Title: Threat zone of an explosion particularly in oil and gas handling industries or refineries. Category: Disaster Management. Subcategory: Software. Organization: Ministry of Home Affairs. Description: Development of software for Indian physical territory containing exact geographical locations of all hazardous locations which contain potential risk to damage and destroy human life, property, and environment on a huge sale. This software should be able to find out the area or more precisely the threat zone in which the radiations and blast waves of an explosion will spread to damage its surrounding locality. Its been observed in many explosions and fires in industries, say according to the official report of Jaipur IOCL Fire by SK ROY, GM ISE, CO INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED, held on 29 October 2009, where the fire following an explosion in a tank caused 9 tanks out of 11 to explode drastically after the first explosion and the fire continues to spread its havoc for a sum total of 11 days and no fire personnel, experts and fire services could suggest ways to put off the fire and the fire extinguished by itself after the crude oilfuel in the tanks on fire gets totally burned. According to this report, later MB LAL Committee provided 118 recommendations for oil installations but the fighting capabilities cannot be utilized if they can not be directed through the right way and direction of approach towards the fire. The above example shows that even if we have sufficient firefighting resources but if they approach the fire from the wrong direction say from a direction or zone where radiation is at its peak or from where the efficiency of firefighting will be least the available resources are of no use. One should know the zone affected by the fire and the area where the radiations will be very high, high, medium, or low i.e. areas could be distinguished according to the radiations and potential to damage the human, flora, and fauna of the locality present in that threat zone. If a fire will be tackled from the right direction it can be extinguished in a more efficient manner with the least use of resources, and the least wastage of resources, within the least time. One of the most useful advantages of such software is that it can be used to evacuate people and animals from areas with disastrous exposure to radiation so that more and more lives can be saved until the fire will be extinguished or under control. So, such software should be made and propagated among fire personnel for its more efficient and convenient use for different eases and zones for different types of storage i.e different threat zones for different types of storage like LPG bullets, Horton spheres storing the same volume of LPG with different wind speed and wind directions will have different affected areas under radiations. Development of such software will help a lot to our fire services to tackle any type of explosion and fire scenarios with more efficiency.

Title: Active Prosthetic ankle and adaptive equipment for bike riding in lower limb amputees. Category: MedTech  BioTech  HealthTech. Subcategory: Hardware. Organization: Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. Description: Currently, used prosthetic systems for lower limb amputees can replicate normal human locomotion to a maximum extent which is considered a basic need however, finding the ideal prosthetic solution for their desired lifestyle can be difficult. From the survey, it has been observed that there is a demand from the lower limb amputee population regarding the use of motorbikes for transport purposes. However, for lower limb amputees, this operation creates some inconvenience as there is no active ankle movement. Most importantly, the prosthetic feet currently used in the Indian context possess stationery ankles, and in some cases, more advanced feet use hydraulics or externalpowered systems which dont solve the practical requirements of riding motorbikes for this patient population. The main functions when riding a motorcycle is gear selection and brake operation using the amputated leg. The right foot applies the rear brake on the right side of the motorbike. This is normally operated with ankle movements to press down the foot on the brake lever. Considering the inconveniences being caused to the lower limb amputees, there is a requirement for some modification options such as utilizing a modified brake lever. Alternatively, the left side of the bike has a gear selector to accentuate the controlled speed. This is usually activated by left ankle movements to move the forefoot up and down depending on whether the gears need to go up or down. The modification for the lower limb amputees may include the lefthand thumb operated up and down gear selection to module the operation of active ankle prosthesis in either direction for forefoot up and down motions at 510 degrees intervals to engage and disengage the gear module. Development of brake operation will be useful to resolve the practical issues of riding motorbikes in lower limb amputees, the dream of which was once upon a time lost due to the lower limb amputation
