The programme of solar cookers has met with a limited success. The initiatives have largely been in from of the national level rural and renewable energy programmes. Dissemination of this technology option in India needs to be investigated. Techno-economic, socio-cultural and commercial assessment of the solar cookers identified through a survey is presented to understand the existing dissemination framework. An integrated approach of total usefulness as primary consideration with technical soundness, economic viability, social acceptability, behavioral compatibility and commercial utility as secondary considerations for total usefulness is presented. The study highlights awareness, product features, sales and support network as major barriers to dissemination.

The Fresnel Paraboloid Solar Concentrator with a Point Focus having non-imaging optics was developed, designed, fabricated & tested from March to May 2003 at Pune, India for medium temperatures (80 to 300°C) suitable for thermal applications in industry. The system with 29 m² aperture area and concentration ratio of 40 was found to have an optical efficiency of 68% and collector heat loss factor of 1.5 W/m²/K. The cost of the system was in the range of Rs.7000 to Rs.8000 per m² of aperture area. System with aperture area of 194 m² has payback period of 3 to 4 years depending on the fuel saved.

An optimal use of Bangla keyboard, in which the characters according to the collected frequency are distributed equally on both hands considering the movement of fingers has been presented. Although Bangla alphabet has a large number of complex dimensional letters, it will maximize the speed of operation as they can type with the fingers of both hand parallel. It has been established here the table of mono-, dia-and tri-grams of frequent characters mainly with respect to the news of daily newspapers. From the simulated data of characters some Bangla keyboard layouts, which are more scientific and efficient dut ot typing speed than the traditional keyboard layout available in the market has been proposed.

Describes development of an optoelectronics system, which involves the use of ultra-bright yellow LED (λ,583nm) as light source BPW21 photodiode (relative spectral sensitivity, <60>90 %, 500-600nm) is used as detector for measurement of formaldehyde concentration. The system is based on the reaction of formaldehyde with chromotropic acid in acidic medium. Violet colour, produced after the reaction, is used to measure the concentration (0.5-10±0.02 ppm) in water.

J scient ind Res 2004, 63(12), 992-6.

A new scheme for making a simple, compact and cost-effective two-beam optical interferometer using a commercially available diffraction grating and a single plate holographic optical element is described. The procedure for the generation of holographic optical element using a diffraction grating and the related techniques to realize the proposed interferometer along with typical experimental results has been presented. The proposed interferometer is simple, works well with a single collimated beam, and is quite suitable for performing optical test studies on phase (transparent) objects in real-time.

A simple and cost effective two-step method for making security holograms, which are readable with an encoded key hologram, has been presented. These security holograms contain an additional security feature which can be read only by using an encoded key hologram in reading process. In the final reading process, the sharp focus spor emerges only when the security hologram is illuminated by the decoding, reconstructing beam generated from the encoded key hologram. Since the veriication/identification pattern in these holograms is a sharp focus spot rather than an image pattern, this type of security holograms are suitable for both visual as well as machine inspection. They can also be used as security codes for better protection against counterfeiting in the embossed holograms. Experimental results achieved have been discussed.
