In order to prevent accidents ALL vehicles should be equipped with a breath analyzer. The driver has to give a breath sample before he starts the engine. If alcohol is consumed beyond the limit, the vehicle engine will not start and if the breath sample doesn't contain alcohol then the engine circuit will be closed and the vehicle will start.
Title: Paddy Weeder for Random Sowing of Paddy
NEED BASED SOLUTION
Small Tool – More work
BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
Presently no tools are used to remove the weeds in paddy fields. Humans stand in the field and bend and remove the weeds with hands and then submerse the weeds in mud slurry, so that the weeds decompose in the fields.
SignAloud is a pair of gloves that can translate sign language into a verbal form instantaneously and in an ergonomic fashion.

ABSTRACT:
A MODULAR RADIAL COMPRESSOR for compressing fluids includes a compression vessel having a collapsible vessel internal space having expanded and a compressed sizes, the compression vessel having an intake structure for passing fluid into the vessel internal space from fluid sources and an output structure for passing fluid out of the vessel internal space;
A business named evolving electric motor company (eemc) was founded to create an extended range (ER) hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) drive train (initially) for any and all types of vehicles driven by an internal combustion engine (ICE), plus any vehicle already operating strictly on electricity.
I had an idea while Photoshopping, I wanted to be able to draw on my monitor but in real life so I will be able to erase it and change it from my perspective. So i thought about it and then I got a brilliant idea of small and thin plastic that will be costumed to fit your screen.
Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (HPVT) system collects both photovoltaic and thermal energy from incoming sun light. Conventional solar panel collects photovoltaic energy but wastes solar thermal energy in sun light.
This is a relatively simple off-the-shelf upgrade to the brake light system on present-day automotive and trucking light visible signal installations. It exhibits, at variable distances and while moving in the traffic flow,
I will initiate a project that involves building a replica of a V2 rocket. Well actually it will be the Bioremediating Missile. The project is being developed under the fictitious company Ecological Space Engineering and is engaged in speculative design to improve the quality of life on Earth. The Bioremediating Missile will be built from biodegradable materials like wood,
