A review: Rocker Arm

Rocker arm is part of the valve actuating mechanism. It is responsible for the opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves. Rocker arms are typically in between the pushrod and intake and exhaust valves. They allow the push rods to push up on the rocker arm and push down on the valves. Over the years of rocker arm have been optimized in its designed and material for better performance durability, toughness, high dimensional stability, wear resistance, strength as well as economic factors are the reasons for optimization of rocker arm. This paper review types of rocker arm based on published sources in order to understand rocker arm for its problem identification and further optimization. This paper present what is rocker arm? Where it is used, history related to rocker arm, reason of failure of rocker arm are also discussed in this paper.

Analytic continuation of Riemann zeta function

In this paper, we present Riemann zeta function and its analytic continuation and functional equation. We will begin with the Gamma function and some properties of the Gamma function. Then we prove that the Riemann zeta function can be represented by Euler’s product. We will present proof of analytic continuation of the zeta function using Gamma function. Also, we define a Jacobi Theta function and Xi function with the proof of its functional equation and then it will be used to prove the analytic continuation of zeta function as well as its functional equation.

Path planning and obstacle detection for blind people

In these rapidly expanding economies that evolve at a seeming pace, visually challenged have done the most of it in achieving formidable outcomes. However, limitations in mobility is a vital concern to be addressed for people with visual disability. Today’s demographic scenario reveals that visually impaired count for about 1% of the gross, and 10% of whom is totally blind leading to the urgency in the invention of a real problem-solving system for the impaired. Numerous devices already subsist for the need for global navigation like GPS systems, but these do not aid for the cause of local navigation, local path organizing, and crash avoidance. The key purpose behind this project is to design an electronic travel aid which consists of a wearable tool that serves the sightless to engineer their local navigation jobs. It includes a sensory system that is under the control of the user. The primary data necessary for local navigation is map data of the indoor environment which serves as the input to an audio-based navigation system that coverts this data into audio command guiding the person to navigate to a particular location. In addition to these navigation procedures, IR sensors and ultrasonic sensors are planted in for the obstacle detection on the sides and in front respectively for collision avoidance. The output from these sensor modules is fed into an Arduino microcontroller, which grabs all the output from these sensors for further processing and ending up in generating a voice output accordingly. Local navigation and collision avoidance together serve the purpose of mobility for the sightless in indoor environments.

Performance comparison of ANN and template matching on English character recognition

the recognition of handwritten documents, which aims at transforming the written text into machine-encoded text, is considered as one of the most challenging problems in the area of pattern recognition and an open research area. This brings the necessity to make research works on character recognition of the English alphabet not only recognizing measure and evaluate the performance of algorithms we used. A number of algorithms have been proposed for English character recognition such as a support vector machine, hidden Markov model, and neural network. In this research, the design and implementation of a character recognition system for English characters using artificial neural networks and template matching are presented. The complete system employs image acquisition, preprocessing, character segmentation, and classification and recognition. Finally, compare the performance of ANN and template matching algorithms. A data was an MNIST dataset taken from the NIST database. Overall, a recognition of ANN accuracy of 88 percent was obtained and template matching accuracy was 73 percent.

A study of consumer behaviour towards food ordering through mobile apps

Smartphone technology has rehabilitated everything from taxi reservation to food ordering. People, especially the millennial generation, prefer to use high-end mobile apps ordering food from their preferred restaurant. Food is just a tap away, thanks to mobile apps. Many factors have influenced and impacted the reasons for online food ordering service and to name a few, most essentially the convenience factor, loyalty programs, social media and digital menu(customization). With on-demand popular food delivery apps like Swiggy, Food Panda, Zomato, Ubereats, etc., and people can have food delivered at their doorstep without conceding on the quality of food and their hectic schedule. This paper tries to understand the influence of demography of the people espousing to this technology. The impact of demographic factors on online food ordering behavior can be understood in this paper. The study also attempts to understand the intention of the customer to use such apps.

Colon targeted drug delivery system – A novel perspective

New developments have been taking place in the field of colon-specific drug delivery scheme in the latest years. Colonic drug delivery has become increasingly important not only for delivering the drug for the therapy of colon-related indigenous illnesses such as Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, etc. But also to provide protein, therapeutic peptides, anti-asthmatic drugs, medicine and anti-diabetic agents in particular. New colon targeting systems and techniques are created to overcome the constraints of the previous method. Colon targeting has great potential and still wants a lot of creative jobs. This review describes the implementation of colon, wishes, and approaches to the delivery of colonic drugs, the problem of colonic transformation, colonic diseases and thus the new and growing techniques.
