Dr. J S Sahambi IIT Ropar and Dr. Rohit Manoj Kumar, Cardiology, PGI We propose to develop a system that will deliver critical patient information including “real time” waveform display (ECG, BP, Respiration, Temp, SaO2 etc.) directly from the patient’s bedside multi-parameter monitor to the doctor’s mobile phone for review and necessary action. There will be is a server based application which will receive real-time data from multiple bedside monitors and then store them in a secure database on a central server connected to Internet. Another application software will be built which will be installed in the doctor’s mobile phone. With this application the doctor will be able to connect (via Internet/GPRS/3G) to the hospital’s central server and then access the real-time data (ECG, BP, etc) for a specific patient.

Energy Harvest Intermediate Pyrolysis of Agri- Residues for off grid electricity generation in India IIT Ropar

 For every 1 ton of rice or wheat grain, about 1.5 tons of straw is produced. Agricultural Scenario in India  There is still enough scope and opportunity to use these feedstock (rice/wheat straw) for energy purpose as well. Not to forget there are many more crop residues that could be used apart from rice and wheat straw.  In case of combine harvesting almost all the residue generated is left in the field that finally ends up in burning. Currently the government is trying to bring in some strict legislation to stop burning.
