Detailed explanation-1: -IIT Ropar develops first-of-its-kind Oxygen rationing device – AMLEX.

Detailed explanation-2: -“AMLEX” an oxygen rationing device, the first of its kind in India, have been developed by researchers from Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar. This device can reduce oxygen wastage by regulating the oxygen flow from the cylinder by a patient.

Detailed explanation-3: -Q. What is ‘AMLEX’, recently developed by the Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar? Notes: The Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar has developed a first-of-its-kind Oxygen Rationing Device, named AMLEX.

Detailed explanation-4: -AMLEX is a system developed specifically for oxygen cylinders. It synchronises the flow of oxygen with inhalation and exhalation of a patient.

Detailed explanation-5: -“AMLEX”, on the other hand, was a system developed specifically for oxygen cylinders synchronising the flow of oxygen with inhalation and exhalation of the patient, thus conserving a large amount of oxygen in the reservoir for a long-lasting operation.
