• Water level sensor unit for overhead tank: It consists of two floats and electrical signaling unit. Based on level of water in tank (empty/full) different signals are activated and fed to control unit
• Water level sensor unit for reservoir/water source: In normal cases the pump starts once the water level in overhead tank falls below the threshold/reserved level and stops when it is filled up. Sometimes it happens that the water source is empty, which results burning of motor winding. Whenever the water level sensor unit for overhead tank sends signal to control unit for switching on the pump, this unit (2) checks the water level in the source and send feedback, also when the pump is running (overhead tank is not completely filled) but there is no water in source, it sends signal to control unit for switching off the pump
• Control unit: This is the main unit of the system, which receives signals from water level sensor units and switchs on/off the pump accordingly

Bamboo needs to be stripped of its outer covering for developing smooth surface to make part of interior decoration in rooms/houses, cups, pen stands, etc. Manual method of doing the job is time consuming and laborious. The machine developed by Mr. Toshi can do all the operation of removing the outer knots, smoothening the surface, carving internal/external and finishing at one platform. The machine has soft touch joystick controlled operating system and enables operator to work precisely.

The innovation is a cost effective manually operated device that helps reduce drudgery. This is specifically designed to increase the efficiency of bamboo workers, who prepare bamboo splints for incense sticks, tooth picks, ice cream sticks and is a good livelihood generation product. The innovative design optimizes waste utilization. An Indian Patent (A.N. 73/MUM/2005) has been filed for the Innovation.The innovator has received various orders from NGO's addressing conservation issues.

It is a non-violent castor leaf based silk rearing technique wherein the 'pupa' is not killed before spinning yarn from the cocoons, the adult moth in ericulture is allowed to emerge alive from the cocoon and complete its full life cycle.

The cost effective innovation having optimized size, material, weight and arrangement of silk rearing trays offers a host of benefits like easy maintenance, durability, increased productivity and profitability. As these trays are lighter in weight, a single person can handle these trays comfortably.

The solar mosquito destroyer offers a cost-effective and environment-friendly solution to destroy mosquitoes. It attracts the flies utilizing the smell from a drainage/septic tank and traps them into the translucent top (solar furnace), where they perish in the heat of the sun. Mosquitoes have low heat resistance capacity and hence they get killed. The innovation is based totally on solar energy, which makes the system very eco friendly. An Indian patent No. (198668) has been granted to this innovation.
