Covid 19: finding oxygen concentrators in India

Geet Sehgal — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 01:29:44 +0000

Reading this latest post by @sanucoder about how it was able to create a covid tracker to keep people wary made me realise that I should myself let others fo d our how they can find oxygen concentrators in India. This is because right now there is a shortage of oxygen in parts of India still struggling tirelessly with Covid syndrom and cases. Below are the list of webiste a where anyone can find, rent or buy portable oxygen concentrators in India.

5 ways to buy oxygen concentrators in India

Oxygen concentrators are medical equipment that accumulate the already present oxygen in the air and serve it to you in oxygen containers. The process is called concentration (ref.). As you can find out, air around us contain ~21% oxygen which you breath but with the help of these concentrators you can get 90-95% pure oxygen into containers. This saves on the transportation cost and other such issue in logistics.

In the latest reports available we have come to find out about the adverse effects of Covid hitting larger regions in Kolkata and West Bengal (ref.) so it has become much more necessary to make this equipment available to those in need at the earliest and the logistics in our country as you already know can be a big problem (ref.) regardless of system or Modi government. (We don't see the difference, frankly!)

Medinza (www.medinza.com)

The company has two separate models listed from the same brand and you can enquire about the products from them but based on what’s available on the site it’s hard to make any firm comment. However, the contact us email is verified for enquiries.

Sanraimed.com (www.sanraimed.com)

The company is a distributor for some medical equipment manufacturers globally. The company has a number of product models available. The website contact form is not functioning properly and there was no way to contact them apart from the contact details available below.

Mr. Amanpreet Rai: info@sanraimed.com

Apollo Home Care (www.apollohomecare.com)

At the moment the company website has three products listed on it with different photographs but little to no information is available about the specifications or the brand. As it turns out their contact form is not working and there is no direct or indirect method of contacting them in the enquiry section. The best recourse would be to contact them via landline number (International Number!) +8125008585

To connect with them from the email listed in the contact us section reach@apollohomecare.com

Homeland HealthCare ( www.homelandhealthcare.in )

The company website has listed both stationary and portable oxygen concentrators available for rent. The company is working from a whatsapp number at +91 98993 05644
And the contact form is up for enquiries. You can contact them without an issue from their website itself. The website does not have any model numbers mentioned for purchasing portable oxygen concentrators but for stationary models you can reach them via WhatsApp only. Below I have listed down a number of suggested models for you to enquire which are recommended by practitioners.

CareOxy (www.careoxy.com)

The company has not listed any models or products on their website but the website provides the contact details for enquiry. The contact number available: +91 97738 38272

There is not an email ID available to contact them for oxygen concentrators. The links are not active on the website for oxygen concentrators but are available for other medical equipment.

Some other oxygen concentrator providers in Delhi, India:

1mg (www.1mg.com)

HealthGinnie (www.healthgennie.com)

ColMed (www.colmed.in)

Oximedical (www.oximedical.com)

Suggested Models of oxygen concentrators to buy or rent in India
OCM T51, OCM T25, Oxlife Portable OC, Inogen G3, Life Plus OC, Nidek Nuvolite

It's possible that due to the demand and the lack of resources we are experiencing some of the medical equipment suppliers might not be able to respond to you in time. The situation has made a derogatory state of affairs all around us and we blaming the system or Modi Government isn't taking us anywhere. That being said, the masks have muted more than they have saved.

Another one of brain pickings

I am learning to create a 2D game on html game canvas and I reached to the point where I am able to get some motion from a few elements. Yay!
But now that I have that working, I was wondering if it will be possible to host the html file on a dedicated website with a button called "play"
If a user find the button Nd clicks on it, he gets to another page on the browser to play this game.
I have tried to upload the file but everytime I open it I can only see the code not it's execution.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions! :)

Need suggestions in creating a JavaScript

I want to work with two Google sheets at once. I have a row of data from cell B2 to G2. Everytime I open the sheet, I add another row under this one. I want to write a script to copy cell B2 to cell C4 of another sheet (let's call anothe sheet as sheet2). Similarly, for cell C2 to Cell D4 of sheet2 and so on.
I want all the cells till G2 to be copied to desired cells in sheet2 with the help of this script mapped to a button.I want the script to reset once the contents are pasted in sheet2 such that the counter sets to B3 now.

Furthermore, I want a script in a button to clear the contents of the desired cells by clicking once.

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks

Error while Launching activity!

Background:

I had created a rendition to the "Hello world!" app on android studio 4.0 working with Java. The build was successful and I have the .apk file available with me. However, I am unable to get it to work on the emulated device.

Running device: Pixel 2, API 27

Inspection:

Uploaded the .apk on the emulated device and installed it.
Wrote an ASO for the App, just saying!
Tried to upload the .apk on an older device, device faulty!

Note: The .apk is a debug APK file and I haven't the difference between that and the standard.

Sharing their calendars!

I have often wondered on the reason behind having a sharable calendar link in any calendar app!

I always thought it's because you have have the capability to share the calendar with another person or team member and they'd know what's what!

I have always found this extremely pressing when talking about something to that effect with someone in any firm/organisation. Everyone wants to feel important, nobody want's to talk about work or at least it seems that way. I have found it to be the case in all the firms and organisations I have worked in the past. It takes a toll on a person who kind of likes a cut out slot in each day for work to be assigned/allocated/tagged whatever. The thing is that it's monotonous, yes! It's not fun, I agree!

I think a work around to an issue like this can be to have some variable time adjusted to each slot each day depending on a few factors like, did you take a shower or did you eat a healthy meal.

Just thinking out loud, I don't know if there are any rules around that, not anymore anyway!

Is the constraint layout not available in the latest android studio version ?

Geet Sehgal — Thu, 11 Jun 2020 02:03:47 +0000

I have downloaded the latest android studio 4.0 and I am unable to find the constraint layout in the SDK manager. Is it merged with another package now ?

Going a different direction, I tried adding the layout with the help of this tutorial: https://developer.android.com/training/constraint-layout

I had a 7s error, I'll have to see it again if I have maven repo declared!

If So, I have the following packages installed, I just need a tick on this,

Packages Installed:

SDK build tools 30
Android Emulator
Android SDK Platform Tools
Google play services
Google web driver
HAXM installer

many thanks.

Note: I didn't know there is a 90 min delay between posting two questions on some of these much sought after forums.
