To improve the existing mechanism for opening the car-door of a mobile shop vehicle, we first apply the contradiction matrix and the idealized design technique of the Theory of the Solution of Inventive Problems (TRIZ) as a reference to ameliorate an automatic car-door opening (closing) system, and find a scheme matching requirements in design. Next, a motor gear transmission system is designed...

Carvacrol (CAR), a naturally occurring phenolic monoterpene, has been shown to possess diverse biological activities. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the cardioprotective potential of CAR against myocardial ischemic damage in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. CAR significantly diminished the infarct size and myocardial enzymes including creatine kinase (CK), the MB isoenz...

Pre-tax car prices are particularly low in EU countries with high registration taxes but no car production, meaning that the tax is equivalent to an import tariff and induces international price discrimination. The paper develops a theorectical model to analyse the European Commission's policy of facilitating arbitrage and thereby reducing car price differences. The effects on prices, quantitie...

This paper uses simple game theory to analyze a situation where two agents compete in the transport market. The modeling frame is that of a mode choice model, where the two mode options are boat or car transportation. The basic findings are that non pareto optimal (car, car) equilibrium outcomes, may occur in a surprisingly large amount of cases. Additionally, the possible different Nash equili...

This paper aims to evaluate the voltage and electrical power harvested from car suspension system under bump excitation using a piezoelectric stack. For this purpose, quarter equipped with stack installed parallel suspension's damper is modelled investigated in temporal domain MATLAB/Simulink. The studied excited, considering different amplitudes at speeds. effect of damping coefficient on also...

In most models of traffic flow, the car density p is the only free parameter in determining the average car velocity 〈v〉. The critical car density pc, which is defined to be the car density separating the jamming phase (with 〈v〉 = 0) and the moving phase (with 〈v〉 > 0), is an important physical quantity to investigate. By means of simple statistical argument, we show that pc < 1 for the Biham-M...

Every mile traveled by a car transfers risk to its insurer. This paper posits that the product of a cents-per-mile rate based on class experience and the miles recorded on the car’s odometer appropriately earns prepaid premium while the car is driven. Operation of a practical car-mile system is described briefly. To test the competing idea that driver-record pricing responds to known large diff...
