E Anti Sleep Alarm
E Anti Sleep alarm is a electronic device that attaches to normal spectacles and gives an alarm when eyes close for more than 1 second. It works on the principle of reflective light from the Eye and Retina.It will not give false alarm when a person blinks his eyes.
Solar Powered Electric Recumbent Trike
Imagine a ride in which all you want to do is enjoy, relax, detached from all distractions and without any worries regarding refuelling stations, fuel costs and even contribute in protecting the environment. This dream has been made into reality by a group of engineering students from Don Bosco Institute Of Technology, Kurla, Mumbai.
Fasteners are inevitable part of mechanical joints. They play a productive part in holding components together and also in separating them. Our novel design of ER ( Electrorheological ) Bolts can be used as better fasteners in holding components present in space stations and satellites. In such complex environments where fastening and unfastening by conventional bolts are arduous,
PROPOSED CANCER CELL DATABASE (Subjected to the researchers input and modifications.)
1. Build a cancer Facebook type database of all information known about cancer cells.
2. Each country’s cancer research group is responsible for the accuracy and timeliness of their data.
3. The database will be open to all peoples on a read-only-basis.
The prewired chip carrier module package concept is for chip packaging without the need for a wire bonder. Instead you use a tweezers to insert the chip and then replace the cover under the chip from the bottom.
Problem design idea solves…
Existing distance measuring wheels are only available in a variety of fixed wheel sizes. Small wheel size devices are normally for indoor use, on somewhat smooth ground, or to measure relatively shorter distances. Medium and large wheel size devices are often used outdoors, over rough terrain, or for much longer distances.
During an emergency, when a pilot has to execute a belly landing or ditching (water landing), the fuselage of the plane comes in direct contact with the surface of the Tarmac or water body. Hence there will be large loads acting on the belly of the fuselage which damages the airplane,
The idea that is proposed here is an Organic Rankine cycle that is compact and small and works on phase change material instead of a pump. This novel replacement can make this energy producing device run on just heat (even solar energy) as input.
Multi-Purpose Bed.
The bedroom is a space which builds up a foundation for the future. That is its essential quality. It is a room, which takes the broadest demands as a starting point that is made on contemporary habitats hence necessary furniture are needed as they are of utmost importance.
