IPEC (Indian Pro-kart Endurance Championship) – 20<strong>18</strong> - “Unchain the<br />

barrier and conquer the World”<br />

There is an excitement to explore new things by challenging yourself to discover your potential.<br />

The story of the winning team of BVRITH who participated in IPEC (Indian Pro-kart Endurance<br />

Championship) was something like that.<br />

We all love riding go-karts, but never thought to ride a self made go-kart .It only became possible with the<br />

strong determination of a group of 25 girls and with the constant effort of a group of mechanical faculty.<br />

IPEC (Indian Pro-kart Endurance Championship) ,a national Level Go-kart Championship was organized<br />

by BVRITN from 13 th to 16 th March’20<strong>18</strong> to encourage the people with passion to design, build and raceoff<br />

go-kart vehicles.<br />

The journey was started with the rigorous training by the senior students of BVRITN.25 members were<br />

divided into groups of 5 members in each group. The groups were allotted with different modules of design,<br />

transmission, steering and braking under the leadership of a captain.<br />

They built a prototype before starting the real manufacturing process. Once they had that idea, they started<br />

assembling each part to make a real vehicle. Within two weeks, the kart was ready to ride!!<br />

Finally the day arrived to exhibit their effort. The team from BVRITH was one of the four women-only<br />

teams participated in this competition. There were three rounds: Virtual round, Dynamic round and<br />

Endurance round.<br />

Virtual round: This was the first round where around 31 teams across the country participated and at the<br />

end of this round 23 teams were selected for the second round.<br />

Dynamic round: This round was all about technical inspection of brake, weight, acceleration etc. At the<br />

end of this round 22 teams were qualified for the final round and the team from BVRITH was the only team<br />

out of four women-only teams which qualified for the final round.<br />

Endurance round: This was the last round. In this round the participants had to make some laps within a<br />

stipulated time. Here the test was to check participant’s skill, patience, time management and sportsman<br />

spirit.<br />

At the end of the event we received a special prize which was really unbelievable. Finally,We made it. So,<br />

be passionate with your dream. You can do anything , everything.<br />

Out Reachy<br />

-Reach out World Wide<br />

M<br />

ost of the Engineering aspiring students aim to get seat in a good college and end up with higher<br />

packaged job. But here the story of R.Pavani, final year IT student is bit different. This girl is<br />

never satisfied with her knowledge. She wants to learn more, she wants to know more. This zeal to learn<br />

helped her in fetching Internship in Outreachy. Outreachy is an intiative to provide internships across the<br />

world who is highly interested to work in Free or Open Source Software.<br />

How was she introduced to Outreachy?<br />

Pavani is an open source enthusiast, passionate and aspirant coder who loves exploring new technologies.<br />

So, first time when her brother introduced outreachy to her, she was very much excited and started<br />

preparation to be a part of that international platform. Finally, she applied for summer’20<strong>18</strong>.<br />

Most challenging part of the application process<br />

As a part of the eligibility criteria, Outreachy Program expects aspiring interns to contribute for a relevant<br />

open source project .The most challenging part is that the intern has to pick an organization and a project to<br />

work on. She was inexperienced and totally confused which one to pick. She randomly selected a project<br />

with her known technologies. She had clarity about the project and realized that she could do it. She<br />

contacted her mentors about her project and started contributing towards it very sincerely.<br />

Acceptance from Outreachy<br />

The organization she was working with is Ceph. After putting all the effort, at certain point of time she<br />

realized that if she doesn’t get accepted also, she will end up with a lot of learning. But finally her<br />

application was accepted .She was very excited and happy to see her name as one of the interns for<br />

Outreachy. Now the time to meet the people behind these projects.<br />

The journey with Ceph<br />

Ceph is an open source storage platform; it provides high performance, reliability, and scalability. It's a free<br />

distributed storage system that provides an interface for object, block, and file-level storage and can operate<br />

without a single point of failure. The mentor was very friendly, helpful and was guiding her not only to<br />

complete the project but also to forgo her wrong coding practices which helped her to become stronger<br />

technically.<br />

The Project<br />

The project was basically about creation of a CephFS Shell and CLI Tool. The Ceph file system (CephFS)<br />

provides for kernel driver and FUSE client access. In testing and trivial system administration, the FUSE<br />

interface is commonly used but can be cumbersome. The project aims to provide a shell and CLI tool<br />

interface to CephFS using the existing libcephfs client library and python bindings. The shell should allow<br />

“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking” - William B. Spragu<br />

- 5 -


for a series of commands (like mkdir) against the file system. It can also be extended in such a way that the<br />

project should adapt existing tests to use the new toolset. As a whole, the project was to create a user<br />

interface shell to access ceph file system. The Shell looks like this by the end of first two weeks<br />

The Learnings<br />

She was been coding in python for about 2 years. But During this journey, she had new experience with<br />

python modules while creating a shell. Not only technical knowledge, unknowingly she was getting<br />

transformed from a student to a professional who knows to balance personal and professional life.This<br />

international exposure helped her to become more confident and motivated to try the new things.<br />

So,for all the engineering aspiring students, don’t restrict your aim to get a highly paid job. Transform your<br />

aim into dream. A dream to learn new things, a dream to do the things out of box which excites you which<br />

discovers you.<br />

E-DRESSING<br />

Online shopping has certainly replaced the<br />

traditional way of shopping. When we choose<br />

online shopping, we get the benefit of credibility.<br />

Today, almost every online store offers cash on<br />

delivery, free shipping and discounted prices.<br />

They have also benefited those people who<br />

always complain of shortage of time. This is the<br />

reason, majority of the people have turned to<br />

online shopping. Here, they enjoy easy access to<br />

an attractive price range, prompt customer<br />

support, and free home delivery. There is no<br />

doubt that these are some of the attractive<br />

features that catches the attention of the<br />

consumers. The inability of users to foresee how<br />

particular wardrobe items will be apt for them<br />

when shopping online has always been a<br />

significant weakness. Our motive here is to<br />

increase the time efficiency and improve the<br />

accessibility of apparels try on by creating a<br />

virtual dressing room environment.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Real-time tracing of the user posture.<br />

Realistic virtual clothing.<br />

Clothing/Accessories alignment.<br />

Size estimation.<br />

The image of the user is captured by the camera<br />

and given as an input. By using the face detection<br />

and body detection techniques, the video is<br />

scanned for the presence of human faces. Body<br />

tracking and perimeter analysis are done and<br />

product images are then masked. Now the<br />

masked image is superimposed and the user can<br />

see the images of the dresses on self.<br />

This idea was presented in ―Women only<br />

Hackathon‖ organized by Flipkart and received<br />

1 st prize at BVRITH and also received 3 rd<br />

prize in National level by representing Telangana<br />

region.<br />

The solution aims to create an augmented reality<br />

dressing room. To implement E-Dressing, the<br />

major tasks involve –<br />

Sakhi #CravingToCradle<br />

In an article published by Times of India, it was<br />

stated that women shop 2.2 times more than men.<br />

With out them for the hackathon being e-<br />

commerce for women, the first thing we did was<br />

to go through the flipkart's website and look for<br />

issues that we could solve problems that<br />

concerned women. We observed that though<br />

flipkart had a women's section, they didn't cater<br />

the needs of an expecting mother and that's how<br />

our journey of the hackathon started!<br />

Our proposal was targeted to all those women in<br />

their maternity stages who hardly find any time to<br />

shop offline. Moreover, when a new generation is<br />

being nurtured during nine months of pregnancy,<br />

more prenatal care is required. We wanted to use<br />

Flipkart as a platform to cater their every small<br />

and big needs all throughout their journey.We<br />

created an add-on "Sakhi" to the flipkart's<br />

website.<br />

Sakhi is an online recommendation system that<br />

that creates a personalised store for expecting<br />

mothers by suggesting products across a wide<br />

range of categories like apparels, books, music,<br />

nutrition and cosmetics which can be tailored and<br />

offered at their doorstep. During the user's first<br />

login, Sakhi takes all the information like the<br />

height, waist size, bust size and the month of<br />

pregnancy to keep a track of the user and<br />

customizes her store. This also helps<br />

recommending products at later point of time.<br />

We built a machine learning model for the<br />

recommendation system using collaborative<br />

filtering. For the product data, we scraped various<br />

websites like firstcry and myntra and the entire<br />

website was built and integrated using python<br />

flask framework.<br />

The entire hackathon journey was a great joyful<br />

and learning experience. We were exposed to<br />

many new things as we were building everything<br />

from the scratch. The real joy was then, when our<br />

idea bagged 2 nd prize at the end of the Hackathon.<br />

OMNI-FILTER<br />

When you are shopping for a particular person<br />

and specially, when you are switching to a<br />

different category, the task of re-applying filters<br />

is quite a tedious task.To exemplify the current<br />

scenario, consider a customer who is shopping<br />

for herself. The customer first searches for skirts<br />

by setting a filter for her size. She might then<br />

look of pants in her size by re-applying the filter<br />

to her size. She might look for shoes to go with<br />

the outfit by again filtering her shoe size. Isn’t<br />

there a way to do all of the filtering at once?<br />

So, our idea Omni-Filter helps the<br />

customers to save their sizes along with the ones<br />

they wish to shop for (eg. family). Later<br />

whenever they wish to shop, they will only have<br />

to select the person to shop for which will<br />

automatically apply the filters on every category<br />

they choose henceforth (foot size, top size,<br />

bottom size).<br />

This will also make shopping for others easier.<br />

Absolutely hassle free.<br />

Through this idea our main aim was to increase<br />

the customer satisfaction by automating filtering<br />

process to cater particular individual sizes<br />

thereby reducing search downtime.<br />

Overall, the journey was super exciting and<br />

stressful, as we had to understand the problem<br />

very clearly and the complete prototype had to be<br />

built within very small span of time.<br />

The Hackathon was not like any conventional<br />

Hackathon, here the feeling was like doing real<br />

contribution to the society.<br />

Finally,our idea received 3 rd Prize among all the<br />

groups.<br />

We used HTML, Bootstrap, JavaScript to<br />

implement this idea and MySQL for Database<br />

connection.<br />

The main challenging part of the implementation<br />

was Optimization i.e. accessing the size-charts of<br />

all the brands and comparing the body<br />

measurements saved by the users optimally.<br />

ICan<br />

It is well known that India is the second most<br />

populous country in the world with the<br />

population of over 132 crores and over 20 lakh of<br />

them are living with speech disability in one form<br />

or the other. In an ideal world, every person<br />

would know Sign Language but in this one, it is<br />

next to impossible. Most Sign speakers depend<br />

on pen and paper or phone keypad to<br />

communicate with Non-Sign speakers. But, it is<br />

such a tedious job to write or type out the most<br />

frequent messages.<br />

The team of ―Eleventh Hour Creations‖ has<br />

developed a solution to simplify this mundane<br />

task. From instant text to speech to saving<br />

common phrases, the app ―I Can‖ is built to make<br />

daily communication with Non-Sign speakers<br />

swift and facile. The highlight of the app has to<br />

be the ―Gesture‖ feature that allows users to save<br />

text along with a touch gesture shortcut which<br />

convert text-to-speech in a jiffy.<br />

The journey of building this app was really<br />

memorable. It was started with idea selection and<br />

then gradually adding the features to it made the<br />

journey with ups and downs. Finally, our app was<br />

selected among best 3 apps that got opportunity<br />

for showcasing in front of Microsoft Leadership<br />

Team. The real success was then, when it reached<br />

544 installs and was downloaded by people of 7<br />

countries other than India.<br />

The free app is available on Google Play as a<br />

tool. To download or to know more about the app<br />

Time Saver Trolly<br />

Innovation no more happens on demand.<br />

Innovation has become the integral part of<br />

business, product, process, service and lifestyle.<br />

It is believed that innovation is the change that<br />

unlocks new value. Innovation can only be<br />

nourished by creating environments for ideas to<br />

be developed.<br />

The idea ―Time Saver Trolley‖ is an initiative to<br />

help the customers who spend lot of time in long<br />

queues near billing section of a retail store.<br />

Through this implementation we can help the<br />

customers to avoid unnecessary time waste by<br />

allowing them to add the items to the trolly,<br />

where all the item information is available with<br />

their particular price. Then the customer can pay<br />

the bill for the same.<br />

The idea was kind of self-service for the<br />

customers who want to save their time by adding<br />

their items to the trolly and can generate the bill<br />

for the same.<br />

This idea was presented on the platform<br />

of ―Student Innovator Award 20<strong>18</strong>‖ organized by<br />

ICT Academy in collaboration with State<br />

Government and Industry to foster innovation<br />

midst the younger generation.<br />

The experience was really unique where<br />

all the projects were invited from the branches of<br />

Computer Science &Information Technology,<br />

Civil & Architecture, Mechanical & Automobile<br />

and Electrical & Electronics. UG and PG<br />

Engineering students from various branches<br />

across Telangana participated in the event. An<br />

eminent jury of Industry experts judged the<br />

projects based on the below mentioned criteria:<br />

‣ Quality of innovation<br />

‣ Financial feasibility<br />

‣ Potential and/or actual market impact<br />

Selection Process was done in two levels:<br />

LEVEL 1: Initial scrutiny based on the project<br />

abstract<br />

LEVEL2: The Top 5 Shortlisted Projects from<br />

each stream presented their idea.<br />

After putting lot much effort finally we received<br />

the first Prize for ―ICT Academy Student<br />

Innovator Award 20<strong>18</strong>‖, and our team also<br />

received a cash prize of Rs15000/-.<br />

Remote Intervention and Control<br />

of Laser Based Procedures<br />

Our project ―Remote Intervention and Control of<br />

Laser Based Procedures‖ is aimed to decrease the<br />

prevalence of eye diseases in rural areas by<br />

enhancing PRP procedure in Tele-Opthamology<br />

with remote control procedure.<br />

The main idea was born with intention of helping<br />

those people who really needs such help but not<br />

having enough opportunity or exposure to it.<br />

―Engineering the Eye‖ is an initiative to<br />

bring all members of the healthcare community<br />

together under one roof, providing a unique<br />

opportunity for innovators to contribute towards<br />

healthcare.<br />

Basically the method used here is Pan Retinal<br />

Photocoagulation which stops vessels on the<br />

retina from leaking. During this procedure, a<br />

special laser is used to make tiny burns that seals<br />

the retina and stops blood vessels from growing<br />

and leaking. Cameras are setup in front of the<br />

patient to know the condition of the eye and a<br />

live video of different scenes are telecasted to<br />

doctor through OBS Software. According to<br />

condition of the patient, doctor will spot the<br />

places which are to be treated with laser. A G-<br />

code will be automatically generated and this<br />

code will run the system to move the laser in X,Y<br />

& Z directions. A Laser is fixed on the camera<br />

and an Aurdino ATmega microcontroller is used<br />

to move the camera in different directions. The<br />

whole information from the patient is stored in a<br />

packet and it is delivered to the doctor only if<br />

complete information is retrieved from the<br />

system so that even if there is an internet<br />

problem, doctor can continue the treatment as he<br />

gets complete information at once.<br />

Doctor will be keeping a reference point so that if<br />

the patient moves away or towards the reference<br />

point the equipment before the system is<br />

automatically stopped. In this way doctor can<br />

remotely control the laser operation of a patient<br />

from anywhere in the world.<br />

Text to Braille Converter<br />

The idea of the project was to develop a new<br />

methodology using a Braille system which helps<br />

blind people to read text messages.<br />

We were highly motivated to take<br />

up this idea as we wanted to contribute towards<br />

the people who are special in the society .The<br />

people who cannot see the beauty of world but<br />

they have potential to do wonders with a small<br />

help.<br />

To implement this, we are used Bluetooth modem<br />

to receive messages and the message could be<br />

read by blind people easily just by feeling the<br />

vibration of vibrators.<br />

We presented this paper in International<br />

Conference on Innovative Technologies in<br />

Computer Science and Engineering (ICITCSE-<br />

20<strong>18</strong>) at St. Peter’s Engineering College and<br />

received ―Best Paper Award‖<br />

Artificial Embryos<br />

Why It Matters Artificial embryos will make it<br />

easier for researchers to study the mysterious<br />

beginnings of a human life, but they’re stoking<br />

new bioethical debates.<br />

Key Players: University of Cambridge;<br />

University of Michigan; Rockefeller University.<br />

Artificial embryos, however, pose ethical<br />

questions. What if they turn out to be<br />

indistinguishable from real embryos? How long<br />

can they be grown in the lab before they feel<br />

pain? We need to address those questions before<br />

the science races ahead much further, bioethicists<br />

says.<br />

Reference: Breakthrough technologies of 20<strong>18</strong><br />

Availability:<br />

Now the researchers placed the cells carefully in<br />

a three-dimensional scaffold and watched,<br />

fascinated, as they started communicating and<br />

lining up into the distinctive bullet shape of a<br />

mouse embryo several days old. Stem cells are<br />

magical in their powerful potential of what they<br />

can do. We did not realize they could selforganize<br />

so beautifully or perfectly. Soon we<br />

could have mammals born without an egg at all.<br />

The next step, is to make an artificial embryo out<br />

of human stem cells, work that’s being pursued at<br />

the University of Michigan and Rockefeller<br />

University. Synthetic human embryos would be a<br />

boon to scientists, letting them tease apart events<br />

early in development. And since such embryos<br />

start with easily manipulated stem cells, labs will<br />

be able to employ a full range of tools, such as<br />

gene editing, to investigate them as they grow.<br />

designed to run on embedded devices, smart<br />

phones and PCs.<br />

So what exactly Google Fuchsia Os is for?<br />

Google is developing this new mobile Os to<br />

merge Android +Chrome<br />

Fuchsia is a mixed colour of Pink + Purple and it<br />

is named right after a flower called Fuchsia.<br />

“ To understand everything is to forgive everything.” - Buddha<br />

There have been speculations that Fuchsia OS<br />

will replace Android , whereas some reports hint<br />

that it will unite Android and Chrome OS. But, at<br />

the moment, it is unclear as to what Fuchsia OS is<br />

intended for.<br />

Where And How Is It Developed?<br />

Unlike Android, Fuchsia isn’t built on Linux, but<br />

rather on Google’s own Magenta kernel, and<br />

utilizes their in-house Flutter SDK as<br />

well.JavaScriptCore (or JSC) is a way that is<br />

typically used for sharing code between your web<br />

and native applications. Firstly,JSC is part of<br />

WebKit, which forms the basis of Apple’s Safari<br />

browser, and is distinctly an Apple product.Up to<br />

this point, the Fuchsia Team had been using their<br />

own internal port of JSC, with no intention of<br />

making it publicly available for developers.<br />

Secondly, Web Runner targeted at making the<br />

web integral to Fuchsia. Currently in Fuchsia all<br />

web-related tasks are handled byWebKits's.Web<br />

View but Chrome support is coming. Already,<br />

there’s a version of Web Runner in<br />

Chromium that confirms it will ―run web<br />

applications on Fuchsia.‖<br />

How Will Fuchsia Affect Developers?<br />

Fuchsia isn’t at a point where developers can<br />

practically create full applications yet. But when<br />

it gets there, Google doesn’t intend for the work<br />

it has put into Android to be totally abandoned.<br />

Fuchsia apps can be written in a variety of<br />

popular programming languages using the new<br />

Flutter software development kit.<br />

Flutter allows apps to be written with maximum<br />

compatibility between Fucshia, Android, and<br />

iOS. Not only does that mean that apps can be<br />

written on all three platforms with a minimum of<br />

investment, it makes porting existing apps to<br />

Fuchsia and supporting all three platforms easy.<br />

How Does Fuchsia Differ From Android?<br />

Google released a hand's on look for fuchsia os,<br />

rather than having app icons on the home screen<br />

there are cards for every thing and here comes<br />

The most interesting part of Fuchsia is its<br />

multitasking capabilities.Now a days in Android<br />

7.0 Nougat version is running on split screen<br />

facility for some supporting apps but Fuchsia<br />

takes it a step further with the ability to run more<br />

than two apps at a time just by dragging any<br />

number of apps from home screen cards.<br />

All-in-all, Google is definitely taking the web<br />

seriously, and this is an area that is seeing<br />

constant development in both the Fuchsia and<br />

Chromium repos. Needless to say I’ll be keeping<br />

an eye on it going forward.<br />

Digitizing Farm Records for Food<br />

Security<br />

FARMIS is an innovation which is basically<br />

implemented by SOKOPEPE for improving the<br />

lives of the small scale farmers in Kenya which<br />

gives power to engage with the financial<br />

institutions and provides them the technical<br />

information for them to increase the income and<br />

also it is used for their food options. The farmers<br />

in FARMIS were given up to USD162, 500<br />

which served 25,000 farmers<br />

Technologies used:-<br />

FARMIS are using both analogue and digital to<br />

manage the records that consists of<br />

PRODUCTION INFORMATION AGENTS.<br />

Through this PIA the farm book collects the<br />

information and data about the production and<br />

mobile phones are used to collect the data that<br />

contains the profiles which contains information<br />

online.<br />

FARMIS seeks to address a related challenge<br />

based on the lack of reliable data; to drive<br />

decision-making and inform households,<br />

governments and private institutions on the most<br />

appropriate interventions that would be necessary<br />

to improve crop production of the rural smallscale<br />

farmer as well as develop the most<br />

appropriate solutions to meet the peripheral<br />

challenges that hamper food production. So far<br />

7,235 farmers in Meru County are keeping<br />

records of their farm enterprises using the Farm<br />

Book. Some of them are already<br />

changing the type of enterprise in their farms<br />

through informed decision.<br />

AI – Generative Adversarial<br />

Networks<br />

Generative Adversarial Networks, GANs for<br />

short, is an approach to teach AIs complex tasks<br />

first occured to Ian Goodfellow, then PhD student<br />

at the University of Montreal, 2014. This<br />

adversarial training will change the way the AIs<br />

are taught to complete the tasks. GANs basically<br />

solve a problem by training two separate neural<br />

networks,with competitve goals, which are the<br />

simplified mathematical models of the human<br />

brain that underpin most modern machine<br />

learning. The two networks, a generative and a<br />

discriminator or adversarial network will compete<br />

with each other in the digital cat and mouse<br />

game. Both networks are trained on the same data<br />

set. The generator, is tasked with creating<br />

variations on images it’s already seen. The<br />

discriminator, is asked to identify whether the<br />

example it sees is like the images it has been<br />

trained on or a fake produced by the generator.<br />

For example, when both networks are trained on<br />

the same data set of pedestrians, generator creates<br />

a variation, perhaps a picture of a pedestrian with<br />

an extra arm and the discriminator will decide<br />

whether that three-armed person is likely to be<br />

real. The concept is to train these networks<br />

competitively, so that after some time, neither<br />

network can make further progress against the<br />

other. Or the generator becomes so effective that<br />

the adversarial network cannot distinguish<br />

between real and synthetic solutions, even with<br />

unlimited time and substantial resources.<br />

The results aren’t always perfect but because the<br />

outputs are often startlingly realistic, some<br />

believe, the GANs are beginning to understand<br />

the underlying structure of the world. And that<br />

means AI may gain a sense of imagination, and<br />

independently make sense of what it sees in the<br />

world.<br />

World's first sleep robot to<br />

improve your sleep<br />

Have you ever suffered from sleep deprivation<br />

alsoknown as insomnia ? Tossing and turning<br />

around in your bed unable to will yourself to<br />

sleep can ruin your whole next day. Fortunately,<br />

you can reach out to the world's first Somnox<br />

sleep improvement robot. Somnox sleep robot is<br />

a non-invasive ultimate sleep companion that<br />

improves sleep by soothing your body and<br />

mind,reducing stress and anxiety so you<br />

can fall asleep faster, sleep longer and wake up<br />

feeling refreshed. It does so by providing a range<br />

of effective and proven features: breathing<br />

regulation, sounds and movements.<br />

First, it imitates breathing by raising and<br />

lowering its surface. By matching your own<br />

breathing you will be able to calm down your<br />

mind and body. Through effective cognitive and<br />

breathing techniques, it does not only accelerate<br />

your process of falling asleep but also helps you<br />

to reach deeper levels of relaxation.<br />

Second, the robot can play a variety of audio<br />

cues. You can choose from an already existing<br />

library of sounds that includes sounds of a heart<br />

beat , lullabies, meditation, audio tracks and<br />

many more.You can even upload tracks of your<br />

own. The best part is that robot will lower the<br />

volume of sound in response to you falling<br />

asleep.<br />

Hands Free Hectare Robotic<br />

Farming<br />

In the village of Edgmond in the U.K., the barley<br />

have been harvested from the world’s first<br />

robotically tended farm. Everything from start to<br />

finish including sowing, fertilizing, collecting<br />

samples and harvesting. Experimental farm run<br />

by researchers from Harper Adams University,<br />

United Kingdom.<br />

The team behind the project thinks that robotic<br />

technology could improve yields in agriculture,<br />

which is necessary if the world's growing<br />

population is to be fed in coming years. The<br />

researchers tackled this problem by using<br />

commercially available agriculture machines and<br />

open-source software that is used to guide<br />

hobbyists’ drones.<br />

The researchers tried with drone autopilots that<br />

are relatively cheap. They purchased several<br />

small-size agricultural machines, including a<br />

tractor and a combine, a machine for harvesting<br />

grain crops. They then fitted the machines with<br />

actuators, electronics and robotic technology that<br />

would allow them to control the machines<br />

without the presence of a human operator.<br />

"The vehicles navigate entirely based on the GPS,<br />

and they are just essentially driving towards<br />

targets that we predetermined," The scientists<br />

said that the robotic technology could enable<br />

future farmers to more precisely distribute<br />

fertilizers and herbicides, but could also lead to<br />

improvements in soil quality. Currently, to<br />

achieve all the required tasks in a reasonable<br />

amount of time, farmers rely on very large and<br />

heavy machines. In the future, they could use<br />

flocks of smaller robotic tractors and harvesters,<br />

the researchers said.<br />

At the moment, the machines used in agriculture<br />

are large, they operate quickly, they cover large<br />

areas of ground quickly, but with it comes<br />

inaccuracy. Small machines working with smaller<br />

working widths would provide a means to bring<br />

the resolution down. Instead of a 100-foot<br />

sprayer, you would have a 20-foot sprayer, and<br />

that’s just the beginning of making things<br />

smaller.<br />

Now let’s know how it actually works: The device<br />

relies on a disposable cartridge,which is attached<br />

magnetically under the band.The patent-pending<br />

accessory converts perspired alcohol into identifiable<br />

level. When the level of alcohol in the blood reaches<br />

or exceeds the pre-selectedbloodcontent limit the<br />

wrist band vibrates, lights up and warns the person to<br />

stop drinking alcohol further by sending notifications<br />

to the smart phone.<br />

The best thing of the device is it works for 12 plus<br />

hours and the person can know his/her friend's alcohol<br />

content in the blood.<br />

FEG Technology<br />

Do you have any idea about the energy<br />

available in higher altitude winds?<br />

Many have been proposed for capturing the<br />

energy available in high altitude winds. After<br />

much study on the various methods for capturing<br />

high altitude winds, finally settle down ―FLYING<br />

ELECTRIC GENERATOR or ROTOR CRAFT‖<br />

for addressing the world’s major energy. FEG<br />

technology is called as flying wind mills .It is a<br />

proposed renewable energy project over rural or<br />

low populated areas to produce around<br />

12,000MW of electricity with only 600 well<br />

clustered rot0craft kites that use only autogiro<br />

physics to generate far more kinetic energy than a<br />

nuclear plant can do.<br />

Disadvantages of fuel fossils:<br />

The overuse of fossil fuels and the over<br />

abundance of radioactive waste from nuclear<br />

energy, plants is taking a path of destruction.<br />

To avoid all these we can use:<br />

1) ―SKY WIND POWER‖, is more expensive<br />

and dangerous in the long run.<br />

2) FEG technology is just cheaper, cleaner and<br />

provide more energy than those environmentally<br />

unhealthy methods of the past, making it a<br />

desirable alternative.<br />

The secret of this functionality is ―TETHER<br />

TECHNOLOGY‖, that reaches 15,000 feet in the<br />

air, but creating restricted air space for planes and<br />

other aircrafts . This tether can hold flying wind<br />

mills in place; and with energy cable technology<br />

getting ever lighter and stronger.<br />

The tether being oriented at an angle to the local<br />

vertical between the object and a planet with<br />

magnetic field, when tether cuts the magnetic<br />

field of planet it generates a current and electrical<br />

energy.<br />

The places where FEG technology is used<br />

in industries for cutting and graving of metals.<br />

are involved in making and too many laser shots<br />

at high pressure yield in obtaining that smooth<br />

newspaper-kind circuits. This can help in<br />

reducing the overheating of gadgets.<br />

Flashtorch Mini<br />

A flashlight is usually a hand held light. It<br />

generally contains a LED. The FlashTorch Mini<br />

is something different from the regular torch.<br />

This torch light is so powerful, it can cook eggs.<br />

And START FIRES.<br />

The FlashTorch Mini is designed by Wicked<br />

Lasers. FlashTorch Mini does more than we ever<br />

think and that’s all fun of it. It is about 8 inches<br />

long and weighs about 387g but it packs fiery<br />

punch. 40% smaller than the FlashTorch, the<br />

“Some succeed because they are destined. Some succeed because they are determined”. -Unknown<br />

FlashTorch Mini is the world's smallest burning<br />

flashlight, produces 2,300 lumens of intense<br />

white light.<br />

Machined from military graded anodized<br />

aluminium, the FlashTorch Mini is tough enough<br />

to survive in the harshest of enviroments. The<br />

heat-resistant lens and reflector will channel<br />

intense light into wide floodlight or searchlight,<br />

and the halogen lamp’s maximum lifetime of<br />

1000 hours will ensure that this is a flashlight that<br />

you can always rely on. With the three selection<br />

modes, the brightness can be tailored according<br />

to our needs.. Every FlashTorch contains a<br />

battery and a charger. It’s battery lasts upto 30 –<br />

100 minutes. Needless to say, it has got so many<br />

advantages. It’s power-saving and diminishes air<br />

pollution. It’s also available in a wide range of<br />

LED colours. And the best part, does not produce<br />

UV rays. The advantages of an LED flashlight<br />

outweigh its disadvantages. To those who need a<br />

flashlight with longer lamp life, longer battery<br />

running time, and less power-consumption, LED<br />

flashlight is the best choice.<br />

Lumigrids-Grid Projection Bike<br />

light<br />

Lumigrid is a simple and useful concept that aims<br />

to improve the safety of riding at night.<br />

Lumigrids projects a flat laser grid out ahead of<br />

the rider, when a deformity in the road<br />

approaches, the grid changes shape mapping out<br />

the obstacle allowing to pick out potholes and<br />

other obstacles which cannot be seen during<br />

night. The device is powered by either the<br />

movement of the bike's wheels or by an internal<br />

battery. The projector has three different settings,<br />

offering a variety of grid sizes that are designed<br />

for use in different situations. The device's<br />

normal mode will display a 140 x <strong>18</strong>0-mm (5.5 x<br />

7.1-inch) grid, the high speed mode ups the area<br />

to 140 x 260 mm (5.5 x 10.2 inches) and the<br />

―team‖ mode widens the grid to 300 x 200 mm<br />

(11.8 x 7.9 inches). Like normal bike lights, the<br />

light itself will also alert pedestrians and vehicles<br />

to the rider's presence, further improving safety.<br />

Biogenic-The Powerful Solarcell<br />

A genetically engineered bacterium that uses dye<br />

to convert light to energy . This ultimately could<br />

help capture solar power at places which are<br />

mostly cloudy. Scientist in British Columbia have<br />

built a cheap, sustainable solar cell from<br />

E.coil,creating a solar cell. This is named<br />

as"biogenic".It was made from living organisms.<br />

This is not the first experimental biogenic solar<br />

cell. What made it different was the ability to<br />

have more powerful current, they said. Also it<br />

works in dim light as well as in bright light.<br />

Solar cells are the building blocks of solar panels.<br />

Any material that can excited or energized<br />

sufficiently by light to release electrons can be<br />

used in solar cells to generate electricity. In<br />

biogenic solar cells, the material "excited" by<br />

light is biological-in this case, the dye-compared<br />

to conventional, or inorganic, solar cells which<br />

use crystalline silicon to generate electrons. the<br />

anode of the solar cell, comprised of biogenic<br />

material made of lycopene-producing bacteria<br />

that are coated with nano particles.<br />

Their solution is in expensive and ultimately<br />

"could perform at comparable efficiencies as<br />

conventional photovoltaic. Even if these cells<br />

don't reach the same strength as conventional<br />

cells, the researchers believe they could play an<br />

important role in certain low-light setting such as<br />

mines or in deep sea exploration. Biogenic solar<br />

cells will be a useful complement to inorganic<br />

solar cell technology Even in its infancy, the<br />

technology has already throwing up some<br />

promising applications. Exploring low- light<br />

environments such as mines requires the use of<br />

sensors that could be powered with biogenic cells<br />

such as the one.<br />

These innovations using natural resource<br />

contribute a lot to the technological field as well<br />

as reduce the carbon usage.<br />

ARC ATTACK<br />

On hearing to the announcement made by the<br />

announcer’s amplified voice, the last few cheers<br />

from the crowd in the auditorium are cut off by a<br />

sizzling buzz. In the center of the stage, awash in<br />

blue and purple light, a man steps forward.<br />

Helmeted like a knight, with an electric guitar,<br />

the man started playing the first few crackling<br />

chords of his set. As he does so, forked tongues<br />

of lightning reach out from two towers flanking<br />

the stage and strike him. But he doesn’t even<br />

flinch.<br />

This typical performance for the Austin, Texasbased<br />

group called ARC ATTACK. The guitar<br />

player’s dancing fingers might control the music,<br />

but the notes themselves come from the bolts let<br />

loose by the twin towers.<br />

Joe DiPrima, one of the founding members of<br />

Arc Attack says that, ―The electrical arcs are<br />

vibrating the air and creating sound waves.‖<br />

by oscillating at their natural resonant frequency.<br />

More specifically, the circuits in the devices<br />

contain an inductor—an electrical component that<br />

resists changes in the electrical current—and a<br />

capacitor—an electrical component that stores<br />

energy. While that energy output is still far below<br />

100 million Volts contained in even the weakest<br />

bolts of lightning, it is enough to require expert<br />

operators. ―Just like pyrotechnics, the sparks are<br />

dangerous,‖ says DiPrima. ―The coils are just as<br />

safe as the people operating them.‖Because,<br />

safety is a priority for Arc Attack.<br />

So, here comes "MUSIC IS THE STRONGEST<br />

FORM OF MAGIC".<br />

To understand how Arc Attack's singing Tesla<br />

coils work, it’s best to start with the definition of<br />

a Tesla coil. DiPrima calls his group’s singing<br />

Tesla coils ―upgrades‖ of Tesla’s original design<br />

because they use solid-state transformers and<br />

other electrical parts that weren’t available in<br />

Tesla’s time. But much of the basic idea is still<br />

there. These devices essentially act like electrical<br />

tuning forks, meaning they store electrical energy<br />

FLYING SUIT<br />

Richard Browning has built and invented<br />

personal flying suit which allows anyone to just<br />

shoot up in the air and start flying - something<br />

like Iron Man’s suit .The 3D printed suit weighs<br />

27 kg and uses five kerosene-fuelled micro gas<br />

turbines, two attached to each arm and one at the<br />

Automatic Teller Machine.They were first<br />

introduced in 1939. It is an electronic<br />

telecommunications device that enables<br />

customers of financial institutions to perform<br />

financial transactions, such as cash withdrawals,<br />

deposits, transfer funds etc. ATM is used to draw<br />

money at any time and any place. According to<br />

the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA), three<br />

are now close to 3.5 million ATMs installed<br />

worldwide.What happens when you enter your<br />

pin backwards? If you should ever be forced by a<br />

robber to withdraw money from an ATM<br />

machine, you can notify the police by entering<br />

your PIN# in reverse. In 1994 Joseph Zinger, an<br />

American lawyer, offered to render a reversed<br />

PIN as an emergency call from the bank to the<br />

ATM to police. For example, if your pin number<br />

is 1234, then you would put in 4321. The ATM<br />

system recognize that your pin number is<br />

backwards from the ATM card you placed in the<br />

machine. The machine still give you the money<br />

you requested, but unknown to the robber, the<br />

police will be immediately dispatched to the<br />

location.<br />

Mars Bio Imaging<br />

Stunning new color X-ray images, from a<br />

company called Mars Bio imaging, in New<br />

Zealand, seem to make flesh and bone translucent<br />

and hyper real.The above shows one of the<br />

company's strange and fascinating images: a slice<br />

bloody-looking muscle tissue and a pad of<br />

fat smeared protectively under the heel with a<br />

whipped-cream textureIt's important to note that<br />

these aren't "true-color"<br />

X-ray scans as most people would commonly<br />

understand the term. As the inventors of the<br />

sensor that was used to make these images<br />

described in a 2015 paper in the journal IEEE<br />

Transactions on Medical Imaging and on the<br />

company's website, the colors in these images are<br />

applied based on the computer's detection of<br />

different wavelengths of X-rays passing through<br />

different substances. There are, however, no<br />

"true" red X-rays or "true" white X-rays; the<br />

device's programmers assign different colors to<br />

different detected body parts. (What human<br />

This Robot Just Wants To Hug A<br />

Jellyfish<br />

We all like to study ocean creatures. Humans,<br />

badly adapted to spending time underwater, need<br />

tools to do that. Unfortunately, most of the tools<br />

humans use are hard, while many ocean creatures<br />

are soft and delicate. A team from Harvard<br />

University's Wyss institute (which studies "bioinspired<br />

engineering) hopes to solve that problem<br />

with a new, soft, folding "Pokeball"-like device,<br />

described in a paper on <strong>july</strong><strong>18</strong>) in the journal<br />

Science Robotics. The device, the result of a<br />

collaboration between engineers, designers and<br />

Amazing Technology Used in Bill<br />

Gates’s house<br />

The house was designed by James Cutler<br />

Architects and Bohlin Cywinksi Jackson, in a<br />

Pacific Lodge style. Features:<br />

Much of the Bill Gates house is built<br />

underground into the hill, so the house looks<br />

smaller than it actually is. The house occupies<br />

50,000 square feet on 5.15 acre land.The 66,000-<br />

square-foot (6,100 m2) house features 7<br />

bedrooms, <strong>18</strong> baths, a 20 person home cinema<br />

and a 60-foot (<strong>18</strong> m) swimming pool with an<br />

underwater Sound System and a fossil motif<br />

floor. Swimmers can dive under a glass wall and<br />

emerge outdoors by a terrace.Garage space and<br />

outbuildings occupy an additional 16,000 square<br />

feet. The house’s garages can accommodate 23<br />

cars.<br />

The house features home automation with a<br />

central computer. Visitors to the residence are<br />

surveyed and given a microchip at entrance. This<br />

small chip sends signals throughout the house,<br />

and a given room’s temperature<br />

humidity, lighting and music when a guest enters<br />

a room will change according to preset users<br />

preference.With a net worth of US$ 90 billion he<br />

can easily. Some of the interior passage doors<br />

weigh over 800 lbs, but are balanced for easy<br />

use. The roofing is stainless steel. Hidden<br />

cameras are everywhere, including the interior<br />

stone walls. Gates insisted on saving a 40 year<br />

old maple adjacent to the driveway. The tree is<br />

monitored electronically 24 hours per day via<br />

computer. If it seems dry, it gets just the right<br />

amount of water automatically delivered.<br />
