Clubfoot (CTEV) is a deformity in which an infants foot (unilateral or bilateral) is turned downward (equinus) and inward (varus). Approximately one infant in every 1,000 live births suffers from clubfoot, making it one of the most common congenital (by birth) deformities. The exact cause is usually not identified but both genetic and environmental factors are believed to be involved. An orthosis with 6 Degrees of freedom, to provide supination and pronation as per the Ponseti technique is under development. It is expected remove the problems associated with castings like discomfort to the child etc. and can be used for correction by parents/paramedics as per schedule decided by the Physician. The orthosis will also reduce the extensive travel to the clinic for castings and follow-ups.

Heat dissipation is of utmost importance not only in high performance computing machines but also in chips of many electronic equipments. Microchannel heat dissipation devices are used to dissipate excessive heat and maintain operating temperature of such equipments. These microchannel devices usually have fins or liquid cooled channels to dissipate or transfer the generated heat. Liquid cooled channels are particularly helpful when the heat generation is high as they have much better performance than simple air-cooled fins. Nevertheless, as computing devices continue to increase in speed & efficiency with simultaneous miniaturization, better performance is desired on part of these devices too.

Advanced polymer composites can be used for product development including indigenous hybrid design structures if their properties are characterized and tested. The project deals with the interyarn hybridization of Kevlar fiber with carbon fiber in plain and twill weaving patterns. Fabrication of these woven hybrid textile composites using toughened epoxy matrix with the purpose to enhance their service life along with impact resistive properties is done. Different static dynamic mechanical and fracture toughness characterizations are performed on developed composite laminates. These fibrous composites are also developed by incorporating the boron carbide particulates to improve hardness. The numerical simulation of textile composites was performed on ABAQUS to validate the results. Better mechanical and impact responses were observed by the hybridization. This research is funded by DRDO ARMREB MAA Panel for approximately Rs. 50 Lakhs.
