Anushka Kanodiya and Farhan Ansari, the student inventors\u00a0presented a working model of the technology recently at the 44th Jawaharlal Nehru National Science, Mathematics and Environment Exhibition (JNNSMEE) 2017. The model showcases a replica of Line of Control which has a magnetic plate on both the sides of the fence. The magnetic plates are \u2018Human Sensitive\u2019 and placed in the dimension of 10 meters on both the sides. As soon as a terrorist steps on the plate, a silent siren would alert the Indian Army about the external threat. The students are now looking to patent this technology, which would undoubtedly bring some respite to the border forces from the continuous nuisance plaguing the borders.<\/p>\n From shoes that count your steps to a walking aid that helps Parkinson\u2019s affected people to regain mobility, this week\u2019s journal is replete with interesting patents.

The shoe body (1) includes a shoe sole (11) having opposite inner and outer sides (111, 112), and a groove surface (113) defining a mounting groove (114). The pedometer (2) is removably disposed in the mounting groove (114) and includes a pedometer body (21) having opposite first and second faces (211, 212) and configured to detect and record the number of steps taken by a user, and a screen (22) disposed on the second face (212) and configured to display the detected number of steps. An engaging unit (3) is provided to fix the pedometer (2) on the shoe body (1), and includes a first engaging portion (31) provided on the groove surface (113), and a second engaging portion (32) provided on the pedometer (2) and releasably engageable with the first engaging portion (31).\u201d (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: ON DEMAND SYSTEM FOR DRAWING AND PURIFYING WELL WATER<\/p>\n Application No. 201717025463<\/p>\n Applicants: THE COCA COLA COMPANY<\/p>\n Abstract: \u201cThis disclosure provides systems and methods for generating potable water from contaminated water sources particularly well water. By eliminating the purified water holding tank employing a combination of source tank with carbon and reverse osmosis filters in series and using an actuated pump to supply impure water from the source a simple on demand system is provided that is especially adapted for use in remote locations. The system and method are particularly useful where only direct current power such as from a solar photovoltaic panel power is available.\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: A WALKING AID SYSTEM FOR A PARKINSON\u2122S DISEASE AFFECTED PERSON<\/p>\n Application No. 201621015918<\/p>\n Applicants: INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GANDHINAGAR<\/p>\n Abstract: \u201cThe present disclosure relates to a walking aid system for a Parkinson\u2122s disease affected person. In accordance with the present disclosure, the walking aid system comprises a stick, a first controller, a first ultrasonic sensor module, a laser generator module, a second ultrasonic sensor module, an auditory module, and a vibrator module. The stick is to be carried by the Parkinson\u2122s disease affected person and the components are disposed on the stick. The walking aid system is configured to receive sense and measure physical parameters associated with the walking of the person and predict freezing of gait based on the physical parameters. The walking aid system is further configured to generate multiple sensory signals to alert the Parkinson\u2122s disease affected person regarding the prediction of freezing of gait..\u201d(Abstract has been taken from the patent application as is and has not been corrected.)<\/em><\/p>\n A very interesting design has been published in the official designs journal of the patent office dated November 10, 2017.
