Recently
a software has designed by an IPS officer ASP Navniet Sekera named
"Sewa-100". This is a distinctive type of software and it is a
hundred percent accurate system in detecting the fake and unwanted calls. The software also consists
of useful data of stolen vehicles,
vehicles and weapons registered in the district
etc. Besides, it has ability to record the discussion made between the

A Technique For Detecting The Leak
-
Sometimes we are unable or it takes lot of effort to find out the exact leak
position. To overcome the situation, experts at the University of Michigan have established a new technique of using sound to trace the leak. Under
this technique, the part which is to be tested is filled with hexafluoride
(a nontoxic inert tracer gas) scanned at 6000 times per second with a carbon dioxide laser. During the process, when the laser encounters an escaping
gas, consequently it expands, heats rapidly and generates a sound which is
detected at pinpoint leak by the Sonar. This technique will play a vital
role in tracing the little bit of leakage in huge parts.

Robot
: At your service round the clock - In Hong Kong, Scientists have
developed a robot which will works like domestic servants i.e. it will

to do. The cost of such robots which even sweeps up under the beds
will be US $6,500 each. But this aspect is still under
consideration to replace these robots with domestic servants because of
the robots have no any cooking or child-care skills.

A
new search at the University of California in Los Angeles has proved
that the couples who regularly argue may be damaging their health.
