The poor performance of today's thermic engines is due to the temperature inhomogeneity of the hot air. With today fuel injection, it’s difficult to obtain a uniform and stoichiometric air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, in the extremely short deadlines (the order of ms),
Measuring the volume of urine (or liquids) and monitoring it at bedside or central station of units at hospitals
are very important.
In my design, by a simple and cheap way we can monitor the volume of urine and liquids.This design is independent of cylindrical container for each patient.
Known Problem:
Clean water is becoming a scarcer commodity, even near large bodies of water. Desalinization processes are expense to implement and very expensive to maintain. Scaling current designs is difficult.
Solution:
Using hydrogen fuel cell technology, we can develop and implement a very efficient design providing ease of deployment, ease of maintenance, and great scalability.
EEG (Electroencephalography) is a measurement of electrical activity of the brain from different positions on the scalp. Main objective of this project is to design an EEG instrumentation system with low cost. This instrumentation part of EEG system mainly carries of three major blocks Instrumentation amplifier, High pass filter and Low pass filter.
The development of a Skin Assessment and Decubitus Ulcer Prevention System is CP Electronics proposal to develop a Hospital/Nursing home bed monitoring pad which measures pressure, shear, temperature and moisture in two discrete sensing layers. Decubitus Ulcers (more commonly known as bed sores) are graded by their severity (1, 2, 3 and 4).
The use of alternate forms of energy are essential in the upcoming days as conventional sources cannot be preferred in future due to the uprise in Global warming. Solar energy is the energy obtained from the radiation emitted by the sun, this form of energy is free of cost,inexhaustible and reliable, it is used for water heating,

Relative motion between a metal conductor and magnetic field generates voltage. This is a well known fact. Also,a magnet moving in relative motion with a coil can induce a current in the coil.
Harnessing this voltage/current to recharge the battery or to power the electrical accessories or in case of a hybrid/electric vehicle can boost the distance traveled.
The P.C.D. - Prominence Commuting Device, proposes a sustainable and attractive battery-powered single-seater electric vehicle.
We have been demonstrating our concept using bicycle components that anyone can buy on general market. This concept can rebuild the way of mobility as people's daily transportation. In addition, new culture of DIY - with intellectual excitement,
