  • Patent number: 11444648
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable, affordable and user-friendly mobile RF radiation detection device. The device is composed of three major parts, namely, a sensor arrangement, a processing 5 unit, and a power supply. The sensor arrangement consists of a flexible sensor and an associated circuit element having few passive electrical components. The substrate of the sensor was made of nanoparticle treated flexible material preferably paper treated with the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The electrically conducting patches made 10 of conductive materials preferably silver pastes on the substrate are the key component in detecting the RF radiation from the mobile. The electrical signal generated by the RF sensor is sent to the processing unit, which further transmitted the signal to a mobile android application for displaying the result.

  • Publication number: 20210015402
    Abstract: Design and development of an affordable, user-friendly, and portable POCT hand tremor detection device has been reported. This device is composed of a detection unit, a flexible pressure sensor, a signal processing unit, and a power supply. The detection unit is composed of the sensor and press-knob. The flexible pressure sensor is a combination of usually spaced apart flexible polymer preferably polydimethylsiloxane, flexible substrate preferably paper, and a conductive coating preferably reduced graphene oxide (RGO). When the users put pressure on the press-knob through the fingers, the flexible pressure sensor actuates and bends so that conductive RGO layers on the flexible substrates come in contact with each other to generate an output current.

  • Patent number: 10883182
    Abstract: A microfluidic electrolyzer includes a housing having a power source, a sea water reservoir, a downstream microfluidic reactor connected to the reservoir and a collector for storing the separated gases emanating from the microfluidic reactor. The downstream microfluidic reactor includes a substrate, a microchannel embedded with respect to the substrate and providing a water inlet end at one end and a product outlet at the other, and a pair of electrodes. The electrodes are electrically connected with the power source and each electrode has an operative end inserted within the microchannel constituting an anode and a cathode. The cathode and the anode are positioned one ahead of the other, from the water inlet end and maintained in direct contact with the water to generate the oxygen and hydrogen involving electrolysis of the water and in-situ separate pathways of the hydrogen and oxygen free of any mixing with each other.
