Stanford U to Actualize Indian Student's Idea of Using Human Pulse to Charge Cell Phones                 Think out of the box. It pays. This is what 15-year-old Sarojini Mahajan is happy to realise after her idea of using human pulse to charge a cellphone was picked up by Stanford University on Wednesday. A class IX student of St Mark's Senior Secondary Public School, Meera Bagh, Sarojini had sent her idea as an entry to IGNITE 2009 — a nationwide contest of innovative ideas. Though she won a consolation prize in the contest , Stanford University will now work on her idea. According to Professor Anil Gupta, vice-chairperson , National Innovation Foundation (NIF), which conducts IGNITE every year, Stanford University has already given a token amount of $1,000 to develop a prototype if feasible. '' The girl has provided the idea. But we need technical assistance to make it work. Stanford University has come forward to try out if human pulse can be used to charge an e-book they have developed.''

India to Build Next Generation of Airplanes for Airbus and Boeing Indian aviation expertise is now no longer confined to the cockpit and the crew. Domestic talent is now being tapped for the design and system integration of aircraft as well. Aerospace majors such as Airbus and Boeing have formed partnerships with the IISc, IITs and IIM-Bangalore to develop their next-generation air-birds, including A380s, A350s and the 787 Dreamliner. Chief executive officer of Airbus Engineering Centre India (AECI) Eugen Welte told ET that their company had decided to set up operations in India to source talent and develop competency here. "Of the 130 people recruited here, 120 are engineers and the company will increase the number to 400 by 2012," he said.

The proposal, which has already been approved by the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure, requires the successful bidders to also gradually shift production to India, setting in motion the government's initiative to encourage domestic manufacturing of the energy efficient power equipment.

Indian Institutes of Management to Offer  Some Seats to Foreign Students Soon LUCKNOW, October 27, 2009 -     With a view to giving a global stature to the country’s prestigious B-schools, Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) plan to throw open their gates for foreign students. The directors of various IIMs have already discussed the matter informally and it could be taken up at the higher level for a final decision, sources in IIM-Lucknow said here today. As of now, only Indian students can apply for admission to the IIMs. “We are looking into the matter. If it is passed, it may come into effect from next session,” Devi Singh, director, IIM-Lucknow, said. However, if the plan takes shape, it would not cut into the seats of the Indian students, as the number of seats could be increased by 10 per cent to accommodate foreign students, who could have to take a GMAT-type exam for seats in the premier institutes, sources have recently said.         IIMs are also contemplating opening campuses outside the country, and this matter would also be taken up in advanced discussions, sources said
