Low Battery? Charge your phone
wirelessly. Wondering how?
T

here is a new technology through which
we can charge our phones by sharing
power wirelessly. It is really a nightmare
for phone-obsessed people when their phone
runs out of power and there is no electric plug
in sight.
There are different platforms in wireless
charging technology.
PowerShake: Wireless charging makes use of
two coils - one in the power transmitter and
other in the power receiver. When electrical
power passes through the power transmitter
coil, it generates electromagnetic field that
transfers power to the other coil. The coil is a
part of the battery charging circuit. This gives
best results at close distances. They also
devised electromagnetic shielding made of
ferrite plates and copper tape on the back of
the coil in order to prevent the transmitted
power from reaching the human tissues. One
more add-on is that the Lithium-ion batteries
cope with the short bursts of energy to
charge them up.
Eterna: Eterna uses the mechanism of the
transport of radio frequency prominently
over a broad band of active frequency waves
and ultimately making out a conversion of
the same into DC energy, the incredible
platform of ETERNA facilitates the wireless
charging of the placed battery within the
domain of the electronic device. It
encompasses a power receiver which is
termed Thunderlink. The power transmitter
is called NEST, portrays the role of a physical
charging station which is the place where the
device is charged vigilantly. The generation
of the specific RF energy is brought about by
NEST after the acceptance of the same from
Thunderlink.
These innovative solutions are based on the
concept of wireless transmission of electricity.
In this remarkable discovery of the “TRUE
WIRELESS” Dr. Nikola Tesla, “Father of the
wireless” created a huge milestone towards the
solution for world energy crisis. The Famous
Tesla Tower erected in Shoreham, Long Island,
New York is 187 feet high, the spherical top is
68 feet in diameter. Tesla
wanted to transmit electricity
from this tower to the whole
globe without wires using the
Ionosphere. The source of the
transmitted electricity was to
be the Niagara Falls power plant. The modern
ideas are dominated by microwave power
transmission. The transmission of power
without wires is not a theory or a mere
possibility, it is now a reality. The electrical
energy can be economically transmitted
without wires to any terrestrial distance; many
researchers have established innumerous
observations.
Scientists stated estimated that using these
kinds of technologies it takes 12 seconds of
charging which will support 1 minute of
additional talk-time and 2 minutes of charging
will support 4 minutes of video watching. This
new technology is very useful but suffers from
a disadvantage that is the transmitted
power must be twice of that of the received
power. This device finds it use in times of
emergencies.

First mirror imaged molecule found
in interstellar space
handed molecules. Both are easily
synthesized in the lab. Then some process,
perhaps incoming star light, preferentially
destroyed one - handedness, leaving only
the other to form life.
Life tends to be left-handed. Certain
molecules have mirror-image versions of
themselves, but have different physical and
chemical properties. This chemical
property, well known as chirality, is found
within all organic life forms. But the origin
of this property remains a mystery.
A team led by Brett McGuire of the National
Radio Astronomy observation in Virginia
and Brandon Carroll at the California
Institute of Technology have detected the
first chiral molecule of propylene oxide
within an enormous star-forming cloud of
gas and dust only 390 light-years away.
Although propylene oxide isn’t necessary
for life, both the scientists of the team are
excited that there are probably chiral
molecules in the interstellar space that we
associate with life too. “The really cool
thing is that life – for reasons we don’t
understand – selected one chirality for
some of its molecules over another,” says
McGuire. For example, amino acids are left
– handed, where as the sugars that make
DNA are always right handed.

Ultrathin Solar Cells
MIT researchers have created the thinnest,
lightest solar power cells yet – so
lightweight that they can be draped on top
of a soap bubble without popping it.
Researchers made all three parts of solar
cell (the cell, the supportive substrate, and
the protective coating) at the same time, a
method that cuts down on performance –
harming contaminants. The substrate and
coating are made from parylene, which is
flexible polymer, and the component that
absorbs light was made from
dibutylphthalate. The thickness of this solar
cell is about 1/50th thickness of a strand of
hair.
Carroll suspects that nature first produced
an equal number of right – and left –
"Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out." - John Wooden 3

The new devices are also super light-weight
, weighing only about 0.01 lbs. per square
yard(3.6 grams per square meter).In
comparison typical piece of office paper
weighs about 20 times more. These
ultrathin, super-light, flexible solar cells
could power next-generation portable
electronics.

Fusion of Quantum physics and
Genetic engineering
Have you all ever thought what would be
the upshot of blend of Quantum Physics
and Genetic Engineering? Well, here is the
outcome of it. Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) have managed to
genetically enhance a virus that can
improve the efficiency of solar cells in
transporting energy.
improved viruses are designed, that enable
the Solar Cells to generate energy with
nearly double efficiency. When compared
to plants, the solar cells stand nowhere
when it comes to the efficiency. Therefore,
the study of ‘quantum mechanics’ (also
referred as quantum weirdness) involved in
photosynthesis helped in improving the
functioning of the solar cells. This quantum
mechanics in plants allows the existence of
a particle in more than one place at a
particular instant of time.
In photosynthesis, when a photon hits a
receptor called chromophore, quantum
particle called exciton is produced. An
exciton transfers from one receptor to
another until it reaches a reaction centre to
harness the energy. Percentage of
efficiency depends on the path chosen by
the exciton to reach the reaction centre.
Unless the exciton takes the best way,
maximum efficiency is not possible. For this
to be accomplished, chromophores should
be arranged with the right amount of gap
between them. This can be done based on
the‘Quantum Goldilocks Effect’. Using this
concept, genetically engineered viruses are
bonded to their multiple synthetic
chromophores or organic dyes. Viruses with
variable spacing are produced in between
the chromophores and the efficiency is
tested and concluded which spacing gives
the best efficiency. Eventually, the speed of
excitons was also improved by more than
200 percent.
By exploiting the technique used by the
plants in photosynthesis, genetically
"Opportunities don't happen. You create them." - Chris Grosser 4

It is also to be noted that the excitons now
travelled a much larger distance before
dissipating the entire energy.
However, the study is still under preliminary
stages, but it has paved a way for a better
future. In this period of sparse energy and
non-renewable energy sources being on the
verge of exhaustion, this way of efficient
solar energy passes on sighs of relief by a
promising alternative.
The 3Doodler works by extruding heated
plastic that cools almost instantly into a
solid, stable structure, allowing for the freehand
creation of three-dimensional objects.
It utilizes plastic thread made of either
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ("ABS"),
polylactic acid ("PLA"), or “FLEXY”, thermal
polyurethane (“TPU”) that is melted and
then cooled through a patented process
while moving through the pen, which can
then be used to make 3D objects by hand.
The 3Doodler has been described as a glue
gun for 3D printing because of how the
plastic is extruded from the tip, with one
foot of the plastic thread equaling "about
11 feet of extruded material".
Know-how is required:

Three Dimensional Printing Pen
(3Doodler)
Inventors Max Bogue and Peter Dilworth
have invented a unique pen that draws in
the air. A colourful spool of plastic thread is
fed into the pen.
The thread is then extruded as heated
plastic that cools and solidifies instantly as it
exits the tip.This allows solid 3D structures
to be drawn on any surface or from any
surface into the air.The pen, called a
3Doodler, weights approximately 7 ounces
(198 g) and is 7 inches (17.7 cm) long. It
requires no technical knowledge or
software and plugs into an electrical outlet.
The co-inventors met while working for
WowWee, a company based in Hong Kong
that develops consumer technologies..
The 3Doodler doesn’t require any technical
knowledge to use it. You don’t even need a
computer to get going — just load in the
plastic, heat it up and start doodling! This
feature makes it an easy sell for people who
don’t want to invest a huge sum of time and
money into getting a full-scale 3D printer
and learning the necessary coding skills.
Fastness:
The 3Doodler heats up in one to two
minutes, and after that it’s ready to draw.
Since everything created with the device is
made in real time, it’s many times faster
than conventional 3D printers.
"Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value." -Albert Einstein 5

It will certainly be cheaper than, say, a
Makerbot Replicator, so it’s just a matter of
time before public interest takes hold and
the 3Doodler is a mainstay in the toolbox of
many an artist.

Cognitive Computing
IBM WATSON
It is a new era of computing, it’s a
cognitive computing. Generally we humans
understand something and to make
decision we undergo 4 key steps:
1. We observe visible phenomenon.
2. Interpret what we have to understand
what it means.
3. We evaluate which is right or wrong.
4. Finally we decide choosing the option
that is best and acting accordingly.
So, we can say that with cognitive
computing we can build a system which act
and think like humans.
Cognitive computing involves self-learning
systems that use data mining, pattern
recognition and natural language
processing similar to the way the human
brain works. We will teach computers to
recognize analog whether it is natural
languages, visual images and then
interpreting them and translating them and
making sense of them.
Two major approaches to cognitive
computing:
1. Neuromorphic architectures:
Computer or device-level systems
modelled after biological systems or
components, such as neurons and synapses.
These may be implemented in analog,

World's fastest computer -china
The Sunway TaihuLight at the National
Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, China, was
ranked as the world's fastest
supercomputer on a Top500 list. It runs on
a homegrown ShenWei processor and is
capable of 93 petaflops (million billion
floating point operations per second)
of sustained performance.
"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out." Robert Collier 6

Its peak performance can reach 125.4
petaflops, and a monster 260-core chip.
Each chip delivers a performance of 3
teraflops, which is rated as being on par
with Intel's latest Xeon Phi chip codenamed
Knights Landing. That chip is rated
as one of the company's fastest. The
Chinese supercomputer has a staggering
10,649,600 cores over 40,960 nodes. It was
developed by the National Research Center
of Parallel Computer Engineering and
Technology. China is also the first country
to make a supercomputer that passes 100
petaflops in performance.
Countries are in a race to make a computer
that can deliver a performance of an
exaflop, or a million trillion calculations per
second. It is a 64-bit RISC processor, which
Top500 speculates is based on the DEC
Alpha architecture. The supercomputer has
1.3 petabytes of the older DDR3 memory,
and uses 15.3 megawatts of power, making
it more power-efficient .
Body Interfacing
One of the newest inventions in interface
devices is Skinput. This invention allows the
surfaces of your body to be used as a touchscreen.An
armband projects the image of a
menu or keyboard onto your hand or
forearm. This armband also contains an bioacoustic
sensor that can detect and analyze
sound frequencies. Because of bone
density, joints, and soft tissue, different
locations on the body have different
acoustic properties.
When you tap your finger on different parts
of your body it creates a unique frequency
based on the specific area. Skinput can
detect what part of a projected image you
are touching and in turn can transmit a
wireless signal to a computer, smart phone
or other device. Skinput was created by the
project team of Desney Tan, a senior
researcher in the Visualization and
Interaction Area at Microsoft Research; Dan
Morris, a researcher in the Computational
User Experiences at Microsoft Research;

Smart contact lens
Google Contact Lens is a smart contact
lens project announced by Google on 16
January 2014. The project aims to assist
people with diabetes by constantly
measuring the glucose levels in their tears.
The project is being carried out
by Verily and it is currently being tested
using prototypes. The lens consists of
a wireless chip and a miniaturized glucose
sensor .A tiny pinhole in the lens allows for
tear fluid to seep into the sensor to
measure blood sugar levels. Both of the
sensors are embedded between two soft
layers of lens material. The electronics lie
outside of both the pupil and the iris so
there is no damage to the eye. There is a
wireless antenna inside of the contact that
is thinner than a human’s hair, which will
act as a controller to communicate
information to the wireless device.
“Without hard work and discipline it is difficult to be a top professional.” -Jahangir Khan 8

The controller will gather, read, and analyze
data that will be sent to the external device
via the antenna. Power will be drawn from
the device which will communicate data via
the wireless technology RFID .Plans to add
small LED lights that could warn the wearer
by lighting up when the glucose levels have
crossed above or below certain thresholds
have been mentioned to be under
consideration. Challenges presented by
such a technology are that the LED lights
contain the toxic metal arsenic. The
performance of the contact lenses in windy
environments and teary eyes is unknown.
The prototypes being tested can generate a
reading once per second.
The product was created by Brian Otis and
Babak Parviz .
This research and technology can be used
to develop advanced medical and vision
devices for future generations.

Need hair? Press “print”
MIT researchers designed arrays of hair-like
structures with a resolution of 50 microns -
about the width of a human hair.
the angle of the bristles, the pads can stick
to together with varying forces. For sensing,
the researchers printed a small furry rabbit
figure, equipped with LED lights that light
up when a person strokes the rabbit in
certain directions. To see whether 3Dprinted
hair can help or move objects, the
team fabricated a weight-sorting table
made from panels of printed hair with
specified angles and heights. As a small
vibration source shook the panels, the hairs
were able to move coins across the table,
sorting them based on the coins' weight
and the vibration frequency. JifeiOu, a
graduate student at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) in the US said that the
work is inspired by hair-like structures in
nature, which provide benefits such as
warmth, in the case of human hair, and
movement, in the case of cilia, which help
remove dust from the lungs. To 3D-print
hair using existing software, designers
would have to model hair in CAD, drawing
out each individual strand, then feed the
drawing through a programme that
represents each hair's contour as a mesh of
tiny triangles. The programme would then
create horizontal cross sections of the
triangle mesh, and translate each cross
section into pixels, or a bitmap, that a
printer could then print out, layer by layer.
“To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.”-Socrates 9

Ou said designing a stamp-sized array of
6,000 hairs using this process would take
several hours to process. To design hair, the
researchers built a new software platform
to model first a single hair and then an
array of hairs, and finally to print arrays on
both flat and curved surfaces.

Project Jacquard: Google’s plan to
make our clothes go Techy
Technology is being woven into our very
clothes. Google has a new technology that
can turn any type of fabric into a connected
device. World's first smart denim jacket
that's being built in collaboration
between Google and Levi Strauss &co
(American Jeans and Casual wear
manufacturer).It is Google’s plan to weave
touch controls into textiles right on the
loom .The idea is that you’ll then be able
to swipe and tap the fabric to do things like
control music or get directions
New conductive yarns that Google's
Advanced Technology and Products (ATAP)
team created with industrial partners
combine thin metallic alloys with natural
and synthetic yarns like cotton, polyester,
or silk .Using this yarns, cloth makers can
weave touch and gesture sensitive areas at
desirable locations on the textile. Sensor
grids can also be woven throughout the
textile to create interactive surfaces. Touch
and gesture input is wirelessly transmitted
to the wearer's Smartphone or other
mobile gadget. In this way a wearer can tap
the surface to start a playlist while biking
across town.
Levi’s is making a black jean jacket
embedded with jacquard sensors. The
Jacquard sensor and controls are located on
the sleeve of the jacket. Such uses include
changing music while on a bike and
receiving a tap when to make a turn. Like
other clothing, it can be easily washed
without damaging the technology. Jacquard
weaves sensors into the textile, which can
be used to control phones and other
devices. For example, a user can control
music and increase the volume by tapping
on the sleeve of the jacket. Technology is
embedded in the fabric.
Capsule Endoscopy
B. Bhavani
III yr, CSE
Capsule endoscopy is a way to record images of
the digestive tract for use in medicine. The
capsule is the size and shape of a pill and
contains a tiny camera. After a patient swallows
the capsule, it takes pictures of the inside of the
gastrointestinal tract. The primary use of
capsule endoscopy is to examine areas of the
small intestine that cannot be seen by other
types of endoscopy such as colonoscopy or
esophagogastroduodenoscopy (ECD)
“Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.”-Peter Drucker 11

HoloLens- Microsoft’s Most Insane
Invention
Developers will soon get their first
opportunity to create apps and games for
Microsoft’s HoloLens mixed reality headset,
which adds holographic computer images to
the wearer’s physical environment.
Medical uses:
Capsule endoscopy is used to examine parts
of the gastrointestinal tract that cannot be
seen with other types of endoscopy. Upper
endoscopy, also called EGD, uses a camera
attached to a long flexible tube to view the
oesophagus, the stomach and the beginning
of the first part of the small intestine called
theduodenum.
Capsule endoscopy is useful when
disease is suspected in the small intestine,
and can sometimes diagnose sources of
occult bleeding [blood visible
microscopically only] or causes of
abdominal pain such as Crohn's disease,
or peptic ulcers.
Capsule endoscopy transfers the captured
images wirelessly to an external receiver
worn by the patient using one of
appropriate frequency bands. The collected
images are then transferred to a computer
for diagnosis, review and display. A
transmitted radio-frequency signal can be
used to accurately estimate the location of
the capsule and to track it in real time
inside the body and gastrointestinal tract.

Skype communications app and a worldexploring
app called HoloTour. Games are in
the mix too, like crime
drama Fragments and platformer Young
Conker, both of which turn players’ physical
environments into the game space.
“It is amazing how different the play
experience feels based on playing the game
in your living room versus your kitchen or
your bedroom,” writes Microsoft’s Kudo
Tsunoda in a blog post. “Even starting the
game from a different position in a single
room creates an entirely new game play
dynamic.”
Microsoft is shipping its futuristic headset
to developers just as the first mainstream
virtual reality devices are starting to arrive.
The Facebook-owned Oculus VR’s Rift
goggles are expected to ship at the end of
March, while HTC’s Vive virtual reality
eyewear is coming in April.
“ Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.”- William Shakespeare 12

Although the HoloLens experience might
sound similar to virtual reality, it’s notably
different. Unlike VR headsets, the HoloLens
projects three-dimensional holograms onto
the real world around a wearer, meaning
the actual environment around a user is still
visible. The HoloLens is a self-contained
Windows 10 computer to be worn on the
face with which wearers can interact
through gestures, gaze, and voice
commands.
With this an able-bodied person
can communicate with a deaf person by just
speaking to the device. The device will then
show the words that were said
on its display so that the deaf could read
the message. This displayed message
can also be verbally read by the device if
wanted. This function allows conversation
to be possible even between the deaf and
the blind. For example it can speak to a
blind person what a Deaf person says;
however, for a Deaf person it takes a voice
and transforms it to sentence structure.

Scientists Discover How to ‘Upload
Knowledge to Your Brain’
Researchers claim to have developed a
simulator which can feed information
directly into a person’s brain and teach
them new skills in a shorter amount of time,
comparing it to “life imitating art”. They
believe it could be the first steps in
developing advanced software that will
make Matrix-style instant learning a reality.
Researchers from HRL Laboratories, based
“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”-H. Jackson Brown, Jr. 13

in California, studied the electrical signals in
the brain of a trained pilot and then fed the
data into novice subjects as they learned to
pilot an aero plane in a realistic flight
simulator. The study published in the
journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience,
found that subjects who receive brain
simulation via electrode embedded head
caps improved their piloting abilities and
learned the task 33 per cent better than a
placebo group.
When you learn something, your brain
physically changes. Connections are
made strengthened in a process called
neuro-plascity. It turns out that certain
functions of the brain, like speech and
memory, are located in very specific regions
of the brain and that brain stimulation
could eventually be implemented for tasks
like learning to drive, exam preparation and
language learning.
However, scientists are still busy working to
find out a solution to the battery problem.
A new device has been come into existence.
Zinc Oxide has been employed to harness
vibrations that have been caused by sounds
and transform them into electricity.
Generation of voltage takes place via nanorods
by conversion of kinetic energy
into electrical energy by stretching or
squashing the zinc oxide. By providing
electrical contacts on both ends of the rods,
one is able to harvest enough electrical
energy. The end product would be about
the size of a mobile phone itself.

Smart phones are the most crucial everyday

Injections are a popular mode for delivering
drugs in order to prevent and treat various
diseases. But it is an invasive method of
drug administration as it causes tissue
damage.
“ If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.” - Milton Berle 14

Injections can be a source of disease
transmission, particularly when needles are
re-used and used incorrectly.
After the tattoo is applied to the patient, a
"very mild" electrical current is also applied
to their skin. This causes sodium ions in the
fluid between their skin cells to migrate
toward the electrodes. Those ions carry
glucose molecules from the fluid with them.
Using a built-in sensor, the tattoo then
measures the strength of the electrical
charge produced by that glucose. As a
result, it's able to ascertain the glucose
levels in the patient's bloodstream.
Although the tattoo currently doesn't
provide a numerical readout of those levels,
a separate device is being developed for
that very purpose. The team is also working
on making the tattoos more durable, as
they currently last for about a day once
applied to the skin – fortunately, they're
very inexpensive.

Scientific Street Lamps to prevent
Dengue Fever
Dengue fever has become widespread in
the tropical world, causing as many as 390
million infections per year in 128 different
countries. In order to eradicate this a street
lamp, called the Eco-Greenergy outdoor
lighting system.
This is meant to bring better light sources to
the cities and remote communities while
also fighting mosquito-borne disease.
It consists of an LED street lamp that
produces low levels of carbon dioxide to
mimic odors associated with humans,
attracting the insects. The level of carbon
dioxide emitted by the light is kept low to
minimize emissions, but is still very
attractive to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes enter
a trap through windows on the top of the
lamp, and are pulled into a net and kept
there by a suction fan. The light functions
entirely on wind and solar energy and is
self-sustaining, meaning it can supply basic
electricity even in very remote areas. The

Anti HIV Using Nano-robots
Nano-robots are nano devices that will be
used for the purpose of maintaining and
protecting the human body against
pathogens and the operations are
performed on nano metrics.
There is no technology for the
treatment of AIDS. To make the treatment
more specific, we use the nano devices
that use nano-sensors to sense the AIDS
infected WBC’s.
Nano-robot in Nanoscale
According to current theories, nanorobots
will possess rudimentary two-way
communication; will respond to acoustic
signals; and will be able to receive power from
an external source via sound waves. A network
of special stationary nano-robots might be
strategically positioned throughout the body,
logging each active nano-robot as it passes, and
then reporting those results, allowing an
interface to keep track of all of the devices in
the body. A doctor could not only monitor a
patient’s progress but change the instructions
of the nano-robots in vivo to progress to
another stage of healing. When the task is

Now days with the growing population and
energy demand we should take a renewable
option of energy source. A solar tree is a
decorative means of producing solar energy
and also electricity. It uses multiple no of
solar panels which forms the shape of a tree
and the panels are like leaves of the tree
which produces energy. We can also use
the technique called “SPIRALLING
PHYLLATAXY” to improve the efficiency of
the plant. It can be applied in street
lightening system, industrial power-supply
etc.

radiation into usable form, the routes are:
solar thermal, solar photovoltaic and solar
architecture. Advantages of it are No air
pollution, People in poor country would
have access to electricity, People can save
money and Land requirement is very less.
Its disadvantages are Cost is high, May
cause hazards to the birds and insects.

MEMS mike for 'zero power' event
detection
Have you ever imagined a smart phone
which is circular in shape rather than the
bar shaped phones we carry? US based
startup Monohm recently launched its
circular smartphones named ‘Runcible
Babbage’ and solid wood back ‘Runcible
Lovelace’.
The first commercially available quiescent
sensing MEMS device, launched by Vesper,
“ Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.”- A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 17

is said to open the possibility of acoustic
event detection devices consuming almost
no power.
The VM1010 is a single ended
analogue piezoelectric MEMS microphone
said to consume 3µA while in listening
mode. According to Vesper, the device
features a rugged piezoelectric transducer
that is immune to environmental
contaminants, making it suitable for
outdoor use as well as in kitchens and cars.
“The VM1010 is the only device
that uses sound energy to wake a system
from full power down,” said Matt Crowley,
CEO, Vesper. “Even when fully powered off,
batteries in smart phones and smart
speakers naturally dissipate 40 to 80µA,
which is far more current than VM1010
needs. This means there is no difference in
battery-life for a system using VM1010 in
listening mode and a fully powered down
conventional system. “Once embedded in a
voice powered TV remote control or smart
speaker, for example, VM1010 could allow
you to turn on your device from across the
room without having to push a button and
without diminishing battery life.”
MEMRISTOR
Pinipe Suma
IVyr, ECE.
A Memristor, or memory+ resistor, is described
as one of the basic elements (resistor,
capacitor, Inductor) of electronic circuits; it
can’t be replaced by any combination of these
elements. Computers today have
to boot from hard drives because the data is
erased from operating memory immediately
after the computer is turned off. The process of
booting takes much time and energy.
Memristors could be used for loading data
quicker because it remembers data even after
power interruption. Therefore, they could be
used to speed the booting process. As shown in
the figure electricity runs through water flow by
which resistors size is changed. When no power
is supplied the diameter remains same as this
helps it to hold data even when the power is
turned off.
A memristor-driven computer would arguably
never need a reboot. You could leave all your
Word files and spreadsheets open, turn off your
computer, and “go get a cup of coffee or go on
vacation for two weeks,” When you come back,
you turn on your computer and everything is
instantly on the screen exactly the way you left
it. That’s how they work. The whole synapse
idea is to do essential analog computation in an
efficient manner.

DOLFI
We believe that the best technologies have
their roots in nature. Ultrasonic technology
is widely used for precise cleaning in
industry and medicine – watches, jewellery
etc.
With this we can save on dry cleaning cost
or for delegates and you won’t run out of
fresh clothes on your travels. You can even
buy any kind of fashion you like and not
worry about the "Hand wash only" label.
One can easily carry this to any place as a
mobile charger.
Exactly in the same way now this ultrasonic
technology is now used for washing clothes.
How does it work?
It's amazingly simple... Put your clothes in
waterproof container; add water, detergent
and Dolfi. Switch the device on and enjoy
your free time!
The device will glow blue as it softly cleans
your clothes. Blue light indicates ultrasound
vibrations in the water. After only 30-40
min, your clothes will be fresh and clean.
Rinse them and hang to dry – you can wear
your favorites again the next morning! Its
powerful multi-frequency transducer
creates precisely modulated wideband
progressive sound waves, which travel
through water and form microscopic highpressure
bubbles. The tiny bubbles then
implode, creating millions of micro-jet liquid
streams. Those invisible yet powerful
streams safely wash away all dirt from
fabric.

Green clothing from recycled plastic
bottles
There was a time when used plastic bottles
were a threat to the environment. Today, it
is being used positively to manufacture
garments. In fact, many people are wearing
this green garment made from used water
bottles. In the current scenario of textile
pollution, choosing green clothing is a sign
of being responsible and sensible towards
environment.
With the help of advanced technology, first
of all the plastic bottles are collected,
compressed, packed into bales and shipped
to the processing factory. Then, the plastic
bottles are chipped and melted into white
round balls which are again crushed and
spun through shower like nozzle that results
into viscose yarn.
“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”- Lyndon B. Johnson 19

These yarns are used to weave fabrics and
finally end up into a trendy piece of
clothing. This process also consumes 30%
less energy than garments which are made
from conventionally manufactured
polyester. It is proven that recycling plastic
reduces pollution.
Using pillows with conducting fibres in the
fabric, it will be possible to see or monitor
electrical activity from the brain.
This will not only show when someone is
dreaming, but also able to tell what they
are dreaming about.

It is also possible (with prior agreement
presumably, and when both people are in a
dream state at the same time) for two
people to share dreams. One could try to
steer a friend’s dream in the same
direction, so that they could effectively
share a dream, and may even be able to
interact in it.

Space X Dragon
Dragon is a free-flying spacecraft designed
to deliver both cargo and people to orbiting
destinations.
Dragon is a spacecraft developed by
SpaceX, an American private space
transportation company based in
“The noblest search is the search for excellence.”- Lyndon B. Johnson 20

Hawthorne, California. It’s manufacturer is
SpaceX .
Dragon Version 2, along with Boeing’s CST-
100, as the nation’s new taxi to and from
the International Space Station.
This technology should be gentler, to
protect delicate instruments, and more
accurate, to deliver the craft’s seven
passengers with the precision of a
helicopter.
It is the only spacecraft currently flying that
is capable of returning significant amounts
of cargo to Earth. Currently Dragon carries
cargo to space, but it was designed from
the beginning to carry humans.
It is just like a cab that we take help of to
travel to over desired destination.
SpaceX is made from both safety and
efficiency in Dragon’s design. Most
spacecraft, including the Soyuz capsules
that currently dynamic astronauts, depend
on parachutes to slow their re-entry speed,
which makes for a rough landing.
This may even would help us to create man
living on any of over desired planet. As all of
us have been hearing travelling and leaving
on other planet, which will be becoming
true in just few years by this magnificent
innovation which would lead to a great
change in our entire world.
Dragon can also be prepped for re-launch in
weeks, dramatically reducing mission
turnaround time and potentially saving
millions of dollars. As a result, the final
frontier will become more accessible than
ever.
