The 2020 Auto Expo is one of the biggest motor shows across the world and has been consistently ranked among the top seven global motor shows. The motor show witnessed most of the players of the automotive industry from about 30 na-tions including China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Unit-ed States of America, etc. This year, the theme of the Auto Expo is ‘Explore The World Of Mobility’. Some of the new manufacturers which will be making their debut are Great Wall Motors from China, FAW (Bird Group), EVerve, Devot Mo-tors and Nahak Motors. Some of the big-gest debuts at the 2020 edition of the Au-to Expo was Tata H2X mini SUV, new line-up from Great Wall Motors, the new-generation Hyundai Creta, the launch of the Kia Carnival MPV and a big line-up of electric cars and regular cars from MG Motor India as well. Expect some fire-works from two-wheeler manufacturers like Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd and Piaggio as well. Skoda and Volkswagen too will have a mouth-watering line up of SUVs and electric vehicles and expect Mahindra to showcase a bunch of interesting concepts and future vehicles too. In addition to this, with two working models, UPES had an impressive stall at the Expo. The first one was an electric bicy-cle which focuses on fitness by not having a fully electric mode. Instead, it has electrically-assisted pedals that can assist you for 70km. The battery takes 4 hours to charge via a regular household socket and it has programmable power settings for different users, for example, for a kid the torque and top speed will be lower while for a heavier person they can specifically bring up torque. The cycle can even have a bio-metric lock installed that will only open when user’s fingerprint matches. The second was an electric cart built to be used as transport in the campus. It cost the students Rs. 1.9 Lakh to build it. The cart uses IoT to communicate with other electronics in the campus. The students had been approached by a few companies for collaborative and sponsored projects, and hope for the same at this year’s Expo.

‘I innovate’ challenge at KPIT Sparkle 2020
ACHIEVEMENTS
KPIT Sparkle is an inno-vation platform that nurtures, mentors and supports aspiring entrepreneurs, students from the STEM (Science, Technology, En-gineering, Math) streams and connects them with incubators in the ecosystem to transform their inventive ideas into viable prod-ucts. It also encourages and facil-itates students to secure intellec-tual property for their solutions. Under its aegis, ‘I innovate’ chal-lenge received more than 3000 ideas from over 20,000 students across 1000 colleges in India.” Team Retrofit, compris-ing UPES’ Mechanical Engineering students and their faculty mentor, was shortlisted for the ‘I innovate’ challenge at KPIT Sparkle 2020, for designing a Retrofit Camera system for road safety. The students of UPES once again brought laurels for the university through their problem-solving innovation. Team ‘Retrofit’ comprising of 4th-year Mechanical Engineering students, Aviral Singh, Sambit Sarkar, Mohit Khatri and their Faculty Mentor, Mechanical Department, School of Engineering, Mr. Prashant Shukla, was shortlisted for the grand finale round of ‘I innovate’ challenge, at KPIT Sparkle 2020, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune. The team showcased its market-ready product – a side-view retrofit camera system, useful for all
the automotive segments. The pur-pose behind this product is to elim-inate the blind spots in the side-view and rear-view mirrors by us-ing cameras and display tech-niques. Faculty mentor, an elated Mr. Prashant Shukla, said, “The showcased idea was the outcome of real incidence. Most of the four-wheeler users face the challenge of driving with broken side-view mir-rors and/or overtaking a vehicle, which is running with folded sideview mirrors. It was a great team effort, which resolved such a serious road safety issue with a simple and affordable solution.” “The developed solution,”
Mr. Shukla added, “is a market-ready retrofit kit, which can be implemented in any kind of 3-wheeler or 4-wheeler or multi-axle vehicles. I would like to thank UPES and KPIT Sparkle for providing such a big platform to display our idea among industry experts and incubators. Very soon, our solution will be certi-fied through a regulatory authority and launched into the automotive market.” Dr Anil Kakodkar, Chairman, Rajiv Gandhi Science and Technology Commission, and former Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission, was the guest of honor at KPIT Sparkle 2020. Dr Unnat Pandit, program director, Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, and Dr Anita Gupta, Adviser and Associate Head (Innovation & Entrepreneurship), Department of Science & Technology (DST), were special guests at the event.

Fabric Helmet to help prevent COVID-19 Contamination
Dr. Ashish Karn, faculty at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, UPES has developed a Comfortably Vented Indige-nously Designed (COVID) Fabric Helmet for curbing infection spread in community settings such as schools, colleges and healthcare facilities The faculty of UPES proved yet again that service to hu-manity will always be the priority for an academician. Dr. Ashish Karn has developed a Fabric Helmet for the first line of defence to fight the COVID-19 infections. The proposed design has been made available to the National Innovation Foundation with a consent to distribute it to the general public at various platforms. It has also been shared with DST MyGov Innovate Portal and FISS, Assam. The nations are about to lift lockdowns and ease stringent measures in the better interest of the economy and its people. India, being no exception, after a continued stretch of a nation-wide lock-down, heads towards abating some of these restrictions, albeit a tre-
mendous undercurrent of apprehension looms high in the hearts of millions of its concerned citizens. Dr. Karn’s contribution has arrived just in time to help flatten the curve and reduce the burgeon-ing Coronavirus statistics. “There are many lingering questions, the answers to which seem elusive to the extreme. The life post lockdown is not going to be directed by predefined paradigms and may require some well-measured, prudent and cautious steps, particularly in community settings. This allusion to health and safety sounds a bit clichéd version of the rhetoric – prevention is better than cure,” said Dr.Karn, T h e r e g u l a r masks, he added, are un-comfortable and require constant adjustment. There are problems of humidity build-up inside the masks, high chances of leakage, problems with breathing, and one needs to take off the mask for ingesting liq-uids, food and medicine, even in a community set-ting or a crowded region. “To address these limita-tions,” he informed, “of the commercially availa-ble masks, a team of re-searchers from the Mul-tiPhase Flows Laborato-ry (MPFL), Department of Mechanical Engineer-ing, UPES, have pro-posed the design of a low-cost Comfortably Vented, Ingeniously Designed (COVID) fabric helmet. It is designed in such a way that usage of this cheap helmet along with the usually worn cloth is enough to provide complete protection to an individual.” The fabric helmet is integrated with many innovative design features that will not only address the concerns of the users, it will also be comfortable, cheap and ease pressure on the requirement for PPEs, thus curtailing the COVID-19 infection spread in the country. Dr.Karn believes that in the absence of a clear-cut pharmacological intervention such as a vaccine, the pandemic necessitates an active implementation of non-pharmacological interventions such as the need for a protective gear for the general public.

Automatic Hand Sanitizer Dispenser for workplace
Third-year B.Tech. Mechatronics student, Ab-hinav Mudgal, has devel-oped a touch-free hand san-itizer dispenser machine for workplaces, under the guid-ance of the faculty of Me-chanical Department Maintaining sound hygiene is the most effec-tive way of preventing the spread of infectious diseas-es. Effective hand washing is widely acknowledged to be the single most im-portant activity for reduc-
ing the spread of infections in the environment. One way of achieving this is to have a convenient auto-matic system, which will encourage people to sanitize their hands quickly with lesser effort. Keeping this in mind, Abhinav Mudgal, under the guidance of Dr. Narayan Khatri and Dr. Shyam Pandey (Mechanical Department), has created a touch-free hand sanitizer dispenser for workplaces. Talking about the inspira-tion behind this invention, Abhinav said, “I was interested in Biomedi-cal instruments as I come from a medical background at home. Upon the recommendation of my teach-ers, I started working on this pro-ject to tackle the COVID situation. It took time as raw materials and parts were shipped and delivered late due to the lockdown. But my teachers kept my spirit high by en-couraging me to complete it in the interest of the society at large.” The research team informed that the working model of the hand sanitizer is yet to be patented. The prototype includes an electrical control circuit and viable mechanical design. The ultrasonic sensor, motor, microcontroller and the transistors control the various functions of the device. The mechanical design will allow the sanitizer bottle to dispense the alcohol-based hand rub. The process will be completely touch-free and resource-conscious. The product will be available at less than half the price of similar products in the market. A faculty mem-ber said, “Against the price of products ranging between 4000-5000 INR, our product should be available in about 1500 INR, which is a big achievement. The dedication of the research team behind this product was phenomenal. Abhinav’s hard work has paid off. We knew we were doing this for the greater good.” A message for UPES by Abhinav Mudgal Amidst the lockdown and a shift to online classes, it was difficult to suddenly switch from one mode of learning to another, initially. However, when you come to think of it in the long run, it is noth-ing different than what we used to do in class. Motivation and dedication have very little to do with the medium or the channel of instruction. If you are determined to do something, you will do it despite the odds. This was my biggest learning while working on this project. I am immensely proud to be a part of UPES.”

Automatic Hand Sanitizer Dispenser
with Temperature Monitoring & Mask Detection System
The Faculty and Students of UPES continue to work towards mitigating the numerous challeng-es thrown up by the ongoing pandemic which have pushed human life towards a new normal way of liv-ing. Social distancing, wearing of face masks and intermittent sanitization of hands have already become the new way of life and will continue to be the new normal for long times to come. During the quaran-tine period, students and faculty teams in UPES have worked towards innovating various interventions towards developing effective devises which become mandatory moving ahead in times. A student – facul-ty team of the Mechanical Engineering department in UPES has developed a touch less sanitizer dis-pensing unit. Uday Veer Mittal, pursuing his B.Tech in Mechatronics at UPES under the guidance of his faculty mentors Geetanjali Raghav and Dr Ajay Kumar has developed an “Intelligent Sanitizer Dis-penser” which operates without human touch. The working prototype has been installed at the Covid Care Centre near the Maharana Pratap Sports College on Raipur Road in Dehradun.
Trivendra Singh Rawat, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand in his recent visit to the Centre wit-nessed a live demonstration of the said dispenser and appreciated the concept. Applauding the efforts of team, he encouraged them to take it to the next step of commercializing it. Speaking on this occasion Uday Veer shared that during the earlier part of lockdown period he saw the need of having contactless sanitizer dispensing unit at public places and was encouraged by his mentors to work on it. Sharing her thoughts on this occasion Geetanjali Raghav informed that an ultrasonic sensor has been used in this unit, the moment this sensor detects the presence of human hands it dispenses the preset volume of sani-tizer. The two salient features of this unit she disclosed included regulating provision of the amount of sanitizer to be dispensed out for a single use and a battery back-up provision in the event of electricity failure Dr Ajay Kumar informed that the laboratory scale model had a capacity of carrying one liter dis-penser but keeping in mind the very objective of deploying the said dispenser at public places for mass consumption the sanitizer carrying capacity was increased to five litres while developing the proto type. The cost of the proto type was Rupees 2000/= and could be further reduced in commercial production. This kind of contactless sanitizer dispensing unit will be extremely useful for establishments as they begin the unlocking operations in in the coming days. The beneficiaries could include Offices, Res-taurants, Banks, Shopping complexes, Residential Complexes Educational Institutes etc. Incubation Centre in UPES will shortly be establishing interface with Industry to scout for partners to take up commercial production of the “Intelligent Sanitizer Dispenser”.

An Automated Sanitization and Screening System for Public Transport
Team of researchers from UPES, including two students and faculty members, designed an auto-
mated detection, sanitization and screening system for fighting COVID-19 in public transport. The de-
sign system is proposed to be installed at the doorway of buses, to facilitate easy screening and sanitiza-
tion of individuals boarding them.
Sanitization of public transport is a cause of major concern for governments in these COVID-
ridden times. In a bid to facilitate sanitization post the lockdown period, researchers at UPES are endeav-
oring to come up with a solution that can facilitate easy screening and sanitization of individuals entering
the public transport. The researchers comprise Faculty of the Department of Mechanical Engineering,
including Geetanjali Raghav, Suraj Meshram, Nilanjan Bharadwaj and a student of B.Tech Mechatronics
Engineering Udayveer Mittal.
Geetanjali, talking about the uniqueness of the project, says, “It can be integrated with the exist-
ing transport system to sanitize with zero manual contact.” The project is in prototype phase and will be
filing for patent shortly. She
further adds, “We will develop a
prototype and apply for patent,
and once developed, we also
plan on proposing this project
to the state and national gov-
ernments for implementation in
local transport system as this is
the need of hour during lock-
down and post the COVID cri-
sis too.”
The proposed system
will consist of three sub-
systems, namely a camera to
perform object recognition to
ensure the person is wearing a
mask, an infra-red camera/ tem-
perature gun to do temperature
screening of the individual and a set of high-pressure sprays coupled with proximity sensors to detect
and sanitize the individual. Says Nilanjan, “These systems working together will ensure complete safety
of all people inside the bus. Entry will be denied to those individuals who are either not wearing a mask
or have a high temperature.”
The key objective of the project is to ensure that public transport can be resumed with limited
capacity using this system. B.Tech Mechatronics engineering students utilized their knowledge in mak-
ing this system automatic, along with mechanical components. Udayveer, who was a part of this research
team, elucidates, “As a person steps into the transport system, sensors located along the door will detect
his presence and will provide a signal to the sanitizing system to operate. Thereby, the person will be
exposed to sanitizer from top to bottom with the help of high-pressure nozzles. By this time, the movable
system attached to the doors will detect the presence of mask. If not found, a buzzer will go off to indi-
cate breach.”
The key objective of the project is to ensure that public transport can be resumed with limited
capacity using this system. It also seeks to ensure minimum risk to the people commuting through public
transport.

Milestone Achievers
Dr. Shyam Pandey (Professor –Mechanical Engg. Department) has been shortlisted by MHRD as a Margadarshak. The ministry had evalu-ated 942 faculty members of top engineering schools, including the Indian Institutes of Technology and the National Institutes of Tech-nology, before shortlisting 296 professors for mentoring lesser-known institutions to help improve the standard of their curriculum. The Mar-gadarshaks would assist in training the teachers, Outcome Based Educa-tion (OBE), improving the pedagogy, focus on technical skills, life skills, innovation and creating capacity to solve problems among students, de-veloping better teaching learning, and assessment, including practicals. Co-curricular and extra-curricular components are also an integral part of the overall responsibility of Margadarshaks. In OBE, designing Pro-
gramme Outcomes (POs) for a programme and Course Outcomes (COs) for each course will also be re-quired to be done.
Dr. Ajay Kumar has been nominated as expert member of ASPIRE (Automotive Solutions Portal for Industry Research & Education). AS-PIRE his technology platform will facilitate the Indian auto industry (including OEMs, Tier 1 Tier 2 & Tier 3 companies), R&D institutions and academia (colleges & universities) to come together for R&D, tech-nology development, shop floor/ quality/ warranty issue's resolution, expert opinions etc. on issues involving technology advancements. The e-portal will act as one stop solution. Department of Heavy Industry (DHI), Govt. of India, has taken this initiative to promote innovation and to develop the related eco-system. To facilitate this initiative, DHI, through organizations under its aegis, is creating technology platforms for various sectors. In line with the recommendation by DHI, Interna-tional Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) has launched its e-Portal, named “ASPIRE”( Automo-bile Solutions Portal for Industry, Research & Education). The key objective of this initiative is “To en-hance the technological capability of Indian automotive sector through exchange of knowledge & exper-tise, in order to make them self reliant and to facilitate the growth of automobile sector and overall socio-economic progress of the country”.
In the continuation of such a great achievement Dr. Ajay has grabbed one more feather on cap, he has been nominated by Vice Chancellor as a member of the Academic Council under the head of “Professor other than the Deans by rotation in order of seniority” for the residual period i.e. September 24, 2020 till August 31, 2021. The Academic Council is the principal academic body with powers to coor-dinate and exercise general supervision over the academic policies of the University.
Under the able leadership of Dr. S. J. Chopra, Chancellor of UPES, a team of UPES faculty members including Dr. Pankaj Kumar Sharma, Professor and Associate Dean, Academic Planning and Monitor-ing, developed and patented the Neelam Multifuel Burning stove, an innovative new stove that promotes green energy while providing more efficiency, and less CO emissions than an average stove. It operates in 4 modes - pure biomass, pure biogas, pure LPG, and a combination mode. Special thought has been
given to make the device economical and accessible to the masses. Neelam Multifuel Burning Stove operates with four different modes i.e. purely biomass mode, purely bio-gas mode, purely LPG mode and a com-bined mode of biomass and either LPG or biogas. Depending on the availability of fuel, this stove has the flexibility of fuel se-lection. The Neelam Multifuel Stoves are structured with two combustion chambers , i.e., an upper combustion chamber
15
and a lower combustion chamber wherein the upper combustion chamber is positioned over the lower combustion chamber. These stoves are designed with the provision of producing heat out of the solid fuels within the lower combustion chamber whereas the upper combustion chamber is equipped with a removable hybrid burner kit to supply gaseous fuels to a cooking vessel. The hybrid burner kit is also provided with control mechanism to control the flow of gaseous fuels to the upper combustion chamber and subsequently to the cooking vessel. Additionally, the stoves designed according to the present sub-ject matter reduce the amount of carbon monoxide produced during combustion by 85% to lO0% (when measured from a cold start). Also, the reduction in amount of carbon monoxide consequently raises the combustion temperature of the stoves, thereby increasing the efficiency of the multifuel stoves. Further-more, this stove is low-cost, user-friendly and extremely efficient and can be used in both rural as well as urban households.

LAMBORGHINI Cars were a result of a Tractor Company Owner being insulted by the founder of FERRARI
Ferruccio famously owned a Ferrari 250GT, which he took in to be serviced at the Maranello headquarters after realizing that the clutch was identical to the one being used on his produc-tion line. He politely asked Enzo Ferrari for a replacement part, who replied "You're just a silly tractor manufacturer, how could you possibly know anything about sports cars?" Like any red blooded Italian, he spit on the floor, walked out and started designing his own sports car. Four months later he unveiled the Lamborghini 350GTV. Boss
