There has been much research carried out in both academia and industry about pedestrian detection based on visual processing. The pedestrian or cyclist is exposed to a lot of danger on the street as reflected by statistics collected all over the world.
Warpo is basically a multi-utility gadget holder. Its basic shape is that of an eye. Retractable spring holders emerge from the base in an outward stretching pattern. The base symbolizes the eye of a black hole and the stretchable arms symbolize the warped space around the eye of a black hole and hence the name WARPO !!!
Basic Idea
It is the idea of creating wirelessly controllable motorized boots for the physically challenged (leg) that can be used with ease and can be worn throughout the day without any discomfort over any kind of shoes of almost all sizes or over prosthetic legs.
My idea is just a concept which is based on a simple law of magnetic repulsion.
According to this law, I have made a simple diagrammatic arrangement of a solid metal shaft which can serve as a source of pumping water over small heights as well as can act as shaft for generator.
As per diagrammatic representation,
The concept of self-organizing tendencies, although touched upon in domains such as physics, chemistry, search methodology and biology, has recently gained increased acceptance owing to discoveries in nanotechnology and astrophysics. Advances in nanotechnology are rapidly expanding the scope of understanding of the fundamental mysteries of this universe.
Addressing Motorcyclist Safety
In the United States the number of motorcyclists is increasing according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and while motorcycle registrations are increasing, the increasing fatalities were not due to the increase in numbers.
The rate of fatalities per 100 million miles traveled has increased drastically. The increase between 1997 and 2004 was 89%.

it is a major problem in the Tea Industry to harvest only soft tea leaves for processing into tea where agriculture workers are not plentiful or workers cost are high.
From the age of stone, agriculture has been a major source of income generation and source of life. Lot of developments have been done in this direction to create it as an innovative and substantial occupation for the future generation.
