From gloves that talk and bags that save lives to ways of improving health by creative energy healing, the inventions are truly unique. The details of these applications are as provided below:<\/p>\n Patent Application 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n Title: HANDTALK<\/strong><\/p>\n Application No. 201611004510<\/p>\n Applicants: DRONACHARYA GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS<\/p>\n Abstract: \u201cTechnology has always been of great help to the disabled persons and given them a cause to live a normal and healthy life like others. We have come up with a novel idea of using a glove that will convert hand movements into voice and allow the deaf and mute to express themselves for communicating with others. This, Handtalk glove needs to be worn on the hand by the deaf or mute person. Depending on the different movements of the glove, the system will convert the motions to intelligent prerecorded voice. The Handtalk glove senses the movements through the accelerometer which detects the different patterns of motion. The device can sense each movement made by the. hand. The gestures can be converted to voice by using a voice processor. The heart of the system will be the PIC Microcontroller which is responsible for converting the hand movement signals to the corresponding codes which is further converted into voice by the voice processor\u201d<\/em> (Abstract has been taken from the patent application as is and has not been corrected.)<\/em><\/p>\n Patent Application 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n Title: A NOVEL SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING HEALTH BY CONCEPTUAL CREATIVE ENERGY HEALING<\/strong><\/p>\n Application No. 201721025571<\/p>\n Applicants: MR. SWAMI HARDAS<\/p>\n Abstract: \u201cThe invention is for controlling various health troubles and problems and improving the health of human beings by simple and the most economical approach of energy healing system utilizing conceptual creative energy. The subtle forms of universal energy and human energy are being properly applied in order to get the evidential effects of correcting energy field in and around human body and thereby attaining healthy state. Several clinical and on-field trials reveal that the utility of the system has several merits. Numerous persons are healed at a time.\u201d (Abstract has been taken from the patent application as is and has not been corrected.)<\/em><\/p>\n Patent Application 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n Title: THE SAVIOUR BAG<\/strong><\/p>\n Application No. 201721009725<\/p>\n Applicants: Dr. Suresh Kisanrao Ukarande et al.<\/em><\/p>\n Abstract: \u201cThe present invention relates to method and system of preventing accidents occurring due to accidental or unintentional falls from building using a saviour bag. The present invention relies on various steps to detect and prevent accidents by taking appropriate actions. The steps include a) placing sensors on each floor of a building depending on height and width of each floor b) activating and deactivating the sensors on the basis of the position of the person c) activating the buzzer based on the activation and deactivation of the sensors d) detecting that a person has jumped e) deploying a saviour bag for saving the life. Whenever a person stands with the support of the sidewall, few sensors get activated. Whenever a person climbs on the wall, the contact with some sensors will deactivate and with others get activated. At this time, the buzzer is activated to alert the respective authorities. As soon as the person jumps, the sensor on the topmost floor will detect that the person has jumped and will initiate the deployment process. The saviour bag will be deployed to save that person and life will be saved\u201d<\/em> (Abstract has been taken from the patent application as is and has not been corrected.)<\/em><\/p>\n BLADELESS FAN<\/strong><\/p>\n A very interesting design has been published in the official designs journal of the patent office dated August 11, 2017. The design, filed by Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. is titled BLADELESS FAN (Design number \u2013 285366) and has been registered under class 23-04 relating to VENTILATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT.
