Sahyadri Innovative Hub invents Li-phone which works from LED light
Mangaluru, July 16: A team of young scientists led by Raghava Shetty of RDL Company, sponsored by Sahyadri Innovative Hub, invented a ‘Li-phone’ which works from LED light being used in house.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, RDL Technologies Private Limited Founder Director and CEO Raghavendra G Shetty said that the Li-phone would function using the light waves of the LED bulbs. Li-phone is a simple, but invented from highly modern technology. This is different from other phones available in the market. Normally, the cell phones work through radio frequency waves. But in Li-phone would work from LED light. The phone would convert the voice or other sounds into electric signals which then transmitted through radio frequencies in the wind. The cell phone would receive such radio frequencies and reach them to the listeners. This was called radio frequency medium. The ultraviolet rays emitting from such radio frequencies would be more dangerous as they might cause dreaded diseases like cancer. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has also warned against this development. So, he has got the patent for this invention. Now, this phone was invented under the sponsorship of Sahyadri Innovation Hub and it could be used in houses and offices, he said.
The SIM card being used in mobile phones should be connected to the cellular gateway under the LED light. All calls and messages of your cell phones will appear on the screen of the Li-phone. The users could use all their cell phone works. The processing of special frequencies of LED light would convert radio frequencies into data and pass on to Li-phone. The manufacturers could use this technology in all cell phones like WiFi technology, he said.
Pradeep Kumar, Ramachandra Shetty, Kanval Karkera and others were present at the press conference.

AIMPLB warns of protests, legal battle over Waqf Amendment Bill
Bengaluru: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Monday addressed a press conference following the conclusion of its national convention in Bengaluru. The Board raised concerns over several pressing national and international issues, including the Waqf Amendment Bill, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), and recent controversies surrounding places of worship in the country. The Board also spoke about the ongoing conflict in Gaza, terming it a "genocide."
Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, spokesperson for the AIMPLB, strongly opposed the proposed Waqf Amendment Bill, warning the government of protests and legal challenges if the bill is passed without thorough consultation with all stakeholders.
"Waqf properties are donated specifically for the benefit of the Muslim community and for charitable purposes. These properties cannot and should not be altered or interfered with by the government," he said. Ilyas emphasized the historical and legal sanctity of Waqf properties, stating that any changes to the law without proper discussion would be unacceptable to the community.
The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) was another critical issue discussed during the convention. Ilyas reiterated the Board's long-standing opposition to the UCC, stating that it threatens the pluralistic nature of Indian society.
"The UCC will disrupt the very fabric of this country. India thrives on its diversity, and a uniform code disregards this essential characteristic," he said. He explained that the Indian legal framework already accommodates individuals who choose not to follow their personal laws.
Ilyas also criticized the UCC implemented by the Uttarakhand government, calling it unconstitutional. "How can it be called a 'Uniform Civil Code' when it is applied only in one state?" he questioned. The AIMPLB plans to challenge the Uttarakhand UCC in the Nainital High Court through a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) soon.
The Board also addressed growing tensions surrounding places of worship, particularly the rising claims that some mosques were originally temples. Ilyas pointed out that such disputes are in violation of the Places of Worship Act, 1992, which mandates that the status of religious sites shall remain as they were in 1947.
"The Supreme Court, in its verdict on the Babri Masjid case, clearly stated that no further disputes of this nature should arise. Yet, we see new cases being brought up regularly," he said.
Citing a recent incident in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, where police action against protesters left two dead, Ilyas condemned the violence. "This incident was tragic and could have been avoided. It is deeply condemnable," he added.
The AIMPLB also expressed solidarity with the people of Palestine, highlighting the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Ilyas termed the situation a "genocide," pointing to the reported deaths of over 45,000 people in the last year.
"This is not a war; it is a genocide. The international community must take urgent steps to address the issue," he said. The Board called for a two-state solution as a pathway to peace and justice in the region.
The press conference was attended by several senior AIMPLB officials, including the Board’s president, Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani. The officials emphasized the need for unity among stakeholders and the Muslim community to address the challenges highlighted during the convention.
The AIMPLB pledged to continue its advocacy through protests, legal actions, and public engagement to safeguard the rights of the community and uphold the constitutional values of the country.
