The main aim of the project is to implement a low cost reliable system which will help to establish communication between paralytic or disabled patients and a nurse. We use sensors in order to measure the statistics of motion. It then passes on this data to the micro controller.
The project we are putting forward is Behavioral Enhanced Encryption. As now cyber security is a serious threat to our privacy and online data, there us a need to overcome this issue with certain technique so that to an extent we are safe.

First "Automated Hands-Free Umbrella" (patent granted), that follows your intention of movement while protecting from environmental conditions and assisting you in outdoors.
Coupled Tank gadget/system (CTS) is extensively used particularly in chemical process industries. In procedure industries the controlling of tanks is important. Whenever we talk about controlling it means that we need a closed loop system.
The nuclear fission is performed on a low weight radioactive material like Iodine. The heat so released is used to convert water into steam, which in turn drives the turbine.
We employ plastic extrusion technology to transform post consumer plastic waste into building materials (Plastic lumber). Plastic lumber is a durable and affordable alternative to timber, which reduces the need for building material manufactured from wood.
