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 />
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 />

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 />

Robotic hand, it is an advanced technology which<br />
is useful for the person who doesn’t have hand’s<br />
such as handicapped. By connecting the<br />
electrodes from the artificial hand directly to<br />
motor cortexes which is present in brain and<br />
sensory. If any other person touch the robotic<br />
hand they can feel the sensation and they can<br />
move the hand how they think,there is no remote<br />
to control the hand,the only remote is BRAIN.<br />
There are no damages caused by it till now,it<br />
need an operation to insert electrodes and<br />
connected to the brain.The fource which is<br />
applied by the robotic hand is as same as the<br />
original hand.<br />
It is invented at JOHNS HOPKINS<br />

Defence Advanced Research Projects<br />
Agency(DARPA).They tested it by touching the<br />
person having robotic hand, by closing the<br />
persons eyes and asking the person which finger<br />
was pressed and it was succesful. So many are<br />
benifited by this robotic hand and this is so useful<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 />

advanced technology making lives more easier,<br />
especially in communication sector. The above<br />
headline looks quite interesting, let’s have a<br />
glance.<br />
A new manufacturing process which uses similar<br />
process of newspaper printing to form more<br />
flexible metals to produce ultrafast devices,<br />
scientists say. The low-cost process, developed<br />
by researchers in Purdue University in the US,<br />
combines tools already used in industry for<br />
manufacturing materials on large scale. Actually,<br />
mobiles, tablets, PC’s and laptops rely on their<br />
internal metallic circuits to access the data on<br />
high speed.<br />
The fabrication technique is like<br />
getting thin rain of water on a stencil mask which<br />
is in the shape of circuit, same like graffiti on the<br />
walls. But the disadvantage is usage of these<br />
kinds of circuits<br />
these circuits, as required more in future. The<br />
issues in these fabrication process in roughness<br />
and low resolution. So scientists came up with an<br />
idea of making smooth metallic circuits in<br />
nanoscale using carbon flame lasers, mostly used<br />
in industries for cutting and graving of metals.<br />
The fabrication technique gives that ―super<br />
elasticity” to the circuits. Since different 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 />
In the future, the roll-to-roll fabrication of<br />
devices using our technique could enable the<br />
creation of touch screens covered with<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 />
26
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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

motor drives it to fold along all of its joints,<br />
forming a hollow, 12-sided container around<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 />
