Description: The present invention uses a solid substrate (chromatographic paper) and the coloring reagent is an azo dye micronized to finer particles. A stabilizer which is a carbohydrate is mixed with the coloring agent in the ratio 5:1. The quantification part is a sophisticated electronic circuitry. The detection is based on the light refraction-absorption-reflection ratio. The device works in accordance with digital image processing technique. A IMX219 sensor with 2p lens is used as sensor to analyze the specimen (Marijuana with saliva). The result is displayed at a 2.4inch OLED display. The whole device is powered by an appropriate battery.

Description: Melanin-based bio panel (MBP) technology is believed to offer an effective way to solve the inefficiency of the silicon-based solar panels. Melanin is the pigment which is acting as a colorant in animals, plants and human body giving the hair and skin their characteristic color. The technology makes use of melanin from hair in solar panels replacing silicon, as light-absorbing material to generate electricity.

Description: The patent developed a biofilter that was economically feasible by using locally available herbs and materials that had the potential to purify water. The team was able to identify certain locally available leaves as well as fruits, seeds, and wood bark that could be used for the purification process. These 16 herbs were mixed burned coconut shells and carbonized rice husks. A filter bed is constructed with all the necessary components from these herbs and is placed between the containers for getting the purified water.
