Bus detection for blind people using RF transceiver

This paper presents a bus detection system using RF MODULE technology that aims to ease the traveling and movement of blind people. The proposed system consists of two detection subsystems, one on the buses and the other on the bus stations, database system. In the bus detection subsystem, the nearby stations will be easily detected and then announced through a voice message inside the bus. Moreover, any existing blind person in the surrounding area of the station will be detected by the bus subsystem to alert the bus driver about the number of blind persons. In the bus station subsystem, the coming buses will be detected and then announced in the station in order to alert the blind people. A complete system prototype has been constructed and tested to validate the proposed system. The archived results show that the system performance is promising in terms of system functionality, safety, and cost.

Review Paper

Food adulteration prediction using data mining algorithms

Major food adulteration and contamination events seem to occur with some regularity, such as the widely publicized adulteration of milk products with melamine.With globalization and rapid distribution systems, these can have international impacts with far-reaching and sometimes lethal consequences. These events, though potentially global in the modern era, are in fact far from contemporary, and deliberate adulteration of food products is probably as old as the food processing and production systems themselves. This review first introduces some background into these practices, both historically and contemporary, before introducing a range of the technologies currently available for the detection of food adulteration and contamination. These methods include the vibrational spectroscopies: near-infrared, mid-infrared etc. This subject area is particularly relevant at this time, as it not only concerns the continuous engagement with food adulterers, but also more recent issues such as food security, bioterrorism, and climate change. It is hoped that this introductory overview acts as a springboard for researchers in science, technology, engineering, and industry, in this era of systems-level thinking and interdisciplinary approaches to new and contemporary problems. In food safety and regulation, there is a need for a system to be able to make predictions on which adulterants are likely to appear in which food products. The aim is to identify the minimum detectable limit for the adulterants in milk. There are many adulterants that are added to milk including water, flour, starch and even urea in quantitative measures making it undetectable. MATLAB was used to write the algorithm code.

An approach to develop a smart and intelligent wheelchair

We live in a world, where the technology is growing to the next level every day. But it is very strange to see paralyzed people depending on someone's help for there mobility. In this project, we have developed a smart wheelchair which helps the completely paralyzed patient to move on their own. This is achieved by the voice control method by using an android application connected to the accelerometer. Another method is a hand gesture control method. In this method, we use the flex sensor to control the motion of the wheelchair. Hand gesture control can be used only by partially paralyzed patients. The Android-based voice control through the Bluetooth has been designed in the motor, the motor is controlled by the predesigned embedded C software.

Particulate emission control and direct carbon dioxide capture

The atmosphere is one of the valuable resources which needs to be protected for future generation. It’s being increasingly polluted every year. In the past 10 years the air in the many regions of our country such as Delhi, Mumbai is seriously polluted. Due to modernization and development, the use of automobiles was increased which emit harmful exhaust toxic gases with particulate emission. The level of CO2 content in the atmosphere was increased up to 410 ppm. In the meantime, CO2 is also the raw products for many industries such as food processing industries, Pharmaceutical industries, fire extinguishers etc. We have conducted experiments to capture carbon dioxide from direct air. This process is carried out using a carbon absorbent solution made to react with atmospheric air in the reaction chamber in which carbon dioxide present in the air directly captured in the absorbent solution. Air is constituents of various gases. Here we discussed in capturing the carbon from the air. Direct air capture is leading technology to capture CO2 from the air. Here various concentrations of solutions are made to effective capture of carbon dioxide. In addition, Electrostatic precipitator is implemented to control the particulate emission. It holds the small micro dust particles up to 2.5 PM. The operation performs in controlling particulate and capturing carbon dioxide from the air.

Women protection system using microcontroller and Android application

Women Protection System aims at helping women from any type of physical attack. A Conductive Belt having magnetic circuit is used which will prevent any kind of attack from occurring. A mobile application is to be implemented that informs the user-defined numbers about the emergency alert and location of the use. This application can be accessed automatically as well as manually. The microcontroller is used to achieve this purpose. The connectivity between the microcontroller and the mobile is maintained through the Bluetooth modem. At the same time, women are facing problems like kidnapping, harassment, molestation etc. The women security issue has become most important. The women security system has considered for providing a solution to different problems. The important part of the system is the prevention of incident & communication through a wireless medium. A security system in which prevention will be the highest event & communication is the second event.

Performance analysis of Vortex tube refrigeration system

This paper represents the experimentation of the Vortex Tube Refrigeration system. Vortex tube also known as Ranque-Hilsch Vortex tube. A Vortex Tube is a Mechanical Device, which generates cold and hot streams from a single injection of pressurized gas. Without any moving parts or chemical reaction within the tube, the intersecting phenomenon of energy separation results only from fluid dynamic effects. The Control valve is a screw located at the hot end and cold end with thread on it which is used to restrict the flow of air due to which the small forced vortex takes place after stagnation point and free vortex get away through the hot end as hot air and cold end as cold air. At the other end small orifice plate is located to further reduce the temperature Drop. The 2.5 HP compressor is used for experimentation for low pressures. Also, for higher pressures it is difficult with a low capacity compressor to get the accurate results. For this purpose, a model has been developed using experimental data to predict the results for the pressure range of 1to 6 bar. We have attached Thermo-electric module to system to generate electricity without affecting the efficiency of the system.
