EC Department and Mr. Mohit Vora, an industrial expert invited for
STTP, made the Lamp enlightening (Wireless Deep Pragatya) possible by
detecting the thoughts in the mind of a person who wears the brain
mapping device. The person wearing the brain sensor, when thinks, the
brain sensor accept the input from the thought, process it and sends
appropriate Bluetooth signal to receiver through embedded system. The
specialized hardware receiver consist of heat sensing material and capable
to receive Bluetooth signal to enlighten the lamp (Wireless Deep
Pragatya). This Wireless Deep Pragatya had been the eye catching
highlight of the Inaugural function.
Media team specially visited the EC department to see the live
demonstration of Brain Machine Technology. They were highly impressed
by the demonstration and appreciated it greatly.
STTP got wide media coverage by leading news papers like Gujarat
Samachar, Divya Bhaskar, Sandesh, etc.

Application Developed During STTP
Various applications had been developed by the participants during the
STTP which are described as below which may prove indeed helpful to the
society:
1. Drive Safe
 This application can be used by a person driving a vehicle for
his/her safety.
 In order to avoid an accident, whenever the driver receives and
SMS, it is automatically converted into equivalent speech signal
and hence the person can concentrate on his/her driving instead of
reading the SMS.
2. Location tracker for stolen mobile
 This application is used to find the location of stolen mobile.
 Whenever someone inserts a new SIM card in the stolen mobile,
the app will automatically sent SMS to the predefined number
(without permission/knowledge of new user) containing following
information (without the help of GPS) :o 15 digit SIM number of new SIM
o IMEI number of stolen mobile
o And most importantly, information about the signal tower
which indicates the mobile location at that time

3. Application hider
 This application can hide any applications from the application
menu and hence that particular application will not be seen by
others.
 Thus it is a security based application.
4. Wake up Buddy
 This application can be used by a person who is sleeping with
mobile in silent mode. By just sending a message to him/her
mobile, the silent mobile phone give a call to buddy and
simultaneously activate speaker phone. Hence one can wake up
from even deep sleep.
