Automotive mechanisms
A gearbox slope-lock concept to prevent backward vehicle movement, and an integrated accelerator–brake pedal system.

TGinvents.com — ideas from older patent applications ↗
Ideas from my older patent applications, documented in my personal collection of inventions and product concepts.
These personal projects span energy conversion, automotive mechanisms, signal processing and electrical accessories. TGinvents records the concepts and technical explanations behind those applications.
Inventions / Product Ideas
Inventing has been a personal pursuit since before I entered ERP consulting. I develop ideas from an initial technical principle into drawings, explanations and, where possible, prototypes or software.
Energy & signal systems
Direct energy conversion using electromagnetic waves, modulation-aided magnetic recording, variable-intensity optical transceivers and dual-mode amplitude modulation.
Electrical & digital concepts
A screwless spring-contact terminal and image/document tamper-evidence concepts developed through a software proof of concept.
Several independent concepts led to provisional patent applications. These applications did not become granted patents.
Technical publication & the move into research
My article, “Direct Energy Conversion from Hydrocarbon Fuels Using Electromagnetic Waves,” appeared in KPIT’s TechTalk technology magazine. It described an independent concept for which I had filed a provisional patent application before joining KPIT.
Following publication, the Chief Technology Officer invited me to join CREST — the Center for Research in Engineering, Science and Technology — KPIT’s corporate research division.
Desktop power optimisation prototype
At CREST, I independently led a prototype combining hardware and software changes to reduce desktop PC energy use.
- Evaluated CPU underclocking, display optimisation and hardware changes.
- Designed an LED backlight replacement and software to illuminate only the active display area.
- Built a retrofit relay-based device to address post-shutdown leakage power.
- Reduced operating power consumption by approximately 26% on the sample PC, and total weekly energy consumption by approximately 45%, including the post-shutdown savings.
These results relate to the sample prototype system.
Other research & engineering contributions
Power management application · HCL
Contributed to a no-load power-control concept that led to a patent application filed through HCL Technologies in 2016.
TechXpedition 2010 · KPIT
One of my technical proposals was selected among the top two and presented to senior management as a business case.
Engineering projects · KPIT
Guided an organisation-sponsored student drone project and contributed to an automotive energy-conversion research initiative.
Software products
I also develop Windows applications for file management, clipboard history, colour tools and other practical needs. These are presented separately in the software portfolio.
