ACADEMIC PROJECT
Magneto-resistive force sensor for measuring loading profile of TKA patients Sept. ‘15 - Dec. ‘15
 Proposed a new power supply to refine the device for real-time measurement of loading profile in Total
Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) patients which resulted in a more compact model without the need for a battery.
Smart shoes for blind people using infrared & ultrasound transceiver Jan. ’11 – Apr. ‘11
 Built a shoe prototype for obstacle detection for blind people.
 The shoe has an infrared transceiver for obstacle detection in the front and ultrasound transceiver at the
bottom for pothole detection.
DTMF operated communication robot Jan. ’11 – Apr. ‘11
 DTMF signal was encoded using HT12E IC, then transmitted to the bot using 433 MHz transceiver, and
decoded the signal using HT12D IC.
 The decoded signal is used to operate the bot using 89S52 microcontroller and L239D motor driver IC.
Blood Flow Meter using Piezo-Film-Sensor Aug. ‘10 - May ‘11
 The sensor is designed to measure the blood flow in hand by measuring the time delay between the two
piezo-film sensors placed on the wrist and on the brachial artery.
