Speaking at the launch of the Construction Equipment business, Dr Pawan Goenka, President, Automotive & Farm Equipment Sectors, Mahindra & Mahindra, said, I am pleased to announce Mahindras entry into a large, fast growing and profitable construction equipment industry with the launch of its first product in this category the EarthMaster Backhoe Loader. The Mahindra EarthMaster is an outcome of 36 months of development and is loaded with technology not hitherto seen in this product segment in India. With EarthMaster we are ushering in a new era of performance, comfort and ease of operation in backhoe loaders.
The Mahindra EarthMaster has undergone over 20,000 hours of rigorous testing in the harshest of terrains and for the toughest of applications. It has been validated on all performance, safety and reliability parameters. It is backed by Mahindras dealer network, which will have unparalleled reach across the country. India is the worlds largest backhoe loader market with over 25,000 units expected to be sold in this fiscal, and we hope to create a mark in this fast growing segment, said Mr. Kairas Vakharia, Business Head, Construction Equipment, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.
RISAT-1 (short for Radar Imaging Satellite - 1) is the first of the RISAT series of Indian remote sensing satellites built by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It uses a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for all-weather earth observation.
According to ISRO officials, RISAT-1 at 1,850 kilograms (4,100 lb) is the heaviest microwave satellite to be built by India. While the RISAT-1 was the first satellite of the RISAT series to be built, it will be the second to be launched. RISAT-1 is in queue for launch by ISRO's PSLV-XL rocket in April 2012.
Previous Indian remote sensing satellites relied mainly on optical and infrared sensors. RISAT-1 uses an indigenously developed C-band SAR, operating in multi-polarisation, multi-resolution modes.
The fabrication and launch of RISAT-1 was postponed in the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai attacks in order to prioritize the launch of RISAT-2 with its X-band SAR of Israeli origin.
The features of RISAT include:
160 x 4 Mbps data handling system
50 Newton-meter-second reaction wheels
SAR antenna deployment mechanism
Phased array antenna with dual polarisation
Most of the design and the installation of basic instrument subsystems for the satellite was done in 2010.
The idea of making Jaipur foot was first conceived by Mr. Ram Chander Sharma (Masterjee) who designed and developed the foot and the limb.
The Jaipur Foot was developed in 1968. The thesis submitted in 1971
To further improve the quality of Jaipur Limb, total contact socket
systems have been incorporated in below-knee prosthesis.
For the above-knee prosthesis design have been changed from quadrilateral sockets to Ischial Containment sockets using IPOS brims and total contact sockets. All these improvements have been possible because of the Research & Development work supported and promoted by BMVSS Jaipur. The BMVSS is working under the leadership & guidance of Mr. D. R. Mehta and because of his Managerial background this research work could be organized.
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) (Indian equivalent of the NASA of USA), the most prominent Scientific Institution of India, dealing with space research and products has signed an agreement with BMVSS for the development of polyurethane foot (instead of vulcanized rubber). Already field trials, mechanical and laboratory tests are under way and the results up till now are quite encouraging.
-- Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS), Jaipur was set up in 1975. It is a formally registered society in India.
-- It is a non-governmental, non-religious, non-sectarian, non-regional, non-political society, for helping the physically challenged, particularly the financially weak among them.
-- BMVSS is the largest organization, for the handicapped in the world in terms of fitment of artificial limbs and calipers etc., to the handicapped.
-- BMVSS, being a social organization engaged in humanitarian work, provides all the artificial limbs, calipers, crutches, ambulatory aids like wheelchairs, hand paddled tricycles and other aids and appliances totally free of charge to the physically challenged.
