Problem of existing system: There is no detection mechanism of inefficient braking in the existing system. The vehicle moving with higher speed and having inefficient braking cannot be stopped within a considerable distance and time, which may eventually lead to road accident. According to research done by RASSI (JP Research India) ,
SpeedoMAX relates to a height adjustable speed bump that is designed specifically for controlling the speed of vehicles as well as an entry barrier when used for blocking restricted areas. It comprises a portable body which can be elevated depending upon the usage as a speed bump or a barrier and can be set up or removed easily.
Commercial air travel is thriving today, thanks to general aviation (GA). Most commercial pilots are trained in GA airplanes, and most innovations originate in GA's experimental aircraft, years ahead of certified aircraft.
The next major shift in aviation is electric flight.
My invention one important to my life my family and to all people believe the words of freedom, and Love and Peace. All of this the design the song all are coming to my real hearth.
The aim of this project is to support search and rescue missions with gesture controlled swarms of aerial and ground based robots. Search and rescue operations in scenarios such as earthquakes, gas leaks and fire outbreaks today face some major challenges,
Replacement hip joints typically use a dense plastic insert as a lubricant to avoid
metal-to-metal wear and associated particulate contamination in the bloodstream,
which can cause severe toxic reactions in some users. In this system, a resonant
module containing a quartz or ceramic resonator is installed across the joint ball and
socket components by electrically conductive leads.
With all the talk of peak oil, it is hard to believe that something as important as peak water may have already come and gone with no equivalent hue and cry. Eighteen countries; including the big-three grain producers China, India, and the U.S.; are now over-pumping their aquifers.
SPoSER (Solar Powered Surveillance and Exploration Robot) is a 6WD terrestrial robotic platform with real-world applications to either aerospace/military/defense or environmental sectors. Typical applications may be surveillance of a dangerous area by the police or army, or monitoring of hazardous environments (e.g. nuclear accident), continuously providing, next to the real-time video, loads of vital measurements (e.g.

SPEECH TO TEXT CONVERTER FOR PARTIALLY DEAF PEOPLE
Aspiration behind this innovative idea came from the problem that our young people are facing i.e. partially deafness. Our study leaded us to fact that there are so many people in Mumbai region facing partial deafness as those others all around the globe.
SNC ABSORBER
SNC Absorber is an abbreviation of Sulphur dioxide, Nitrous oxide and Carbon dioxide Absorber. The problem of pollution through automobiles being a major concern for today’s world has lead a dire need of solution to minimize air pollution as much as possible. The major contents of outlet of an engine exhaust of gasoline engine are Carbon Dioxide (CO2),
