Abstract:
The person who is visually and physically impacted can use this device for his peaceful living. It actually works on the principle of binary coding with a microcontroller interface. It’s just like a glove. The binary code is assigned to a particular task and the code is decoded and it is fed to microcontroller.

Patent 8,926,541, which can be Googled. or viewed on the USPTO Web Site, describes a means of removing plaque, cholesterol, calcium,, and blood clots from the cardiovascular system using "Charged Particle Migration," first observed in 1810, and first applied as a medical procedure with this invention.
This is accomplished by an electrical charge being placed on the body tissue,
Hydroelectric power plant is one of the renewable electricity resources extensively used for power production. But these power plants are located near hilly regions and are not designed for plain areas. Most of the perennial rivers have good water current throughout the years. This high water current can be used to produce electricity by using special mechanical arrangements.
The objective of this idea is to provide an alternative mechanism of transportation , instead of an internal combustion engine, which is pollution free, a fluid which is renewable, efficient and at the same time not sacrificing the practicality of an I.C engine.
The air-hydro-hybrid system can be the solution, here the vehicle carries two sources of power,
Water is one of the important and life supporting resources and most of the drinking water supplied to homes is not done at proper timings in most of the cities, so most of the people are not able to get their share of water.
Although more efficient than petrol vehicles, diesels produce relatively high levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and soot. Recent health concerns about particulate matter have given diesels a less environmentally-friendly image:
LPG (liquefied natural gas) is currently used as an alternative to petrol. Now, an equivalent alternative to diesel fuel has been developed, Dimethylether (DME).
Flying train is a very advanced version of advanced maglev Train. As we all know, maglev elevated train is one of the fastest trains in the world.
FLYING Train is which can be used in Interplanetary travel with lost cost without any rocket. It also can be used to country to country travel where airplane service is not good.
The physically challenged and elderly suffer a lot of problems in moving here and there. Also now-a-days, the security of physically challenged and old people is less because their homes can easily be attacked by thieves.
Burglary rates in various countries are rising day by day, particularly where old and physically challenged people reside.
