Helmet That alerts your one's

The Techmet, a helmet that will inform the wearer's family as well as the emergency services in case the former is involved in an
accident and also give the location of the mishap site, is one of the products made by the students of Indian Instiute of Technology-Madras to be showcased at Shaastra. The 11th edition of the institute's technical festival, to be flagged off on Wednesday, will focus on sustainable development.

There will be an energy audit done during the four-day event.

Speakers include urban strategy magaer of World Bank Abha Joshi Ghani, chairman of the Centre for Policy Research K C Sivaramakrishnan and associate director of Teri Akansha Chaurey.

The festival will also feature a summit where aspiring entrepreneurs get a chance to interact with founders of start-ups. Other highlights include an air show, a choreographed and professional aerobatics show by technical artistes and their extreme machines; spirit of engineering projects including a process to create a eco-friendly fuel from algae called Algiesel and Touch Talk, which aims to provide a fast and easy way of communication for the speech-impaired.

Google's Real Time Search Option Found

If you are a Twitter user, you might be aware of the buggy but extremely useful "real time search" that helps you keep tab of events by the second. Ever wondered how it would be if Google offered this option?Now, if you perform a Google search, you already get detailed options to customize your search to display results that were quite recent. It was in May that Google enhanced this "time frame limited" search options. However, even with these options, the search was hardly real time - partly because the search option only had the option to display results from Any time, Past year, Past week, Recent results and Past 24 hours. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, even "Past 24 hours" ain't real time in today's era of Twitter and real time updates. So, if there were some of you who were actually looking forward to Google offering real time search results, guess what? Google actually HAS an option to search real-time. It's just that they aren't telling you this.
