After he/she reaches the destination place they will scan the QR code of that station. And according to the departure place and arrival place the fair will be deduced from thei...



A Flush toilet (also known as flushing toilet, flush lavatory or water closet) is a toilet that disposes of Human excreta by using water to flush it through a drainpipe to another location for disposal, thus maintaining a separation between humans and their excreta. We know that, there are two types of flushing systems. They are automatic flushing system by using sensor and the next is of manual type which can be operated by means of providing flushing tap or trigger. By considering senso...



With the potential for human error removed,self-driving two-wheelers will reduce instances of accidents caused by driver error,drunk driving or distracted drivers.Traffic and fuel efficiency will greatly improve and also the roads will be safer.There are several systems that work in conjunction with each other to control a driverless two-wheelers.RADAR sensors dotted around the two-wheelers monitor the positions of the vehicles nearby.LIDAR sensors help to detect the edges of the roads and id...



It is low cost and manullay operated dish washer. It does not require electricity and it is easy to use and it can be used by poor stall of tea and in villages.



This project presents a smart LPG device to measure the usage of LPG, automated booking system and prevent us from fire accident by fully automated system using IOT. This project proposes a system that will make entire LPG cylinder booking procedure automated without human intervention. This system continuously measures the weight of the cylinder and once it reaches minimum threshold it will automatically sends message to the authorized LPG Agent so that they can deliver the LPG cylinder in t...



In the present technology the demand for higher data rate or internet speed is prime concern. The technology multiple-input-multiple-output fulfills the above higher data rate requirement easily. The multiple antenna system can transmit the different information simultaneously; consequently speed is increases from Mpbs to Gbps. The use of multiple antenna system has great advantage but at the same time it suffered from mutual coupling as well as the higher radiation generated by the multiple ...



In most of the developing countries, millions of people have to walk for kilometers, dedicating a significant amount of time in their day, to fetch a few liters of water. Women spend 150 million work days per year, equivalent to a national loss of income of 10 billion Rupees (UNESCO Water Portal). Traditionally, women and children walk several kilometers carrying water containers on their head, waist or in their arms. This lack of accessibility to clean water has deprived them of other incom...



Tax is a mandatory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed upon an individual or a legal entity by a state in order to fund various public expenditures. There are mainly two type of tax structures, direct tax and indirect tax. Here we focus on the indirect tax structure. Indirect tax (e.g., Value added Tax (VAT) and Goods and Services Tax (GST)) is a tax collected by an intermediary (such as a retail store) from the person who bears the ultimate economic burden of the tax (such as...

The small scale cottage industries in India play a crucial role in rural economy. These bring down rate of unemployment and create income. It strengthens the rural sector and empower nation. Rural areas of India are known for cottage industries like cotton weaving, metal handicrafts, leather, carpet weaving etc. Among all one of the most important and oldest is brass metal handicraft. Some of the products are locally known as Kalash, Thali, Sarai, Ghagori etc. But currently this industry is f...



Pressure relief mattresses and other mattress systems are used to increase comfort and help alleviate pain. Pressure relief mattress and bed pad systems prevent pressure ulcers, commonly called bed sores or pressure sores, by alternating pressure to disperse it away from bone protrusions. Many systems use air chambers in their mattresses or pads. There are many different styles of relief mattresses and pads available, including bed overlays made of materials like foam and gel; more robust ma...



In telecommunication, white spaces are unused bands of frequency. Every channel is assigned rights to broadcast over certain frequency bands. Many TV channels do not broadcast the whole day and hence their bandwidth and time is available. The present innovation is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC based hardware transceiver, which uses such white spaces for satellite based communication during emergencies like natural disasters when the terrestrial communication may fail. This technol...



Attach a valve and a tap on the delivery pipe so that one can pump and store the water in the body and the outlet pipe. And after pumping enough water, one can go to the other side, unscrew the tap and drink water with as much flow as one can conveniently drink with the hands. With increasing water scarcity, saving every drop matters apart from increasing the convenience of using the tap.



Curcumin based an efficient thermosensitive in situ gelling mucoadhesive system for contraception. The in situ vaginal gel of curcumin was prepared using poloxamer gelling agent (temperature based mechanism) containing bioadhesive polymers for longer retention of dosage form. The optimized formulation maintained various physicochemical parameters within the prescribed limits. Ex- vivo study on human ejaculate showed significantly decreased sperm viability. The sperms were found to be nonviabl...



The system is a non-invasive and highly portable method of malignant (cancerous) tumour detection (differentiating it with benign tumours) without biopsy within a few seconds. Studies suggest that malignant tumour cells have less potassium ions and more sodium ions. Hence there is a difference in the conductivity/dielectric properties between cancerous and non-cancerous tumours. This device compares the conductivity and dielectric properties of the tumour with the normal cells and by analysin...
