4. Brain – Chip Connection

5. Brain_Chip
Dr. Naweed Syed , a biomedical researcher
was the first scientist to connect the human
brain cells with a silicon chip! The new
technology from the lab of Naweed Syed was
published online in August 2010.This
groundbreaking step has paved the way for
major scientific breakthroughs like giving
people control over their artificial limbs,
reversing memory loss, curing blindness etc.

6. Brain_Chip
A four millimeter
square silicon chip
studded with 100
hair_thin ,micro
electrodes is embedded
in brain’s primary motor
cortex.
 The sensors detects
tiny electrical signals
when a user imagines.

7. Fatima Fertilizer

8. Fatima Fertilizer Group
In 2013, a Pakistani firm invented a new formula to make
fertilizers that cannot be converted into bomb-making
materials. The firm, Fatima Fertilizer, had succeeded in
making non-lethal alternatives to ammonium nitrate, a key
ingredient in the fertilizers it makes. Fertilizers with
ammonium nitrate, however, can easily be converted into
bomb-making ingredients

9. After this invention, CNN reported that the United States and
Pakistan reached an agreement to jointly make fertilizers with
non-explosive materials. But diplomatic sources
told Dawn that an agreement could only be reached after the
new material is tested. The sources said that US experts would
soon visit Pakistan for testing the new material with experts
from the Fatima Group, Pakistan’s major fertilizer
manufacturer.

11. Brain (computer virus)
Brain is the industry standard name for a computer virus that
was released in its first form in January 1986, and is considered
to be the first computer virus for MS-DOS. It infects the boot
sector of storage media formatted with the DOS File Allocation
Table (FAT) file system. Brain was written by brothers, Basit
Farooq Alvi and Amjad Farooq Alvi, from Lahore, Punjab,

12. Hydro Powered Generator
(The Water Generator)

13. The Water Generator
Rehan Aziz Farooqi, an engineer from Swat, invented a generator
that can not only run on water, but can also allow any engine –
whether it’s diesel, gas or petrol – to run on water as well. The
generator works by separating the hydrogen and oxygen found in
water and converting them into viable energy source. As
hydrogen is extremely explosive however, the generator’s
inventor wants to ensure there are no dangers

15. The Human Development Index
(HDI)

16. Anyone in touch with Economics knows about the Human
Development Index. Well, it was developed by a Pakistani, Mahbub-ul-
Haq in 1990.

17. HDI
In 1990, Mahbub-ul-Haq revolutionised economics with the
creation of The Human Development Index. According to
Mahbub-ul-Haq, the sole purpose of the index was “to shift
the focus of development economics from national income
accounting to people centered policies.” That is, the HDI
focuses on the health, education and living standards of
areas to measure development, not on the amount of
income.

18. Solar Mobile Network

19. Mobile Network
Researchers at the Information Technology University (ITU) in
Lahore, together with a team from the University of California,
have developed a prototype “Rescue Base Station” (RBS) for
Pakistan – the country’s first emergency telecoms system that
would work on normal cell phones.
 And use in disasters like floods and earthquakes when
regular communications are often disrupted.
It has a solar panel to charge the battery, to keep it working in
places without electric power.

20. The Ommaya Reservoir

21. Reservior
A system for the delivery of drugs
Created by Ayub K. Ommaya, a Pakistani neurosurgeon in
1963, the Ommaya Reservoir allows chemicals to be injected
into the brain, via a catheter, to treat brain tumors, leukemia
and leptomeningeal disease.

22. The Anti-Terrorist Algorithm

23. Algorithm
This was created by Gold Gif solution. Solutions had created
an algorithm that claimed to be able to predict where the
next terrorist attack would occur, simply based off of
behaviour patterns and data mining. After the algorithm
received a success rate of 35%.
