As part of the initiative, GE Appliances employees assembled five concentrators with training from T-Works.
Five oxygen concentrators designed and developed by T-Works and assembled by a small group of employees of Haier firm GE Appliances are ready to be donated to those in need.
The oxygen concentrators can consistently deliver 90% oxygen concentration at 5 litres per minute. A synthetic chemical substance called zeolite selectively adsorbs nitrogen from the air under the right conditions. The device uses a process called Pressure Swing Absorption to output oxygen-rich air, T-Works said in a release on Friday.
It said the devices were designed and developed with support from a wide network of vendors and suppliers. As part of the initiative, GE Appliances employees assembled five concentrators with training from T-Works. Some of the technical challenges that were overcome include handling and packing zeolite, protecting it from moisture, thermal management and reduction of noise and vibration.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
