<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The lingerie would deliver electric shock waves of 3,800,000
volts to an attacker and features GPS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The garment can also
send emergency text messages to the police.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The unusual prototype
was created by three Indian students at SRM University in Chennai, who wanted
to combat ongoing violence against women.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The protective
underwear, named Society Harnessing Equipment (SHE), purportedly delivers up to
82 electric shocks to a would-be offender when pressure sensors on the item
detect unwanted force, according to The Times of India.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> "A person trying
to molest a girl will get the shock of his life the moment pressure sensors get
activated, and the GPS and GSM modules would send an SMS (to the Indian
emergency number) as well as to parents of the girl," said one inventor,
Manisha Mohan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Mohan and her two
colleagues, Rimpi Tripathi and Neeladri Basu Pal, hope to begin commercial
production of the device later this month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The issue of sexual
assault in India has remained on the public radar since the December gang rape
of a 23-year-old student on a public bus in Delhi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The victim died
thirteen days after the attack. The attack sparked mass anger and
demonstrations across India. There have also been two sexual assault-related
cases reported by female tourists. In the last three months, the number of
foreigners traveling to India has dropped by 25 percent, according to a recent
study by the New Delhi-based Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

SRM University student invents Dosamatic

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">An engineering student Eshwar Vikas at SRM University,
Chennai has invented a magic Dosa maker that can prepare a dosa every 20
seconds.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Vikas visited a restaurant in Delhi one day, he had an
expensive dosa that came at Rs 110 and was surprised by the high cost when
compared to the price of pizza, burger and donuts sold in the country.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">He started thinking on why Indian food like dosa, puri and
chappatis are sold at a higher price. Finally he came to a conclusion finding
the reason for the higher cost<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>as
these<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Indian food items, are handmade
and therefore needs talented people to cook which also involves extensive cost.
At the same time, foods like pizza, burgers and donuts are made at a lower cost
and are easily machine-made.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">The electronic engineer started working on this part, and
within a year he built two models. First he invented a medium-sized dosa maker
as big as a microwave and named it Dosamatic and another one much bigger in
size mainly for making dosas in large quantities. He called his invention,
“dosa printer” which could line up dosas within a few seconds by just pressing
a button.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dosamatic which he invented for large scale use costs
just one-third of the present machines sold in the market that come at a cost
of Rs 3 lakh, said Vikas. The engineering student from SRM University has now
set up a company called Mukund Foods with the help of Indian Angel Network and
a friend with an intention to adapt food production in the domestic sector and
also to export the product to US in future.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eswar Vikas hailing
from Hyderabad had spent a total of 6 lakhs to put up his dream project that
can yield nearly 700 dosas at a time.</span></span></div>
