The ANTARES design might currently be considered avant-garde for a construction vehicle, however within the next 10-15 years, proposals such as these may be thought conventional.
The cab has a large panoramic glass area – to aid operator visibility.
(air conditioning is increasingly commonplace for these machines, as they typically work in dusty quarry environments. Solar gain could be managed effectively through the use of photovoltaic glazing)
Beneath the glass, a heavyweight ROPS structure ensures operator protection. The effect of this soft, inviting cab solution is a counterpoint to the hard industrial lines of the heavyweight ANTARES chassis and bodywork – and hopefully provides an appealing operator environment.

The WHY yacht is a concept yacht dedicatedly focused on bringing luxury living lifestyle on the sea through offering maximum durability, space and cutting-edge technologies at every single turn. The yacht is contained in a triangle shaped hull measuring 58 x 38 meter and the interior is furnished with water resistant buffalo leather with calpinage technique. Aside from the 25 meter long seawater pool on the bow, the boat creates a completely flat water surface behind it, similar to an Olympic-size pool where boarders can swim in peace. The boat is powered by a diesel electric engine and a central computer manages the different sources of energy. Moreover, about 900 square meters of photovoltaic surface panel generates a part of the energy that is required to subsist the boat.

People, who are disabled from vision, need an aid to foresee the roads and anything else that is lying in front. The AngelWing is one system that is designed specially for the blinds so that they can sense whatever is occurring within a particular range. The system consists of a set of Bluetooth device which includes a transmitter, earphone and sensor. The entire system is compact and hence extremely useful. The sensor looks like a white and red regular stick but it is much more efficient than the regular ones. The Bluetooth device is a tiny tool to be attached to the ears.
