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.

Bengaluru, Nov 1: ISRO on Friday said its analogue space mission has taken off at Leh in Ladakh, where it will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat as India prepares to send a human to the moon.

The initiative is a collaborative effort of the Human Spaceflight Centre, ISRO, AAKA Space Studio, University of Ladakh, IIT Bombay, and supported by Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council.

The month-long mission, kicked off mid-October, comes in the wake of India's plans to set up lunar habitats, which could provide a base to launch inter-planetary missions.

The geographical features of Ladakh are considered to closely resemble Martian and lunar landscapes and are an ideal training ground for scientific missions aimed at exploring planets "India's first analog space mission kicks off in Leh...this mission will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat to tackle the challenges of a base station beyond Earth," ISRO said in a post on X.

The team of AAKA Space Studio is testing environment suits and conducting geological studies in Leh's low-oxygen environment, simulating space-like conditions, studies that could be crucial for future space missions.

The team is also studying how the human body adapts to the harsh weather conditions in Ladakh that could be useful in understanding how astronauts could get used to space like conditions.
