Disposable Dental Handpiece
Conventional
high speed dental handpieces are difficult to clean. In the process of drilling noise or vibration is produced. Another problem is bacteria enters the head of the handpiece so diseases (like viral hepatitis or AIDS) may be transmitted to other dental patients. The above described
problems are solved and a technical advance is achieved by the present
disposable dental hand piece. A disposable dental handpiece, including a first handle portion; a second handle portion; a vibration dampening portion, the vibration dampening portion
located interposed between the first handle portion and the second handle ...
Rowheel Wheelchair Propulsion System
There are approximately 1.8 million manual wheelchair users in the United States and the population is expected to grow at a rate of 10% annually. Seventy five percent of wheelchair users rely on manual wheelchairs. Prolonged manual wheelchair use is directly linked to repetitive stress injuries and pain in the upper extremity. The effects of muscle overuse becoming evident in the forms of muscle pain, torn rotor cuffs, joint degeneration, and carpal tunnel syndrome. There is a need to minimize these types of injuries while retaining the benefits of the exercise that these devices provide. Studies have found continued ...

A Low Cost Solar Vaccine Refrigerator
The Problem:
About 2 million people around the world die each year of diseases preventable by widely used vaccines. In Africa and parts of Asia over half of all vaccines that require refrigeration spoil before they can be administered. Millions of lives and billions of dollars are lost due to a lack of refrigeration.
Solution:
For vaccines to be safely administered in rural parts of Africa and Asia one needs a novel inexpensive, easy to maintain refrigerator that provides World Health Organization and UNICEF compliant “chain-of-cold” storage of vaccines. It should run on free non-polluting solar energy and it should be built ...
IDEA™ Enhanced Pulse Oximetry
The left-ventricular stroke volume (or stroke volume, for short) is how much volume of blood the heart pumps with each heart beat. Stroke volume is important because it is a direct indicator of heart efficiency and health. Today, stroke volume can only be measured invasively using a Swan-Ganz catheter or via ultrasound echocardiography. Catheter is insertion risky and limited to special surgeries. Echocardiography is noninvasive but cumbersome, highly subjective and therefore unreliable. As a result, a noninvasive, convenient and reliable measurement of stroke volume is considered to be the “Holy Grail” of hemodynamic assessment. We have attained this goal ...
Mind Mouse Tablet PC for ALS Patient
Our client is an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patient. Our client was diagnosed with this disease five years ago. It began from the fourth finger of her left hand and eventually started spreading to other parts. The muscle movement of such patients deteriorates continuously affecting the entire body. Hence, gradually the patient loses the ability to talk and move. The last preserved movement in these cases is the eyebrow movement. The idea is to design a medical product that can assist such patients to communicate with the outer word to meet their daily needs. Mind mouse is designed to ...
Assisted Wheelchair for Physically Challenged
Assisted Wheelchair for Physically Challenged is designed in Orange Research Labs, Hyderabad. The main motto of this project is to assist the physically challenged people. Here, we designed a wheelchair which can be controlled through the following means:
1) Tilt Sensor
2) GSM Modem
3) Voice Module
The total project was divided into three parts. One is the mechanical structure of the wheelchair, the second one is the electronic structure and the last is programming structure. In the mechanical structure, we designed a simple mechanical chair where it can move through two wheels and a small open wheel ...
Smart e-Stick
Smart e-stick is an electronic interface which has been designed for the visually impaired people to make them walk more efficiently by providing the indication and voice message about the presence of any obstacles on their way.

Contactless Sleep Disorder Monitor
Sleep disorders affect about 40 million Americans every year. This problem results in more than 38,000 deaths and costs to billion annually to the health care system. To address this problem, a Contactless Sleep Disorder Monitor (COSDIM) based on Doppler radar and electro-acoustic sensor technology is proposed. The COSDIM consists of a noncontact microwave Doppler sensor (MDS), an electro-acoustic sensor, compact electronics, and data processing algorithm to determine sleep apnea. The COSDIM can realize noncontact detection of heartbeat rate, respiration rate, body movement, and respiratory airflow of a subject. The data can be continuously stored in a removable secure ...
An Intelligent Stick for the Visually Challenged

Autonomous Guiding System (for the blind)
It’s a staggering fact that there are nearly 37 million visually impaired (blind) people across the world. India ranks first in the blind population with more than 15 million people in the country alone.
Currently most blind people rely on other individuals, dogs, and their canes to find their way in buildings. This can be a hassle for both the visually impaired person as well as others.
Since ages, technology has been wisely used to empower lives of thousands. One such novel attempt is “The Autonomous Guiding System” which aims to cater to the navigation needs of the ...
Muscle controlled 3D mouse for amputees
Introduction:
There are over 140,000 people living with upper limb loss in the United States today and 1 in 12 new amputations are of the upper limb. In a study examining the employment history of 1630 upper extremity amputees,it was found that the unemployment rate went up from 1% to 19% after amputation. Unemployment only adds to the already existing anxiety and depression introduced due to physical and emotional pain of limb loss.
Motivation:
These days, computers have become ubiquitous and many median salary professions require the ability to easily interact with a computer. Unfortunately, computer interaction typically involves ...
Advanced Endodontic File
More than 24 million Americans endure the pain of a Root Canal every year. A Root Canal, or Endodontic Therapy, requires a hole to be drilled in the infected tooth to facilitate the removal of infection. To remove infection deep within the canals of the tooth, Dental Professionals employ an Endodontic File.
Careful attention must be paid during the operation of this device to prevent perforation of the canal which can damage nerves contained in the gums and lead to chronic pain for the patient. Endodontic Files rely on a rubber marker to maintain a proper working length to ...
