in rough seas.

Rotation Saw

A Power Chain Saw with a Revolving Handle. This chain has a handle that revolves 360° and stops at predefined angles. In general, people cut trees horizontally or vertically by turning their saws at certain angles or leaning or tilting their body parts. Unfortunately, the saw often slips from the user’s grasp or the user has to work in an awkward position, which may cause injuries. To make up for such drawbacks, the proposed saw is fitted with a revolving handle so that the user can adjust the cutting angles.

ROC

The revolutionary ROC pump exploits the mechanical advantages of an innovative and recently granted patented mechanical device that converts a single rotary action into multiple linear movements. Innovative features of the ROC pump include an ultra compact rotary design that produces an impressive volume of pumped air, giving far quicker inflation times and better ergonomics than conventional hand pumps, making tyre inflation easier and vastly reduced likelihood of breaking valve stems.

Tensegrity

Tensegrity sensor for disaster sites, which could be dropped from the sky (drone) to collect data for emergency response crews to examine crucial data such as gas leakage, images, and audios from survivors. Due to the risk, this deployable sensor is especially beneficial when it comes to unapproachable sites by humans. Multiple tensegrity modules stored in a basket under the drone with an automated deployment system are deployed on multiple sites nearby to the region of interest once the drone arrives at the location.

Sim One

Tens of thousands of people may perish as a result of tsunamis. Because of the way that tsunamis work, humans lack the tools necessary to detect them directly. The current tsunami warning is based on erroneous and delayed modelling results of seismic data. This system is intended to directly identify tsunamis with high warning accuracy while continuously monitoring the internal dynamics of the ocean. The offshore work vessel anchors the equipment in the open ocean and fastens it with special ropes.
