Development of a non-electrical device for tracking the movement of the sun for movement of the solar panels, increasing their efficiency
Background: Solar panels are most efficient when they are directly facing the sun. However, the sun’s position changes throughout the day and across seasons, which can reduce the amount of sunlight that fixed solar panels receive. Description: Traditional solar tracking systems often rely on electrical components and motors, which can be costly a...
Design/Development of an efficient Energy Storage System (ESS) to integrate intermittent Renewable Energy sources and to support/stabilize the grid
Background: The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources like solar and wind presents significant challenges due to their intermittent nature. This variability can strain the power grid, leading to inefficiencies and reliability issues. Traditional grid infrastructure is not designed to handle these fluctuations effectively, resulting in e...
Wearable sensor with Artificial Intelligence for prevention of falls in elderly people
Background: As per the census 2011, Disability is more common in elderly people. One of the major reasons for disability among the elderly people is falls. Every year, one-third of community-dwelling older adults (adults aged 65 and older) experience a fall. Falls, defined as “unexpected event[s] in which the participant comes to rest on the grou...
Development of portable device (non-contact device) for measurement of eye pressure in glaucoma patients for usage at home
Background: Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, and managing intraocular pressure (IOP) is crucial for preventing disease progression. Description: Traditional methods of measuring IOP, such as Goldmann applanation tonometry, require direct contact with the eye, topical anaesthesia, and skilled personnel, making them less accessible...
Development of chemical strip (non-electronic) for identification of high temperature exposure in transportation of medicines/vaccines/FMCG goods, to ensure its usability
Background: The transportation of temperature-sensitive goods is a critical aspect of supply chain management. Medicines, vaccines, and certain FMCG products require strict temperature control to maintain their efficacy and safety. Description: Exposure to high temperatures can compromise these products, leading to potential health risks and fina...
