For the last few decades the water contains lot of minerals content. After urban development the properties of the water have changed a lot. It contains some unwanted practical, which is very dangerous to the human body. So we started using RO (Reversed Osmosis) system to purify the water.
The invention (US 6851690, EP 1210236, PL 192322, HK 1049313) provides a purely mechanical, steel, progressive rate vehicle suspension system, with damping characteristic that can be adapted for any type of vehicle or working machine.
The present proposal addresses the following problems specific to developing/underdeveloped countries like India with a large population of illiterate/semi-literate geriatric patients.
The system envisions a patient friendly medicine packaging system,
Transportation barriers are often cited as barriers to healthcare access in defence. Transportation barrier leads to delayed care or missed medication at right time. It’s also time-consuming. Transportation management and maintenance consume a load of pounds. Such barriers in healthcare lead to the lack of appropriate medical treatment,
Enviromental and economical issues render the need for highly efficient universal source of mechanical power most urgent. The most efficient way to convert thermal energy to useful work is to fuel inside engine's cylinder, and highly efficient and clean thermodynamic processes for producing hot high pressure gases, like detonation,
We have proposed an innovative approach in robotic surgery based on magnetic actuation. In this approach, 
Passenger vehicles and different types of administering material companies produce pollution and contribute significant amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and other harmful chemical pollutions. On record since 2013 to this present time has tripled the effect of an under balanced eco system,
