Though there are many systems of security that exists today, most of them are outsmarted by the intruders. The CCTV cameras are capable of recording everything that happens in a place 24 x 7 and stores everything in a backup memory (hard disk). But it is unable to alert the owner at the time of intrusion. Also, the present-day CCTV system cannot prevent the theft. This proposed project is to provide a smart security system to the society by interfacing a large number of electrical and electronic gadgets. This product makes use of a motion sensor interfaced with a microcontroller chip and some additional devices to alert the owner of the Shop\/ House\/ Building to be secured. When the thief enters into the Shop\/House\/Building where the product is installed, Phone call is made to the owner whose number is initially coded in the microcontroller. Video of the intruder is taken at the time of intrusion and these videos are sent to the cloud server and it can be viewed using our own mobile App. Provisions are made to control the equipment such as Lights (ON and OFF) and Siren (ON and OFF) that are connected to the product by the Mobile App by means of cloud. When this product becomespopular and is used by many customers all these products can be connected to a web server and can be connected to the police data base. This can be monitored by the police department. This present product competes with the existing high cost security systems on cost, performance and reliability<\/em><em>\u201d (The abstract has been provided as is and has not been corrected for errors)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Invention 2 &#8211; SMART DEVICE FOR BLIND<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Patent Application No.: 201841037693<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Applicant: NATIONAL ENGINEERING COLLEGE-NEW GENERATION INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT CENTRE<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abstract<em>:<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><em> \u201cThe World Health Organization (WHO) reported that there are 285 million visually-impaired people worldwide.
