India's weapon against Malaria : Invented

HANGING MOSQUITO NET WAS NEVER SO EASY !

Greetings from SAM BED NET.
Malaria is the number one killer in Africa and to combat the disease, many development agencies have focused on distributing mosquito nets that would protect Africans from being bitten while they sleep. This strategy has resulted in a huge upsurge in the number of bed nets supplied to the population as a whole and particularly to pregnant women and young children. The widespread distribution, however, has not resulted in a significant decrease in malaria. There are valuable debates on the reasons . Before delving into behavioral economics, though, it might be useful to consider a more basic problem: the mosquito nets are poorly designed.
The bed nets distributed by governments and international organizations have one of two basic designs: circular or rectangular. The circular design hangs from the ceiling by one string, with the net fanning out from a ring at the top and tucked tightly under the mattress on all sides. The rectangular design ties to the ceiling with four strings and hangs straight down on all sides of the bed, with the fringes again tucked under the mattress. Both designs work well for middle-class homes with flat ceilings and a bed for every member of the family. But most of the poor in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in rural areas, live in mud huts, often with thatched roofs.
Hanging mosquito nets is very difficult in these homes, and most people prefer the circular nets because they are easier to hang. Although the rectangular nets can be used without a bed, the circular nets cannot, because they have to be tucked under the mattress to fan out. In many African communities, most children younger than five sleep on the floor, so only the rectangular nets would be effective. But the rectangular nets take up quite a bit of room in a mud hut and have to be taken down and rehung every night for the hut to be of use during the day. Given the difficulty of hanging the nets, it is unreasonable to expect people to follow this routine.
An improved mosquito net was necessary to be invented if progress was to be made in combating malaria effectively.

Mumbai jewel designer steals my LCN (Live Creature Necklace) Invention …

In a brutal attack on Intellectual property rights in india.
A wealthy jeweler of Mumbai " Mr. Laksh Pahuja " has cleanly stolen the invention of an NRI inventor Mr.Arshad Mohsin and has been displaying it live on air at Star news and other media outlets claiming it to be his creation
With various newspaper interviews and covers stories in Hindustan times , Times of India and other local dailies ,the inventions of Mr.Arshad Mohsin had been widely discussed in the media in Bihar some eleven years ago in the year 1996 , the Living Creature Necklace (LCN) was one such invention which Mr.Mohisn had applied for Patent in the Mumbai Patent commissioner's office in the month of August 1996. Mr.Mohsin had since left India for his Job as an IT director in Kuwait. Today the helpless NRI is watching Mumbai media with shock and dismay at what's happening on the news channels and print media.
The stolen invention is gracefully being showcased by the robbers and there is no one to object. Do we have a right to fight for our rights ? Or should we continue to silently watch the victimization. Mr.Mohsin is the real son of soil , he has made up his mind to fight till his last breath. we deserve justice at least in our own mother land , says Arshad Mohsin popularly known as SAM among his disciples.

And here is the stolen version of the invention published in the Times of India online 5th sept 2007-09-06
A fishy thingy around your neck! 30 Aug 2007, 0018 hrs IST,RAUL DIAS ,TNN
The fashion world is a mad, often bizarre place, where in the name of
creativity almost anything is acceptable. But how about a necklace
that houses within its acrylic heart a shoal of live fighter fish that
swim merrily around while you flaunt this mini aquarium at your next
cocktail soirée? Yes, topping the list of eccentric, yet supremely imaginative creations
is a one-of-a-kind necklace by jewellery designer Laksh Pahuja that is
made from 18K gold, diamonds, rubies, Tahiti pearls and acrylic.
“I have always wanted to do something different and a necklace that
had live fish was something my ever-fertile imagination came up with
one fine day,” says Laksh, who’s rather kooky necklace costs a not-
so-kooky Rs 25 lakh... oh, and that includes the cost of the fish! No wonder then that Laksh has made just one piece and has no plans to make any more. “There is no way I can make another one. It was too much effort. In fact, I want to enter this piece in the Guinness Book of World Records,” says an optimistic Laksh. Taking four years to conceptualise and three to craft, the inspiration to make this oddity came to Laksh when he was on a deep sea diving trip at Lakshadweep Islands. “It was there that I got the idea of putting rubies and diamonds — not just on the sides of the necklace, but also within the acrylic cavity to mimic the sand and coral. In fact, the lower part of the necklace is in the shape of the southern tip of India,” elaborates Laksh. But before we have any animal... err, we mean fish rights activists up in arms, Laksh is quick to point out that “No fish were harmed during the making of the necklace”. But how does he ensure the well-being of the ‘live jewellery’ once the necklace is worn? “I did research on the type of fish that would be able to brave the wear and tear,” explains Laksh. “So I decided to use fighter fish that can safely swim in the necklace for 48 hours without oxygen. But still as a backup plan I have put in two air vents into the sides of the necklace. Once you are done wearing the necklace the fish can be released from the back compartment of the necklace into a normal aquarium.” Now that’s what we call indulging in some pretty fishy business! What say?
Common India : We have a right to fight !
Mr.Arshad mohsin Strongly appeals the people of India to fight for the protection of their civil , political and intellectual property rights. And he also appeals to the government of India to come up with strong plans for the protection of the rights of its inventors all over the country.
