Cleaning is the most time-consuming work everywhere -- home, offices, etc. So,my attention is regarding the development of a self-cleaning products industry in India. This concept comes from a scratch related to Lotus effect which has super- hydrophobic property. Also some insects having this property by which they can float over water without wetting their legs.
Today's kitchens serve as more than just places to concoct supper. Advanced kitchens are increasingly regularly the home's focal get-together place, a region where families mingle and get to know one another as much as they really take a seat for dinners.
How does it work?
All vending machines consist of two major parts: electrical and mechanical. Initially the customer swipes his/her identity card containing their unique code. This card is scanned by the RFID reader; if it is accepted then the electrical interface consisting of 8051 microcontroller, regulator 7802 and 7812 etc.
Save3 is a visual feedback system designed for hotel rooms. Comprising a set of smart objects, this system subtly encourages guests to save water and electricity by monitoring consumption and by providing an incentive to conserve.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
The number of disabled persons with limb loss in India was estimated to be 2,17,83,481 during July to December, 2011. They formed about 1.8 percent of the total population.
There were 1,285,000 persons in the U.S.A living with limb loss in 2009. The prevalence rate in 2009 was 4.9 per 1,000 persons

I want to draw your attention to my invention, "apparatus for water supply to the internal combustion engines, " Gruzpatent" GE P 2005 3525 B. 04.11.2003. AP 2004 3577 A F 02 M 25/02. which significantly improves the economical/environmental performance of internal combustion engines.
The present automatic transmission is fully mechanically controlled and the cost is very high. In this study, a gear shifting mechanism was designed and applied on a clutch featured bike to make the gear transmission process faster and less destructible for the driver using push button system design.
The invention outlines the design of a nano-size camera that is implementable on a nano-scale electromagnet. The camera is fabricated using the infrared photodetectors (semiconductors) that are designed on a sub-micron technology. (The camera is thus, an infrared camera, because the visible spectrum would be too complicated with the optical sensor fabrication.
The goal of this project was to improve UAV efficiency and safety through use of biomimetic design. This was achieved through the application of a hydraulically actuated soft robotic fin. Drawing inspiration from the manta ray, a custom actuator was developed to achieve a feasible, lifelike locomotion method.
