I would like to design an artificial design based wood cutting machine for kitchen accessories, factories and other work, so, best and accurate use of wood, machine is capable of wood carving art,
This proposal present a Smart Training Glove that uses sensors, such as, flex sensors and pressure sensitive rubber fabric to detect hand movements and exercise load to support physical training of recovering people or regular people that require some kind of training record.

Presently nuclear energy is used as a one of the potential sources of energy. But the main problem is the adverse effect of nuclear energy on the human body and environment. Several
The cooling system of automobiles always have corrosion as the biggest threat to its reliability. To overcome this fatal phenomenon we have done synthesis of boron nitride in nanoscale. The synthesis of Hexagonal boron nitride is carried out with urea and boric acid. The material obtained is charecterized by SEM and TEM,
Automatic pneumatic bumper is used to prevent the driver and vehicle from collisions. This design converts the impact load into a gradual load. Design has a UV sensor which senses the obstacles and UV receiver which sends the signal to the control unit which has a compressed air cylinder,
We augment typical, low-cost plastic traps for many insect pests with the necessary optoelectronic sensors to sense the entrance of the trap to detect, time-stamp, GPS tag, and –in relevant cases- identify the species of the incoming insect from their wingbeat. For every important crop pest,
Petrol usage can be minimized by operating the flywheel upto certain speed by DC series motor and latter by petrol. It provides speed and have lower fuel consumption.
Petrol can be available only for 64 years. The alternate source for petrol is Liquified Petroleum Gas.
So many military personnel are injured or killed each year because of IED's triggered by cellular phones. We need to construct a device which will randomly and continuously send signals in battled areas which will trigger any cellular phone to ring,
The Automated Guided Wheelchair I have proposed allows any wheelchair user to be guided to a desired location on his own, as long as the building itself is adopted to the novel system. Unlike the state of the art,
