Ferrites have remarkable magnetic properties. The possibilities of preparing ferrites in the form of Nano particles has opened a new and exciting field of research with revolutionary applications not only in electronic technology but in the field of Biotechnology as well. Magnetic particles with size in Nanometer scale have magnetic properties which differ from those of bulk materials. Therefore we are interested in investigating Electronic Magnetic and Microwave absorption properties of different types of Nano Ferrites such as Barium, Calcium and Strontium Nano Ferrites.

Portable Intensive Care Unit (PICU) capable of delivering drug in ambulance during the transition time of the patient. This system is capable of not only monitoring but of administering vital life saving medicine also. This system is operated by doctor from any location using a simple software application. The person monitoring the patient can contact the specialist doctor to share vital information and drug plan. This will reduce unwanted delays and prove to be life saving. Due to the portability of the system it can be implemented in ambulances or at the bedside of critically ill patient, thereby resulting in timely treatment for critically ill patients. The virtual presence of specialist doctor is a significant feature of this system. This will enable it to be successfully employed in rural health centers as well.

This invention focuses on movable surveillance camera fitted into helmet with WIFI support and long backup. It allows surveillance camera to move even in crowded areas and moreover smart helmet can continuously transmit audio/video even when he/she is taking rest. Present invention is also eco-friendly as it is based on solar energy but in past inventions non-solar batteries were primary source of energy. Present invention also allows analysis of past video data as everything is recorded on server permanently.

A Passenger Occupancy Monitoring System with smart properties, which include two display devices one will be fitted above the Main Entry Door of Vehicle, so that the passengers those who are getting up can view the current sitting status of vehicle and another will be attached on front side of vehicle which can be viewed by Policeman or other roadways authority from long distance, a micro controller with some sensors to detect the human entry from entry door and add up the counter another sensor work in reverse manner while the passenger getting down of bus and consistently the status of display board get updated.

Apart from Display Board, Micro Controller and Sensors this device can be connected to computer network cloud system and the status in every stop will be updated instantly in database using Big Data Analytics technology. The detail of occupancy status with date, time may be retrieved at any time.

Project Detail Remote Liquid Dispenser

A Smart Liquid Dispenser with smart properties. Smart Liquid Dispenser device preferably includes a measurable storage chamber, a stepper motor based actuator, a micro controller. Smart Liquid Dispenser will dispense the liquid with a pressurized syringe system. Pressure and measurement will be controlled by programmable microcontroller. The input to this device can be given remotely either using Computer or Smartphone. The amount of liquid to be dispensed can be planned with timer. More particularly, the idea relates to such a system for accurately dispensing predetermined volumes of liquid, specially the idea relates to a Liquid Delivery System which determines the volumes and quantities as a function of pressure.

Smart Liquid Dispenser device is further connected with computer remotely and also having the capability to transmit the data over network to far off places. Virtual Private Network/GSM technology to be used to transmit the data. SDL device can be controlled remotely by using smart phone android technology and the entire activities can be recorded in a database, with Big Data Analytics technology.

Project Detail Centralized Fuel Consumption Monitoring System for Distributed Fuel Stations

Each fuel dispensing unit is to be equipped with microcontroller with GSM module that is programmed to track the reading of fuel dispensed and immediately transfer it to the computer system at refinery. This computer system is installed with customized software to record the readings send by microcontroller and provide the user with customized reports based on individual fuel station.

InnoData is envisaged to be a complete Innovation Management and Tracking System to automate all the activities of Office of Patent Facilitation and Licensing at Chitkara University and provide end– to–end tracking of the same through a robust and interactive interface. The system enables the Administration to have a well informed view of each and every activity under OPFL with complete tracking and reporting support.

The activities under OPFL need to be automated and managed by means of Innovation Management Portal. The portal will provide a one point solution for all the activities under OPFL. The portal will be helpful in managing activities and storing information for future retrieval.

The entire system shall be divided into various sub-modules pertinent to each Actor of the system. A block diagram for such a system can be understood as below–

This project requires further & regular development to support more categories & target a much broader set of users. The ultimate aim of this website is to make people earn by doing what they love. The next category that would be developed is E-Learning or Online Teaching through which users can upload their own tutorials on any topic & get paid for every course they sell.

Skill Set Since this is a live project, it requires a few members who have good amount of knowledge in any of the following languages: PHP, MySQL, SEO & Social Marketing, HTML, CSS JavaScript, Web Security and JQuery.

The objective of the project is to develop language resources for Differently-abled Persons in form of:

• 
  Punjabi Speech Recognition
  
• 
  Sign language Recognition
  

Software Requirements generation contributes to around 15-20 % of software development cost. Furthermore, identification and forecasting of software project requirements may have a direct impact on the sustainability of the software. The outcome of this project would be an expert system for forecasting software project requirements.

Social networking platforms have provided the contemporary society with an open platform where ideas, opinions and views can be shared without much restriction. Such platforms can be used for anticipating future trends and optimizing decision making.

Plagiarism is considered to a major challenge in intellectual property ownership. This project is focused to come up with an open source platform, which can be used to check suck mal practices.
