The kiln operates by dual fuels, such as low grade coal or wood. It reduces 60% fuel consumption & sintering period, 70% pollution & labour over the traditional pottery kilns. Breakage of the potteries during sintering is almost nil. It is a down-draft tunnel kiln inbuilt with a short height chimney. Uniform temperature is easily obtained in few hours during its operation, for which breakage of potteries is negligible and quality of terracotta is superior. Complete combustion of fuels with lo...



Domestic stove cum charcoal making unit can be used for domestic cooking or heating and at the same time produce valued based charcoal. Unlike the conventional chullahs, the unit uses biomass materials widely available in the north eastern region such as Ipomeae carnea, Mallotus albus, Tamarix dioica, Heteropanax fragrans, Oroxylum indicum, etc. for charcoal making which are otherwise considered as waste with no timber value. The fuel characteristics of the produced charcoal are found to be s...



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...
