Environmental sustainability is increasingly critical in today's world, necessitating effective management of carbon, water, and electricity footprints. Our software solution represents a significant advancement in this area, integrating real-time data from APIs and IoT sensors to track and manage environmental impacts comprehensively. By utilizing machine learning algorithms,
For some modern-days applications (as microrobotic [1,2]) there is a need for compact power sources. We suggest a novel approach based on smart low-symmetry materials. They can generate DC and pulsed high voltage without any electronics with versatile power supplies (sunlight, laser, heat/cold, mechanical stress).
The management of home utilities is one major area of innovation brought about by the advent of smart technology, which has revolutionized many aspects of daily life. For both suppliers and customers, smart LPG gas monitoring and automated booking systems are a huge step forward in terms of efficiency,
In the era of AI, everyone wants to communicate more interactively with an immediate or real time response. This leads to increase in devices with visual, input interfaces. With leading technology, the higher resolution displays with touch, voice or gesture-based inputs are today’s needs.
Air pollution is the number one cause of death in the world. Traffic pollution causes tens of thousands of deaths each year in the USA alone. Most people get their highest exposure in traffic, inside their car. Car manufacturers have been working on the subject for years using sensors,
EyeGuard is a revolutionary small device designed for people with eye illnesses and those who frequently use computers. Easily installable on any pair of glasses, EyeGuard is virtually unnoticeable due to its compact size and comfortable fit.
Problem Solved
EyeGuard addresses the need for continuous eye health monitoring,
NavTrack is an innovative indoor navigation and occupancy monitoring system that utilizes cutting-edge technologies to revolutionize the way people navigate large building complexes. Designed to address the challenges faced by occupants in finding specific locations within buildings and ensuring their safety during emergency evacuations,
Power in rotating machines is the product of torque and angular velocity. Present day machines are low torque and high angular velocity machines. CHALASANI TURBINE is a very high torque and low angular velocity machine. Wheel and axle mechanical advantage is a well known concept.
A new concept for a Radial Internal Combustion Engine. Simple, Low Cost, Low Speed, High Torque that can run on almost any flammable fuel. It can be used in a small scale for remote Water Pumping, Electrical Generation, etc.
