FOREWORD

Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST) was founded in the year 1975 with a view to
utilize the scientific and technical expertise of a large number of Scientists, Technologists and Engineers in the
State to alleviate prevailing poverty, improve the living standards of people and to reduce differentiation through
S & T intervention. Housing, Energy, Environment, Water and Waste Management are some of the sectors that
were identified by KSCST for improved and efficient management through S and T intervention.
Some of the success stories arising from the activities of the Council include: design of novel biogas
plants, solar collectors, solar pond, gasifiers, design of high efficiency cooking stove (ASTRA Ole), setting up of
rural energy centres and innovative use of sisal plant. Recent major initiatives of KSCST for societal benefits
include Rain Water Harvesting, National Spatial Data Infrastructure and Waste Management.
Apart from playing a catalytic role in the implementation of sustainable technologies to society-centric
problems/ issues, KSCST has also been promoting research, development and innovation in universities.
Innovation and technology are needed to transform our nation from reliance on the exploitation of natural
resources to technological innovation as basis for sustainable and all inclusive development. Recognising this
need, KSCST initiated Student Projects Programme, popularly known as SPP as early as 1977. The main
purpose of this programme is to bring out hidden talent and innovative spirit burning in the minds of engineers
graduating from colleges across the State. Under this programme, KSCST has been providing both technical
and financial support to projects undertaken by the final year engineering students of VTU and of other
engineering colleges. All these projects were selected and funded by KSCST after peer review by the faculty of
Indian Institute of Science. After the completion of projects, they were again evaluated by the experts. Thus
KSCST has been playing crucial role in building confidence and enhancing capabilities of engineering graduates
passing out from colleges in the State.
This is the 31
st
SPP Seminar in the series conducted uninterruptedly. We are very pleased that
Adichunchanagiri Institute of Technology, Chikmagalur, an institution with a good reputation, is hosting this
programme. We hope that this Seminar and Exhibition will inspire students to become more innovative and
building innovative society. We thank the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India and
Government of Karnataka for their continued support in the conduct of this programme.

ABOUT KSCST

Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST) was established in 1975 to play a
catalytic role in promoting the application of Science and Technology in developmental processes
of the state in order to benefit a large segment of people. KSCST is the first State Council to be
set up in the country to fulfill the long-felt need of bringing together administrators, field level
officers in various government departments, scientists and technologists in research laboratories
and research institutions. The council has chosen many areas like Energy, Agriculture, Water,
Housing, Health and Education for its activities. The Council has completed several projects in
these areas such as Mid-day Meals for School Children, Lowcost Housing, Solar Energy
Applications, Zoning Atlas, Mapping for use in district administration, Water resources
development, Hand pumps for drinking water wells in villages, etc.
The objectives of the State Council are:
To identify areas for application of Science and Technology to development needs,
objectives and goals for Karnataka, and in particular, to the prevailing conditions of
backwardness, rural unemployment and poverty;
To advise government on the formulation of policies and measures including technical,
administrative and legal devices, which will promote such applications to identified
needs, objectives and goals; in particular to health, education and manpower utilisation
with special emphasis on the development of human skills in the rural areas and in the
slums; and which will promote the scientific management of the natural resources of
the State;
To promote effective coordination and to develop and foster communication and other
links between centres of scientific and technological research, Government agencies,
farms and industries so that promising Research and Development work is initiated,
promoted and effectively deployed in agriculture, in government and elsewhere;
To initiate, support and coordinate applied research programmes in universities and
other institutions in areas identified to be specially suitable for the application of
Science and Technology;
To prepare Science and Technology plans relevant to the development needs of the
State;
To consider, and advise the government on such other matters as relevant to the
application of Science and Technology to the problems of Karnataka State.
The Council has constantly involved several institutions and governmental agencies to identify
research areas of interest in major concerns such as Housing, Energy, Water supply, Ecology and
Environment, Industries and Rural employment. The Council has evolved a methodology of
conducting workshops with participation by leading scientists and administrators and technocrats
to identify problems faced, in the state, in each area and to formulate research projects based on
these identified problems. These problems were given to different research labs for study and to
evolve solutions and these have also been implemented in the fields wherever found suitable.
The Council has undertaken several path breaking programs in the area of Energy. To
name a few, it has setup a rotor windmill for pumping water at Ungra, a community biogas
31
st
15
service unit supplying water and electricity in Pura, Energy Parks in different parts of the state,
Solar water heating systems in several places. It has also set up a 20 KW microhydel station at
Elaneer village in Dakshina Kannada district, which uses a modern technology of cross flow
turbines developed by Indian Institute of Science.
KSCST has assisted the state in district level planning in 27 districts through setting up of
Natural Resources Data Management System (NRDMS) centers in these districts. These centers
use modern scientific tools like Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial data support
system for use in identifying locations with problems like drinking water supply, location of
hospitals, schools, etc. This helps in empowerment of local bodies of governance in optimal use of
resources. KSCST has done lots of experimentation in treatment of municipal solid and liquid
wastes and their recycling. KSCST has participated in the identification of research programmes
in the area of biodiversity. KSCST is involved in identifying the problems and strategies for S&T
inputs in various sectors.
One of the major activities of KSCST has been to improve the quality of education in our
colleges. In view of this, Student Project Programme (SPP) was started during 197879 to
sponsor engineering student projects and this innovative project has been playing a very
important role for last three decades. Many projects deal with technologies for use in applications
very relevant to the State. During the 31st series (2007-2008) of this programme which
commenced in November 2007, a total of 350 projects from 54 engineering colleges were
sponsored by the Council. Since its start in 1978, the Council, under this programme, has
supported nearly 6000 projects.
The success of these activities are mainly due to excellent co-operation which the council
received from different departments of the Government and the scientific community in different
research institutions of Karnataka, particularly Indian Institute of Science. The support and co-
operation of many senior functionaries of the state government like the Chief Minister, Minister
for Science and Technology, Finance Minister, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj
as well as the Chief Secretary, Additional Chief Secretary, Development Commissioner, Finance
Secretary, Science and Technology Secretariat are extremely important in the success of these
activities. The Council has completed 31 years and is looking forward for even more participation
from colleges for improving the performance further.

Introduction
The car gene cluster of the ascomycete Gibberella
fujikuroi encodes two enzymes responsible for
torulene biosynthesis (Car RA and Car B), an opsin
like protein (Car O) and a putative carotenoid
cleaving enzyme (Car X). The expression of the
CarX gene in Escherichia.Coli led to the formation
of the opsin chromophore retinal. In addition to
retinal, retinol and retinoic acid were also found.
The identity of the products was proven by high
performance liquid chromatography and gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry. Subsequent
in-vitro assays with heterologously expressed and
purified CarX confirmed its -carotene cleaving
activity and revealed its capability to produce retinal
from substrates like -carotene, torulene and -apo-
8carotenal.

Introduction
Aerobiology is defined as a discipline of investigation
of aerial transport of biological materials. Pollen grains
and fungal spores and some bacteria are among the
most abundant airborne bioparticles. This increased
awareness has made the study of microorganisms
present in the air important and hence the study of
aerobiology has acquired a prominent place in various
fields of environmental science.
Fungal spores are an important component of the
bioaerosol. There are about 80,000 species, most of
which are cosmopolitan in origin. The biological
features of fungi i.e. their ease of dispersion makes
fungi one of the chief agents of contamination of any
type of substrate including cellulose materials in the
books of library. Many are pathogenic to human
beings causing allergic problems including asthma due
to differential deposition in the respiratory system and
also these fungi along with bacteria are responsible for
the deterioration of the materials in the library.
Objectives
Identification of predominant fungal spores present
in the library.
31
st
Study of qualitative and quantitative (wherever
possible) variations of the fungal spores.
Study of these fungal spores in relation to their
allergenisity on library users.
Methodology
Aeromycoflorall studies were carried out between
February to May at two libraries in Davangere
namely, Bapuji Institute of Engineering and
Technology library and second the Central Library
of Davangere. Leitz microscope with camera
attachment was used for scanning of fungal spores
and photomicrographs were taken using CCD
camera attachment. The culture plates were
exposed for 2-3 hours at different places in the
library. After the exposures, plates were incubated
at 25
0
C for 3-5 days and kept for colony growth.
After few days colonies were observed for number
and distribution of fungal colonies on agar plates
and recorded in the note book for total number of
colonies, species present. For species identification
specimen microscopic slides were prepared using
glycerin gelly as mounting media and lactophenol
cotton blue stains.
Results and conclusions
The results of the 3 months data on aeromycofloral
survey showed that the indoor library atmosphere
was never free of fungal spores. A total of 10 types
of fungal spores were identified up to generic level
and rest all spore types which are not identified
were grouped under unidentified spore types. Air
borne fungal spores recorded were representatives
of the three major groups i.e. Ascomycotina,
Zygomycotina and Deuteromycotina.
On the basis of this study the following conclusions
were made.
1. The indoor environment of Bapuji Institute of
Engineering and Technology library and Central
library of Davangere are rich in fungal spores.
2. The morphological characters of predominant
fungal spores have been studied and
incorporated.
3. Among fungal spores the group
Deuteromycotina formed a dominant part of the
air spora. The dominant airborne fungal spore
types were Aspergillus, Penicillium which
accounted for 40-60% of the total fungal catch
followed by Mucor and Syncephalastrum
species.
4. Respiratory/allergic disorders have been
correlated with the incidence of potential allergy
causing fungal organisms in the library
environment as explained by other workers.
Scope for Future work
Further studies on the occurrence of
actinomycetes in indoor air could bring about
better understanding of their possible role in
occupational related health hazards.
Characterization of fungal allergens responsible
for the induction of seasonal allergic rhinitis and
asthma and to identify the specific IgE/ IgG binding
protein fractions of different fungal allergens will
help in immunotherapeutic procedures.

PRODUCTION FROM HIGH TDS
DISTILLARY SPENT WASH AND
DESIGN OF THE REACTOR FOR
THE PROCESS

Introduction
Spent wash is a byproduct from distilleries after
extraction of alcohol from molasses and is a rich
source of organic matter, N2, P, K, Ca and S. Also,
it contains micronutrients like Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, B etc.
Anaerobic digestion of spent wash results in energy
generation and also pollution reduction. The
existing methods lose lot of energy in the form of
methane and the present work is an attempt to
provide suitable microbes and a process for
biomethanation even with high TDS spent wash.
Objectives
Design of a suitable reactor for methane production
from high TDS spent wash
Materials and Methods
A reactor of 25.41cm diameter and 40cm height
made of 0.3cm thick plate was fabricated. The
volume of the reactor is 20 lit and it was placed in a
jacket of length 25cm and 26.4cm dia. It contained
an agitator of 12cm diameter and 32cm length with
an internal grid spacing of 4cm. Suitable motor was
used as the drive. Distillery spent wash with a pH of
4.0-5.0 and having a BOD of 80,000-90,000 mg/lit
and COD of 120,000-180,000 mg/lit was collected.
To initiate the methane production, cow dung and
sheep manure were used. The experiment set-up
also contains an inverted jar setup to collect the
produced methane gas and an incubator to
maintain constant temperature. The process was
carried-out using slow stirring and at three different
temperatures viz. at 25
o
C; 30
o
C and 37
o
C and the
results were tabulated.
Conclusions
Spent wash treatment by way of biomethanation is
found to be more beneficial from energy
consideration and also pollution reduction. The
spent wash treated by this method can also be
sprayed on mud to get press mud, which can be a
fertilizer.

4. CHEMICAL AND ANTIOXIDANT
PROPERTIES OF INDIAN WINE

Introduction
Wines have been used for health reasons since
ancient times. Of late, there has been a spate of
reports emanating from the medical community citing
wine's effects upon health based on the presence of
those components other than alcohol.
Free radicals and oxidative stress are known to cause
a wide range of ill effects and diseases and their
prevention is known to ameliorate the effect. Free
radicals are highly reactive species produced in the
body during normal metabolic functions or introduced
from the environment (xenobiotics compounds, diesel
exhaust, tobacco smoke, radiation etc). Free radicals
and oxidants can trigger lipid peroxidation, as well as
the oxidation of proteins and DNA. All these events
cause extensive damage to body cells and play an
important role in many pathological states. In fact, it is
believed to play a role in more than sixty different
health conditions, including cancer, atherosclerosis,
neurodegeneration, inflammation and aging process.
The antioxidants in wine and grape juice favorably
modulate the blood clotting that climaxes heart attacks
and strokes; they help further by relaxing blood
vessels and inhibiting the oxidation of LDL (the "bad")
cholesterol to its dangerous form. Second in
importance to their cardiovascular benefits are wine's
antioxidant actions against cancer.
Objective
Present work focuses on the beneficiary aspects of
Indian wine as an antioxidant. The project involves
studies on chemical and antioxidant properties of
Indian Wine.
Methodology
Indian wine possesses potent free radical scavenging
and antioxidant activities. The following parameters
were studies in detail.
1. DPPH scavenging activity: The principle for the
reduction of 1, 1- diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl
(DPPH) free radical is that, the antioxidant reacts
with stable free radical, DPPH and converts it to 1,
1-diphenyl2-picryl hydrazine.
31
st
2. Ferrous sulphate induced lipidperoxidation
inhibition activity: MDA reacts with TBA to
give a colored compound which has an
absorbance maxima at 532 nm, which serves
as a convenient index for determining the
extent of peroxidation reactions.
3. Copper sulphate / Ferric chloride / Hydrogen
peroxide induced lipidperoxidation
inhibition activity: Similar to that of ferrous
sulphate induced lipid peroxidation, except that
here copper sulphate or hydrogen peroxide is
used to induce lipidperoxidation.

Conclusions
The results of in vitro antioxidant activity
showed a significant free-radical scavenging
effect, as wine extract was found to be both
good hydrogen and electron donor as
evidenced in DPPH assays. The high
antioxidant activity of wine extract may be due
their redox properties, which play an important
role in adsorbing and neutralizing free radicals,
quenching oxygen, or decomposing peroxides.
The wine extract was effective in inhibiting the
copper sulphate induced lipid peroxidation and

Introduction
All living things rely on some form of radiation for their
existence. Ionizing radiation affects all life on earth.
Ionizing radiation is every where and gives rise to our
natural background radiation dose. This radiation is
always present in the environment as cosmic rays
form outer space, emanation from radioactive
minerals, and internally from natural radioactive
elements. Humans are exposed to artificial sources of
ionizing radiation from nuclear power plants atomic
bomb test fallout, medical x- rays and radioactive
source used for cancer. Ionizing radiation includes
non particulate radiation such as X rays and radiation
produced by energetic charged particles such as
alpha and beta rays and by neutrons as fro nuclear
reaction.

Introduction
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, a broad-spectrum
fluoroquinolone, is effective against both gram-
negative and gram-positive bacteria.
1
Ciprofloxacin
HCL destroys microorganisms by inhibiting DNA
gyrase, a type II bacterial topoiosomerase
necessary to separate replicated DNA during DNA
Synthesis. Inhibiting DNA gyrase prevents the
enzyme from resealing the double stranded DNA
after the nick is created during replication.
Ciprofloxacin HCl will also kill bacteria in both the
active and inactive growth phases.

In case of single dose administration, by increasing
the size of the drug, the duration of the drug in the
plasma above the minimum effective level can be
extended. Resulting in the drug concentration which
will lead to toxic response hence causing side effects.
To maintain the desired drug concentration level
multiple doses can be administered i.e. safe dose at
periodic intervals but this is inconvenient and patient
compliance is often poor. To overcome these
problems, sustained release can be used. Sustained
release gives a prolonged therapeutic effect by
continuously releasing medication over an extended
period of time after administration of single dose hence
reducing the frequency of administration.
This is achieved with the use of Ion exchange resins:
Ion exchange is reversible exchange of ions (of like
charge) between a solid phase and a liquid phase,
solid phase being the resin.
The drug when complexed with the resin its known as
the drug resin complex of the Resinate. The
interaction between the drug and the resin is partially
chemical and a result of physical adsorption. Its a
double decomposition process. The ion from the IER is
replaced by the ion on the drug and thus a complex is
formed .The ion of the IER which is exchanged by the
drug is known as the Counter ion. At the site of drug
delivery this process is reverted as a result the ion is
released into the environment.
Objectives
To formulate and evaluate the sustained release drug
delivery system for ciprofloxacin HCl using Ion
exchange resin.
Preformulation studies with ciprofloxacin and
Indion 244 resin.
Purification and activation of Indion 244.
Optimization of drug loading in resins by studying
the various parameters like stirring speed and
Drug: Resin ratio.
Study of in-vitro release of the drug from the resin
in the presence of different counter ions like
deionized water, pH 1.2, 0.1N NaCl , 0.5 N NaCl
and pH 6.8.
Study of the mechanism of the drug release.
Results and Conclusions
The aim of the present work was to formulate and
evaluate a sustained release dosage form of
Ciprofloxacin. It was successfully achieved by
complexation of the drug of interest with the Ion
exchange resin, Indion 244.
The study revealed that the Drug resin complexes can
be prepared by batch method through proper
adjustment of the formulation parameters i.e. 300 rpm
stirrer speed and D: R ratio of 0.75:1. At these
parameters, 95% maximum loading was achieved.
31
st
The resinates having a reasonable loading
efficiency, effectively control the release of a
relevant amount of the active drug over a 24 hour
period and release the drug dependant on the pH of
the dissolution medium.
The present study indicated that release of drug
from the resinate obeyed diffusion controlled
process and first order release rate.
Sustained release oral suspension of Ciprofloxacin
HCL was successfully formulated for a release
profile up to 24 hrs using Indion 244 as a cationic
resin acting as a rate controlling parameter.
Taking into consideration the gastric emptying time
with respect to the GIT route, release studies can
be carried out. This will give a more accurate
indication of the pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics of the drug on human
consumption.

Introduction
Fast depletion of fossil fuels is demanding an urgent
need to carry out research work, to find viable
alternative fuels. Hence lot of works has been
carried out to find suitable alternative to the diesel
and petrol. For diesel engine, biodiesel is
considered as a best substitute for diesel. But for
the experimental work, biodiesel was prepared from
edible oil or jatropha or honge oil.
In this work, an experimental work was carried out
to study the feasibility of using non edible mahua oil
as a substitute for diesel in the diesel engine. But
the biodiesel operation resulted in lower brake
thermal efficiency.
This may be due to the slightly higher viscosity of
the biodiesel which results in poor atomization. This
problem may be tackled by increasing the injector
opening pressure or adding commercially available
fuel additive.
Objectives
In the present work, an experimental work was
carriedout to study the effect of injector opening
pressure on the performance of the biodiesel operated
diesel engine.
To prepare biodiesel from mahua oil by
transesterification using methanol and potassium
hydroxide and to optimize the process variables
such as oil to methanol ratio, reaction time,
reaction temperature and quantity of catalyst.
Materials required for biodiesel production is
shown in Table 1. The mahua oil was converted
into biodiesel by transesterification. The reactants
required for the transesterification are fatty acids
(or oil), alcohol and catalyst.
To study the fuel properties of diesel, mahua oil,
mahua oil biodiesel.
To study the performance of the diesel engine with
diesel and mahua oil biodiesel
To study the effect of fuel injector opening pressure
on the performance of the biodiesel operated
diesel engine.
The injector opening pressure was increased by
increasing the tension of the spring which is
provided on the needle. This results in higher fuel
injector opening pressure
Compare the diesel engine performance with
diesel and biodiesel (better injector opening
pressure).

Based on the experiments, the following
conclusions were made.
The raw mahua oil was converted into biodiesel.
The fuel properties of biodiesel was better than
raw oil.
The performance of the diesel engine with
mahua oil biodiesel was lower than the neat
diesel operation. This may be due to the slightly
higher viscosity of the biodiesel.
The performance of the biodiesel operated
diesel engine was augmented by increasing the
fuel injector opening pressure to 220 bar. This
higher injector opening pressure improves the
atomization and spray formation of the
biodiesel. This results in better combustion of
the fuel and higher brake thermal efficiency.
A 4% - 6 % increase in brake thermal efficiency
was observed at 220 bar as compared to 180
bar recommended for diesel operation.
The compression ratio of the engine can be
varied to increase the efficiency of the biodiesel
operated diesel engine.
Commercially available additives can be tried to
improve the performance of the biodiesel
Fumigation of gaseous fuel can be used to
improve the performance of the biodiesel

Introduction
Pollution of ground water, rivers and lakes by heavy
metals is a very serious problem in many regions.
The pollution of water bodies takes place due to
careless attitude of industries. The effluents
released by printing, tanning, paint, battery,
chromoplating industries are the main cause of
pollution of fresh water bodies. Very often these
industries are small scale cottage industries without
employing proper effluent treatment measures; release
the untreated effluents in the nearby areas. This
results in pollution of soil and water.
For the purpose of bioremediation of polluted fresh
water bodies, hyrophytes are used, which help in
absorption of pollutants and retaining them in the body
parts of the plant. This type of bioremediation is called
phytoremediation.
Objectives
To determine the efficacy of removal or
bioremediation of heavy metal pollutants by
waterweed Salvinia molesta from fresh water.
Various concentrations of the metals were
considered and in the case of manganese the root,
bladder and leaves potential for bioremediation
was done.
Bioethanol production from dead plant in order to
find out the economic viability of this process.
Methodology

Result and conclusion
The present work has determined the rate of removal
of metallic elements by the aquatic macrophyte
Salvinia molesta. The aquatic plant Salvinia molesta
have shown promising potential for the removal of
heavy metals with different concentration.
Collection of Salvinia molesta
Acclimatization in laboratory condition
Addition of metals with known concentration
A time bound study of uptake of metals
Analysis carried out by U.V. Spectrophotometry*
Triacid mixture
Plant dried and subjected for digestion
Production of ethanol or bioethanol by cellulose digestion with Bakers yeast
31
st
The present study reveals that manganese
concentration was decreased by almost 96%.
It suggests that uptake of chromium by Salvinia
molesta was less when compared with
manganese uptake.
This suggests that Salvinia molesta may be an
accumulator for zinc.
Salvinia molesta may prove to be a good
accumulator for zinc and manganese when
compared to chromium.
Fermentation of the treated plant with Baker's
yeast produced almost 30% ethanol.
Salvinia molesta can be used as a fertilizer, mulch
or compost because some pollutants can leak to
soil or underground water. In order to increase the
ethanol yield further study need to be undertaken
by using more suitable microorganisms, addition of
precursors, improving the media formulation.

Introduction
Everyday we consume or spit toothpaste which
causes harm to human, animals, agriculture and
the environment since much of it becomes airborne,
part of it drains into the soil and also gets ingested.
Hence there is a great scope to avoid use of these
hazardous chemicals and replace it with natural,
non toxic, nutritional and antibacterial ingredients.
In an attempt to address this longfelt need a
number of products have been developed over a
long period of time. The project team have
formulated a tooth paste by using natural abrasives,
cleansing agents, antimicrobial agents and
enzymes, which provides nutritional supplements,
kills pathogenic microorganisms and improves
human digestion.
Objectives

nutritional supplement of tooth powder.
To identify best method to process antimicrobial
agent and abrasive from plant source.
To determine the antimicrobial activity of product
that is to be incorporated in toothpaste.
To determine the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme
protease, amylase and lipase incorporated in the
toothpaste
The Renjeer (Mimusops elengi) tree bark (RTB) was
collected from Idu, a village located adjecent to the
Western Ghats of Udupi district.
Ground nuts (Arachis hypogaea) and cloves
(Syzygium aromaticum) were obtained from the local
grocery shops of Mangalore.
Commercial hydrolytic enzyme mix consisting of
amylase, protease and lipase, with the trade name
Digezyme GF
was supplied by SAMI Labs Ltd.,

Bangalore and was used to study the biocatalytic
activity with different concentaions of renjeer, clove,
calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium and sodium.
Microbes tested for sensitivity were Pseudomonas ,
Shigella flexneri, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi
and Staphylococcus aureus.
The methodology includes:
Pulvarization of renjeer tree bark, clove and
ground nut
Sterilization of raw material
Proximate analysis
Enzyme assay
Amylolytic activity of the enzyme
Proteolytic activity of the enzyme
Lipolytic activity of the enzyme
Effect of temperature on enzyme activity
Effect of ph on enzyme activity
Effects of the aqueous renjeer extract, clove
extract and effectors on enzyme activity
Antimicrobial activity assay
Product formulation
Sterilization of equipment and media
Results and Conclusion
Different formulations with varying ratios of ground
renjeer plant bark powder (G-AD-RTB), clove powder
31
st
(G-SD-CLV) and ground nut powder (G-SD-GN) at
5:3:2, 2:3:5, 2:1:7, 3:2:5 and 5:1:4 proportions
respectively. All these five different formulations
(3:2:5, 5:1:4, 2:3:5, 2:1:7, 5:3:2) were sterilized at
100
C for 30 minutes on three successive days, and

were plated on every 10 days intervals to find
microbial load developed in each sample( Fig. 3.6
and 3.7). Formulation with 3:2:5 ratio of renjeer
plant bark powder (G-AD-RTB), clove powder (G-
SD-CLV) and ground nut powder (G-SD-GN) was
found suitable.
Hence a great scope exists to avoid using
hazardous chemicals which are harm to the human,
animals, agriculture and the environment, by
formulating a toothpaste with safe ingredients,
which provide nutritional supplements, kills
pathogenic microorganisms and improves human
digestion, by using natural abrasives, cleansing
agents, antimicrobial agents and enzymes.

10. RECOVERY OF SILVER FROM
PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM WASTE

Introduction
Aim of the project is to recover the silver from
photographic film waste by adsorptive bubble
separation method. It intend to study the effect of
concentration of surfactant, contact time and
temperature on recovery. After the process the
quality of the waste water is detected by a water
quality detection kit. There are many methods
which have been established commercially to
recover silver that exists in photographic waste
such as precipitation, electrolysis and ion
exchange. Adsorptive bubble separation method is
one of the methods wherein one of the components
gets selectively adsorbed on the bubble owing to
the charge difference.The silver ion gets selectively
adsorbed on the tail of the surfactant and thereby
can be separated from the solution.
Objectives
The objective of the project is to recover silver
from the photographic film waste using cationic
surfactant.
The parameters affecting the recovery like
aeration time, volume of surfactant and
temperature are varied and its effect on the silver
recovery is studied.
Methodology
Adsorptive bubble separation method in which silver
ions with appropriately prepared surfaces attach
themselves to gas bubbles and are thereby floated
from the aqueous phase. The surfactant molecule is
characterised by the simultaneous presence of both
nonpolar group and a polar group. By adsorbing at the
solid/aqueous interface, a surfactant imparts
hydrophobicity to the surface and this facilitates the
removal of surfactant coated silver particles from the
aqueous phases.
Conclusion
Silver from waste photographic film solution was
recovered very economically in very less time by
adsorptive bubble separation method.
From the experiment conducted, it can conclude that
the optimum conditions for the maximum recovery of
silver:
Aeration time - 1 hour
Volume of surfactant - 10 ml
Temperature - room temperature
Under these optimum conditions the recovery of silver
from photographic waste was found to be 34%.
Scope For Further Work
Further investigations can be done by increasing the
concentration of surfactant. The experiment can be
conducted with different types of cationic surfactants.
The experiment can be conducted below room
temperatures for recovery of silver.

Introduction
Rapid growth of industrialization and urbanization with
new technological advancements have been
contaminating the existing water resources by
discharging organics, colored dyes, heavy metals,
and non metals etc.These effluents are not only
31
st
objectionable for the presence of pollutants in
higher concentrations but also harmful for the
aquatic lives.
Among the physico-chemical treatment processes
adsorption is found to be highly effective, cheap
and easy method.
Activated carbon has been used as a standard
adsorbent for reclamation of municipal and
industrial wastes for portable use for almost three
decades.
The high cost of activated carbon has inspired the
investigators to search for a new and a more
effective adsorbent.
Alumina is one of the materials that can be used as
an adsorbent.
Objective
To investigate the adsorption behavior of dyes from
aqueous solution on activated alumina at different
operating conditions and to determine the optimum
adsorption of sorbents.
Methodology
The reagents for treatment that choose are
markedly different from that are currently being
used.
Conclusion
1. It is observed that s the temperature increased
the extent of adsorption decreased. At room
temperature of 28.5 C the extent of adsorption
was maximum.
2. The time required to reach equilibrium was
found to be 2 hours.
3. The equilibrium data is best represented by
freudlich isotherm.

Introduction
Black Cotton (BC) Soil is a challenge to the field of
civil engineering, due to the innumerable problems
it poses during and even after construction. Many
areas of Karnataka state contain BC soils and for
the construction of roads, buildings etc., it is necessary
to adopt suitable soil stabilization techniques. To
select a proper soil stabilization method, it is
necessary to study the characteristics of the soil.
Objective
To study the characteristics of Black Cotton soil of
Budni village and to study the alternative techniques of
soil stabilization using lime, fly ash and combination of
both.
Methodology
The various methods of soil stabilization include i)
Stabilization using cement or cementous materials like
lime; ii) stabilization by drainage; iii) Electric
Stabilization; iv) thermal stabilization; v) Stabilization
by heating; vi) Stabilization by cooling; vii) bituminous
Stabilization; viii) chemical Stabilization and ix)
mechanical Stabilization. The choice of the method
depends of the economic factors, soil conditions,
purpose/ type of construction etc.
In the present study, an attempt was made to find
optimum lime content and optimum moisture content
(OMC) corresponding to maximum dry density for
different lime contents. For that, the soil samples (with
admixtures viz. lime and fly ash) were tested for the
index properties viz. water content; specific gravity;
particle size distribution and consistency limits as well
as engineering properties viz. shear strength;
compressibility; permeability and CBR (California
Bearing Ratio).
The BC soil samples obtained from Budni village,
reacted well with lime blends. Many of the engineering
properties of the soil are enhanced by lime addition.
The OMC increases with increase in lime content.
CBR value of soil increased due to lime addition.
Expansion ratio and differential swelling index
decrease with increase in lime content. From the
above it can be concluded that Soil stabilization by
adding lime can be considered as an alternative
treatment to the soils of Budni village.

Introduction
As part of National Highway Development program
of the Govt. of India and similar programs of various
state governments, massive roadwork, was
takenup simultaneously across the country. This
had created scarcity of materials mainly, coarse
aggregates, forcing the contractors to compromise
on material quality. Flaky and non-flaky materials
were allowed to be mixed in certain portion, to
satisfy the shape test values, but not the strength.
Aggregate Impact Value (AIV) and Specific Gravity
(SG) are two indirect parameters in determining the
strength of aggregates.
Objectives
To determine the variation of AIV of aggregates for
different Specific Gravity, flakiness, compaction
factor and compressive strengths.
Materials and Methodology
The investigation was carried-out for aggregates of
different Sp. Gr., flakiness etc. for a concrete mix of
M20 grade. 43 grade cement, fine aggregates,
coarse aggregates from 5 different quarries (viz.
Almatti, Kolhar, Teggi, Mudhol and Huilgeri) and
water were the basic constituents. Coarse
aggregates of 100% flakiness (FL), 100% non-flaky
non-elongative (NFNE) and 100% non-flaky and
elongative (NFE) were used. Concrete with varying
proportions of NFNE, NFE and FL aggregates was
prepared. The fresh concrete samples were
subjected to compaction factor test to determine the
workability. The concrete was casted into 150 x 150
x 150mm moulds and cured for 7 days and 28 days
period. After curing, the cubes were tested for
compressive strength, AIV was computed and the
results were tabulated.
Aggregates of high specific gravity are found to be
of more strength. The AIV was not related to the
elongation and flakiness of the aggregate, but to
the strength. Huilgeri aggregates are of higher AIV.
The compressive strength of combination mix was
more than that of the individuals.

Introduction
With the growing population and increasing levels of
urbanization and industrialization, the water is
becoming a source and also getting polluted at a very
rapid rate. To overcome these, the wastewaters from
the industries shall be treated properly and maximum
reuse/ recycling shall be practiced. These wastewaters
can be either treated with aerobic process or
anaerobic systems. Compared to the aerobic systems,
anaerobic systems have become popular due to less
energy consumption and ease of maintenance etc.
Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor is
one such anaerobic system that treats effluents having
high organic content. Hybrid UASB (HUASB) is an
improvisation over the conventional UASB that can be
used for a wide variety of effluents.
Objectives
Generation of Biogas from Sugar Mill Wastewater
using HUASB.
Experimental Setup
A model HUASB made of 5mm acrylic sheet, having a
dia of 100mm and height of 1.3m used. It was
provided with necessary pumps, inlet/ outlet
arrangements etc. for the feed, gas and sludge
removal. Polypropylene rings were filled in the packing
zone. All openings were sealed air tight to maintain
anaerobic conditions. After completing leakage test
and rectification of leaks, the reactor was filled with 1.7
ltr of active septic tank sludge. The sugar mill
wastewater (of known COD) diluted to 1 ltr was fed
from the bottom of the reactor. The studies were done
at room temperature and pH was maintained at 6.5-
7.3. COD:N:P ratio was maintained at 350:5:1. The
reactor was operated for different Hydraulic Retention
Times (HRT) and Organic Loading Rate (OLR) with
COD ranging from 2000-4000 ppm. HRT was
maintained at 48 hours for 35 days, 24 hours for 4
days and 12 hours for remaining period. Samples were
drawn daily and tested for pH, COD, biogas
production, its methane content, volatile fatty acids,
alkalinity, total Kjeldahl Nitrogen etc. and the results
were tabulated.
The granulation of seed and substrate achieved in 60
days. Maximum COD removal efficiency was 85% for
an OLR of 8 kg COD/m
3
d and HRT of 24 Hours.
Biogas of 7.25 Ltr/d was produced with 60-70%
methane content, which can be captured as byproduct
for energy generation. PP rings proved as effective

Introduction
Masonry vaults, as a roofing element has been
used in practice since hundreds of years, are as
architecturally pleasing, structurally efficient and are
also a low energy alternative to the conventional
RC roofing system. Masonry vaults are being
constructed at many places using soil-cement
blocks.
There are a variety of vaults that can be classified
based on (a) geometry (size and shape), (b)
method of construction and (c) type of supporting
system.
Estimating the load carrying capacity and
understanding the failure patterns of masonry
vaults is extremely complex and hence one has to
resort to experimental techniques.
In this project an attempt has been made to
estimate the load carrying capacity and study the
failure patterns of geometrically scaled vaults.

Objectives
To understand the construction process of
masonry vaults.
To study the failure/crack patterns and load
carrying capacity of masonry vaults.
Theoretical stress analysis (Finite Element
Analysis) and comparison with experimental
results.

Methodology
A. Construction and testing of masonry vault
A 1:4 scaled masonry vaulted roof model was
constructed and gradually load it till failure. This
was constructed beneath a loading frame and was
loaded by hydraulic jacks and the load vs.
deflection was monitored.
The scaled models were constructed using
geometrically scaled soil-cement blocks using a
mould specially made for this purpose. The size of
the scaled brick is 115mm (length) 75mm
(breadth) 50mm (thickness).
Process of Manufacture of SMB

Construction of Ring Beam, Gable Wall, Vault and the
Testing of the masonry vault.
The strength and elastic properties of the masonry
were obtained by testing the blocks and prisms.
These values were used in the Finite Element Analysis
to carry out the stress analysis.
B. Construction and testing of composite vault
Construction of Composite vault is same as that of
masonry vault but Shear keys of 3mm diameter
galvanized iron wires were provided at 300mm c/c
spacing and tested.

Based on the investigation on the un-reinforced
masonry vault and the masonry vault with ferro-
cement shell the following are the broad set of
conclusions:
1. It is possible to construct a masonry vault using
a pair of templates and hence form work is not
necessary.
2. The load carrying capacity of the composite
vault was three times that of the un-reinforced
vault.
3. The crack patterns of the composite vault were
similar to that, observed in the un-reinforced vault;
however no brittle mode of failure of vault was
noticed.
4. The failure of composite vault was due to failure of
the tie beam underneath the gable wall.
5. The failure of the tie beam and the wall below it
indicates the tension developed in the tie beam,
which exceeded the design strength, for the test
carried out on composite vault.
6. Based on the linear FE analysis it can be
concluded that there is a fairly good comparison of
the stress contours which give an indication of the
crack patterns.
Scope for further studies
The experimental investigation can be extended to full-
scale models with various parameters such as span,
rise, thickness etc. The study can be extended to
masonry domes as well.

Introduction
Rat-trap bond in a masonry is a bond in which the
stretchers and headers are laid on their sides, with the
base of the stretcher facing outwards. This gives a wall
with an internal cavity bridged by the headers, hence
the name. The main advantage of this bond is
economy in use of bricks, giving a wall of one brick
thickness with fewer bricks than a solid bond.
Rat-trap bond was in common usage in England for
building houses of fewer than three stories up to the
turn of the 20th century and is today still used in India
as an economical bond, as well for the insulation

Results obtained from the tests were carried out on
four numbers of rat trap bond masonry wallette and
four numbers of header bond masonry wallettes. The
conclusions are as follows:
a) The load carrying capacity of rat trap bond
masonry was found to be slightly higher than the
header bond masonry constructed with same type

is, 230mm.
b) For header bond masonry, height to thickness
ratio for the stabilized mud block of size 230 mm x
190mm x 100mm is 0.526, whereas for the same

Introduction
Oxidation characteristics of bitumen has influence the
performance of bituminous mixes in the field .Studies
conducted in the field have been time consuming and
delayed due to slow process of oxidation of binder
used in road construction. Hence there is a need to
understand the behavior of various Bituminous
31
st
Binders, against ageing or oxidation. The project is
aimed at ageing characteristics of Bituminous
Binder mixture at laboratory. By doing so one can
understand the performance of bituminous binder
against ageing characteristics.
Objectives
To determine the effect of Short term ageing on
Bituminous mix.
To conduct studies on long term ageing of
Bituminous Binder using ultraviolet oven.
To determine the performance of Bituminous
mix with respect to permanent deformation after
ageing.
Methodology
1. Short term aging characteristics of bituminous
binder were tested using thin film oven test.
2. Long term ageing effect were tested by using
ultra violet oven to under stand the behavior of
binder with respect to oxidation.
3. Three different binder PMB40, PMB70 and
WPMP were used for testing.
Conclusion
1. Optimum Binder Content was found out to be
4.75% for PMB, 4.6% for WPMB and 4.55% for
PMB-40 Bitumen by weight of the aggregate for
bituminous mix.
2. All three binders showed an decrease in trend
in terms of stability and flow value of bituminous
mix. PMB -70 showed a decrease of 13.18% ,
PMB 40 showed a decrease of 14.12 %
,WPMB showed a increase of 10% over a time
period of 72 hrs for stability value.
3. In case of PMB-70, PMB-40 it was observed
that bottom and top portion of binder in
separation tube show little variation in test
results . This is because binders PMB-70,
PMB-40 manufactured in refineries at controlled
environment and modifiers used are spread
uniformly across the binder. WPMB showed
irregular variation in sample.
4. It is observed that values of binders after
ageing for 72 hrs is well within limits of
specification specified by IS and IRC (2 -6
poise @ 150 deg ).
5. Since WPMB in not a refinery product the
binder is produced by blending the waste
plastic, the stability and flow values of the mix are
not consistent with ageing.

COLUMNS CONFINED WITH FRP AND
GFRP FOR SEISMIC RESISTANCE

Introduction
Columns occupy a vital place in the structural system.
Weakness or failure of a column destabilizes the entire
structure. Strength & ductility of steel columns need to
be ensured through adequate strengthening, repair &
rehabilitation techniques to maintain adequate
structural performance. Recently, composite column
are finding a lot of usage for seismic resistance.
Fibre Reinforced polymer (FRP) is an innovative
material for strengthening. FRP wrapped columns
exhibit higher strength and improved ductility.
GFRP confinement provided in potential plastic hinge
region lead to significant improvement in both strength
and displacement ductility.
Concrete-filled steel tubular columns have many
excellent structural properties, such as high
compressive strength, large ductility and large energy
absorption capacity.
The strength of steel and concrete for building
structures is getting higher with the development of
new materials. The cross-section with high strength
materials becomes smaller, and consequently a
column becomes more slender. The design of a
column considering buckling and P effect becomes
more important in such situation.
Objectives
To understand the behaviour of composite steel
columns with GFRP wrapped
To find Energy absorbing capacity
To determine Load carrying capacity
To study the effect of Effective length to diameter
To know the Ultimate strength increase for all the
above types of specimen.
31
st
Seismic performance is also studied in term of
energy absorption demand.
Methodology
60 specimen were cut from commercial available
tubes with end faces of each specimen carefully
machined for complete bearing with hinged plates
in the UTM.
Tests were carried on
1. Conventional core steel column (10)
-with & without GFRP wrapped
2. Sleeved steel column (10)
3. Concrete filled sleeved composite columns (40)
4. Concrete soil filled conventional columns (40)
All the columns were subjected to compressive
loads in UTM (400 KN) until they buckle maximum
& readings were be noted. Failures were observed
using deformation dial gauge. In addition, for all
sleeved columns, sleeved composite columns filled
with cement concrete and soil-cement mix in
different configurations were also considered to
observe the failure modes & load carrying capacity
Conclusions
The load carrying capacity of GFRP-wrapped
columns are always higher than that of without
GFRP-wrapped columns.
The GFRP-wrapped column is able to absorb
more energy before it fails as compare to the
column without GFRP-wrapped. And hence due
to GFRP-wrapping of column, the energy
absorption capacity is improved..
The space occupied by GFRP-wrapped
columns is not more than that of conventional
steel sleeved columns.
Level of axial load has significant role on
ductility of columns. Higher axial forces axial
forces degrade overall response and increases
demands of GFRP jackets and hence a large
number of GFRP layers required for the
columns subjected to higher axial force.
Application of GFRP confinement contributed to
the increase in compressive strength as well as
ultimate strain levels in the specimens. The
improvement in strain capacity is more
pronounced than that in strength.
The main disadvantage of GFRP-wrapped system
is that of the cost, i.e. the rate of GFRP sheet per
sq.mt is around Rs one thousand.
Scope For Further Research
Optimum use of GFRP-wrapped core steel
column and its influence on Ductility of the
sleeved column systems.
As there is an uncertainty about the order of
occurrence of local buckling of steel tube and
crushing of concrete core/GFRP-wrapped core
the mechanism of local buckling has to be
studied further.
Fatigue behavior needs to be investigated in
order to use this kind of columns in buildings
subjected to seismic forces.
It is essential to evaluate Static, Dynamic and
Fire performance of full-scale moment
resistant frames with GFRP-wrapped/
concrete/ soil-cement encased steel sleeved
columns.

Introduction
Recognizing the lack of uniformity and complete
compaction of concrete by vibration, Self Compacting
Concrete (SCC) was developed, which doesnt need
complete vibration. SCC is made of normal concrete
materials by way of adding chemical and mineral
admixtures. Usually, High Range Water Reducing
Admixture (HRWRA) and Viscosity Modifying
Admixture (VMA)s are added in preparation of SCC. At
times, mineral admixtures are used as an extra fine
material, besides cement, and in some cases, they
replace cement, partially.
SCC can be made in the following three ways:
Powder type SCC made using powder content
31
st
VMA type SCC made using VMA admixture
Combined type SCC made using powder
content and also VMA admixture
Objective
To evaluate the effect of ratio of different sized
coarse aggregates on the compressive strength of
SCC.
Methodology
The study involves obtaining the design mix of
Powder type SCC, with cementous content (70%
cement + 30% pulverized fly ash), for five different
ratios of coarse aggregates of 20mm and 6.3mm,
by keeping all other parameters constant, without
the use of VMA. Required dosage of
superplasticizer was added to satisfy the
rheological properties of SCC. The ratios of 20mm:
6.3mm coarse aggregates, chosen for the study are
I) 40:60; ii) 45:55; iii) 50:50; iv) 55:45 and v) 60:40.
In addition, two samples one each of 6.3mm coarse
aggregates alone and the other with 20mm coarse
aggregates alone, were also tested.
Three (03) cubes for each mix for a curing period of
3 days; 7 days; 28 days and 56 days were tested
(total 84 cubes of 150mm x 150mm x 150mm size),
were subjected to compressive strength test and
the results were compared.
The mix with ratio of 45:55 of 20mm: 6.3mm coarse
aggregates resulted in highest compressive
strength at 3 days; 7 days; 28 days and even at 56
days of curing period and proved to be the most
suitable ratio of the coarse aggregate, for the
selected cementous content, water binder ratio etc.

Introduction
Concrete, the major construction material worldwide
has poor tensile properties. Fiber reinforced
concrete (FRC) has better tensile characteristics
compared to normal concrete. Different types of fibers
are used in FRCs, but a combination of two or more
different types of fibers are used to produce hybrid
FRC. The fibers generally include metal fibers (steel
fibers, GI fibers, carbon fibers etc.); polymeric fibers
(armid, nylon, polyster and polypropylene etc.) and
naturally occurring fibers (bamboo thread fibers,
coconut hair fibers, jute fibers, horse hair etc.).
Different fiber materials have distinguished properties
that enhance the behaviour of concrete. Two types of
hybrid FRC are possible. In the former, fibers of the
same material but of different sizes will be used to
attain the desired strength and stiffness. In the latter,
fibers of same length but with different modulus of
elasticity are used to attain high toughness. To make
use of the waste materials like lathe waste and waste
tires etc. an effort is made to study the behaviour of
hybrid FRC using waste rubber tire and waste coiled
fibers.
Objectives
To study and compare the characteristics of hybrid
FRC made of waste rubber tires and waste coiled
fibers.
Materials and methodology
The materials used include 43 grade Portland cement;
fine aggregate of specific gravity 2.56, uniformity coeff
of 2.51 and fineness modulus of 3.13; 12mm coarse
aggregate of specific gravity 2.75, uniformity coeff of
1.2 and fineness modulus of 6.93; superplasticizer to
improve the workability of concrete; water and fibers of
waste coil turnings from lathe machines and fibers
from waste rubber tires. The aspect ratio of fibers was
maintained as 40.
M-20 grade concrete mix was used for the present
study. Cement, sand and coarse aggregates were
mixed in dry state. Then required quantity of mono
fibers and hybrid fibers was added. Superplasticizer
was added to improve the workability. Then water was
added and mixed thoroughly. The concrete was
poured into moulds, thoroughly compacted and the top
surface was finished with a trovel. Moulds were
removed after 24 hours and the samples were kept for
28 days for curing. After curing, the specimens were
tested for compression test, flexural tests, impact test
and tensile strength. The test results were tabulated.
The hybrid FRC made of waste coil fibers and waste
rubber fibers has better strength than mono fiber FRC.
Remarkable improvements can be obtained in tensile
strength, flexural strength and impact strength with
hybrid FRC made of above materials. Also, these are
31
st
very economical due to the low price of the fiber
materials.

Introduction
The technology of fiber reinforced concrete can be
traced back to antiquity when straw was used to
make bricks. In the past 20 years, there has been a
renewed interest in the science and application of
fiber reinforced cements. The organic and inorganic
fibres can be advantageously used in concrete. In
recent years, intensive research has resulted in
advances and innovation in the technology of fibers
such as polypropylene, galvanized iron, steel, etc.,
and more basic knowledge has been gained on the
behaviour of cement concrete containing these
fibers.
There have been fast impovements and discoveries
in concrete technology. The various new products
of it are fibre reinforced concrete, hybrid fibre
reinforced concrete, fibrous-Ferro cement systems,
polymer concrete, vacuum concrete, gap graded
concrete etc., are few to mention among them.
Objectives
To findout the suitability of fibre reinforced concrete
and cocktail fibre reinforced concrete (hybrid fibre
reinforced concrete) as a repair material for beams
and columns.
Methodology
In the experimentation, the moni-fibres used
are steel fibres (SF), galvanized iron ribre
(GIF), waste coiled steel fibre (WCSF), waste
plastic fibre (WPF) and polypropylene fibre
(PPF). The hybrid fibre combinations used in
the experimentation are (SF+GIF),
(SF+WCSF), (SF + PPF).
43 grade OPC was used which complies with
IS12269 - 1987. Locally available sand and
coarse aggregates were used. Specific gravity
of sand was found to be 2.65 and was zone II
sand as per IS 383-1970. Specific gravity of
coarse aggregates was found to be 2.85. The
coarse aggregates used were 12 mm and down
size.
Steel fibres used in experimentation were of 60
mm length and 1 mm thickness with corrugated
shape, thus giving as aspect ratio of 60. Steel
fibres were added by volume fraction. Density of
steel fibres was found to be 78500 N/m
3
.
Polypropylene fibres used in the experimentation
were having a length of 16mm and density of 9100
N/m
3
. Averge thickness of polypropylene fibres
was found to be 7.5 micron, leading to aspect ratio
of 2133. Youngs modulus of polypropylene fibres
was found to be 5 x 10
3
MPa
GI fibres were obtained by cutting GI wires having
a density of 70000 N/m
3
. GI wires were having a
diameter of 1 mm. The length of GI fibre cut was
40 mm, which leads to an aspect ratio of 40.
Waste coiled steel fibres were obtained from a
local lathe machine shop having an average
thickness of 0.5 mm and length of 40 mm, which
leads to an aspect ratio of 80.
The cement sand and aggregates were weighed
according to mix proportion 1 : 1.52 : 2.85 which
corresponds to M20 grade of concrete.
The size of beam cast were 100 mm x 100 mm x
500 mm and the size of the column was 100 mm x
100 mm x 500 mm.
After 28 days of curing the beam specimens and
columns were taken out of curing tank and they
were surface dried. The surface of beams and
columns were lightly hatched with chisel and
hammer. Before hatching, the beams were
subjected to a two point loading. 10% of the failure
load for the beam was applied and cracks were
initiated. Similarly columns were also applied with
10% of failure load to initiate the cracks.
Concrete mix with mono fibre or hybrid fibres was
prepared as per the requirement. For monofibre
concrete mix, the percentage of fibres used was
1% (by volume fraction). For hybrid fibre concrete
mix the percentage of fibres used was (0.5% +
0.5% by volume fraction). Now the hatched beams
and hatched columns were kept in a wooden
mould of size 120 mm x 120 mm x 520 mm. The
moni-fibre concrete mix or hybrid fibre concrete
mix was poured into the remaining annular space
of the framework, thus giving a coat of mono-fibre
concrete or hybrid fibre reinforced concrete.
After 28 days of curing the beam specimens were
tested on UTM of capacity 1000 kN. They were
tested with two point loading as per IS516 : 1959.
The failure load was obtained and the flexural
31
st
strength was calculated for all the repaired
beams using mono-fibre reinforced concrete
and hybrid fibre reinforced concrete. The
columns were also tested on UTM of capacity
1000 kN. The failure load was noted down and
compressive strength was calculated for the
repaired columns.
Results and discussions
1. It is observed that the flexural strength of
repaired beams by different fibre reinforced
concrete using different moni-fibres such as
steel fibres, waste coiled steel fibres, wste
plastic fibres, polypropylene fibres, are higher
that of the beam repaired by plain concrete.
2. The flexural strength of repaired beams can be
enhanced using mono-fibre reinforced
concrete.
3. The flexural strength of repaired beams by
using different hybrid fibres such as (SF+GIF),
(SF+WCSF), (SF +WPF), (SF+PPF) are higher
that of the beam repaired by plain concrete.
4. The flexural strength of repaired beams can be
enhanced using hybrid-fibre reinforced
concrete.

different moni-fibres such as steel fibres, waste
coiled steel fibres, waste plastic fibres,
polypropylene fibres are higher that of the
column repaired by plain concrete.

Introduction
With the fast depletion of precious natural resources,
there is an urgent need to search for alternative
building materials. Natural sand is being consumed by
the building industries at such a rate that days are not
far off before natural sand may have to be declared an
endangered resource.
In this work, an attempt is made to investigate the
utility of Iron Ore Tailings for partial replacement of
sand.
The iron ore tailing which is collected as a waste in
KUDUREMUKHA is brought to the laboratory for
investigation.
Objectives
To check the suitability of Kudremukh Iron Ore tailings
as an alternative fine aggregate for cement mortar /
concrete.
The basic tests like sieve analysis, specific gravity,
bulk density, bulking were conducted.
Methodology
Suitability of iron ore tailings as alternative fine
aggregate is tested through n experimental program.
The compressive strength of cement mortar prepared
with iron ore tailing in different proportions of total fine
aggregate is tested for three water cement ratios.

surface with large replacement of sand.

31
st

Mortar cube kept for Typical failure of specimen
compression testing under compression.

Conclusions
It is observed that the compressive strength of
cement mortar increases with the addition of iron
ore tailing up to 50% replacement of sand, beyond
which there is a reduction of compressive strength.
The reason for the improvement in the compressive
strength may be attributed to the fact that the iron
ore tailing being finer than the sand particles
occupy the voids between the sand particles and
hence contribute to a better interfacial bond.
Iron ore tailing can be recommended for utilization
as an alternative fine aggregate for both mortar and
concrete.
Though the finer size of iron ore tailing may pose
problems in handling and also induce additional
shrinkage of concrete, extra care has to be taken
for proper curing of concrete.
The replacement of natural sand by iron ore tailing
will certainly go a long way in saving precious
natural resources.

A combination of quarry dust and iron ore tailing
can be tried as an alternative fine aggregate.
Other properties of concrete like flexural strength,
tensile strength, elastic modulus need to be
established.

Columns are the vertical members of any framed
structure, which are designated to carry compressive
loads. These columns can be of different materials like
masonry, RCC, timber, steel, composite columns, clay
block composite columns etc. Composite columns are
maedup of more than one material, which are
designed to carry complex loading conditions. In
these, one material counters the drawbacks of another
material. Various types of composite columns are
being designed and the present study involves
terracotta blocks filled with cement concrete and
reinforced with steel in their hollow spaces.
Objectives

350mm with hole size of 50 x 30mm; 53 grade cement;
12.5mm downsize coarse aggregates; sand; TMT bars
of 10, 12 & 16mm dia and water. 1: 1:3 concrete mix
was used with varying amounts of reinforcement.
Specimens of rectangular cross section of 145mm x
175mm and a height of 1.16mm were casted. The
samples were divided into 5 groups based on their
reinforcement. Total of 26 specimens were casted and
tested for 28 days strength. The terracotta blocks were
soaked in water for 24 hours. After that they were
bonded with 1:3 cement mortar, and left undisturbed
for 24 hours. The bonded specimens were filled and
compacted with 1: 1:3 concrete and 4 steel bars of
Fe415 at 4 corners with an effective cover of 40mm at
the top and at the bottom. To improve the bearing
strength of the specimen, they were covered with
40mm thick 1:1:2 concrete mix at the top and bottom.
Allowed to cure for 28 days and tested.

Introduction
Subgrade and sub-base are major components of
the pavement. The subgrade soil and its properties
are important in pavement design. The main
function of subgrade is to give adequate support to
pavement and for this subgrade should possess
sufficient stability.
Soil stabilization is the process of treating the soil in
such a manner as to alter or improve the
performance of the soil as a construction material.
Soil improvement by mechanical or chemical
means is widely adopted. Recent enzymes have
emerged as a new technique for soil stabilization.
Objectives
The objects of this study were:
To study the variation of constitancy limit of soil
treated with enzyme.
To study the variation of unconfined
compression strength
To study the variation of CBR value.
To get the optimum dosage of enzyme.
Methodology
To assess the suitability of Bio-Enzyme as soil
stabilizer, laboratory tests were done to determine
the engineering properties and strength
characteristics of black cotton soil with and without
stabilization with bio-enzyme.
The black cotton soils samples were tested for
engineering properties and for strength parameters
such as CBR and unconfined compressive strength
without and with stabilization using a bio-enzyme
named TerraZyme.
The following tests were conducted in laboratory.
1. Specific gravity test
2. Grain size analysis.
3. Atterberg limits
4. Compaction test
5. CBR test
6. Unconfined compression test.
Conclusions
1. The consistency Limits tests conducted for treated
and untreated black cotton soil indicates
improvement in Plasticity Index.
2. The light and heavy compaction tests show the
improvement in MDD value with decrease in OMC.
From untreated to treated soil with 4% enzyme
the increase in the MDD value is from 1.74 g/cm
3

to 1.85 g/cm
3
.
3. Based on MDD value obtained from heavy
compaction test, the UCC test conducted and the
results indicates that there is 80% increase in the
unconfined compressive strength.
4. The CBR test results shows small improvement in
CBR value for unsoaked condition.
Scope For Future Work
1. The result shows that there is improvement in the
properties of black cotton soil when treated with 1,
2, 3 and 4%. The experiment is to be extended to
find the optimum dosage of enzyme.
2. Blending of BC soil with coarse material like
coarse sand and treating with enzyme may
improve the CBR and the UCC value.
3. The improvement in the geotechnical properties of
enzyme treated soil is to be tested by increasing
its curing period.

Introduction
The present situation in India is such that the
condition of road gets deteriorated at a much faster
rate and therefore a wide approach was made by
various researches to come out with the solution.
The major cause was found to be the settlement of
soil due to loose sub grade beneath. Therefore the
determination of California Bearing Ratio value has
got much importance in determining the stability of
the soil.
Aim of the Project
This project basically focuses on the practical
applications of a mathematical model in the field for a
quick determination pf California bearing ratio (CBR). It
includes a general numerical modeling after studying
various soil types for 12 districts of Karnataka based
on the percentage of quantities like Gravel, Sand,
Silt/Clay, and their other physical properties like Liquid
Limit (LL), Plastic Limit (PL), Plasticity Index (PI) and
Proctor Density for any kind of soil.
The following tests were conducted to determine the
CBR values
Grain size analysis and particle size distribution
Soil classification
Compaction
Atterberg limit
Methodology
The procedure during the course of this project
comprises of collection of the database related to
various soil physical properties determined by
standard methods from Pradan Mantri Sadak Yojana
for 12 districts of Karnataka, and designing a
mathematical model to fit in to the characteristics of
soil depending upon these values hence create a
general mathematical equation which can receive
various parameters (viz. LL, PL, PI, Density,
percentage of soil particles) and thus give the value of
CBR for that particular soil type of that district
CBR is the main and major experiment, for the design
of pavements like flexible or rigid. The conventional
method of determination of CBR may take four to five
days. It proves time consuming and uneconomical at
present competitive field.
The data is collected by PRADAN MANTRI GRAM
SADAK YOJAN for 12 districts of Karnataka.
Tabulated all the datas in specified format such that it
can easily understood to any one.
A linear regression analysis is carried out on the data
base collected from the tests to find the empirical
relationship of such physical properties with the CBR
value. By this, knowing the numerical physical
properties of soils, the CBR value can be directly
determined without the standard proctor needle test or
any other method and only by mere substitution.
Using SPSS Software analysed all the datas of
individual district to get the final equation. Tabulated
the data in specified manner and keeping CBR as
dependent variable and other properties as
independent variables
The variation of CBR (4 days soaked) with different
soil properties has been represented graphically and
the co-efficient are determined to show their
relationship. The model developed for 12 districts of
31
st
Karnataka can be used for same areas directly for
the soil studies. The datas have been obtained
from PMGSY database and can be used for any
other road construction work future.
Conclusion
For the purpose of determination of the CBR values
based on various soil physical properties the datas
regarding the particle size classification and volume
variations with water content in different types of
soils have been collected.
A linear regression analysis is carried out on this
database to find the empirical relationship of such
physical properties with the CBR value which is
represented by a linear model for specific districts.
By this, knowing the numerical physical properties
of the soil of the same area the CBR value can be
directly determined without the standard proctor
needle test or any other field method only by mere
substitution.
Scope for Future Work
Established the graphical and mathematical models
for individual soil parameters such as CBR v/s
Gravel , CBR v/s Sand , CBR v/s Silt/Clay, CBR v/s
Liquid Limit, CBR v/s Plastic Limit, CBR v/s
Plasticity Index, CBR v/s Optimum moisture
content, CBR v/s Dry Density. Establish graphical
model for all the soil parameters. This extended
model can be utilized to increase the CBR value for
the design of pavements.
Since the group has conducted the project for only
12 districts of Karnataka State, the project can be
extended to other districts of the state and try to
generalize the models for particular state and try to
extend it country wide.

Introduction
Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR), a
novel routing protocol for wireless datagram
networks that uses the positions of routers and a
packets destination to make packet forwarding
decisions. GPSR makes greedy forwarding decisions
using only information about a routers immediate
neighbors in the network topology. When a packet
reaches a region where greedy forwarding is
impossible, the algorithm recovers by routing around
the perimeter of the region.
Aim of the Project
A mobile ad hoc network consists of wireless hosts
that may move often. Movement of hosts results in a
change in routes, requiring some mechanism for
determining new routes. This survey suggests an
approach to utilize GPSR to improve performance of
routing protocols for ad hoc networks.
Methodology
Localization is a fundamental problem in wireless
sensor networks. In this project, it consider how to
trace individual nodes in a wireless sensor network.
Networks (WSN) comprise of numerous tiny sensors
that are deployed in spatially distributed terrain. These
sensor nodes can form a network and data collected
from one sensor node can be transferred to another
node. Due to the low-cost of these nodes, the
deployment can be in order of magnitude of thousands
to million nodes. The nodes can be deployed either in
random fashion or a pre-engineered way. This transfer
of data from one node to another continues until the
data reaches the final destination. The sensor nodes
perform desired measurements, process the measured
data and transmit it to a base station, commonly
referred to as the sink node, over a wireless channel.
The base station collects data from all the nodes, and
analyzes this data to draw conclusions about the
activity in the area of interest. Sinks can act as
gateways to other networks, as a powerful data
processor or as access points for human interface.
They are often used to disseminate control information
or to extract data from the network. Nodes in sensor
networks have restricted storage, computational and
energy resources; these restrictions place a limit on
the types of deployable routing mechanisms. In this
project, we present a routing protocol to prolong the
life time of the network.
Scope of the project
A wireless sensor network consists of a number of
sensors spreading across a geographical area to
perform distributed sensing tasks using wireless
medium. A wireless sensor network consists of light-
weight, low power, small size of sensor nodes. In
order to facilitate data transfer from a source node to a
destination (sink) node, a routing protocol is needed to
determine the possible routes. With a limited power
31
st
supply, sensor nodes are deployed densely and
prone to failures. As a result, many traditional ad-
hoc routing protocols may not be suitable for large-
scale, dense sensor networks. Recently, studies in
routing protocols in sensor networks have become
a very active and vital area of research. Sensor
routing algorithms must be energy efficient, robust
to failures, and secure against the compromised
and malicious nodes to ensure correct data
delivery. In general, the routing protocols can be
classified into two categories based on the network
structure: flat and geographical based routing. This
project describes the GPRS routing protocol for
sensor networks and we examine its characteristic
and functionality. The advantages and drawbacks
for such routing protocol are provided as well. The
areas of applications of sensor networks vary from
military, civil, healthcare, and environmental to
commercial. Examples of application include forest
fire detection, inventory control, energy
management, surveillance and reconnaissance,
and so on.
GPSR will allow the building of networks that
cannot scale using prior routing algorithms for wired
and wireless networks. Such classes of networks
include:
Rooftop networks: fixed, dense deployment of
vast numbers of nodes.
Ad-hoc networks: mobile, varying density, no
fixed infrastructure.
Sensor networks: mobile, potentially great
density, vast numbers of nodes, impoverished
per-node resources.
Vehicular networks: mobile, non-power-
constrained, widely varying density.

mail management applications. To implement an
application through which it is easy to send or
receive messages between client/server
architecture, encryption-decryption of messages.
CryptoMail service has all Security Measures by using
login and password verifications. It also encrypts the
messages so that security is maintained. Also, a new
user can create his/her own account by registering
himself (by filling the registration form containing all
validations), and can change the password at any
time. Unauthorized access is not possible and an
intruder is unable to open a users account without the
username and password.
Objectives
This mail system is intended to send highly
secure intra-circular mail that is of importance to
an Organization or College.
User is intended to register into the system giving
details for a two level authentication scheme. First
level (username, password) to login and a second
level (secret key) to decrypt and view mail
messages.
The mail messages are encrypted (sender side)
and decrypted (receiver side) using AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm 128 bit
key.
Encrypting keys may be different for different mail
messages i.e. unique keys can be entered for
each mail message.
User has to enter his/her secret key to decrypt
and view the mail messages.

Sender enters a symmetric key# to encrypt the
message.
This symmetric key# is stored in an encoded
form.
Receiver enters his/her private key* to get the
symmetric key# (decoded) for decryption.
This symmetric key# is used to decrypt the
message.
The key entered by the sender to encrypt message
is stored in a file named key.txt (with session id and
the message id attached to file name
eg.S13453anukey.txt) in an encrypted format
(which is encrypted using AES algorithm with a 128
bit system generated key using JCE- javax.crypto).
This key.txt file after creation is set only read
permission. Thus both the key and the mail
messages are secure from attacks.
The recipient has to enter his/her secret key (given
during registration) to view the key that was used to
encrypt the mail message. He/She has to enter the
viewed key to decrypt the message.
The system has been tested for its capability
requirements such as capacity, efficiency, speed
and accuracy. The system has been demonstrated.
The functionality of all the modules and the module
level integration is found to be satisfactory.
The important feature of the software includes user-
friendly operations and efficient commanding
operations. The powerful front-end tool used here is
HTML.
Enhancements
The users can forward or receive messages only to
the same working server and cannot forward mails
to the other working server. Add chatting
application on the lines of yahoo messenger which
would enable real time communication.

Introduction
The notion of sharing a document in real-time over the
internet is quite alluring. Considering a single process
running on a host that allows the user to create a
diagram, consisting mainly of geometrical shapes and
strategically placed text. Several systems should be
able to connect to this host and receive the data over
the internet. There should be no limitation to the
number of systems that can connect to the host. The
receiver systems should further be able to transmit this
data to other systems that connect to them.
Methodology
The software provides document sharing and instant
messaging facilities using two separate sockets over
the network, independent of the platform used. Also,
any number of systems can connect to a host that is
creating the document. The document can be saved
on the user machine for future references.
The application is developed using a socket based
multi-server multi-client model. Methodology for
development is exploratory. Software model used is
evolutionary model. This software is designed in C#
language on .Net platform.
To investigate the problem, various scenarios were
considered. One of the scenarios was the classroom
scenario. In this scenario, the users of the system are
professors and students. Many students can connect
to a Professor and receive notes. Students can send
their queries to the Professor using the Instant
Messaging facility.
In order to support the hypothesis, two separate
sockets are created; one for document sharing and
other for Instant Messaging.
A user can create a document using the clipboard
provided by the software. The data is parsed into a
series of strings and saved in a file. Whenever the
user wants to send this data over the network to other
users, he starts the server to which the other users
have to connect. Then the data sharing takes place
downstream. The users save this data on their local
machines. They also receive updates to this document
if any. The users communicate with each other if
necessary using the Instant Messaging Facility.
The VCNET software provides facilities for users to
share the documents over the network in an efficient
manner. This software does not add too much to the
network traffic as the data is serialized and streamed
over the network.

Introduction
This project demonstrates how to control the
electronic devices like computer through the cellular
phone. The user will not only be allowed to control
the computer but also applications running on it.
This can be achieved by using J2ME on the cellular
phone which will send the instructions to the
servlets at the server and then the servlets will pass
on the instructions to the particular computer using
Remote Method Invocation and once the
instructions are executed, the remote machine will
acknowledge the server about the successful
completion of instructions and in turn the server will
send a message to the cellular phone saying the
given task has been completed successfully. The
cellular phone will be connected to the server in the
network, thus taking the control over all the
computers in the network and handing it over to the
user to his convenience.
Objective
This project aims at providing remote access and
control of applications in a server. This product is
helpful to those people, who intend to carry on their
work even when outside the office. This project
demonstrates how to control the electronic devices
like computer through the cellular phone using
J2ME. The user will not only be allowed to control
the computer but also applications running on it.
This application can be further extended to control
any kind of electronic devices apart from the
computer.
The main technology that is used in this project for
establishment of connectivity is the wireless
network adapter. This is mainly needed to establish
the connectivity.
Conclusion
This project will help the system administrators to
control the application on the server remotely as if
he is physically in front of it. This it provides an
easy way for the users to interact with his server
situated at a larger distance which in turn provides
the feature of remotivity. This can be extended
further in such a way that each and every part of the
system is accessible, controllable and modifiable by
small computing devices. The user feels as if he is
physically in front of the server and which he / she tries
to access.

Introduction
The Indian Power Sector is facing major challenges
today with the introduction of Reforms and
Globalization. Despite the planners attaching
utmost importance to energy sector since
beginning, energy and peak power shortages are
not only continuing, but also further increasing. For
efficient operation of a system both load and supply
should operate at optimum level and losses should
be minimum as well. So the need to conserve
energy has now been universally acknowledged in
order to save the scarce and fast depleting sources
of energy. The demand for energy is increasing
very fast in comparison to generation as it involves
huge investment and long time to start a new
generating station. Importance of energy audit as a
means to achieve energy savings is brought forth

converted from one form to another.
To identify the opportunities to reduce energy
usage and losses.
To evaluate the economics technical practicability
of implementing these reductions.
To formulate prioritized recommendations for
implementing process improvements to save
energy.
Methodology
Survey of facility and collection of data: The
essential element of an accurate energy audit is
data collection. Basic data concerning the overall
energy consumption, its cost and production figures
for a period of preceding three years were
collected. These figures were compared to give a
trend of energy consumption and its cost per unit
production over the years.
The pre-planning walk through the plant to
identify major energy saving components for
familiarizing the energy and material flow. It
includes the study of old drawings available and
benefits be installing new instruments.
Data analysis: The existing record of energy
consumption should be reviewed. The energy
consumption and production figures available can
be refined to an appropriate form.
Identification of areas with higher potential of
conservation: Identification of energy conserving
opportunities which takes care of different probable
ways by which energy consumption of or energy
wastage can be minimized. During the study of
energy conservation opportunities, some of the
components or equipments as a whole may be
replaced by more efficient one are noted.
Determining standards and setting a target: To
be able to monitor the energy consumption
precisely, it requires standard against which it can
be compared.
Prioritization of the implementation plans: After
satisfactory analysis of each energy conserving
opportunities. The benefits are to be compared and
the recommendations for adoption of energy
conservation opportunity have to be made on
priority basis.
Energy audit report: The entire analysis has to be
presented in the form of Energy Audit Report for
practical implementation to achieve.
Conclusion
An earnest measures are to be implemented to
mitigate the crisis. It should aim at all possible
avenues for new sources and on the other hand it
31
st
should seriously adopt energy conservation
measures. Energy Audit is an effective tool in
pursuing energy management program. Energy
Audit is considered as one of the comprehensive
methods in checking the energy usage and
wastage in buildings.
Scope for future Work
The authorities have to make it mandatory in some
cases, for all the Industries & Organizations. With
the introduction of Advanced Metering & Controlling
equipments, a sophisticated system tool should be
developed in this aspect to collect and process the
data.

Introduction
The aim of the project is to design a rear entertainment
DVD system to be used in cars. This project describes
how the next generation rear seat entertainment
systems work and implements the basic part of it. The
main difference is the presence of a soft-core
processor embedded inside the FPGA unlike the
present generation where in the processor is outside
the FPGA.
31
st
The project has four main entities namely the Altera
DE2 board containing the Cyclone II FPGA, ADC
TVP5150, I
2
C protocol and DAC along with the
software tool Quartus II to develop the NIOS II soft-
core processor on the FPGA and to make it
communicate with the ADC and DAC.
Methodology
In todays vehicles, electronics plays a major role.
As many as 40-50 electronics ICs are used in cars
for the application like Engine control,
Instrumentation cluster, Driver, Safety,
Entertainment, etc. Entertainment is playing vital
role and rear seat entertainment is a booming
market. Every car having the rear seat LCD display.
Hence this project is designed, FPGA based low
cost rear seat entrtainment DVD systems. Low cost
and flexible RSE can be embedded into any car.
Altera FPGA with NIOS II softcore processor is
used in this design. The processor is used to
control the peripherals and for image processing
purposes.
The same design / concept is used for the rear
zone visual system, Lane detection, precision
parking etc. with very little peripheral devices.
Conclusion
The RSES was designed and a picture frame with
resolution of 525 x 525 was obtained. It was found
that the contrast, brightness and hue controlling
capabilities were limited due to the low resolution
ADC used in the application. Implementation of
compression algorithms would have improved the
quality of the picture as well as made a better use
of the NIOS II processor which is now being used
only as a basic processor for configuring and
controlling the peripherals.
A higher resolution preferably a 24 bit ADC which
has a single dedicated processor for each of the
three color codes (RGB) would have drastically
improved the quality of the picture.

Introduction
The Project implements the Wireless technique and
provides the easiest automation to the railway
department. The history reveals two important works in
this field viz.,
The Project is Wireless Signaling, means the Go-
On [green light] and STOP [red light] signals are
send through wireless technique to the arriving
train. Due to smog, or cloudy weather or bad light
or negligence of train operator, if the train did not
stop at the signaling point, then it will be stopped
automatically by deactivating the train engine.
The IR ID System For Railways, which provides
unique ID to each train. When both trains run on
same track, the sensors fitted on the top of the
both train engines senses that another train is
coming on the same track. Then both trains
exchange the information and immediately stop
the engine to avoid the collision.
Objectives
GPS uses three satellites to find the location of
locomotives. The GPS module measures the
distances of it with respect to satellites and
calculate its exact position in terms of angular
position. This calculated position and feedback of
the sensors are send to ground station periodically
using GSM modem in the form of SMS.

Methodology
This Project intends to detect any malfunction in the
locomotive and enables a remote user to monitor and
control the locomotive over the GSM network
An AT89S52 microcontroller is interfaced via ADC to
temperature sensor to retrieve the engine temperature.
Similarly odometer sensor monitors the speed of the
locomotive. This information is processed and sends
to a GSM modem with AT commands and the tri-
laterated longitude and longitude value are also
transmitted via this modem in sort message format.
31
st
The short message can be received on predefined
GSM cellular phone. The module also monitors the
status of the driver with the help of an interrupt
switch and sends it via GSM modem. If the base
station operator detects any inaccuracy he can
rectify the same by sending specified short
message.
Conclusion
Using GPS, from which it get the exact location and
through GSM and get instant messages to the
mobile, so that it can monitor the train. Data like
temperature and speed are both sent to the
receiver.
Future Work
Complete automation using satellite.
It can be implemented in unmanned aircrafts.
Accidents can be avoided by using two way
communications.

Introduction
Generating the bill for the power consumed by each
customer is a very difficult task which requires lot of
man power where in the service provider should
send his men to each and every customer to issue
the bill. Also the traditional electro mechanical
meters, still widely used and are prone to drift over
temperature and time as a result of mechanical
nature of the components in the meter. The
problem worsens further in collecting the meter
readings and generating the bill. A method of
automatic bill generation at the customers place at
the end of every month is suggested in this project.
Along with this additional facility like knowing the
power consumed till any instant as desired by the
customer that allows him to keep a check on the
power consumption is also included. Using a
telecommunication system, intimation about the
nonpayment of the bill by the customer and
disconnection of the power on overdue can be
made by the master station.
Aim of the project
This project deals with an implementation of an
intelligent embedded system which measures the
power drawn, automatically generates the bill, prints
the same and disconnects the power with an overdue
notice.
A display unit is provided to display the day to day
power usage and the bill for the power utilized. At
some defined instances a hard copy of the bill can be
taken out using the printer interfaced. GSM modem is
used for the purpose of setting up a good
communication channel between the master station
and the customer unit.
Objectives
Generate the bill at the customers place
Set up a good communication channel between
the main station and the customer unit
Improve billing accuracy
Enhance customer service on billing and service
issues and a substantial savings from misread or
inaccurate readings.
Save the cooperative expense in meter reading
which include employee salaries and
transportation costs
Save service providers time in meter reading and
bill calculations
To provide more detailed information such as
power consumption and reducing high bill
complaints.
Methodology
WADEY meter is the system which automatically
generates the bill at the customers place and also
provides a wireless means of communication between
the main station and the customer. Accurate
information of energy usage and also automate the
process of measurement through digital
communication techniques details will be available.
The system also saves employee trips, and in the case
of estimates, billing can be based on actual
consumption rather than on an estimate based on
previous consumption, giving customers better control
of their use of electric energy.
In this project a high accuracy electrical energy
measurement IC ADE7757 is used and it is a Analog
Devices for measuring the power consumed. The
ADE7757 supplies the power consumed in the form of
pulses. These output pulses may be used to directly
drive an electromechanical counter or interface with an
MCU which can be used to count the number of
pulses. Using the pulse count value the amount of
power consumed is calculated and the bill will be
displayed. Also a GSM modem is used as the wireless
communication system between the main station and
the customer. This is used for data transmission such
as changes in tariff per unit of power consumed,
31
st
intimation about the nonpayment of the bill and
instructions for disconnection of power on overdue
from main station.
Conclusions
Major developments and projects in the field of
remote metering are in progress, involving various
research and development programs such as
PLCs, application of the system on large
databases, utilization of the necessary
communication links, and others. The use of GSM
in the project that system provides numerous
advantages over the methods that have been
previously used. The use of metering IC ensures an
accurate and reliable measurement of the power
consumed. The cost effective transmission makes
readings more frequently available to the main
station. The implications of this are that the energy
demand patterns can be thoroughly studied.
The group tried to explain that how WADEY meter
can play a vital role in managing electrical energy. It
is found to be the best alternative to the present
existing meter reading system. It will be
instrumental in avoiding energy wastage caused
due to lack of proper management and will be a
very good solution for the prevailing energy crisis.
The meter can further be enhanced whereby bill
can be paid at the customers end itself using the
GPRS channel.

Introduction
The personal identification/verification systems
utilizing personal biometric features, such as, face,
voice, fingerprint, iris pattern, etc. are attracting a
lot of attention. Among them, face recognition
seems to be the most natural and effective method
to identify a person since it is the same as the way
human does and there is no need to use special
equipments. In face recognition, personal facial
feature extraction is the key to creating more robust
systems.
This index number information was paid attention
and it was found that a code vector histogram,
which is obtained by counting the matching frequency
of individual code vector, contains very effective facial
feature information. By utilizing this technique, a novel
face recognition algorithm called VQ histogram
method has been developed.
A codebook is very important since it directly affects
the quality of VQ processing. In VQ codebook space
information processing, a special codebook was used,
which is systematically organized for 2x2 blocks with
code vectors having monotonic intensity variation
without DC component.

Recognition Result
Conclusion
It fairly uses systems like this to track the movements
of people in a small town without their permission and
misuse the information.
Applications
In educational institution for replacement of the
attendance register.
In advanced fields such as Robotics for identifying
people or objects to perform the corresponding
action.
In detection of criminals at public places, where it
attempts to recognize faces of known criminals in
a real-time footage from cameras dispersed
throughout the city.
Face recognition system can be implemented to
make the login more secure, by considering it as a
secondary security measure.
In checking for criminal records from the national
criminal database.
31
st
Enhancement of security by using surveillance
cameras in conjunction with face recognition
system.
Scope for Improvements
An improvement can be done on performing this
recognition not only on captured image but also on
moving image, which would further decrease
execution time.

Introduction
Optical Character Recognition, usually abbreviated
as OCR, is a type of computer software designed
to translate images of handwritten or typewritten
text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-
editable text, or to translate pictures of characters
into a standard encoding scheme representing
them (e.g. ASCII or Unicode). OCR began as a
field of research in pattern recognition, artificial
intelligence and machine vision. Though academic
research in the field continues, the focus on OCR
has shifted to implementation of proven
techniques.
Optical character recognition (using optical
techniques such as mirrors and lenses) and digital
character recognition (using scanners and
computer algorithms) were originally considered
separate fields. "Intelligent" systems with a high
degree of recognition accuracy for most fonts are
now common. Some systems are even capable of
reproducing formatted output that closely
approximates the original scanned page including
images, columns and other non-textual
components.
Recognition of variously deformed character
patterns is one of the salient features of optical
character recognition. The methods used for
recognition of broken characters previously where
less efficient, because no effort was done to mend
the broken characters and hence produced poor
recognition results.
Objectives
Develop a methodology to increase the
efficiency in results.
To find the borders of the image, then fills the
inner border which provides greater reliability.
To provide better and efficient result for
recognizing the character.
Depending upon the feature classifiers, the test
character is compared with the standard data
base and results are obtained accordingly.
The restoration of the character to be done.
Methodology
1. Image Extraction:
2. Preprocessing and border following algorithm:

Figure : Center of the character
3. Extraction of data:
4. Creation of an Ideal Database
5. Character Recognition
6. Character Restoration.

Results
In this method special masks are used to remove pixel
discontinuities in the image of numerals. Statistical
features of the characters such as character centroid
and its mean distance from the pixels on the contour,
normalized distance function, normalized area and
other such features are used to find the similarity
between input character with that of standard data
base. A data base for 26 characters is taken as a
standard reference.10 samples of each character with
different scratch rates were tested and the results are
tabulated. Each character has different recognition.
Overall efficiency for the same broken digits using
mending and then statistical method for recognition
yielded a better result of 73.21%
Overall efficiency for the same broken digits using
border following algorithm and statistical method for
recognition is 84.16%
31
st
Conclusions
1. The character mending algorithm is a very
effective and flexible method to deal with the
broken characters. It can fix various kinds of
broken characters, if the number of broken
pixels is smaller than the number of non-broken
pixels in mending masks. This algorithm has no
effect on the pixels that do not need mending.
2. The combined use of mending masks with
different sizes and the repeated use of the
same mask can fix some seriously broken
characters. Experiments shows that using this
algorithm, the recognition rate can be improved
substantially.
3. The recognition rate of statistical method has
increased about 11% after using the broken-
character mending algorithm. The recognition
rate before and after using the algorithm are
73.21% and 84.16%, respectively.
The efficiency of mending and recognition can
be increased by extracting more features from
the characters and hence characters with more
variations such as alignment and rotation
variations can be recognized.
Incorporate the recognition of lower-case
alphabets also.
This approach can be extended for the
recognition of words, sentences and
documents by implementation of segmentation
techniques.
The database structure shall be improved by
associating with every characteristic vector,
the corresponding alphabet and font.
User interface can be developed.

Introduction
Steganography is the art of covered or hidden
writing. The purpose of steganography is convert
communication to hide a message from a third
party. This differs from cryptography, the art of
secret writing, which is intended to make a
message unreadable by a third party but does not
hide the existence of the secret communication.
Steganography is beneficial for securely storing
sensitive data, such as hiding system keys within other
files. In images and videos the noise that is appended
in the digital document are apparent and can get easily
decoded. But in the case of audio steganography the
noise is obvious and is quite difficult to make out the
stegano noise from the actual noise.
Analog steganography presents an alternative storage
medium in audio cassettes. The audio cassettes have
longer life and not vulnerable like the floppy drives.
Beside they protect the data as no one other then the
steganographer can extract the data from the
cassettes. The cassettes are new formats and hence
they would not be affected by the common threats like
the virus threats.
The digital steganography method can be used to
carry the files in digital player like the i-pods which
protects from any un-authenticated access.
Objective
To find a method to hide data behind digital audio files
as well as analog audio files.
Methodology
Data can be protected by either cryptography or
steganography. Cryptography is a way to change the
data itself where as the steganography is a way to
hide the entire data itself in any form of digital medium
like audio and video.
Classification of audio documents as bearing hidden
information or not is a security issue addressed in the
context of steganalysis. A cover audio object can be
converted into a stego-audio object via steganographic
methods. The group presented a method to hide data
behind digital audio files as well as analog audio files.
Applications
Data confidentiality over the network. To protect
the data against unauthorized use.
To protect the data in the single system.
To transfer confidential messages and convey
secret messages.
In the military applications.
The analog steganography can be used as an
alternative storage.
The project can be integrated with digital players
like the mp3 player and such players can be used
as a data drive.

Introduction
Smart cards are playing an integral role in these
new payment strategies. Smartcards provide
increased security, enable more distributed
processing and provide a variety of communication
options .In these implementations, the parking
operator issues (and reissues) the smart cards,
manages retail outlets (where they exist) manages
cardholders queries, reloads the cards (where this
is possible), and manages the entire card system
automatically.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an
automatic identification method, relying on storing
and remotely retrieving data using devices called
RFID tags or transponders.
In this project RFID module consists of a receiver
and a transmitter .The Rf transmitter is fixed to the
vehicle and the Rf receiver is attached to Control
unit of the gate .the radio waves is being
transmitted continuously from the Rf transmitter
fixed in the vehicle but gets detected when there is
Rf receiver close by. The RF antenna after
receiving the signal from the transmitter antenna
sends it to the decoder; the decoder now decodes
the signal and verifies the signal frequency with the
pre-stored frequency. If it is matched the gate is
opened. Thus RFID grants access to the authorized
vehicles, and provides security.
Objectives
To use automatic parking payment strategies with
less human involvement. The entry/exit and
payment for parking is managed by control unit in
this project. The system allows the vehicle owner to
do his payment through a smart card and gain
entry/exit. This type of parking system can be
implemented in Hospitals, Apartments, Shopping
malls, and Vehicle Servicing Stations. Further, this
project is enhanced to allow owners vehicles
automatically using RFID.
Methodology
The project aims at developing a parking system
where the user given a smart card which holds the
vehicle number, password and recharge amount. All
the information present in smart card can be changed
any time by an authorized dealer. The amount present
in the card can be recharged anytime by the user.
Whenever the user goes to the shopping mall or a
hospital which has this kind of a parking system and
holds the user data in the database provided by the
PC, he/she is allowed to use the smart card and is
called a valid user.
The user swipes the card into the reader slot provided
to it and waits for the PC to check the status of the
card and its validation. Once the card is found valid, a
message is displayed on the LCD display that the user
is a valid user. Next the user is given an option to open
the door.
Block Diagram

At the exit gate also same procedure is followed and
an additional computation is also done. A suitable
amount is calculated for using the parking space in the
mall or hospital and the amount is deducted from the
card accordingly.
Also, in this project there is RFID module which
consists of a receiver and a transmitter .The Rf
transmitter is fixed to the vehicle and the Rf receiver is
attached to Control unit of the gate .RFID here grants
access automatically to the authorized vehicles as
soon as the signal is detected. This can be used for
the owners vehicle who can gain entry without having
to swipe the card. This way the owner need not pay
parking charges for his own building
To use automatic parking payment strategies with less
human involvement. The entry/exit and payment for
parking is managed by control unit in this project.
Further the project can be enhanced to indicate the
number of slots available for parking, and also which
slot is free for parking. This can be done by using
sensors at each and every slot.

Introduction
In general, passengers records in transportation
are currently paper based. They are often compiled
in an ad-hoc manner, with recorded details varying
between conductors. This project details a solution
that attempts to efficient transportation records by
merging RFID and database technologies. The
solution standardizes the recorded data and
provides a database that can be accessed by
authorized personnel.
Current systems offer solutions whereby the
passengers data is held on the RFID tag, which
restricts the amount of passengers data that can
be stored, due to limited memory on the tag. The
RFID tag will only store a unique Personal
Identification Number (PIN). This identifies the
passengers records within the web-based
database. The main purpose of this project is to
free the passenger equipped with electronic card
from prior ticket purchase. The reader installed on
each vehicle automatically detects the card and
registers the entry and exit time. This information is
used for fare collecting and billing system.
Objectives
A fare collection concept is based on active
transponder technology is the main concept of the
study. This allows efficient registration of passenger
trips in place of inaccurate manual counting of
passengers in the vehicles, giving transportation
companies precise car occupancy statistics.
Methodology
This concept helps companies optimize their
infrastructure with better vehicle distribution.
Passengers equipped with an electronic card can
board vehicles without prior ticket purchase.
Equipment installed on each vehicle automatically
detects the card and registers the passengers
entry and exit locations. The collected datawhich
contains the card and vehicle identification, stops
names, and time stampsis then forwarded from
the vehicle to a fare calculation and billing system.
Passengers need to carry the card in their pockets or
luggage during the trip, and the whole access control
process is executed unnoticeably.
The main advantage of active transponders is the
ability to communicate over a long distance at high
data rates, as compared to passive transponders. The
main difference between the active and the passive
transponder is the power activation, that is, with or
without a battery. Obviously, the drawback stands in
the active part of the tag, which implies the use of a
dry-cell-type battery. This drawback can be bypassed
if the circuit is designed in such a way that the battery
life duration exceeds the tags lifetime, ensuring a
reliable communication link.
Results and conclusion
Using RFID tags represents the most reliable, efficient
and effective method of fare collection. This system
can efficiently be used to overcome the problems
encountered by the usual fare collection systems
which rely on paper tickets, bar codes or any
contacting smart cards.
Other than fare collection, this system can even be
extended over many areas as follows:
Biomedical application.
Office automation.
Animal tracing.
Infant wrist-bands.

Introduction
Due to their infectious characteristics, management of
biomedical waste is of utmost concern in public life. As
per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of
Environment and Forests, Govt. of India, these wastes
have to be handled properly, right from collection,
segregation, transportation, treatment and disposal.
Care should always be taken not to mix the biomedical
waste with other solid waste. The present study
involves studying the current situation of biomedical
waste management in Chikmagalur city.
31

Objectives
It is proposed to estimate the quantum of
biomedical waste generation, quality analysis of the
waste, followed by disposal systems adopted and
to assess the situation of the biomedical waste
management practices in the study area.
Methodology
The city of Chikmagalur has a population of
105,000 and the study was undertaken for the
hospitals within the city limits. The study period was
from January 2008 to March 2008. The city has 11
hospitals, 41 clinics and 3 laboratories. For data
collection on waste generation and existing
practice, a questionnaire (format) was developed
and used in the survey. The waste was classified
into three categories viz. hospital waste which
includes the total waste generated (incl. canteen,
office etc.); medical waste which is a part of
hospital waste and is the waste generated from
patient diagnosis, treatment etc. and the potentially
infectious waste (part of medical waste) which has
the potential to infect the humans and animals. The
data collected was tabulated and analysed.
Conclusions
The biomedical waste management (BMW) in
Chikmagalur city was not properly managed as per
BMW rules. The BMW in private hospitals was
better than that in the Government Hospitals.
Waste segregation standard is very poor and needs
to be improved. Many private clinics are not at all

Introduction
A wheelchair is a mobility device in which the user
sits. The device is propelled either manually (by
compelling the wheels by hands) or via various
automated systems. Wheelchairs are used by people
for whom walking is difficult or impossible due to
illness (mental or physical), injury or disability.
The movement of a person is solved by an application
using automation in a conventional wheel chair. This
project helps for a person whose hands are also
disabled. So if the occupier can move their head they
can control the wheel chairs direction and even can
bring it to standstill when not needed, with a sudden
response from the motor. Without any others help it
can be achieved.
Objective
To develop a user friendly and economical device
which can help the disabled who even cannot use
either of their hands to operate wheelchair.
Methodology
The two batteries of 6V each have been connected in
series in order to run two DC motors. One of which is
mounted to front wheel for direction controlling. The
other motor is placed at the rear side of the wheelchair
in order to run the rear wheels for the movement and
to ensure safety of the user, the wheelchair is provided
with forward movement only. Since the DC motors will
be having high speed and low torque and we need
vice-versa. To increase the torque a reduction gear is
used which is of the ratio 1:20 and coupled
perpendicularly to the motor armature shaft. The two
batteries of 6V each have been connected in series in
order to run two DC motors.
The head gadget is provided with three micro switches
(mechanical sensors) which are reliable and available
for low cost. Among these three switches one is for the
forward movement controlling, one for controlling the
left directional movement and the other for controlling
right directional movement.
These sensors are connected to three separate relays
(electromagnetic switches), which checks the signals
sent by the mechanical sensors to the motor. The
relays used are of Double Pole Single Through
(DPST).
For ease of use to the disabled person, this wheel
chair is provided with an alternative controlling device
that is, joystick. This is made parallel with the switches
of head movement gadgets and is in turn connected to
the relays for switching action for the motor.
The battery used is of rechargeable and it can run for
almost 3 hours with one full charge at a constant
speed of 1.1 Km / hour. This constant speed is
maintained to impart safety. Wheelchair is not
provided with reverse movement to avoid any
accidents due to backside non visibility.
31
st

The designed wheelchair can carry a load upto 90
Kg, both in plane surface and even at 30
0
inclinations at a speed of 1.1Km/hr. To ensure
safety the wheelchair is not provided with a reverse
movement and at a constant speed. It can be
turned only through forward movement. The
motorized wheelchairs available in the market
ranges between Rs. 12,000 to 1 lakhs but, the one
which is fabricated with a new designing concept
and costs around Rs. 8,000 only. As the technology
is innovative and it can even be used by the
patients who have undergone paralytic stroke and
have lost the power of hands too.
The motorized wheelchair has shown good results
in regard to its constructional simplicity and
operational ease. The machine has also shown
some difficulty in moving in very steep gradient.
The machine nevertheless, can be improved
further. Two speed gear arrangement in between
the pulley of the motor and the shaft, the low speed
gear can be engaged during the movement of the
wheelchair over a gradient. This would lead to easy
movement of the wheelchair over an inclined
surface.
The reverse movement of the wheelchair can be
provide with a sensor that could sense the
obstacles behind and avoid any possible accidents.
The head movement for side turning can be timed
or some delay could be adjusted for avoiding any
sudden movement. A DC voltage regulator can be
installed, so that the speed of the wheelchair can
be varied as per once wish.

Introduction
Secure Communication Networks promise a very a
good alternative to dedicated secured networks, that is
cheap, secure and easily implemented. However, on
of the trade offs is the network performance. The
increase in processing load due to
encryption/decryption, affects the data throughput of
the network. This concept looks into an experimental
deployment of a network and implement a secure
communication network on it, using two standard
tunneling protocols: IPSec and SSH. It then compares
the performances of the two setups.
The project which is done deals with the security
systems and is termed as Secure Communication
Network (SCN). This project provides solution
regarding security systems through which confidential
folders or information can be easily send to the
manager (Project Leader) of the company.
The project consists of three modules: ADMIN,
CLIENT, REMOTE ACCESS.
ADMIN is administrator of the company who manages
the company and deals with every problem.
CLIENTS are the employees who work under the
Admin and perform the task as requested by the
Admin.
Using the REMOTE ACCESS module two private
networks can also communicate through the public
network. In this generic module data will be send from
one private network to another network using the
encryption mechanism.
The software used to build SCN is JAVA,J2EE, and
SQL Server. JAVA, J2EE is a high level programming
language which has got special features in it, which
made us to build our project using JAVA, J2EE.
Conclusion
This project will be useful for the people working in the

Introduction
TCP provides a reliable transport layer. One of the
ways it provides reliability is for each end to
acknowledge the data it receives from the other
end. But data segments and acknowledgments can
get lost. TCP handles this in two ways. One ways is
by setting a timeout when it sends data, and if the
data isn't acknowledged when the timeout expires,
it retransmits the data. The second way is fast
retransmission, if the sender gets three duplicate
acknowledgements before the timer could expire, it
immediately retransmits the packet for which
duplicate acknowledgements were received without
waiting for the timer to expire.
Objectives
Internet topology contains path diversity. While only
one end-to-end path is used. The measurement
study found that 30% to 80% of the time, an
alternate path with lower loss or smaller delay
exists. In a measurement study of a large ISP, it
was found that almost 90% of pairs of Point-of-
Presences (PoPs) have at least four link-disjoint
paths between them.
The objective of this project is to address the problem
of Packet Reordering and hence facilitate deployment
of Multipath Routing in future.
Methodology
Routers typically drop packets when their queue is full.
Consider a dropped packet (p
i
) and its preceding (p
i-1
)
packet; p
i-1
was the last packet to be put into the queue
before the next packets i.e. pi would be dropped.
Being the last one in the queue, it would have an RTT
much larger than the average RTT value. Thus, by
observing the RTT values would be in a position to
predict loss with substantial accuracy. In this algorithm
we keep track of RTT, Exponential Weighted
Moving Average (EWMA) of the difference in RTTs of
packets corresponding two successively received
ACKs.
Data consisting of 1000,5000,10000 and 15000
packets are collected. Two graphs have been plotted
using the collected data. They are:
Number of Packets correctly predicted(Y-axis) as
lost V/S Number of Packets lost(X-axis)
Number of Packets correctly predicted(Y-axis) as
not lost V/S Number of Packets not lost(X-axis)
Accuracy rate of prediction of lost packet as lost
(Accuracy 1)
Accuracy rate of prediction of a not lost packet as
not lost (Accuracy 2)
The range and average Accuracy rates are as given
bellow
Accuracy1
Range: [47.33%, 73.98%]
Average value = 53.77%
Accuracy2
Range: [49.35%, 60.64%]
Average value = 54.61%
It can be concluded that, the Implementation of the
proposed algorithm would reduce around 50% false
retransmissions of TCP. But, there would be increase
in number of timeouts because of false negatives
(prediction of lost packet as not lost)
Immediate extension of this project would be to do
more rigorous simulations using ns2. Further one can
go on to write a Linux patch for the same.

Introduction
Recognition is a generic term, and does not
necessarily imply either verification or identification.
All biometric systems perform recognition to
again know a person who has been previously
enrolled. There are two different ways to recognize
a person: verification and identification. Verification
(Am I who I claim I am?) involves confirming or
denying a person's claimed identity. On the other
hand, in identification, the system has to recognize
a person (Who am I?) from a list of N users in the
template database. Identification is a more
challenging problem because it involves 1: N
matching compared to 1:1 matching for verification.
Objective
This project focuses on using the fundamentals of
digital signal processing to bring about optimized
solutions. Image recognition is the process of
automatically recognizing the person on basis of
individual information stored in the form of image
pixels. This project emphasizes on person
identification with face as the biometric parameter.

Fig. 1. Face Recognition Technique
Methodology
The different approaches of face recognition system
along with its principles.
1. Pixel to Pixel Comparison
2. Principle Component Analysis(PCA)
3. Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) analysis
In proposed model of face recognition dimension
reduction is achieved through decimation algorithm
and then DCT is applied which exhibits large variance
distribution in a small number of coefficients and much
of the signal energy lies in low frequencies; these
appear in the upper left corner of the DCT.
DCT of the normalized decimated face image is
computed and a certain subset of low-to-mid
frequency coefficients having the highest variance is
retained as a feature vector which describes face.
DCT technique is based on pattern recognition for
boundary condition .It involves generating DCT
coefficients which have high energy packing
properties. Since it requires only few coefficients it is
easier to extract them using matlab and finally these
values are stored in DSP and used for recognition
procedure. Therefore it is more effective to implement
in DSP
Conclusion
Automatic face recognition system is designed and
developed using DSP hardware. Before using DSP
hardware the concept was tested in MATLAB.
Advantages
1. The use of a DSP processor accelerates the
performance of the system in terms of processing
speed, efficiency etc.
2. There is no requirement for any form of typed
code. Hence the system cannot be hacked easily.
3. The system is extremely versatile and portable.
4. The scope and applications of the project is
tremendous and it can be extended into everyday
lives as well.
Future Scope
Color images would be even more effective. For the
consideration of color images the 3D analysis of the
images is required. Also, if the daughter card is used
to input the images in to DSP then it is possible to
implement eigenface technique in DSP which is many
ways better than DCT analysis.

Introduction
Coal, oil, gas and nuclear energy are the major
sources of primary energy. The raising prices and
depleting reserves of these sources, is driving the
human to search for alternate method of energy
production. Biomass gasification is one of the
biomass conversion technologies to produce a
combustible gas mixture using agro residues. The
conventional biomass gasifier involves the
processes of drying, heating, pyrolysing, partial
oxidation and finally reduction, as the feed passes
through it. The gas so produced (producer gas),
can be used only for cooking purposes and as fuel
in IC engines, due to hydrogen content (18-20%)
and CO (18-24%).
The conventional gasifier systems include updraft
gasifier, downdraft gasifier, fluidized bed gasifier
and crossdraft gasifier. Hybrid gasifier is a
combination of updraft and downdraft techniques,
which allows for dual air exit ports to extract the
producer gas.
Objectives
To produce an energy efficient and high quality gas
for both thermal and engine applications, using
biomass.
Experimental Setup
A working model of hybrid gasifier was fabricated
for a wood capacity of 8.3 kg and designed for a
wood consumption rate of 4.3 kg/ hour. The unit
had essential parts like throat, hopper, grate,
shaking mechanism, ash pit, airflow suppliers and
controls, tuyers, gas outlet ports etc. Gasifier was
filled with charcoal in the burning zone and wood
pieces in the main chamber without leaving any
spaces. Primary and secondary pipes were
connected to the blower. Gasifier was fired at
nozzles and the primary valve is opened to supply
air so that coal in burning zone catches fire and
radiates heat into the upper zones to crack the
woody biomass into a clean burning fuel.
Production of producer gas confirmed by a flame at
the flaring port. The gasifier was operated for three
modes viz. updraft, downdraft and the combined
mode (hybrid mode) to assess the mass flow rates
of three different types of fuel viz. normal wood,
charcoal and packing wood.
The continuous operation of the gasifier indicated that
the developed model can act both as updraft and
downdraft gasifier. The combined mode still requires
some more work in the form of air redirection within the
combustion zone so that a sustained reduction zone
exists simultaneously above and below the
combustion zone. As the system was able to support
the reduction zone either above or below the
combustion zone, but not simultaneously.

Introduction
Due to the increasing demand for energy by way of
industrialization and population explosion and
depleting primary sources of energy, there is an urgent
need to develop alternate energy sources. Energy
generation using biomass is one such alternate source
of energy and is getting wide importance in the recent
days. Agriwastes like rice straw, saw dust, sugarcane
trash, coir pith, peanut shells, cotton seeds, bagasse,
waste wood etc. are known sources of biomass energy
materials. On the basis of calorific value, the
agriwastes can be comparable to coal. In addition to
the above, an effort of using areca nut shells and
areca nut powder as an energy material is being tried
in the present study.
Objectives
Production of Biomass Briquettes using Areca Nut
Shells and Areca Nut Powder
Areca nut powder, areca nut shells and other
agriwastes (except wood) of low bulk densities were
collected. The direct use of these materials in energy
production is inconvenient and also uneconomical. For
that, these materials need to be processed. Initially, all
the agriwastes were dried to reduce the moisture
content to less than 5%. Then all the waste products
were cut into small sizes. The areca nut shells and the
areca nuts were taken and finely ground. The ground
31
st
powder was sieved to separate powder of 800 ,
650 , 425 , 300 and fine powder. By taking the
powder of a particular size in 1:1 ratio, briquettes
were formed. Similarly, with varying ratio of areca
nut shell powder and areca nut powder also,
briquettes were formed. The briquettes were cut
into uniform size and combusted in an oven. After
complete combustion, the ash content and calorific
value were determined and the results were
tabulated.
Areca nut shell and areca nut powder based
biomass gives higher CV fuel. Abundantly available
agriwastes can be used effectively for power
generation, after briquetting.

and a glass funnel structure which is inverted in a
glass beaker. A eudiometer tube with graduations on it
is placed inverted on the neck of the funnel. The whole
setup is made to be immersed in HCl and Mg ribbons
are dropped inside the funnel. Reaction occurred and
hydrogen was collected at the top of the eudiometer
tube. The amount of hydrogen collected was checked
using the graduations marked on the test tube.

intrinsically clean for all end-use applications.
Hydrogen can be obtained from the acid-metal
reaction.

Introduction
Current cylinder pressure models are
computationally demanding and it is not yet
possible to simulate or to have an observer for the
cylinder pressure online in conventional engine
control units. Therefore, computationally simple
models for cylinder pressure in combustion engines
needs to be developed. Here a simulation model is
developed and validated for the cylinder pressure of
a spark ignited engine which is computationally
tractable since it does not require a numerical
solution of the ordinary differential equations and
can thus be used online.
One of the key ideas behind the model here is
based on the observation that the ideal Otto cycle
provides valuable information about the
compression and expansion process. These two
processes are seen in the real measured pressure
traces under normal operating conditions. The real
cycle is similar to the ideal Otto cycle and the
similarities are largest early in the compression and
late in the expansion. It is characterized by the
compression and expansion process which are well
defined by the states of the fluid.
The model is described using measurements readily
available in production engines and using a set of
tuning parameters that have physical interpretations
and are closely connected to the ideal Otto cycle.
Methodology
The simulated pressure traces P() is built up by two
process pressure traces and an interpolation between
these. (Refer fig 1)
The cylinder pressure model is divided into three
parts:
The compression process is well described by a
polytropic process. The polytropic process also
encapsulates the heat transfer, so that there is no
need to explicitly include the heat transfer in the
model.
The expansion process is also well described by a
polytropic process. The reference point for
expansion temperature and pressure is calculated
using a constant volume combustion process.

Figure 1. Cylinder Pressure v/s Crank Angle (Model Description)

Spark advance control deals with determination of the
engine position where the spark plug shall ignite the
air-fuel mixture and start the combustion. Engine
efficiency and emissions are directly affected by the
spark advance, due to its influence on the in-cylinder
pressure. The purpose of the engine (and combustion)
is to produce work and the optimal spark advance is
here defined as the spark advance that gives
maximum work if all other parameters are held
constant.
Simulation Model for Cylinder Pressure is developed
based on the model description shown in figure 1.
Moreover, the methodology is as follows.
31
st
Pressure traces during compression process
Adiabatic flame temperature
Pressure traces during expansion process

Figure 2: Pressure v/s Volume
Mass fraction burned
Pressure traces during combustion process
Empirical Rules for Optimal Spark Advance
There exists several empirical rules that relates
variables deduced from the pressure trace to the
optimal spark advance.
Peak Pressure Concept
A spark-advance control algorithm that maintains a
constant peak pressure position (PPP) is therefore
close to optimum. This scheme has been validated
and used.
Mass fraction burned (MFB)
Another possibility for describing the position of the
combustion is to use the mass fraction burned
profile. Heywood states that with optimal spark
timing half of the charge is burned (50% mass
fraction burned) about 10
0
after TDC. Other
possible measures of good combustion could be
the positions for 30% or 90% mass fraction
Pressure ratio management
Peak Pressure Concept as the combustion descrip-
tor to establish maximum brake torque timing was
used to get the results.

Fig 3: Mass Fraction Burned v/s Crank Angle
Results and Discussions
The simulation model developed using a C program is
capable of predicting the change in pressure during
the process of combustion to acceptable level of
confidence. The model assumes that the pressure Is
constant during the process of intake and exhaust
strokes, since there is no much restriction to gas flow
during intake and exhaust process.
The optimum ignition timing has been established
based on the peak pressure concept. It has been
found that the ignition timing are optimum at 15
0
and
for a load of 2.5 N and it is 18
0
for a load of 4.5 N.

Introduction
This project, VYOMA, is about design of a model
aircraft for competition purposes and was carried out
by six students. This involved design and fabrication a
model which is expected to perform a specified flight
mission. This project is to provide experience in project
planning and constructive team interaction.
Objective
To design and construct a remote controlled, fixed
wing aircraft which can lift maximum weight. The
design must follow 2008 Aero Design Rules, set forth
by the SAE, which include a standardized OS 0.61 FX
engine, maximum total weight of 25 kg and the
maximum sum total of the length, width and height of
4.445 meters and should perform a specified flight
mission.
Methodology
1. Overall Vehicle Configuration consisted the
following components:
Wing: A rectangular wing with a selig 1223 airfoil, a
wing span of 2.286 meter and an aspect ratio of
6.43. The angle of attack and the dihedral were set
to zero and two degrees respectively.
Fuselage: The fuselage was designed to have
sufficient strength and light weight. The entire
airframe was made of Balsa with reinforcements
using paper veneer throughout and additional
reinforcements at selected locations.
Landing gear: A tricycle gear made of fiber glass
with two main wheels aft of the center of gravity was
chosen so that the aircraft is stable on the ground.
31
st
Rear stabilizers: Considering the strength,
simplicity and ease of manufacturing, flat plates
with conventional configuration were chosen for
the horizontal and vertical stabilizers.
Payload Bay: The payload plates were bolted
directly to the inner surface of the fuselage
exactly below the wing which accommodates the
required volume - 5.0 x 5.0 x 10.0.
Engine: The engine specified for regular class is
an OS0.61 FX engine. It has a range of 2,000 to
17,000 RPM giving a maximum BHP of 1.9 HP at
16,000 RPM.
Propeller: After a series of tests for the thrust of
the engine, a 12.6 propeller was selected.
2. Performance Parameters such as (a) stall
velocity, (2) take off distance and (3) cruise
velocity were calculated, considering total take
off weight of the aircraft as 12.5 kg . It was found
the dynamic thrust available is greater than the
required value, provided the static thrust is 3.5
kg.
3. Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis was
made using ANSYS/CFX Version 11.0. The CFD
analysis was carried out only to verify the flow
pattern and not to determine the magnitude of
aerodynamic forces. The flow pattern on the
fuselage and wing is as shown.

Conclusion
All the constraints have been considered while
designing the model aircraft. The analysis and
testing have been verified
The project was presented at the competition held at
Georgia, USA during April 2008. The aircraft took off
successfully and lifted a total of 7 Pounds under the
extreme weather conditions.

Introduction
The superior strength and stiffness of laminated
composites materials are used in structural and
aerospace applications only when the behavior of
these materials under different loading conditions,
fabric volume fraction is properly understood.
The fibrous composites are superior to metals with
respect to specific strength and modulus. It is
important to note that glass-fabric laminated
composites are superior to neither steel or aluminium
in specific stiffness. Keeping this in vision, the
behavior of laminated composites are characterized
for tensile, compressive, flexural, impact and hardness
strength with respect to fiber volume fraction, finer
orientation and different notch configurations.
When a laminated specimen is subjected to
mechanical testing, the energy gets absorbed leads to
damages such as delaminating, fiber breakage and
matrix cracks and also deformation perpendicular to
the direction of load. In order to reveal the fractured
surface fracture study has been carried out by the
project team.
The following steps were employed in preparation of
laminated composite specimen.
Determining the volumetric ratio
Mixing the hardener
Applying release agent to mould
Laying fabric layers using hand lay up techniques.
The hardener is poured into the resin taken in the
beaker with constant stirring, while mixing, care is
taken to avoid air inclusion and coagulation in the
mixture.
Epoxy resin has a good adhesion to surface with
which it comes in contact hence the inner surface of
31
st
moulds is coated with bioline in uniform thickness
and then the hand lay up technique is used to lay
fabric layers in the open mould.
Methodology
The test specimen is fixed tightly between the end
grips of the universal testing machine. The initial
reading of the dial gauge extensometer and vernier
scale on the vertical column of the machine was set
to zero position. Load was gradually increased with
constant crass head speed. Dial gauge and
machine scale were taken at every 20 Kg and 40
Kg until the specimen breaks.
The specimen is made up of Nylon-Epoxy-Eglass.
The dimension of the tension test specimen is
noted. The tension test standard is D3039 /D3039
M.
Conclusion
From the results it is noticed that the strength of
the composite varies linearly.
It is observed that the young modulus of the
laminates kept under hard water increases with
time period.
When these laminates are kept under soft
water for different periods the youngs modulus
has increased.

Introduction
The understanding of unsteady flow phenomenon is
of great interest in the design of nuclear reactors,
turbo-machinery, missiles, wind-crafts etc., due to
its complexity. Flow visualization method is a
technique that allows one to observe and survey
majority of the flow field, thereby facilitating the
understanding of physics of flow problem.
Experimental evaluation of Calandria reactor
(Pressurized heavy water reactor) is one such
method of flow visualization, which can be used on
a small scale.
Objective
The study of unsteady fluid flow using flow
visualization technique.
Methodology
The Calandria model representing the actual reactor
was designed with Reynolds number of 2.5 x 10
6
. A
cylindrical body of 150mm dia, having multiple inlets
(11mm size) and one single outlet of 22mm size. 13
fuel rods of 5mm dia were used in the model. To
facilitate the flow study, the model was fabricated
using transparent acrylic sheet. The model also had
necessary accessories like stand & housing (to hold
the reactor model); piping systems with water tank,
valves etc. & pump(to supply the media of flow into the
model); light source (to study the flow pattern of the
seeding material) etc. Cotton threads having specific
gravity almost equal to that of water, was chosen as
the seeding material, which is the most important
parameter in flow visualization technique.
Flow visualization studies were carried-out using 500W
halogen lamp and water as the fluid medium. The
typical flow patterns were observed with a mass flow
rate of 0.0652 kg/s and Reynolds number 25000.
Conclusions
Only some of the seeding particles were illuminated
due to lower intensity of the light source.
Formation of recirculation zone within the Calandria
was observed which gives a design setup for fuel rods
placement.

Introduction
Wireless sensor network are being used in
agriculture field to monitor the growth of plants by
monitoring different environmental parameters such
as temperature, humidity, light intensity etc. By
monitoring these parameters and taking appropriate
steps on certain unusual events the productivity of
the agriculture could be increased to a considerable
extent. The basic aim is to simulate the wireless
networking environment for agriculture application.
And design and develop the algorithm to simulate
sensor node connectivity and data collection at the
base station.
Objective
The key concern is to develop sensing and
measuring environmental parameters like Light
intensity, temperature, humidity etc. The above
activities have been simulated using TOSSIM
simulator, the code for which has been written in
nesC. It is user friendly frontend has been designed
using Visual Basic.
Methodology
The group tried to monitor different agricultural field
parameters such as temperature, light intensity etc.
It simulates the existence of a sensor field which
would basically be a farm land and the sensors
would be stimulated by applying some virtual force
which could be temperature and light intensity.
Basic Methodology
The events sensed through node collects this
information and passes it to either neighboring
node (if its the only connectivity to the base station)
or directly to the base station. At the base station
(laptop or a pc) the farmer takes appropriate action
on the basis of the information sent to the base
station through the sensors which monitor the
environment in the actual field.
To simulate the wireless sensor network and to show
its usefulness in improving the productivity of
agriculture produce.
The aim is to show the usefulness of wireless sensor
networks in improving the agricultural yield.

Conclusion
It is capable of sensing light and temperature
variations and suggesting relevant preventive
measures to be taken in a user friendly manner. The
implemented model helps the farmer to continuously
monitor the parameters affecting the growth of the
crops and suggests steps to be taken upon some
threshold value, thereby increasing the overall quality
and productivity of the crops.

regularly or when certain criteria are met, while pull-
type messages are sent on the users request by
SMS.
In push type service, every day the database is
checked for new advisories which may be
applicable on that day. If any advisories are present
then message is sent only to those farmers who
have registered for that particular crop. The
agricultural advisories are developed by agricultural
experts by considering different aspects like
climate, geographical information, manures
available, new research, etc.
In pull type service farmers can retrieve current
commodity prices from the internet using short
message. When a farmer asks for commodity price
the server looks up the same in the internet and
retrieves the data and sends as short message.
The database is used here to store the information
such as phone number, name, and crop about
users and also advisories which are classified
according to crop. The commodity prices are
directly retrieved from the web and all the html tags
are parsed and only the required prices are sent as
message. A handset is connected to server for
sending and receiving the message via USB. AT
commands are used here to communicate between
handset and the computer. The existing
GSM/CDMA network provides short message
service so that these messages can be easily sent
to farmers. The system overview is as shown in
Figure 1.

Figure 1: System Overview.
The project is implemented both in simulation and real
network platform. In simulation, Java wireless toolkit is
used. For real network implementation Nokia 6610
handset with CA-42 cable is used.
Conclusions
In this project a prototype model is developed, which
presents a new way of communication between
agricultural experts and farmers. This project made
use of short message service provided by existing
mobile/wireless communication network to disseminate
agriculture related advisories and weather forecast to
farmers community. The farmers can also know
market rate and fluctuations, as and when required by
querying through the proposed service system. The
present market rate from the Internet is effectively
dispatched dynamically on request.
Future Scope
The proposed system can be provided with local
language understandable by the farmers of the
particular location and community. Similarly, the
project can be developed to collect more information
about a farmer such as soil type, irrigation method etc.
which helps the experts to recommend more
customized advisory to individual farmer. Further, this
31
st
project can be extended to provide social and
medical services for rural, suburban area people.
Image based interactive system can also be
developed which makes the system more user
friendly.

Introduction
The Routing Simulator is learning how to get from
here to there". It employ the term routing simulation
to refer in general to all the things that are done to
discover and advertise paths from here to there and
to actually move packets from here to there, when
necessary. When a packet is received by the router
or is forwarded by the host, they both must make
decisions as to how to send the packet. To do this,
the router and the host consult a database for
information known as the routing table.
Objectives
The Routing Simulator has the following objectives:
1. The topology of the subnet should be displayed
with routers designated with computer images
and links with lines
2. The Routing table of the subnet should be
displayed showing various source and
destination.
3. Various routing algorithms are implemented for
the given topology.
4. The algorithms are simulated which shows the
next hops of each router.
5. Time delay is calculated based on bandwidth
and data rate, which suggests the efficient
routing algorithm for various topologies
6. Processing of packets is done which displays
routing table.
7. When a router is down, the user should be
intimated.
Method of Implementation
For implementing all the above objectives the
following routing algorithms were used. These
algorithms choose the routes and data structures
for implementation.
1. Flooding : In this method, every incoming packet is
sent out on every outgoing line.
2. Source Routing: A technique whereby the sender
of a packet can specify the route that a packet
should take through the network.
3. Distance Vector (Bellman-Ford): Each router
shares the knowledge about the entire network with
its neighbors. The routing algorithm used in RIP,
the Bellman-Ford algorithm
4. Link state: It performs the following functions.
Learn about the neighbors.
Measuring line cost
Building link state packets.
Distributing link state packets.
Computing the new routes.
5. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) : An interior
gateway protocol (IGP) for routing protocols on
internal networks.
6. Hot Potato: To control the congestion occurred
during packetransferring.
Conclusion
The smaller networks can be analyzed and the results
can be employed in larger networks to make routing
efficient and economic. As the simulator has provision
for the crashing of routers, it intimates the user to
follow a new path. It can be employed in real networks
to increase the performance of routers and links. As it
not feasible in real networks to test algorithms and
then implement a best one, Routing Simulator can be
helpful. Hence it is useful for people who provide
networking services and those who design networks.

SHILPA M. K.

Introduction
The fact that the signature is widely used as a means
of personal verification emphasizes the need for an
automatic verification system. Verification can be
performed either Offline or Online based on the
application. Online systems use dynamic information
of a signature captured at the time the signature is
made. Offline systems work on the scanned image of
a signature.
In this study, a method for offline verification of
signatures using a set of simple shape based
31
st
geometric features. The features that are used are
Baseline Slant Angle, Aspect Ratio, Histograms,
Center of gravity, slope of the line joining the
centers of Gravity of two halves of a signature
image, the mask features and the grid features.
Objective
To present an efficient and effective algorithm to
detect random, simple and skilled forgeries and
provides a system with less time and space
complexity.
Overview of the system
The proposed system is divided into two major
parts
Training with only genuine signature samples.
Verification or recognition of given signature.
The steps involved are Preprocessing, Background
elimination, Noise reduction, Width normalization,
Thinning, and Feature extraction.
Verification of signature: Signatures are
composed of special characters and flourishes and
therefore most of the time they can be unreadable.
Intrapersonal variations and interpersonal
differences make necessary to analyze as complete
images but not as letters and words put together.
As signatures are the primary mechanism both for
authentication and authorization in legal
transaction.
Verification is the decision about whether the
signature is genuine or forgery. In this decision
phase the forgery images is classified in three
groups. 1) Random 2) Simple and 3) Skilled.
The software product developed for detecting the
signature forgeries is as follows:
The user selects the signature to be given as
input. It is stored in bitmap file.
The proposed algorithm is applied on the
selected signature.
The algorithm finds whether the signature is
genuine or forgery.
Applications
The software developed can be used for detection
of forgeries in signatures.
Handling non existing situations created by fake
signatures by forging the original ones.
Can be used in Banks, Passport verifications and
property registrations to detect forgeries.
Widely used in the fields of finance and security.
Used for securing credit card transaction.
Conclusion
The team has developed a user friendly interface
which provides complete automation of signature
verification. Here the mean signature for each person
is stored. Thus the time complexity and space
complexity is reduced. An accuracy of 98% for true
acceptance and 95% for true rejection is seen.

Introduction
Virtual Classroom is an attempt to change our
conventional classroom / teaching system and try to
break free from the restrictions put forth by the
conventional classroom.
Kaksha The Virtual Classroom has a central system
to which users (teachers and students) login. Each of
the users and their respective location addresses in
the network (IP address) will be recorded in the central
application, Kaksha-Mandala. Here, an administrator
can login and create or remove users. The Teacher
uses his application, Kaksha-Adhyapak to log into
the central server. The class then starts and Kaksha-
Mandala will update its list of online classes. Each of
the students will use Kaksha-Vidyarthi to log into the
central server and access any of the available online
classes. Then based on his choice, a direct link is
established with that teacher and the student begins to
receive the lecture.
Objective
To transform conventional classrooms to virtual
classrooms using the power of wireless networks.
Problem Statement
The lucrative IT sector has led to the shortage of
academic professionals in educational institutions. To
make teaching an opportunity to explore
advancements in information fields the system needs
to incorporate IT like standards in education.
Proposed Solution
Create a completely wireless network across various
colleges, which serve as a medium to broadcast
lectures taking place at one point and unify all
classrooms. The Virtual Classroom allows subscribers
to access a wide range of classrooms through an
online system. Being a completely wireless system, it
provides the functionality of enabling any terminal
within the range of transmission of the router to access
the broadcasted content.

Introduction
Speed has been determined to be one of the most
common contributing factors in vehicle crashes.
Different types of vehicle speed limiters are in current
use for regulating traffic especially across roads near
populated areas such as hospitals, shopping malls,
and schools.
Objective
In this project the speed of the vehicles can be
automatically controlled through wireless
communication. The vehicle entering within a certain
range cannot exceed a particular speed value.
Methodology
The system developed has two sections: RF
transmission section and the RF receiver section. The
RF transmission section consists of a RF transmitting
module comprising of transmitter and encoder. This
transmitter has to be mounted on the place where the
speed of the vehicles is to be controlled.
31
st
The receiver module consisting of a receiver circuit
with a driver module is placed in the vehicles. When
the vehicles enters the range, the device receives
the signal and activates the relay. The output of the
relay is connected to a microcontroller that senses
the received signal. The microcontroller is
programmed to control the fuel flow control module,
which is a combination of stepper motor and flow
control valve. The fuel flow control module is placed
between the carburetor and the engine of the
vehicle. Once the stepper motor gets activated, it
operates on the valve, which regulates the fuel flow
into the engine. Hence speed of the vehicle is
controlled.
When the3 vehicle exits from this particular range
for about 20 mts, the receiver gets deactivated. As
a result the micro controller sets the running
condition of the vehicle to normal state.
Conclusion
This project combines several pioneering
techniques that integrate wireless and control
technologies in order to implement a reliable speed
control system. The power of the proposed system
lies in its flexibility and capability of development
with little hardware changes such as changing
speed control methods using the software of the
base station in lesser time.

Introduction
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
systems are integral parts of any industrial or
commercial buildings, which make the environment
congenial to work. Air ducts are used in these
HVAC systems to supply fresh air and to remove
stale air. Several materials are used in fabricating
the air ducts. These air ducts shall be cleaned
properly so as to have a good efficiency, long life
etc. Conventional methods of duct cleaning include
men entering in the duct systems and cleaning,
compressed air cleaning systems, vacuum cleaning
etc. They have difficulties like non-suitability to
different sections of the units; improper cleaning of
magnetic/ ferrous debris due to their weight, etc. To
overcome these difficulties, a duct cleaner with an
object sensor is developed.
Objectives

The major components of the designed system
include microcontroller (AT89C2051),
microprocesser (ULN2003AG), DC motors (7 nos.),
relays, transistors, capacitors, resistors, switches,
encoder, decoder etc. The base frame was
fabricated using wood and sheet metal. The frame
was adequate enough to mount 2 DC motors and a
vacuum cleaner with adequate distance. The sides
were joint at top using angles and bent to the required
shape. Then the chain drive was assembled. The T-
arm, was fabricated using sheet metal, due to its
flexibility. The total weight of the prototype was 9.8 kgs
and base dimensions of 40 x 25 x 10 cm. The T-arm
was of 30 x 10 x 10cm and chain drive length was 25
cm. The prototype was tested for its ability to execute
the desired type of motion and carryout cleaning and
was found to yield satisfactory results.
Conclusions
The prototype is developed and functioned as per
expectations, but still enough scope for improvement.

Introduction
New products have been introduced in order to
replace material such as metals, cement etc that are
very heavy, and corrosive and less environment
friendly.
The use of natural fibers for technical composite
applications has recently been the subject of intensive
31
st
research. Many automotive components are
already produced by using natural composites
The present work focuses on investigating the
Effect of Matrix and Composite Curing Time on
Mechanical Behaviour of Areca Composites.
Objectives
The primary goal of this research project is to
develop a mechanics-based experimental approach
to estimate the elastic properties of random
orientated areca composites. The specific
objectives of this project are to:
Understand the effects of chemical treatment on
mechanical behavior of areca fibers composites.
To study the physical and chemical composition
of areca fibers.
To study the behavior of Areca Urea
formaldehyde, Areca- Melamine Urea
formaldehyde and Areca-Epoxy-LY556
composites under different mechanical loads by
using experimental methods.
Quantify key variables to contribute for optimum
mechanical behavior of areca composites under
different loading conditions.
To develop a product(furniture, table, desk ete)
from areca fibers composite
Methodology
1. The mesocarp (fibrous husk) were kept in
water for a period of 7 days, then the fibers
were separated from husk manually and dried
at room temperature for a period of 15 days to
remove the moisture content.
2. The areca fibers were chemically treated to
improve the mechanical properties using
sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
3. The fibers are washed with few drop of acetic
acid and distilled water. The washed fibers
were dried for a period of 7 days at room
temperature.
4. The composites were prepared with three
different types of matrix systems namely urea
formaldehyde, melamine urea formaldehyde
and Epoxy-LY556.
5. Comparative study of mechanical properties
like tensile strength, compression strength;
static bending strength, impact strength, and
hardness has made.
6. Moisture absorption test was also carried out as
natural fibers have more affinity towards moisture
and results were reported.
Results and Discussions
1. The mechanical properties for areca-epoxy
composite observed in this study are higher
compared to areca fibers reinforced with urea
formaldehyde and melamine urea formaldehyde
resin.
2. Areca epoxy composites are good substitute for
wood based composites when strength factor is
the main criteria. When cost of the composites
are considered, areca-melamine urea
formaldehyde composites are best suited for the
replacement of other natural fibers composites
3. As the composite curing time increases the
composite becomes more brittle, this in turn
increases the impact strength of the composite.
4. Replacement of glass fibers by natural fibers as
the reinforcing component in thermoplastic
composites is the distinctive improvement in
crash behavior.
5. Reinforcement of natural fibers are safer than
glass fiber parts.
6. The results suggest that areca composite is a
good substitute for natural fibers like banana,
cotton, coir, sisal, jute etc and even for wood
composites, motivated by potential advantages of
weight saving, lower raw material price
7. Areca fiber has a very promising future in the
composite industry.
Scope for the Future Work
1. The current work can be continued by using high
quality resin systems to arrive at optimum
mechanical properties.
2. The present work limits fiber loading in matrix
systems to about 60% by weight of fiber.
3. This work can be further proceeded by increasing
the fiber volume fraction by the use of new
composite processing technique.
4. The present work can be continued by blending
the Areca fibers with other natural fibers.

Introduction
The project group has taken a step to use principle
namely the maglev principle in an IC engine with
some modification to run an engine and to acquire
a certain speed which is done by diesel or a petrol
engine. In this project the group uses
electromagnetic coil which pulls the piston up and
down effecting the cranking of the spindle affecting the
axle to rotate to move the vehicle ahead. The starting
momentum is achieved by DC motor and after
reaching a momentum, will continue to move / rotate
by the cranking due to electromagnetic coils
energizing. This principle has certain advantage when
compared to diesel or a petrol engine.
Advantages
Virtually no wear. Main cause of mechanical wear
is friction, magnetic levitation requires less contact,
and hence no friction.
Components normally subjected to mechanical
wear are on the whole replaced by electronic
components which do not suffer any wear.
Without using any fossil fuels.
Pollution free environment
Simple in design.
Conclusion
The application of some heavy magnetized
electromagnet achieved desired reciprocating motion
which in turn completely revolutionizes the whole
automobile industry.

Introduction
Indian power sector is facing serious problem of lean
revenue collection as against energy supplied due to
energy thefts and network losses. All the steps taken
so far, regarding the improvement of the revenue
collection did not yield satisfactory results. It is
reported that the most faulty sub system is the
metering and meter reading system.
The traditional billing systems are discrete, inaccurate,
costly, slow, and lack flexibility as well as reliability.
Therefore, several attempts were made to automate
the billing systems. Even though accurate and fast
readings are obtained, bill payment is still performed
based on the old billing procedure. They require an
individual/agent to physically come and take down the
readings and report to house hold/office the amount
one has to pay.

Objective
To understand, analyze, design and develop an on
line pre-paid energy meter which provides both the
suppliers and the consumers with better services
regarding meter billing and payment.
Methodology
This system will accept the number of units
recharged by the concerned department person,
counts the number of units consumed by the
customer and as soon as the customer exceeds the
recharged amount, it will disconnect the power
supply to the customer until the next recharge.

Block diagram of on line pre paid energy meter
Whenever the number of units in microcontroller
becomes zero microcontroller sends a signal to
Contact Maker /Breaker circuit which is nothing
but the relay and this relay cuts off the power
supply to the consumer until next recharge.
Conclusions
An attempt is made to develop a system, which
interfaced with static electronic energy meter and
works as an online prepaid energy meter. The
consumers and the suppliers can be benefited by
using the online prepaid energy meter in the
following ways
This system is of great advantage for the
electricity department. It can be utilized
effectively for preventing power theft, non-
payment of electricity bills etc.
Billing system can be centralized.
Scope For Improvement
The system can be made user friendly by using
smart card technology.
Bluetooth technology can be used for meter
reading in wireless system.

Introduction
The majority of human-computer interaction (HCI) is
based on mechanical devices such as keyboards,
mousse, joysticks or gamepads. In recent years there
has been a growing interest in methods based on
computational vision due to its ability to recognize
human gestures in a natural way.
Hand gesture recognition for computer control is a
popular research topic in computer vision.
Approaches to recognizing hand gestures have usually
been divided into two types: model-based and view-
based approaches. Model-based approaches use a
3D hand model for tracking.
Objectives
To build an interface to control computer system
without touching any device just by hand gestures in
mid air.
Methodology
In this system used a desktop (or laptop) and web
cam. This technology can be achieved by a software
unit called TIE (Touchless Interface Environment). The
whole unit is built on an open source platform with
.NET language for coding. The gesture recognition
system recognizes fundamental static hand gestures
31
st
and variations of gestures. The Win32 API is
utilized to perform the desired actions.
The system consists of a six-stage process.
1. It starts by taking a video stream input and
finishes by transforming it into desktop actions
as dictated by the user. The system
architecture is composed of a six-stage
process.
2. Color space Conversion : Each frame is stored
in a word aligned structure contain the red,
green, and blue color components. The frame
is processed pixel-by-pixel converting each
RGB frame to HSV color space.
3. Image Thresholding: Using the user-adjustable
parameters of hue, saturation, and value
bounds, pixels are converted to two colors,
black or white.
4. Feature Vector Generation: During this stage,
the output of the thresholding function is
simultaneously used (not in parallel) to create a
feature vector and track the object.
5. Microstate Assignment: The microstate is
created from the Hu invariant moments and the
objects rotation.
6. Action Engine: The action engine is composed
to two parts: macrostate assignment and
execution. The macrostate determines the
actions to be executed by the software.
Execution of the decision follows using the
Win32 API.
The system performs in real time using low-cost
commercial off the shelf (COTS) camera equipment
in windows platform.
Direct X has been used for object extraction and
tracking. The system can discriminate each frame
through shape analysis via Hue invariant moments.
Gestures can be interpreted, but not executed, by
the computer at a users wish. The system also
provides video displaying a track of the hand, the
current gesture, and system performance.

Introduction
The basic requirement of agriculture activity is a
irrigation. In regular irrigation there will be a wastage of
water about 40% because some of plants does not
require much of water and some plants may require
still more. This problem can be solved by using a
technique of sensing actual moisture level of the soil
and according to the condition pump can be controlled.
31
st
The sensors which are inserted in to the soil absorb
the level of moisture and in a driving stage this is
further improved and fed to a microcontroller.
Objective
According to the moisture level of the soil there is a
change in conductivity between two probes. So the
microcontroller is designed in such way that as the
moisture level develops between probes reach a
normal or abnormal values. The output of
microcontroller triggers the pump to irrigate the
fields. The microcontroller also receives a logical
signal of the pump condition depends upon its
temperature. During dry running (without water) the
temperature of the pump would increase.
Microcontroller of the system play very pivotal role
in on and off.

By using an electronic method pesticides control
can be controlled by generating an ultrasonic
frequency and radiate these frequencies in field by
a transducer of piezo electric. Another feature of
the system is controlling wild animals to entering into a
field by providing mild shock through the fence but it
should not be harmful for the wild animal and also to
human beings.
Any theft condition of the pump will be indicated with a
wireless link. A special kind of sensor is provided
below the pump to control the theft. As the receiver is
fixed at farmers house so that, as it receives a
switching signal, an alarm generator generates an
alarm and an indication LED indicates the status.

Future Enhancements
Pump protection against abnormal voltage.
Usage of solenoid system to avoid the use of
many pumps.
Solar power attachment.
Conclusion
It concluded that it is best suitable for farmers to use in
agriculture field. This project automatically switches
the pump and irrigates water to the field and
automatically controls the various kinds of pests. Wild
animals entry can be avoided by using fencing system
and motor theft.

Introduction
Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science
and technology whose theme is the control of matter
on the atomic and molecular scale, generally 100
nanometers or smaller, and the fabrication of devices
or materials that lie within that size range. While
benefits of nanotechnology are widely publicized, the
discussion of the potential effects of their widespread
use in the consumer and industrial products are just
beginning to emerge. The formation of metallic
nanoparticle solution is already being employed in
many sectors of science.
The nanoparticles are used to manufacture water
soluble, non-toxic gold nanoparticles, nanocomposites,
nanochains and nanorods in various sizes to help
31
st
researchers towards the development of new
imaging and therapy nanomedicine products. It is
also used in the production of antimicrobial textiles
for commercial applications in the health and
hygiene industry.
Objective
The objective of the project is to design an
automated system for industrial application which
does the following things when some parameters
are satisfied.
1. The solution in the beaker is heated using the
magnetic stirrer and heater.
2. The temperature of the apparatus is monitored
by temperature sensor.
3. After reaching the desired temperature of 100
pipette out the stabilizing agents in proper ratio.
4. The pipetted solution is released into the main
apparatus.
5. The solution is continuously stirred resulting in
the formation of Nano particle solution.
Methodology
It has initiated the heater to start heating the
solution by using a clip switch. The solution is
heated for a definite time till it is observed to attain
the desired temperature. Once the temperature is
attained the timer activates the valves to pipette the
solution into the main beaker from the other two
beakers placed at the adjoining side of the main
beaker. After the solution is pipette, the PIC
microcontroller signals the stirrer to stir the solution
in the beaker. The stirrer stirs the solution till the
solution turns into required solution. This completes
one complete cycle. This procedure continues for
every solution to be prepared.
Conclusion
This model can be used to prepare any amount of
nanoparticle solution just by varying the resistance
in the circuit. Hence this model finds application not
only in this company but it can also be used in paint
industry, pharmaceutical industry and where such
procedure is used for making their respective
products, where in two solutions of the varying
quantity have to be mixed to form a single solution,
required for their application. Different applications
require different operating temperatures, and also
the quantity of solution to be pipette. These values
depend on the resistance value.
This model is completely cost efficient and easy to
install and use. The main advantage of this model
is that it reduces human errors.

Introduction
The main purpose of this project is to exchange
information between two control units. Controller Area
Network is a protocol which is used very widely in the
automotive domain.
This project perform three types of communications
like serial communication between PC and level
shifter, SPI communication between atmega16L
microcontroller and MCP2515, CAN communication
between CAN infineon node and CAN bus. The
primary reason for designing this device is to reduce
man power and time consumption.
Objective
The main purpose of the project is to exchange
information between two control units. Any CAR has
various accessories such as Power windows, Power
steering, Engine control, Mirror control, Wipers. These
nodes are connected together and the information
between these nodes is exchanged through CAN
Protocol.
Methodology
1. Define task: To create a system which allows the
exchange of information between two control units
through CAN bus.
2. Solution: CAN infineon node is used to monitor
the transmission and reception of messages
between two control units. CAN bus is used to
exchange the information between two control
units.
3. Designing solution: Listing down the required
components and necessary equipments for each
unit and design an abstract model with basic units.
4. Building circuit: An actual circuit diagram by
connecting all the components resulting in a
working model.
5. Write the control program: As the project
involves a CAN working as a control unit to control
different units, a code is written to control the
whole system and make it work as required.
6. Test and Debug: The model is working as per the
designed requirements and debugging the errors.
31
st

Conclusions
CAN provides an inexpensive, durable network that
helps multiple CAN devices communicate with one
another. An advantage is that electronic control
units (ECUs) can have a single CAN interface
rather than analog and digital inputs to every device
in the system. This decreases overall cost and
weight in automobiles. Each of the devices on the
network has a CAN controller chip and is therefore
intelligent. All devices on the network see all
transmitted messages. Each device can decide if a
message is relevant or if it should be filtered. In
addition, every message has a priority, so if two
nodes try to send messages simultaneously, the
one with the higher priority gets transmitted and the
one with the lower priority gets postponed.

Introduction
Music Retrieval is a field of rapidly growing
commercial interest. Melody Information Retrieval
System is used to search large collections of music,
to retrieve a desired song by humming or singing a
part of the song which the user may have lingering
in his head for many days but doesnt know where
he heard it or which song it is from.
There are several techniques proposed for
retrieving songs based on singing or humming.
Some of them are autocorrelation [1], UDS string
matching technique [2], frame-based approach [3] and
Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) technique [4, 5].
Among these DTW is considered to be more efficient
for comparison and retrieval. Hence DTW technique
has been implemented in this system.
The developed system allows the user to simply hum
the tune into a computer microphone, and the system
searches through a database of songs for melodies
containing the tune and returns a ranked list of search
results. The user can then find the desired song by
listening to the results.
The main advantage is that a user can search for
songs by humming the tune of the song, rather than by
specifying their file names, which may be irrelevant to
any of the songs details. The search is designed with
some amount of tolerance to possible errors that may
be introduced due to inexact query specification, pitch
tracking errors, etc.
Objectives
To develop a system that,
Accepts real-time inputs.
Implements searching based on singing,
humming.
Finds correspondences in a collection of songs
with the input tune without any specific instruction
for style or articulation.
Minimizes user errors and uses DTW (Dynamic
Time Warping) technique efficiently for the
retrieval of top matching songs.
Methodology
Melody Information Retrieval system is designed as a
five-stage framework comprising of
Preprocessing (of input tune)
Melody Processing (of reference directory)
Pitch Extraction and Normalization
Matching Engine
Rank list
Results and conclusion
The system is tested with 50 inputs from 6 different
users. The results are favourable and validation ws
also done.
To the obtained rank list, applying more robust
technique that retrieves single song which exactly
matches the input query.

Introduction
This instrument makes use of simple, readily
available electronic components such as Piezo-
electric sensor and LM35 temperature sensor. As
the name depicts, it is used for human body pulse
rate and body temperature measurement as a
portable wireless device. This is essential where
continuous monitoring of pulse rate and body
temperature is required.
Source for the measurand is human body which
generates the parameters required. The physical
parameters are converted into electrical parameter
using signal-conditioning circuits and to display the
same. To accomplish this, a piezo-electric sensor
and temperature sensor, comparator, PIC micro
controller, LCD displays and transmitter and
receiver pair are required. Using RF transmitter and
receiver pair the data can be displayed in the
remote area.
Methodology
The piezo-electric sensor produces an output
voltage variation whenever there is a pulse at its
input, the no of times the voltage variation occurs
for a minute gives the pulse rate. The temperature
sensor (LM35) whose output voltage is proportional
to the absolute temperature in degree Celsius with
a power supply of +5v is used for measuring body
temperature.
A transmitter and receiver pair operating at a
frequency of 433.92 MHz, a PIC Micro controller
16f877 that performs amplification, analog to digital
conversion of the input data and serial transmission is
used. The pulse rate and temperature are displayed
on a 16 x 2 alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD).

Introduction
In electrocardiogram (ECG), a record of the
biopotentials is associated with the contractions of
the heart muscle. A description of some of the
common types of signals that can be derived from
the ECG is also presented.
Arrhythmias are life-threatening medical
emergencies that can cause cardiac arrest and
sudden death. It is a group of conditions in which
the electrical activity of the heart is irregular or is
faster or slower than normal.
Objective
The objective of the study is to classify arrhythmias
using support vector machines based on feabures
of Heart Rate variability analysis (HRV). HRV
analysis is a powerful tool to access autonomic
function in both health and disease.
This study is conducted with a goal to
Obtain time and frequency parameters of HRV for
the data taken from MIT-BIH arrhythmia database
using LABVIEW.
Test the significance of the obtained results using
analysis of variance.
Train the SVM using the obtained data.
Predict the respective classes for the testing data.
Methodology
This project uses an arrhythmia classification algorithm
comprising of four steps of preprocessing, feature
extraction, analysis of variance based feature
reduction and Support Vector Machine based
arrhythmia classification.
The proposed SVM classifier is being trained for four
classes using the reduced features and tested for the
remaining features. This shows satisfactory
performances in discriminating four types of
arrhythmia, namely normal sinus rhythm (NSR-20
segments), Atrial fibrillation, Ventricular fibrillation and
Premature Ventricular Contraction.
Conclusion
It is proposed a SVM based arrhythmia
classification algorithm which provided a new
approach to the problem of pattern recognition.
The pattern Heart Rate variability along with SVM
provided a unique method to classify Arrhythmias.
It has achieved an overall accuracy of 96.5% for
the total of four features in the time domain.
The results showed that the proposed method is
effective for classification of cardiac arrhythmia,
with acceptable high accuracy. It is evident that
the combination of the linear and nonlinear
features together with the employed classifier is
very effective.
The main advantage of this method compared to
other approaches in the literature is that it is
completely based on RR-interval signal which can
be extracted with high accuracy even for noisy or
complicated ECG recordings, while the extraction
of all other type of ECG analysis is seriously
affected by noise.

Introduction
Bamboo is highly renewable grass variety and is
more eco-friendly due to its biodegradability. The
thickness and whiteness degree of bamboo fiber is
similar to that of a classic viscose fiber. Bamboo
can be spun pure or can be blended with other
materials like cotton, hemp, silk, glycol etc. and
garments like sweaters, bath suits, mats etc. can be
made with it.
Objectives
Development of bamboo yarn to woven and knitted
fabrics, studying their properties and converting
these fabrics into garments.
Bamboo yarn was procured and tested for relevant
parameters like count, tenacity, Tpcm, elongation
etc. Bamboo yarn was wound on to prins to use as
weft and cotton polyester yarn as warp and plain
fabric was woven. Also, 100% bamboo yarn was
used to produce single jersey knitted fabric. Both
woven fabric and knitted fabric were subjected to
scouring and bleaching. At the end, the mixture of
soda ash and caustic soda was used a fixing agent
and the materials were finally washed. The knitted
fabric was tested for counts per cm, wales per cm,
stitch density, course length, loop length, weight
etc. The woven fabric was tested for ends per cm,
picks per cm, warp cover, weft cover, crimp%,
thickness, weight etc. and the results were
tabulated.
The bamboo yarn can be easily converted into woven
and knitted fabrics. During weaving and knitting, the
yarn performance was good. Both woven and knitted
fabrics can be converted into garments without much
difficulty. The appearance and performance of these
garments are very good.

Introduction
Sericin is a valuable protein, which acts as a glue to fix
fibroin fibre together in cocoon. It will be removed as
waste, before dyeing and finishing. It still contains
valuable protein, and has properties like anti-oxidation,
antibacterial, UV resistant, absorb and release of
moisture etc. The constituent of sericin is about 20-
30% of the total weight of cocoon. Most of the sericin
is removed during degumming and is discarded as
wastewater, which also increases the treatment cost in
addition to the loss of such a rich proteinous material.
This sericin can be recovered and can be used for
various biomedical and tissue engineering applications
Objectives
To carryout degumming of silk with various techniques,
followed by extraction of sericin from degumming
wastewater by dialysis and centrifugation methods.
Also to convert the extracted sericin from liquid state to
powder, gel, film etc. forms and to characterize these
products.
Methodology
The degumming of cocoons was carriedout by using
soap (various types) and also the hot water, and the
31
st
degummed wastewater was used for extraction of
sericin. The degummed wastewater was subjected
to dialysis to separate the low molecular weight
degumming product from high molecular weight
product through semi-permeable membrane with
circulated distilled water and constant stirring. The
heavier portion remained inside the bag.
Alternately, this can be achieved by centrifugation.
The dialyzed protein sample was subjected to
aeration for 120 minutes, to remove the water
content present in the dialysis bag. After that, the
protein obtained was dried in an oven at 55
o
C for
10 minutes and the product was ground to get fine
powder. The sericin content obtained above was
tested for Nitrogen content, and also subjected to UV
absorption Spectra and microscopic examination
The degumming of cocoon using baby soap
degumming method has yielded more sericin content.
The sericin powder obtained by baby soap degumming
has shown better properties against UV protection,
which suggests that it can be used in skin therapy
effectively. Also, it is found to give fine and uniform
crystals.

Introduction
The blood oxygenator (widely known as heart-lung
machine) is a device used during open heart
surgery to perform the hearts function. It forms a
part of an apparatus called the heart lung machine
which performs the combined functions of the heart
and lungs.
To function, the heart-lung machine must be
connected to the patient in a way that allows blood
to be removed, processed, and returned to the
body. Therefore, it requires two hook-ups. One is to
a large artery where fresh blood can be pumped
back into the body. The other is to a major vein
where used blood can be removed from the body
and passed through the machine. In addition, the
machine requires a cooling system for cooling of
the blood (28C).
Methodology
The system mainly consists of the following parts:
1. Temperature sensor
2. Square Wave generator
3. Buffer
4. Logic circuit drive
5. The logic circuit
6. Cooling fans
7. Submersible valves
8. Cooling chamber
9. Regulated power supply
In bypass surgery, the heart is flooded with cold
fluids rich in potassium, an ion that arrests muscle
contractions. The patient's blood is then rerouted
into a heart-lung machine. There, it is forced over
cheese cloth-like membranes of porous plastic,
through which oxygen percolates. The blood is also
cooled to about 82 F, then pumped back into the
body. Body temperature drops, slowing metabolism
and lessening demand for oxygen. After surgery the
body must be rewarmed.
Conclusion
After completing this project the team concluded that
the blood oxygenator can perform oxygenation of
blood and circulation of blood in whole body. The
blood oxygenator works efficiently and thus the
working instrument can perform task easily.

Methodology
A) Power supply unit
Step-down Transformer: The conventional supply,
which is generally available to the user, is 230V AC. It
is necessary to step down the mains supply to the
desired level. This is achieved by using suitably rated

step-down transformer. While designing the power
supply it is necessary to go for higher rating
transformer than the required one. There are three
reasons for this. First reason is, across the
secondary winding of the transformer there is no
guarantee of getting the equal voltages. Secondly,
for proper working of the regulator IC it needs at
least 2.5V more than the expected output voltage.
Last reason is to compensate the power loss
offered by the transformer windings and power
supply circuit itself.
B) Power supply for motor
The 230V, 50Hz mains supply is stepped down by
using a 12-0-12V, 5 amp step-down transformer. To
convert this AC input to a pure DC, and a bridge
rectifier IC is used.
C) Power supply for switching circuit
The 230V, 50Hz mains supply is stepped down by
using a 12-0-12V, 1 amp step-down transformer. To
convert this AC input to a pure DC, and a full wave
rectifier consisting of 2 diodes i.e., IN 4007
arranged as shown in the power supply Circuit..

Switch Circuit Working
The regulator IC provides 9 volts supply to the
circuit. The comparator IC compares the 3 levels
and drives the respective opto-coupler which drives
the transistor and which in turn drives the relays.
There are three stages in the switching circuit. They
are the off stage; low-speed stage and the high-
speed stage.
The cuff is first wrapped around the foot. The air
from the outlet of the sleeve passes through the
connecting tube that connects the outlet of the
sleeve and inlet of the cuff and inflates the cuff.
Therefore in the first half cycle the cuff inflates
when air is pushed in from the sleeve which in turn
induces compressing force on the muscles of the
foot and calf muscles. During the second half of the
cycle the cuff deflates due to withdrawal of the air
back into the sleeve by the action of the piston.
Therefore releasing the pressure on the muscles
and in turn the muscles relax. Thus the inflating and
deflating action of the cuff induces compression
and relaxation of the muscles providing massaging
effect.
Conclusion
This project was developed in order to provide an
instrument that can provide massaging effect to the
foot and calf simultaneously and relive the pain caused
due to fatigue, cramps without much manual work to
be done.
The most important characteristic of this instrument is
the idea of using pressure as a modality to reduce pain
and fatigue instead of the vibrators and heaters
available in the market

Introduction
In recent times, there is a demand for making concrete
construction industry sustainable due to depletion of
virgin materials. High volume fly ash concrete which
utilizes large amount of fly ash, a waste product of
thermal power plant, satisfies the requirement of a
sustainable concrete.
Methodology
In the present work an attempt has been made to
develop the mix proportions for pavement quality
concrete and lean concrete. Also it is aimed to study
the variations of ultrasonic pulse velocity and rebound
number values for high volume fly ash concrete. A
total number of 280 cubes of size 150 x 150 x 150 mm
and 240 prisms of size 100 x 100 x 500 mm are cast.
For testing purpose 6 number of compressive strength
cubes are casted for each fly ash percentage and 5
prisms flexural strength are casted for each fly ash
percentage .The fly ash percentages were used are 0,
50, 60 and 70.

Introduction
An approach has developed an online voting system
based on the principles of anthropometry using face
recognition for authentication of voters. Anthropometry
is the study of the measurements of body parts. It
employ the Eigenfaces algorithm for providing facial
authentication. This algorithm calculates Eigen vectors
and their Eigen values corresponding to specific
characteristics of the face and these are later used to
classify voters. The voting system can be deployed on
a large scale such as to make it more accessible to the
voters than current voting booths. The manual work
required during the whole voting process right from the
registration of the voters to the counting of the votes is
reduced.
Objectives
To develop a cost effective voting system using face
recognition technology which allows the voters to
exercise their vote from convenient locations which
provide a better alternative to the current voting
process.
The purpose of Face Recognition System in electoral
voting system is to authenticate a voter based on his
face and to authenticate him to cast his/her vote.
The features of this project include:
Capturing the image of a person in a client
machine.
Encrypting the image.
Connecting to a remote Server and transmitting
the encrypted image.
Decrypting the received image in the remote
Server.
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 101
Authenticating the user.
Store the vote cast by the voter.
Methodology
The eigenfaces approach for face recognition is
summarized as follows:
Collect a set of characteristic face images of
the known individuals. This set should include a
number of images for each person, with some
variation in expression and in the lighting.
Calculate the matrix L, find its eigenvectors and
eigenvalues, and choose the M eigenvectors
with the highest associated eigenvalues.
Combine the normalized training set of images.
For each known individual, calculate the class
vector by averaging the eigenface pattern
vectors calculated from the original images of
the individual.
Calculate its pattern vector
If the new image is classified as a known
individual, this image may be added to the
original set of familiar face images, and the
eigenfaces may be recalculated. This gives the
opportunity to modify the face space as the
system encounters more instances of known
faces.
Conclusion
The proposed system is developed to improve the
current voting system by making it more secure and
fool proof.
The main benefits are easy calculation of accurate
information:
User friendly and easy maintenance.
Reduce the manual work.
Future Enhancement
The future commendable improvements can be in
the following areas:
Face detection in an image and extraction of
the face.
Web based implementation to provide remote
access.
Increasing the accuracy of the algorithm by
increasing the number of images in the training
set.
Implementing 3D Face Recognition.

Introduction
Face synthesis is very complex and challenging work
in image processing. Face synthesis is a complex job
because there is no exact method to synthesis the
face of a person using his / her other facial images of
different orientations.
Face analysis is a technique which is used for
analyzing or recognizing the facial feature. There is no
need of changing an original image, only comparison
work is carried out in most cases. In this method
features are to be extracted and are to be processed.
Synthesis is the most complex work than the analysis
because analysis doesnt require to change anything
in given image but synthesis is a method where
original image has to be processed to get required
image as an output. But for any image processing
method, both analysis and synthesis is needed.
This project is about synthesizing facial images for the
face poses in different orientation. The proposed
solution is based on distance calculation method and
texture mapping.
The facial features are extracted and they are flipped
to get frontal view. Then using distance calculation
method the face template is created. Finally, the
extracted and flipped features are placed on template
to their proper position to get a frontal view of oriented
face.
Methodology
Pose Variance remains a challenging problem for face
recognition. Distance calculation method with texture
mapping has been proposed to improve the
performance of automatic face recognition system.
Using this method frontal face images are generated
from the multi pose variant images. Before the
synthesis, feature point extraction and alignment are
executed on the two or more non-frontal images. The
synthesis is done using the texture mapping. This
method drastically improves the CPU performance
because of the texture mapping.
For each non-frontal input image an output is
generated which will be an approximate frontal view of
the given output. The face recognition software can
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 102
achieve higher recognition rate if the inputs given
are frontal rather than the non-frontal ones.

Conclusion
Extraction and synthesis of facial features is the
most vital part of face recognition in the field of
digital image processing. The simple yet efficient
distance method has been implemented for both
extracting the significant facial features and to
synthesize the face. This method has yielded better
results with a good efficiency in terms of space,
time and cost. A wider scope for future work like
animation of images, forensic applications.

Introduction
The existing transformer fault detection and
identification done by conventional method by using
relays and circuit breakers to isolate the system.
Faults include overloads, over-current, open circuit,
over temperature or failure of cooling system, oil
leakage, over-voltage, reduced system frequency, and
external short circuits such as a short circuit created
on the secondary windings. The present system will
detect the fault and it never indicates the type of fault.
These faults occur rapidly and it requires immediate
actions by system protection devices and operators to
isolate the fault and disconnect the transformer from
the fault
Objectives
The objective of this project is to design and
implementation of a mobile embedded system to
monitor and record key operation indicators of a
transformer like load current, transformer oil and
ambient temperatures. The proposed online
monitoring system integrates a global service mobile
modem, with stand alone 89S51 microcontroller and
sensor packages it is installed at the distributor
transformer sight and the faults like open circuit
overload line to ground and a temperature and oil
leakage are identified using this embedded system.
The acquired parameters are processed are recorded
in the system memory.
Methodology

Figure 1. Basic block diagram.
The figure 1 shows the basic block diagram of the
project. It contains the transformer which is testing
unit for this project, sensing circuit is a combination
of relays, bridge rectifiers, capacitors, micro-
controller, GSM modem and Mobile at the receiving
section.
The working procedure of the project is as follows:
Step 1: Connect the supply points of the model to
+5V, +12V and COM terminals of the regulated
power supply. 3.5V is for energizing GSM Module,
+12V for the micro-controller AT89S52. The ground
connections are all done to the COM terminal. And
connect the transformer to the 230V supply points.
Step 2: Switch ON the regulated power supply and
the AC supply.
Step 3: The program in the microcontroller is reset
and it starts functioning from the beginning. This is
ensured by the ON status of the Red LED.
Step 4: Any one switch is closed to create the fault
(say for open circuit). The relay will sense fault and
it trips its contacts, this operation is indicative of the
detection of a fault. This generates a voltage at the
input terminals of microcontroller.
Step 5: The voltage generated is of the order of 0
volts or few mill volts because we have used
negative logic for microcontroller operation.
Step 6: The program now compares the available
digital value with the set reference value which is
nothing but the digital equivalent of 0V d.c,
considering that voltage of 0V is a fault.
Step 7: If the load detected is actually a fault, the
microcontroller sends a low signal at the pin connected
to the red LED and at the same time to the GSM
modem through the configured output ports. The GSM
modem will transmits this signal to the predefined
GSM mobile via network.
Step 8: The GSM mobile will receives sms which
includes the data type of fault occurred in text form
which is sent by GSM modem.
Step 9: It rectify the fault and press reset button. Once
again the microcontroller is ready for detection of
another fault and to act in accordance with the
program
Conclusion
1. This project practically implements transformer
model and tested it in laboratory with considerably
impressive results.
2. The demonstration is done for a single transformer.
With slight modifications in the microprocessor
programming and the hardware, this can also be
used for multiple transformers.
3. The open circuit in transformer reduces the
efficiency of the transformer, and may lead to
excessive over heating, this will reduce the life
span of transformer.
4. The overheating of the transformer is basically of
sustained overloads and short circuits. Increases
copper losses and the efficiency of the transformer
will reduces.
5. The winding will be over heated and chances of
burning out transformer is also more. The power
losses will increased and efficiency of transformer
will reduces
6. For good operation of the transformer, one should
maintain the oil level properly. If oil level decreases
means, temperature of the transformer will increase
gradually and winding may burns out.

Introduction
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an
automatic identification method, relying on storing
and remotely retrieving data using devices called
RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an
object that can be attached or incorporated into a
living or nonliving product.
The idea presented here is a demonstration of
these cards in industrial field to control different
authorized machinery.
Objectives
RFID technology uses wireless communication in
radio frequency bands to transmit data from tags to
readers.It provides wireless control of devices.

Methodology
A input of 230v ac supply is given to the step down
transformer, the transformer used is a center tap
type hence the input voltage is reduced to 12v and
then it is converted into dc by the help of rectifier
(diodes) .Across the rectifier a capacitor is
connected which removes the ripples from the dc
component,and then the constant supply is
obtained from the voltage regulators, and two
voltage regulators are used 7805 &7812 which
gives a supply of 5v &12v respectively and this
supply is given to the required devices such as
microcontroller, lcd, RS-Tran receiver.
Initially the RFID card is produced to the RFID
reader antenna. Then the microcontroller extracts
the data from the card with the help of MAX 232 IC
which acts as a communication media between
microcontroller and RFID reader.
If the correct password is entered, the microcontroller
sends a high output signal to the transistor, which acts
a switch. When transistor receives a high signal it goes
into conducting state and thus activates the relay
connected to it. As the relay is activated the device
connected to relay can be controlled.
Conclusion
RFID technology is a well developed technology and
already used in asset tracking and electronic payment.

Introduction
Power theft has become hype in India. Because of this
hype all Electricity Boards are running under loss. This
directly affects the economy of our country. Power
Theft is occurring in almost all the fields like Agriculture
sector, Industrial sector Medical sector and in
Domestic sector also.
The Pilferage of power is done by the consumers
where the terminals L1 & L2 are left open, the loads
are directly tapped to the supply terminals.

Another method of pilferage of power is by connecting
low rating loads(Lighting, Fans etc.) to the L1 & L2
terminals but for heavy loads(Water pump sets,
Electric Heaters etc.) it is directly connected to the S1
& S2 terminals. The consumers will pay the bill only for
low rating loads but they will escape from paying the
bills for heavy loads.

electronically setting the X and Y-axis of binocular,
within the camera. Without these facilities in
binoculars it will be difficult to capture the distant /
nearer object and also dont get the required
enlarged picture / object. The front end of this
project is developed by VB software.
Working principle
The microcontroller receives this command from
serial port and encoder encodes this data and the
RF transmitter transmits this data. The RF receiver
in the binocular side receives this signal, decodes
and given to microcontroller. According to this data
the lens of the binocular is adjusted horizontally or
vertically. The RF camera captures the image
continuously and transmits the data as RF signal.
The RF video receiver in the PC side receives this
signal, and then it is transferred to TV tuner card,
thus by reproducing the video signals. So the user
can see the objects from PC in enlarged form.
Zoom commands, which is given in PC, are
transmitted through serial port, which in turn sends
data through RF data transmitter.

Introduction
The fault is a defect which shows how something is
wrong or how something does not fit in with pre-
established laws or principles or how something does
not fit in with some pre-defined system.
If a fault or some defect occurs in any system then that
system does not function properly. Therefore their
should be a mechanism which can detect that fault for
proper functioning of any system. So in this project the
team has designed a system for finding the faults that
occurs in the power lines. This system can work only
on 230v single phase lines (copper lines).
Objectives
The objective of this system is to find two kinds of
faults, that occur at domestic power line. Those faults
are OPEN LINE and OVERLOADED LINE.
Methodology
1. This system is used to detect 2 types of fault as
mentioned in problem statement those are 1.
Open line 2. Over loaded line .This open wire or
open line fault occur when particular line is cut off
and secondly fault called over loaded line occur if
the load is more than predefined value of load.
2. Once the mains is connected to the loads, the load
start to extract the current. This current is
extracted with the help of current transducer HTS
10P which is connected in series with the phase of
AC mains.
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 110
3. In this system only 2 lines are used. These 2
different lines are connected to 2 different
current transducer, the main supply is AC of
230v, this supply of 230v is made to flow first
through current transducer. The current
transducer gives us output as voltage signal
which varies with respect to flow of current in
that particular line, the signal strength will
change according to load.
4. The output of CT amplified in two stages with
gain of 1db and 40db using IC lm348 , we
indeed use non inverting Opamp which has
gain which given has GAIN= 1+ Rf/Rin.
5. The amplified fed to recrifier signal convert the
alternating current to direct current (half wave
rectifier).
6. When the process is completed the rectified
output is given to ADC 0809. The ADC converts
the analog signal to digital signal by taking 250
test samples.
7. Than microcontroller will compare ADC output
with the predefined values and decide whether
the line is ok, open or overloaded. If it is open
line or overloaded simultaneously it will display
the result on LCD as line is open or
overloaded.

Block Diagram
This project is designed so to detect faults in power
lines, those are open line and overloaded line.
The system is able to locate virtually all low-
and high- current faults
The system can provide faster service as soon as
fault is detected
Cost of each components in our system is very
less so the system is economical.
Using of the 8051 family IC of 89c51 we can
reprogram up to 10000 times.
Easy to maintain and easy to operate.
The system is portable one.
Scope of Future Work
It can also be designed for 3 phase lines.
It can be designed in such way to find exact
location of fault in the power lines.
The system can be further improved for auto
correction after detection of the fault.

Introduction
This project gives priority to detection of gas leakage,
cuts off the main LPG supply when a leakage is
detected and gives out a warning. The supply can only
be resumed after a complete human inspection and
correction of fault.
In addition to this safety feature this project also
monitors the amount of LPG left and automatically
sends a delivery request wirelessly to the supply
station without any human intervention, thus making it
easy for the consumer who now does not have to keep
track of gas left in the cylinder. A unit at the supply
station is also set up to respond to the delivery request
sent by the consumer unit.
Objective
This project aims to provide a complete safety system /
mechanism constantly monitoring the weight of LPG
gas remaining in the cylinder and gas leakage if any,
and also to send a wireless request to the LPG supply

100. AUGMENTED DIGITAL
WATERMARKING

COLLEGE : DR. AMBEDKAR INSTITUTE OF
GUIDE : RAMESH S.
STUDENTS : NEELA A. G.
PRASHANTH RAO K.
RANJEETH R. RAI

Introduction
Watermarking has been considered to be a promising
solution to protect the copyright of multimedia data
through transcoding, because the embedded message
is always included in the data. There is no evidence
that watermarking techniques can achieve the ultimate
goal to retrieve the right owner information from the
received data after all kinds of content-preserving
manipulations. Because of the fidelity constraint,
watermarks can only be embedded in a limited space
in the multimedia data. There is always a biased
advantage for the attacker whose target is only to get
rid of the watermarks by exploiting various
manipulations in the finite watermarking embedding
space. A more reasonable expectation of applying
watermarking techniques for copyright protection may
be to consider specific application scenarios.
Objective
This project provides an augmented watermarking
technique wherein noise is added to the watermarked
image so that only the end user who has the key for
embedding the watermark can both remove the noise
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 112
and watermark to get a final clear image. The
recovery for different values of noise is observed.
This system may be implemented as a basic digital
rights management system by defining a regime of
partial rights using overlaid watermarks, together
with respectively added layers of noise, in which the
rights of the users define the precision with which
the signals may be viewed.
Methodology
A watermarking system is made up of a watermark
embedding system and a watermark recovery
system. The system also has a key which could be
either a public or a secret key. The key is used to
enforce security, which is prevention of
unauthorized parties from manipulating or
recovering the watermark. For the embedding
process the inputs are the watermark, cover object
and the secret or the public key. The watermark
used can be text, numbers or an image. The
resulting final data received is the watermarked
data W. The inputs during the decoding process are
the watermark is the original data, the watermarked
data and the secret or the public key. The output is
the recovered watermark.
Conclusion
This project provides an augmented watermarking
scheme for signal protection in a transmission
channel wherein the sent signal is notified
intentionally so that only the authorized party can
have access to original signal and full precision
whereas other parties can receive only degraded
versions of the signal. This system may be
implemented as a basic digital rights management
system by defining a regime of partial rights using
overlaid watermarks, together with respectively
added layers of noise, in which the rights of the
users define the precision with which the signals
may be viewed. Based on the analysis of results,
the main conclusions are as follows:
The decryption depends on the proper
choosing of the keys for embedding the image
and the noise.
The image is recovered almost perfectly even
in the presence of high noise.

People experience serious and sometimes fatal health
problems following consumption of unsafe or
contaminated food. The contamination may involve
food borne disease or chemical hazards. Much of the
grain is lost as it is attacked by insects and pests in the
field and in storage. Large amount of money is lost
annually in food industry due to insect damage,
inefficient production and inspection process. Moisture
content and temperature are the two basic reasons for
growth of insects within grain. Insects eat best part of
grain which contains vitamins and minerals. Many
techniques have been developed to detect such
infested seeds. The project team has developed a
model using sound processing technique to separate
infested maize seeds from viable maize seeds. The
seeds are made to fall on a metal plate, sound
generated is detected using a microphone which is
processed using MATLAB. The output is given to a
fan, which separates the infested seeds from viable
seeds.
Objective
To detect and separate infested maize seeds from
viable maize seeds.
Methodology
The seeds are made to fall on a metal plate one at a
time. The sound signal generated is captured using a
microphone. This signal is processed using matlab
coding. Amplitude of signal is the major concern.
Amplitude of the viable seeds is greater than 0.15 V as
tested and for infested seeds amplitude is greater than
0.05V and less than 0.15V. the threshold is set to
0.15V. The amplitude is greater than the set threshold
then parallel port is deactivated and the fan remains
off. The good seeds gets collected on one side. If the
amplitude is less than the set threshold, then parallel
port is activated due to which the fan is switched on
and the infested seeds are pushed so that they are
collected on the other side.

Conclusion
This model developed is for low volume seeds and
for scientific research purpose.
Detected sound signal of the seeds is crystal clear
by using a low cost microphone.
This model can be generalized for all seeds by
studying different seed characteristic with little
improvement in mechanical assembly.
No manual labor is required for separating infested
seeds.

Introduction
Gesture recognition is human interaction with the
computer in which human gestures, usually hand
motions, are recognized by the computer.
Recognizing gestures as input might make
computers more accessible for the physically
impaired and make interaction more natural.
Gesture recognition is a process by which gestures
made by user are made known to the system.
A prototype motion processor developed allows a
computer to recognize hand motions and to display
them in real time on the computers display.
Proposed applications include word processing
using input with hand sign languages, games and
other entertainment and educational approaches in
which hand motion could result in multimedia
effects.
The most natural form of communication in man is
through gestures - visual / auditory. The aim of this
project has been to control an external hardware
using a computer without handling any special
hardware. This is achieved by using a camera that
records the gestures and feeds it to the computer,
where they are classified and corresponding control
command is initiated.
Methodology
Using MATLAB, the team has developed several
alternatives that could be used for the recognition
process of hand gestures. Just as an illustration to
the hardware control through gestures a simple
robot that can perform some basic movements like
forward, backward and rotations has been
demonstrated.
The various algorithms presented in this project
have been formulated with the aim to suggest
several alternatives for the process of gesture
recognition. The major advantage of using gestures
is to avoid the use of other interfaces based on
joysticks, track balls and data gloves. It is also able
to control computerized equipments by
communicating with the machine in a way similar to
humans i.e., by understanding visual input.
For instance where gesture recognition is used
practically, it has been interfaced a simple robot which
does the four basic motions:
Forward Motion
Backward motion
Left rotation
Right rotation

Applications
Hands free function control in vehicles and
aircrafts : a driver or a pilot could control an
auditory or visual information display while keeping
both hands on the controls.
Recognizing gestures as input make computers
more accessible for the physically impaired and
make interaction more natural.
Control and navigation in virtual environments
such as smart rooms and virtual work
environment.
Gesture may be perceived by the environment in
order to be transmitted elsewhere as a
compression technique, to be reconstructed at the
receiver.
Conclusion
The software provides a user friendly environment,
wherein the user does not know the basics of image
processing but it can fulfill the requirements of getting
the gesture recognized, so that the corresponding
specific robot motion is initiated. Hence initiating
control of a motion is made possible by a user without
manual handling any of the equipment or even any
interaction with the PC.
The code for both real and non-real still gestures and
images were developed and tested successfully. The
non-real time code for dynamic gesture i.e., video was
developed and tested also.
Overall, gesture recognition is still in its infancy and
still requires the co-operation of many disciplines. In
order to understand hand gestures for humans as well
as a computer, a lot of research is to be done in the
future in the fields of computer vision and machine
learning.

Introduction
GPS / GSM based vehicle tracking system is
designed for users in land transport businesses and
in fleet management, who requires effective and
efficient management of vehicles movement. It
provides real-time information such as location,
speed and related data of the users moving
vehicles in a concise and easy-to-read format. The
system also allows for communication between a
central command station and its vehicles in
relaying information on traffic condition and vehicle
breakdowns. Devices used are portable and can be
easily installed in all kind of vehicles or any moving
objects. The design takes into consideration
important factors regarding both position and data
communication. Thus the project integrates location
determination (GPS) and cellular (GSM) - two
distinct and powerful technologies - in a single
module.
Objective
The system described here is a design of a
prototype which is very convenient to install and too
easy to configure. Each system is equipped with a
GPS module that receives signals from series of
satellites, calculates its current geographical
location and transmits to a central server where it is
displayed on a high resolution geographical map.
The data is transmitted instantaneously after
capturing (Real Time Tracking).

Basic block diagram of Vehicle Tracking System
Methodology
The proposed system is composed of a transmitter
mounted in a remote vehicle and a receiver that can
be situated at a base station. Using the stand-alone
GPS modules, a person is able to identify his own
position. Moveover the friendly achievement of a GSM
module was to provide a wireless information-
exchange. So it was decided to use both of features to
develop the system for the vehicle tracking and
emergency communication. To design this it integrated
the GPSs ability to announce users coordinates along
with the GSMs function for communicating with control
center in a wireless fashion. In order to monitor
vehicles nearby an interest spot, each vehicle will be
equipped with a GSM / GPS mobile tracker. Each
tracker shall receive GPS information and sends it to
the control centre. Referring to these coordinates,
control center can display all of vehicles positions on
an electronic map for easily monitoring and controlling
their routes. Besides the control centre can also
maintain a wireless communication to update alarms,
status and parameters such as speed of the vehicle.

Introduction
This project is an advanced system for Toll Gate
automation and toll collection. The system is designed
such that it automatically displays the vehicle number,
checks the currency of the smart card and provides
access only after verifying the validity of the smart
card.
The system basically consists of a set of transmitter
and receiver, interfacing and processing circuit, signal
generator, display circuit, motor, etc.
This system automatically identifies the approaching
vehicle and records the vehicle number. It then
automatically opens the toll gate after electronically
deducting a specific amount from the smart card. On
the expiry of the validity the toll gate is not opened,
thereby, denying access to the vehicle.
The system is designed with an intention to reduce
manpower and enhance time management.

31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 115
Methodology
The system starts with a lump sum paid in advance
to a permanently assigned collection agencys
representative. This sum is inserted, electronically
into the memory of a microwave transponder-data-
processor, normally kept in the vehicle. As the
vehicle passes suitably equipped toll collection
facilities, a toll transponder receives billing
information from the vehicle transponder, calculates
the toll, transmits it back to the vehicle transponder
where the toll is electronically subtracted from a
stored balance. If the resulting balance is not
negative, a pass signal is flashed. The information
stored in the vehicle transponders permanent
memory includes a vehicle-owner code, a collection
agents code and a vehicle-class code. The
availability of this information and the toll plus the
procedure for increasing the prepaid balance
makes possible a computerized and automated
double entry bookkeeping and funds transfer
system. The stored current balance in the vehicle
transponder is always indicated by a finite numeric
display.

Conclusion
The project can be implemented in Toll Automation
and RTOs systems and check posts. This project
can also be implemented easily in high security
zones. It eliminates the toll payment stops and
reduces the toll facility operating costs. This system
would also reduce toll facility operating expenses,
save the time and fuel, and generate less air
pollution for neighbours.

Introduction
In multi-lingual documents the amount of
multimedia data captured and stored is increasing
rapidly with the advances in computer technology.
Script identification is key step that arises in
document image analysis especially when the
environment is multi-script and multi-lingual.
The salient features of this project is to design a
software that can read script written in most of the
INDIAN languages like Hindi, Kannada, English,
etc. Usually such type of projects undergoes the
OCR problem. OCR is a type of software designed
to translate images of text into machine editable
text. Each OCR translates text for particular
language only .So for using multi-lingual text
identify different scripts and extract parts of same
script so as to feed into particular OCR designed for
that script.
In this project first the images are scanned. The
image will be normalized, segmented and then
feature extraction is done and those features will be
fed into the neural network using a back
propagation algorithm the scripts will be
recognized. There are other methods in neural
network like feed forward, support vector machines
but back propagation is well suited. This will be the
Multi-Lingual Script Recignition System.
Objectives
To design a software that can read script many of
Indian languages.
Methodology
The script recognition system is composed of five
phases.
1. Digitization
2. Segmentation
3. Normalization
4. Feature extraction
5. Script recognition
Materials used for multi lingual script recognizer are:
1. Scanned multi-lingual image
2. MATLAB software
3. Neural network tool
Details of work carried out: First a multi- lingual
document is converted into a digitized image and later
it is normalized. Since the line by line identification of
the script is needed its further line segmented. After
line segmentation each line is again normalized. After
the important features of each line are extracted and
then it is fed into the neural network for the
recognition.
Typical final output of the system is as follows:
THE FIRST LINE OF THE SCRIPT IS HINDI
THE SECOND LINE OF THE SCRIPT IS ENGLISH
THE THIRD LINE OF THE SCRIPT IS KANNADA
Conclusion
Using the concepts of image processing and MAT LAB
its possible to design a system which could identify
the different scripts used in a document which contain
different scripts.
When a multi-lingual script document is to be
processed, the respective language OCRs are to be
used. But this MLSR allows to feed the multi-lingual
documents and helps in identifying the different
scripts.
Scope of future work
This project is dealt with noise free images. Future
system can be enhanced for noisy images.

Introduction
The group has presented an extensible vehicle that
is made to follow an intended source of sound
using microphone for the detection of sound.
Microphone can be used as the transducer.
Transducer is the device that converts any real time
physical quantity into electrical parameter.
Embedded systems are electronic devices that
incorporate microprocessors and / or
microcontrollers.
When using sound, the microphone detects the
sound and the output of the microphone is amplified
using multistage amplifier. This output is then given
to the mono stable multi vibrator. The mono stable
multi vibrator gives a single pulse at its output to the
microcontroller corresponding to the RC charging
constant. Depending upon the inputs to the
microcontroller from sensors, the microcontroller
decides upon the direction in which the vehicle has
to turn.
Objectives
A device which detects the location of source of
sound and moves in that direction for a
predetermined distance. Automated systems like
robots have become more popular for their ability to
carry out specific tasks.
Applications
It gives new dimension to defence and
reconnaissance applications.
Games can be made more enjoyable.
If the microphones are replaced by other kind of
sensors like Laser sensors, temperature
sensors can be used in different applications.
The car can be made to follow source of a
particular sound by using some resonating circuitry
or notch filters.

Block diagram
Conclusion
A car follows the source of sound or IR source. This
instrument has the ability to detect the source in the
multiple of 90 degrees. Hence it has to be used in a
silent environment. Since sound is non-directive in
nature the implementation of the project on the sound
is restricted only for two directions i.e., forward and
backward direction.

Introduction
The project is a portable tool that reads Braille and
signals close objects. It is ideal for those who are new
to Braille reading. This project uses Braille sensor (a
combination of six push buttons) to sense Braille
characters. The sensed Braille character is identified
and told to the user using speakjet / allophone and
earphone. When a full word is fed character by
character, it will pronounce the word. The push button
design makes the project simple and affordable to
blind. Since this project is targeted to blind people who
didnt master the Braille reading, it assumed they are
31

attached an IR sensor to detect whether there is
any object close to the user, in hope to reduce the
change of any unfortunate collisions.
Here microcontroller is used to control the various
actions. Microcontroller is programmed using C-
code. In human language, a phoneme is the
smallest structural unit that distinguishes meaning.
Advantages
It is a portable device
It is affordable
Helps in easy learning of Braille language.
Warns the user if there is any obstacle in from
of him.

Conclusion
The project is a means to learn Braille language for
those unfortunates who accidentally turned blind,
who is new to Braille language.
This device also helps the user to avoid any
obstacles in his path.

Introduction
The concept of microcontroller along with wireless
transmitter and receiver is used in this study and
the microcontroller plays a very important role in
this study. The microcontroller is used for
transmitting the bits to computer serially using
RS232 cable and is also used for the LCD display
in the bogey.
The wireless transmitter and receiver is used which
is RF1 transmitter-receiver with 433 Mhz frequency
which can detect the information in the range of 150
mts. Move over this frequency does not interface
with any of the banned frequency ranges.
A LCD display is used to display the particular
station. A peizo electric buzzer is proposed to be
attached in the bogey and to be used to alarm the
passengers planning to alight at the proposed
station.
Objective
The group developed a unit to fit the train bogies
(compartments) with the station monitoring system
which can wirelessly get the information from the
station masters room and can display the next
coming station name in required format inside the
bogey.
Methodology
The block diagram depicts the scenario where in
the database has been transferred to the PC on the
train and is ready to display. The PC will get the
information about the next station announcement to
be done from the RF receiver which in turn will get
the information from the RF transmitter which will
be placed in the station masters room.
The same information is then displayed using the
display module on the bogey. It proposed to use
different colored LEDs backlighting to distinguish
between the stations which are about to arrive and the
stations which have passed or crossed.

A warning alarm is fitted in bogey and all the
passengers are warned about the arrival of their
destination.
A Message announcer unit is also fitted which can
announce the name of the station and be shutdown or
muted in case of nights or evenings.

Introduction
The project aims to provide a low cost powerful chip-
chip communication link. The I
2
C (Inter-Integrated
circuit), commonly called as I squared C Bus, is a two
wire, low to medium speed communication bus,
allowing ICs to communicate with fewer pins. It is
used in many other application fields such as testing
and troubleshooting, quality control, EEPROM
programming, repair service and verification.
Data on the I
2
C-bus can be transferred at rates of up
to 100 kbit/s in the Standard-mode, up to 400 Kbit/s in
the Fast- mode, or up to 3.4 Mbit/s in the High-speed
mode.
The number of interfaces connected to the bus is
solely dependent on the bus capacitance limit of 400
pF.
Objective
To design and implement I
2
C protocol for data logging.

(slave). The data is been written and read from
EEPROM & Microcontroller for implementing data
logging. This project will be implemented using
Embedded C. The microcontroller can act as either
a master transmitter or as master receiver. The
data is transferred based on the START and the
STOP conditions initiated by the master. Each
device connected to the master is software
addressable by a unique address. Simple master-
slave relationships exist between the devices.

Block Diagram
Conclusion
The system being microcontroller using I
2
C based,
it can be used in many applications like
Cell Phones
Laptop Computers
Digital Cameras
Portable test equipments
Servers
DVD
Compared to other competing synchronous serial
interfaces, I
2
C has the least hardware requirements. It
requires minimum Installation cost, hence PCB design
methodology gets reduced to a great extent.
There is minimum wear and tear, as, any number of
devices can be added or removed without affecting
any other circuit on the bus.
Only two I/O pins of the microcontroller are needed to
communicate with multiple slaves, because each slave
is identified by its unique address, not by a separate
select line.
Because the I
2
C protocol is level-sensitive, its noise
immunity is likely to be higher than in edge-sensitive
competitors.
I
2
C slaves provide feedback to the master, which
indicates whether or not transmission was successful.
Scope For Further Development
In this project the further development can be made by
making second microcontroller to act as master using
arbitration procedure. As I
2
C supports multiple master
devices on the bus at the same time, it provides a
powerful feature that optimizes bus use by keeping
bus message traffic to a minimum.

Introduction
The bill for any household electricity keeps increasing
every year. The designed Power Monitor will easily
help you to save 10 - 20% or more on your energy
bill. The more you save, the more you help protect our
environment. It's really a simple concept - If you can
measure it, you can manage it.
The power meter we designed is cheap, and provides
accurate measurements that allow for detailed
characterization of a load. The features allow us to
obtain fly information (RMS current and voltage
values, power and frequency) at the load with the use
of an on board LCD panel. Applications for this device
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 122
can be easily extended for screening the power
consumed by 220 Volt, 50 Hz household loads.
Objectives
To interpret power consumption from various
sections of a building / different appliances and
take appropriate steps to conserve power and
use it more efficiently.
To provide a much cheaper alternative while
providing adequate functionality.
Help conserve power using the suggestions
that the device would provide through a
computer program.
Description:
Load:
The load we used comprises of two rheostats
(5amp, 100 ohms, 1kw).
Sensors:
Current and voltage transformers are used to sense
the current and voltage which serve as the
appropriate input signals for the microcontroller.
Microcontroller (PIC):
This constitutes the central processor that handles
all the data. The PIC will receive appropriate
signals from the sensors and converts these analog
signals to corresponding digital values, this
information is then used to obtain the necessary
parameters like power consumed.
LCD display
2-line LCD display unit will receive data input from
the PIC and displays the data that includes average
current, voltage, power values, and information
about the overall status of devices including
possibly a warning when any of the inputs exceed
safe limits.
Power Supply:
The transformerless power supply has been used .
This serves as an advantage for determining the
frequency of the AC line.
Methodology
The design was broken into many modules, to
specific tasks. These are:
1. Transformerless Power Supply Module
The Power Supply Module needed to convert the
AC 220 Volt, 50 Hz line input to provide regulated
outputs of 5volts.
2. Current Sensing
Current Transformer is placed in series with the load
and when current passes through this arrangement a
proportional voltage is developed across the burden
resistor.
3. Voltage Sensing
The input AC voltage is applied to a 12 volts step
down transformer. This stepped down voltage is then
given to a fullwave bridge rectifier. A capacitor
connected in parallel with voltage transformer acts as
a filter. A voltage divider circuit has been used to
further step down the voltage to values varying
between the range of 0 volts to 5 volts from 160 volts
to 250 volts .
4. Microcontroller
The Microcontroller primarily performs the function of
converting the analog signal inputs into an10 bit digital
value. It then interleaves the voltage and current data
before transmitting them as outputs. Measurements on
the waveforms to obtain the power and displays this
on a 2 X 16, black on green LCD panel.
Conclusion
1. Successfully executed the code for analog to
digital conversion.
2. LCD has been interfaced and the code for the
same has been successfully executed.
3. The experimentally determined current and
voltage values have been displayed on LCD are
verified.
4. P = VI has been calculated and displayed on the
LCD panel.
5. The power factor needs to be determined.

Introduction
Security is a primary objective of any government or
commercial organization who deal with large
number of people at any given amount of time. This
involves a constant monitoring of such areas and
thus surveillance of such situations is very
important in establishing a secure environment for
the people. Monitoring becomes a very difficult
issue without the aid of any of the electronic
devices such as cameras and CCTV. Motivation for
choosing this project is also due to passion for
aviation. The project consists of propeller driven
gas filled blimp with a wireless camera mounted on
it. The propellers are controlled using a radio
controlled joystick thus providing the needed
navigation once airborne.
Objectives
To design the wireless link between the
transmitter and receiver in order to control the
gas filled blimp wirelessly.
The blimp required to lift the system is also a
major constraint as blimp is not readily
available and thus we had to search for other
alternatives. After implementing the airborne
system, a wireless camera has to be fixed such
that the area below the system could be
monitored.
The primary concern for this project is the
weight factor and that the overall system has to
be light enough without sacrificing the important
components onboard.
Methodology
Short range wireless communication is the
cheapest and reliable medium when it comes to
operating wirelessly garage doors, remotely turning
on/off the lights or activating any switches or
equipments remotely.
Unlicensed band is used for controlling the path of
the gas filled blimp, and also relaying back the
video feed from the wireless mounted camera to
the ground-staff.
The Uhf band operating on 433 MHz is chosen for
this project as to keep interference at a low level
and too limit the length of the operating antenna to
a few inches.
Encoder/Decoder chips from Holtek
Semiconductors are used at work on the transmitter
side for encoding as well on the receiver side for
decoding.
The transmitter is powered by a 12 volt Key chain
transmitter battery for compactness or for ease of
availability.

Block Diagram Of Air Survelliance

The control of the blimp attained during the morning at
indoors was 120mts.But the same distance decreased
to about 90mts at noon. The images transferred by
the camera were in the range of 50 feet. The images
received in this distance were clear and clean. After
the distance of 50 feet the images resulted in the
distortion.
The blimp was filled with helium. We found out that the
total weight of the helium required to make the total
system air-borne was more than the weight of the total
setup plus the weight of the balloon.
This prototype which defines the cheapest way of
implementing the idea of air surveillance. With the
increase in technology and bigger budget this idea can
be made into a large scale models which then could
be given to various security agencies and even in the
police.
The power supply accounted for the maximum weight
in this system. Therefore the project was unable to
attain the maximum height.

Introduction
Most existing camera based security systems
involve the use of multiple cameras placed around
the room to be monitored. These cameras
continuously record video footage of the room and
save it on a central monitoring station.
Instead of this, it may use a different system in
which a single camera is used, that can slew
around the room and record only when it is alerted
by the presence of any intrusion. Such a system
would consist of three components - sensors that
detect intrusion; the camera that slews to the point
of intrusion and takes pictures; and the keypad
that is used to interface with the system which
allows any person to disable the system by
entering the right password.
Objectives
To design advanced security with an affordable
and less complex system referred as Invisible
Eye
Methodology
Basic block diagram of the Invisible Eye security
system.
This system consists of the following components:
Sensors
Microcontroller
Stepper motor
Camera
Personal Computer
Steps involved
Testing the source code: The source code for the
microcontroller was tested without connecting the
other parts such as the sensors and the keypad.
The signals indicating the presence of intruders
was simulated.
Testing the sensor circuit : The sensor was placed
on the surface of a table and its output was observed
for vibrations caused by tapping on the table.
Verifying the keypad interface
The next step was to verify the keypad interface to see
whether the code works properly. The code was tested
by burning into another microcontroller.
Integrating the system
By assembling the stepper motor(along with the
camera), sensor circuits and the keypad with the main
microcontroller kit.
The keypad was integrated into the system whose
activation depends on the password entered on the
keypad.

Conclusion
Invisible Eye security system solves many of the
problems faced by the multiple camera based
systems at an easily affordable cost.
The biggest advantage is that we can avoid having
to wade through hours of footage of empty rooms
One can also avoid having to install multiple
cameras to cover a single room.

Introduction
Many technologies embody the ability to locate and
track people. Person-location and person tracking
are being facilitated by new technologies like
mobile phones. The Location String display on the
cell phones is one of such features. This location
string could be used to track a person or the mobile
phone itself whose location is reasonably inferred to
be in close proximity to the actual values.
A mobile telephone is able to initiate a
communication, via the base-station that runs the
local 'cell' in which the user is currently located, and
hence the network of stations, to the desired
addressee. Even when it is 'off', or 'on standby', the
device sends transmissions to the local tower,
providing a stream of data that enables tracking of
the person's movements. These are capable of
being recorded and subsequently used and
analyzed. This particular data is used to track the
location of the person / the lost cell phone.
Objectives
To track the location of the lost cell phone or track
the location of a person without his knowledge just
by sending an SMS. This can also be used to track
the misplaced cell phones and helps in surveillance
system.
Methodology
The figure shown below represents the lost mobile
tracking system
In the lost mobile tracking system, the application is
downloaded to the 60 series cell phone using blue
tooth and kept in running mode at the background.
The application continuously listens for the
incoming SMS messages.
Whenever there is a new incoming SMS, it checks
the content on the message. If the message is in a
particular pre-defined format, say, LOC, the
application reads the number of the cell from which
the message was received. Interacts with the OS to
read the current location string, replies back to the
previously noted number and deletes the message
from Inbox and sent items as well such that the owner
of the cell phone gets no clue about the whole event.
Whenever the mobile is switched on, the Rtelserver
will check the IMSI number weather Sim as been
changed or not. if it is changed then Rtelserver will
retrieve the location string and new IMEI number and
it will send it to predefined number.
The application is designed to run in hidden mode,
such that the user will have no. idea about the
application.
Location based tasks: The server side application is
mainly running on a series 60 platform and is
developed using the symbian c++ with the symbian
operating system in it.

Conclusion
Auto reporting by mobile devices of their location.
Also delivers exact and timely surveillance data.
This system automatically starts the application
when the mobile is restarted and runs the
application in hidden mode. This application works
even if the SIM card is changed.

Introduction
Consumption of natural gas and/ or LPG is
increasing in various segments starting from
domestic cooking to industrial purposes and even in
the transportation sector. This eventually demands
for large transportation volumes, which is possible
only by way of pipelines. Leakage of gas in such
pipelines can lead to fire accidents and is a serious
threat to the environment. Hence it is necessary to
have a system in place, which can sense the gas
leakage and activate a predetermined mobile/
phone number, so that appropriate action can be
taken in time, to prevent any untoward incidents.
Objectives
To design a suitable system for detection of gas
leakage in pipelines and activate the alarm on a
predetermined phone/ mobile number.
Description
The microcontroller does all the controlling activities
system by executing a pre-stored program in its
memory. ATMELs 89C51 microcontroller was
chosen for the study. In addition, LPG sensors,
amplifiers (signal conditioners), Analog-Digital
Converter (ADC), relays, relay drives, LCD display,
modem interface etc. are used. To control the flow
through the pipeline, solenoid valves were installed
in the pipeline. The total system was designed to
work on DC power supply system using batteries.
Conclusions
The above system worked effectively and
immediately blocked the gasflow after any leakage
is detected. This reduces the fire incidents.

Introduction
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a means of
identifying a person or object using a radio frequency
transmission. The technology can be used to identify,
track, sort or detect a wide variety of objects.
Communication takes place between a reader and a
transponder often called a tag. Tags can either be
active (powered by battery) or passive (powered by
the reader field), and come in various forms including
smart cards, tags, labels, watches and also embedded
in mobile phones.
Methodology
The RFID tag is a low functionality microchip with an
antenna connected to the item to be tracked or
identified and stores the unique identification number
of the item. These chips transform the electromagnetic
energy of radio-frequency signals from a RFID reader /
transceiver to respond by sending back a signal. The
data transmitted by the tag may provide identification
or location information, or specifics about the product
tagged such as price, color, date of purchase, etc.
The readers communicate with the tags for reading /
writing the information stored on them as well as
update the servers, which may be standalone or
networked. Readers may be fixed or mobile. The
reader, an antenna packaged with a transceiver and
decoder, emits a signal activating the RFID tag so it
can read and write data. When an RFID tag passes
through the electromagnetic zone, it detects the
readers activation signal. The reader decodes the
data encoded in the tags circuit and the data is
passed to the host computer RFID system and can be
distinguished by frequency range.
Finally the data acquired by the readers is passed to a
system software, which may run special RFID software
to filter the data and route it to the correct application
to be processed into useful information.
Advantages
No line of sight needed
Fast identification rate
Unique ID code
Unattended operations are possible minimizing
human errors and high cost. No moving parts

detector & compactor circuit built on Quad Op-Amp IC
LM324; 89C51 microcontroller and buffer unit. The
program is written in such a way that once the
parameters are crossing the prescribed limit, it alarms
the buzzer. It operates on +12V single voltage power
supply circuit built around three terminal voltage
regulator.
Conclusions
The developed integrated tool functions effectively and
can also improve the fuel efficiency of the car, due to
reduction in wiring complexities. Compact in size and
can be fitted to other types of automobiles also, with
suitable modifications.

for stability when fewer tires / legs are used. A two-
wheel design with differential geared drive was
chosen for easier maneuvering and stability. The
robot has the capability of moving forward,
backward, turning left, turning right and stopping
over level surfaces according to voice commands. It
was also capable of avoiding obstacles.
Conclusion
The function of neural networks was explored in the
field of robotics.
Simple object detection and implementation of
various IR sensors was made.
Making robots from cheap and readily available
materials was performed.
The robot performed the task of learning and
adapting to the type of the object in front though
sometimes totally unexpected behaviors was
observed.
Hence a complete mobile platform for AI work
to perform was built.

Introduction
In this project every task is carried out automatically
without human intervention. A lot of malpractice that
is being done can be overcome by this project
specially weight theft and mismanagement.
In this project, a memory card is used for storing ID
number and keeps track of the dispensing of
materials for that particular month, the balance of
stock available, etc.
Methodology
This project comprises of a microcontroller, dedicated
digital weighing machine, a smart card reader and
RTC (real time clock) as main components. Each
worker is given a smart card with a unique id set for it.
After filling his sack with vegetables, he comes and
puts the contents on the weighing scale. After that
farmers smart card is inserted into the card reader,
validity of the inserted smart card is checked for by
comparing with the list of allotted ids, after which
weight of the grocery, date and time of the day are
stored in the memory and the smart card memory as
the attributes to the farmers for his days work. At the
end of the day the operator connects his device to the
computer and downloads the readings taken over the
day. All the Smart card ids have previously been
stored in the Master memory with each employee
having a unique id. After summing up the total weight
corresponding to each id, the operator calculates the
days wage of the workers. This is subsequently
updated in the database so that the workers cannot be
cheated.

Objectives
The system described is security provided for the
ATM machine itself. It is attempted by some
authorized person or user then immediately the
invalid code is accessed which drives an alarm,
door close mechanism, auto dialing arrangement
and display of the attempted ATM branch name. So
that the person can be caught easily. This system
can also be used for many other applications where
there is access control is required.
Methodology
This project aims at Opening the Bank locker and
closing the Locker can be done by just sitting in
front of PC. The program and code is provided to
the main branch manager. The main branch
manager will control the other lockers also.
This project consists of C program, when the
choice is selected i.e., open or close as per the
program is executed and the PC generates a pulse
with certain delay. When the choice is selected.
The signal from the PC parallel port is interfaced to
the FM Tx and now the FM Tx transmits the
modulated signal. This whole arrangement will be
kept in the main branch.
When the Manager gets the information from the
sub branch that the particular locker has to be
opened, then he presses the lock number in PC,
now the Tx transmits the modulated pulse with
certain delay.
The receiver receives the pulse as per the choice
pressed from the PC i.e., Open or close and
processes the signal and opens or closes the bank
locker i.e., sliding door. In this project it has
designed for one locker with frequency coding with
some carrier frequency.
Conclusion
The process attempted by some unauthorized person
or user then immediately this invalid code is accessed
which drives all the applications of such system as
LCD display, alarm generation, door close mechanism
and auto dialing. The extra control which is there with
a person is reset logic and will be given only to the
authorized person.

Introduction
In a normal scenario, during the landing of aircraft
there is only a verbal confirmation issued from the ATC
(Air Traffic Controller) to the pilot. The plane after
landing is then directed to a gate where it is parked
and the passengers can come to the lounge to collect
their baggage. Typically all the electric devices in the
lounges are controlled manually and when a flight
arrives they are activated and then later on they are
deactivated. Also the baggage collection belts are
always running. All these things lead to a lot of
wastage of power and wrong happenings (considering
accidents) owing to the human errors. Also, at the time
of the departure of the flight care should be taken on
many issues namely status of the fueling, servicing,
crew boarding, catering, security and many things that
needs to be check clearance, passenger boarding,
preliminary checks etc.
Objectives
The main objective of this project is to gain knowledge
and experience in developing a real time application
and programming the microcontroller (AT89c51),
interfacing microcontroller to other hardware. Also to
know more about problems encountering in the airport
automation.
This project is mainly concentrated on centralized
control using GSM authentication.
Methodology
The waterfall process model has been followed for the
development of this project. This model is the one of
the best process models. There are several variations
of this model. This process is best only when all the
requirements are known in advance.

Introduction
A system was developed in this project to control the
machines of factory from remote place using GSM.
GSM system uses single type of radio channel. Each
radio channel in the GSM system has a frequency
bandwidth of 200 kHz and a data rate of 270 kbps.
It is proposed to make a GSM based Industrial
Disaster Intimation Control System which can be used
to send SMS to the authorities whenever any
mishappening takes place. Fire accidents in the
industry takes if any, an automated SMS can be sent
to the nearby hospitals, fire stations and also the
higher authorities of the industry for immediate help.
Problem Statement
SMS gateway interface system uses GSM modem
which provides GSM SMS service. The system can be
controlled and monitored via SMS from anywhere that
covered by GSM service. Devices that connect to the
system like bulb, various motors can be turn ON or
OFF by sending SMS to the system also the GSM
modem sends SMS to the owner mobile when any
mishappening takes place in the industry.

Background
Premature babies condition will be very much
sensitive. So, slight changes can cause problems.
Premature babies are more prone to infection. Most
of the hospitals and nursing homes are manually
recording the temperature, pulses & conditions of
baby. This usage of manpower can lead to errors in
getting appropriate readings.
For premature babies or low birth weight babies
continuous diagnosis and care are required. But
doctor cannot monitor NICU all the time to know the
conditions of the baby. Even though nurse monitors
the conditions of the baby she can not immediately
report the same to the doctor. This group
developed a care unit for monitoring the baby.
Objective of Study
This project is mainly aimed at developing a
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with the following
features
PC Control And Monitoring of NICU
Neonatal Intensive Care Incubator (NICI)
Temperature Monitoring
Radiant warmers
Head Up and Head Down Option
Block Diagram

Fig 1: Block diagram of NICU monitoring with PC
Block Diagram Description
The temperature sensors sense the temperatures i.e.,
the baby's body temperature inside and outside the
incubator & give equivalent voltage values. These
values are then amplified and given to ADC which
gives equivalent digital O/P values to microcontroller.
The Microcontroller also gets pulse count from pulse
sensors. These values are sent to PC through serial
communication.
According to the received temperature, PC switches
ON or OFF the warmer or fan by giving particular
values to the microcontroller to maintain required
temperature. Also depending on the value given by the
PC to the microcontroller for particular bed position,
the stepper motor will rotate to maintain the required
bed position.
The Incubator is an insulated enclosure in which
environmental conditions (temperature) can be
regulated at levels optimal for growth, and metabolic
reactions to give baby proper care. Incubator
maintains the normal body temperature (i.e.27 degree
Celsius), decreases the chance of infection, and limit
water loss by maintaining the humidity level.
In the Incubator when kept in the baby mode (in critical
conditions), the sensors will be patched to the babies
skin to sense the baby's body temperature to maintain
the temperature of the environment and the required
temperature will be set from the PC by the doctor.
When kept in the Air mode (in Non-critical conditions),
the sensors will be left in the air to sense the
temperature inside the incubator to maintain the
temperature of the environment and the required
temperature will be set from the PC by the doctor. The
sensors will be clamped/patched up to the thumb, toe,
heal or ear lobule and temperature, humidity and heart
beat rate will be displayed on the PC.
Radiant warmer is an electrically warmed bed open to
the air, which is used when the medical staff needs
frequent access to the baby for care. In this the
temperature is maintained by a controlled radiation of
heat by using heat source and shade, 2 ft away from
the baby.The tray/base containing baby can be lifted
up /down near the side of head. Head Up option is
required after feeding, to stop food enter into the
trachea/respiratory system And Head Low option is
required in case of Respiratory problems.
Results and Analysis
The pulse count is measured for 10 seconds and is
converted to one minute duration.
The temperature, around 20C to 30C, is maintained
inside the incubator. The temperature sensor used
here gives 10mV per degree C.

Conclusion
In the era before NICUs, infants of birth weight less
than 1400 grams rarely survived. Now even Infants
of 500 grams at 26 weeks have a fair chance of
survival because of NICU. If NICU is automated
and monitored with PC it can improve the efficiency
to a large extent. In this unit, the temperature
values of the incubator, baby and the room are
monitored and controlled, and also the pulse rate of
the baby is monitored.
Also one can set the appropriate required
temperature inside the incubator and change the
infant care bed position through PC. Web based
remote monitoring of infant incubator is possible
and it will help doctor to monitor the NICU through
his PC.
Scope for Future Development
The database can be extended to include
information on medication, plans for care, and
parent contact information and measure of heart
beat.

Introduction
In inventory management, computers are used to
keep account of various products and generate
invoices for products sold or generate stock report
or to view accounts etc. But these are software
based solutions and does not really mean inventory
management. i.e., they are not completely
automated. For example if a product is sold the
sales person or sales executive has to enter the
products stock number or its respective code and
after entering the sold quantity the invoice is
generated. Now in this system there is a possibility
that two units are sold and the invoice is raised only
for one unit. If one person is available to manage
sales and invoice generation then it becomes quite
tedious to locate the materials and do the billing.
The proposed system will solve these problems and
hence provides an easy inventory management
where the sales person will only enter the product
required to be sold and the product will be
automatically dispensed from a automated rack and
will be transported to the counter by a convey or
system and after all the items have been
transported the bill will be generated automatically
and the dispensing bin will be closed. This is a
complete inventory management and billing system
which facilitates easy sales management.
The system needs user input on the computer and
then the requirements will be transferred to the racks
microcontroller through the serial port of the PC and
the controller will thus open the required bin and
dispense the required quantity of materials from a
carousel type dispensing unit contained in the rack.
After dispensing the material is transported by a
conveyor system located near the rack and which will
transport the materials to the attendant at the counter.
Hence every time there is no need to memorize where
the particular item is kept in the store.
Methodology
The system is designed using ATMELs AT89C52 MCU
and contains different circuitry for controlling the rack
mechanism, dispensing mechanism, and the conveyor
mechanism. The mechanical parts will be fabricated in
acrylic fiber as it is easily available and is easier to
transform. The mechanism contain stepper motor for
driving, transporting and dispensing or locating
purposes. The feedback from the mechanism is taken
through opto-interrupters which will be located in
various parts of the rack and also the conveyor
mechanism.
The system is based upon a bucket type chain drive
mechanism in which the buckets will always be aligned
to the center of gravity and hence will never be tilted
which makes it fail. Later the materials stored in the
buckets are dispensed by a carousel type tray with
one dispensing groove through which the items are
released. The conveyor system is also equipped with
small trays to hold the items dispensed and a drive
mechanism will help in transporting the same. All these
functions are controlled by a microcontroller by suitably
providing the outputs to different motors and at the
same time will also take feedback from the opto-
interrupters for monitoring successful completion of
tasks. The search and dispense input to the MCU will
be supplied by the PC software and PC will
communicate with the MCU via serial port. The system
is not dependent on material shapes but will be limited
to sizes.
Advantages
Easy inventory and sales management
Automatic billing
Employed for dispensing spare parts, medicine,
bottles and also can be implemented in library.
Conclusion
The Smart Rack Inventory Management system
designed was successfully tested with different bins

Introduction
This system uses the Biometric Technology as the
technique with which the security is provided.
Biometric Technology is used to accurately identify
and verify an individual's identity. This involves
identifying his physiological and behavioral
characteristics. Biometrics, in general, refers to the
study of biological characteristics. With reference to
computer security, it refers to authentication
techniques using biological characteristics that are
measurable or identifiable and unique to an
individual. The most familiar biometric technology is
finger print technology.
Fingerprinting, as the name suggests, is the
acquisition and storage of the image of the
fingerprint. Fingerprint matching is by far the most
successful biometric technology because of its
ease of use, non-intrusiveness and reliability.
Fingerprints consist of ridges and valleys fonned in
complex patterns that are unique for every person
and thereby provide an optimal verification method.
Minutia based and pattern based matching. These
two methods evaluate fingerprint images in different
ways; minutia matching compares specific details
within the fingerprint ridges while pattern matching
compares the overall characteristics of the
fingerprints.
Objective
To overcome proxy voting invalid votes and voting
more than one time. The existing electronic voting
methods are not secure enough. Biometrics solves
these above issues. Every person's finger prints are
unique. Therefore it makes sense to use these
unique features of the person as a means for
authentication.
Methodology
When a user places their finger on NITGEN's
Fingerprint Recognition Device (FRD) for the first
time, the fingerprint is scanned and a 3-D
fingerprint image is captured. All fingerprints
contain a number of unique physical characteristics
called minutiae, which includes certain visible aspects
of fingerprints such as ridges, ridge endings, and
bifurcation (forking) of ridges. Most of the minutiae are
found in the core points of fingerprints and the core
points themselves are found near the center of the
fingerprint on the fleshy pad.
The user is enrolled, or registered, in the database
after a special minutiae-based algorithm extracts key
minutiae points from the live image at the time of
acquisition and converts the data into a unique
mathematical template comparable to a 60-digit
password. This unique template is then encrypted and
stored - it is important to note that no actual image of
the fingerprint is stored, only the minutiae-based
template. The next time a new fingerprint image for an
individual is scanned by the FRD, another template is
created and the two templates are compared to verify
the users identity.
Conclusion
There is no security system that is completely
foolproof. Every system is breakable with an
appropriate amount of time and money. The
techniques used to prevent the attacks help to
increase the time, and cost of money. Fingerprints can
be easily discovered from touched surfaces and can
be copied in a small amount of time using readily
available materials. All the live-ness detection
mechanisms in fingetprint systems can be easily
defeated using wafer thin gelatin and silicon artificial
fingetprints.
Biometric systems using fingetprints and face are
sufficiently robust to be used as an authentication
system for time and attendance and access control for
low security systems. Biometric systems can be used
to supplement the existing technologies rather than
replacing them completely, to provide a highly secure
user authentication.
Future Scope
In this system for verification purpose fingerprint
scanner is used. In future one can implement this
system by using other biometric devices such as facial
pattern scanner, eye retina scanner and hand
geometry scanner.

Introduction
EMBEDDED systems play a vital role in
automation. Embedded system is a combination of
hardware and software designed to perform special
functions and take decisions in different condition
based on the program, which are built-in and have
all the facilities to change the hardware processing
power. It is used in the systems like Microwave
Ovens, Washing Machines, Heaters, Remote
controls etc. One of the main advantage is that by
changing the contents of the program we get
different accuracy outputs without changing all the
hardware components.
Objectives
To make special purpose machine performing
certain repetitive functions to work automatically by
interfacing electronic components. The system
must be providing wireless sensing capability. The
system should have least number of electronic
components for automation. The design of the
control system should be simple and accurate.
There should be least requirement of power for
controlling.
Methodology
Atmel 89c52 microcontroller is used to automate
various functions which is coupled with buffer to
provide load current to the further device and buffer
IC 74245. It is then further coupled to opto coupler
to provide perfect isolation as in the practical plant
the power supply will be very high. Then it is
followed by a stage of magnetic based interface
relay because switching of the external device with
high power cannot be done by simple opto
couplers. The external working devices like
conveyors and coolers are then switched using
those relays. Parameters for sensing are
temperature control, gas sensing, fire sensing etc.
As the control unit is switched ON, the furnace
starts getting preheated to a known amount of time.
Then the loading unit starts its operation, by picking
up the raw material from the raw material bin and
loading into the furnace. The raw material starts
melting. It is totally melted at the required
temperature, further stepper motor which is coupled
to the tilting unit of a furnace start tilting, pouring the
melted material into a collecting chute and goes
back to its initial position. By opening the chute gate
the molten material rushes into the mould which is
placed on the conveyor belt. As soon as the mould
gets filled the conveyor belt starts moving after
some delay and the mould enters into the cooling
tower. The other empty mould which is kept on the
conveyor belt automatically comes to the collecting
point. In the cooling tower the mould gets cooled
gradually, to avoid cracks & damages (flaws) on the
wheel casting. Hence the process repeats for the
next wheel automatically.
All the functions explained above are operated in a
synchronous manner for a prcise amount of time.
This prcise amount of time is specified in the program
which is embedded in the microcontroller.
The Microcontroller gives signal to the interfacing card
to perform some operation through relays &
transistors. When interfacing card gets signals the
respected relays get energized which has been
connected to the respective functional units to perform
its operation which is controlled through the program.

This process is very cost effective and simple
technique that can be carried out and type of
automation and there are many techniques for further
variations and improvements. Further interfaced many
other devices along with present connections without
any loading on the controller. Even it can sense
hundreds of parameters and even provide feedback
for automatic action like the temperature increases
drastically, automatically the heating unit switches off
or there is smoke generation abnormally, the furnace
gets switched off and the extinguisher switches on.

Introduction
Metal parts often fail their intended use not because
they fracture, but because they wear, which causes
them to loose dimension and functionality. This
wear may be due to metal to metal wear, abrasive
wear or environmental wear. As wear is a surface
or near surface phenomenon it has been realized
that the wear resistance of a component can be
improved by providing a surface of different
composition from that of the base material.
Hardfacing which is also known as hard surfacing is
the application of buildup or wear resistant weld
metal to a part's surface by means of welding or
joining. In general hard facing is a process of
depositing, by one of various welding techniques, a
layer or layers of metal of specific properties on
certain areas of metal parts that are exposed to
wear.
In industries hardfacing is used in two main areas.
First one is to buildup or rebuildup of worn
components and the second one is in overlaying or
hardsurfacing of new components to protect from
wear. The main advantages of hardfacing are:
Reduction of cost: Restoring a worm part to as
new condition.
Prolongation of equipments life: Life increases
to 3 to 1 0 times.
Reduction in down time: Parts lost longer and
fewer shutdowns.
Reduction in spare parts inventory: As there is
no need to keep numerous spare parts when
worn parts can be rebuilt.
Hard faced parts can be manufactured from
cheaper base metals.
Hard facing is normally done on cheaper base
metals like stainless steels, manganese steels,
castirons and caststeels, nickel base alloys and
copper base alloys. For facing alloys such as
cobalt, chromium, tungsten carbide, chromium-
manganese, iron and iron base alloys containing
various percentages of cobalt, chromium, vanadium
and moly1xlenum are commonly used. All these
alloys are good for extreme abrasion, severe
impact and high temperature applications.
Objectives
The objective of this investigation is to conduct a
comparative analysis of conventional hard facing
electrodes.
Methodology
The main principle steps in the investigation are:
Determination of type and degree of wear on the
base metal.
Estimation of area that needs to be hard faced.
Selection of an appropriate hard facing alloy.
Preparation of the surface to be hardened.
Application of the hardfacing alloy on the base
metal.
Imparting proper surface finish to the hard faced
base metal component.
Wear testing and analysis.

Conclusion
Limited-layer products usually are in the metal carbide
families, such as chromium carbide and tungsten
carbide. One can apply Martensite and Austenite
products in unlimited layers unless the manufacturers
specifies.
The project team have limited the welding up to three
layers only because increase in the number of welding
layers, the brittle nature of the metal carbides lead to
check-cracking and as multiple layers are applied,
stress continues to build, concentrating at the root of
the check-cracks and this we can see in the crack
formation in the tested specimen.
From the experimental results it is seen that the loss in
weight goes on decreasing from the base metal and
the ones which are hard faced in 1, 2 and 3 layers
respectively. This is because of the reducing dilution
by the base metal with the weld deposits. So with the
increase in the weld passes, hardness decreases but
the wear resistance of the cultivator spike increases.
Thus from this study it can say that the wear
resistance property of the material can be improved by
hard facing.
So, we come to the conclusion that the life of the
agricultural equipment can be increased by hard facing
and the capability of hard facing as an important
source of savings. The cost of its application can be
estimated.

Selection of the process and of welding position
has a major influence on the total cost. The
following cost elements should also be taken into
account:
Volume of materials to be deposited.
Process to be used.
Deposit efficiency (ratio of deposited material to
consumable materials used).
Operating efficiency (ratio of deposit time to
total time including set-up preparation,
transportation, financing etc.).
Consumable cost (flux, gas and power,

ABRASIVE HOT AIR BLASTING
MACHINE FOR ETCHING GLASS
AND CERAMIC MATERIALS

Introduction
Recent development on special purpose
componens such as semiconductors processing
parts, sensors for machining technologies, hard and
brittle materials such as glass, ceramics are
generally difficult to machine due to their properties
like extreme hardness, brittleness, corrosion
resistance, etc. Using conventional machining
technologies are difficult since thermal or electrical
machining methods (such as chemical etching,
laser and electron beam machining, EDM and
electrolytic machining) cause an effective heat
affected zone, while using mechanical machining
methods (such as ultrasonic machining, Grinding,
polishing) have limitations in productivity and
accuracy.
Thus abrasive hot air blast machining (AHABM) we
consider as one of the most appropriate machining
methods for hard and brittle materials.
In this project, an attempt has been made to develop
model of blasting process and an experimental set up
of Abrasive hot air blasting machine.
Objectives
To design and develop an Abrasive Hot Air Blasting
Machine for Etching & Drilling on brittle materials like
glass & ceramic.
Principle
The basic machining principle of Abrasive hot air
blasting machining (AHABM) is the abrasives
accelerated by high compressed hot air are forced
through a nozzle and collide with hard and brittle work
pieces at a very high velocity (80-500 m/s) and
density. Since the material removal process of AHABM
is performed by an integration of brittle mode
machining based on micro crack propagation, there is
very little heat, chipping, and crack generation in the
work piece. Thus this method is very suitable for the
machining of micro shapes of hard and brittle materials
(such as glass, ceramics, silicon etc).
Procedure
Air is pressurized by a compressor. A part of the air is
passed through heating chamber, where the
compressed air gets heated and then lead through
bypass branch and flows through the (also
pressurized) storage vessel, which contains the
abrasive material. The abrasives mixed with hot air
combines with main flow to form abrasive hot air jet.
This high-pressure jet is expanded in a nozzle made
up of hard material (Sapphire/Tungsten carbide). The
concentration of the abrasive particles in the jet can be
adjusted by the amount of hot air passing through the
bypass branch. The valve below the abrasive storage
can control the flow rate.
Precautions taken
Pressure in the abrasive chamber must be less
than the pressure in the mixing chamber.
Abrasive must be sieved properly.
Nozzle must be clean no obstacle must be
present.
Stand off distance should be properly set.
Temperature of air should exceed the softening
point of the work piece.

Conclusion & Scope Of Future Work
The machine is compact in size and feasible from
economic point of view.
The variable parameters like Stand off distance
(SOD), pressure of air, temperature of air and the
size of the abrasives influence material removal
rate (MRR).
The mechanical properties of glass are altered
by the influence of hot air, causing an increase
in rate of erosion of material.
MRR is increases with reducing SOD at
different air temperatures
Roughness of machined surface reduces and
MRR increases with temperature of the carrier
gas.
The etched surface quality is improved by
using hot air.
Protection of maskant is improved due to hot
air.
The operations like Drilling, Cutting, Etching,
Deburring, Edge generating and Grooving can
be performed.
The processes of etching and grooving can also be
performed on granite and other composite materials of
high brittleness.
CNC table can be used for feeding the work material.

Introduction
Anti-lock braking systems use different schemes
depending on the type of brakes in use.
Four-channel, four-sensor ABS: With this setup,
the controller monitors each wheel individually to
make sure it is achieving maximum braking force.
Three-channel, three-sensor ABS: This system
provides individual control of the front wheels, so
they can both achieve maximum braking force.
The rear wheels, however, are monitored together;
they both have to start to lock up before the ABS
will activate on the rear. With this system, it is
possible that one of the rear wheels will lock
during a stop, reducing brake effectiveness.
One-channel, one-sensor ABS: This system
operates the same as the rear end of a three-
channel system. The rear wheels are monitored
together and they both have to start to lock up
before the ABS kicks in. In this system it is also
possible that one of the rear wheels will lock,
reducing brake effectiveness.
Objective
To device a mechanical anti-lock braking system for
remote controlled car.
Methodology
Components used in the mechanical-ABS:
1. Solenoid
2. Timer circuit
3. ABS switch
4. 1.2Ah 12V DC supply
Operation
The solenoid, timer circuit, ABS switch and battery are
mounted on the car as shown in the picture below. Our
car is operated by a remote control system, which
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 140
controls the two servo motors. One servo is used to
control the steering mechanism and other is used to
control the throttle valve and ABS mechanism.

The throttle valve and ABS mechanism are made to
operate relative to each other by using a single
servo motor. Closing and opening the throttle valve
is controlled by rotation of the servo motor which is
controlled by remote control. While closing the
throttle valve, at certain position of the throttle valve
the solenoid is made to activate, by using the ABS
switch, thereby DC current is supplied through the
timer circuit. Due to this the alternate breaking
effect is generated. This effect remains till the
sufficient level of throttle valve closing.
Once the throttle valve closed down to its minimum
level, the DC current is made to pass directly to the
solenoid. Due to this the continuous braking effect
is generated there by stopping the vehicle
completely. This position of the solenoid remains till
the throttle valve is opened again from its closed
position to increase the speed of the vehicle. As
soon as the throttle valve is opened the ABS switch
disconnects timer circuit and there by power supply.

Introduction
Biometrics is the measurement of a unique physical
characteristic, is an ideal solution to the problem of
digital identification. Biometrics makes it possible to
identify ourselves to digital systems, and through these
systems identify ourselves to others in Cyberspace.
With biometrics we create a digital persona that makes
our transactions and interactions in Cyberspace
convenient and secure. Of all the biometrics available,
including face, iris and retina scanning, voice
identification, and others, the fingerprint is one of the
most convenient and foolproof.
Human fingerprints have been considered as a unique
signature certifying one's identity. Fingerprint
verification is currently the most popular technique of
biometric personal identification.
In this project, the design and implementation of a
prototype of an automatic verification system is
considered. The high matching rate achieved in this
project suggests that an efficient small-scale
fingerprint verification system is feasible.
Objective
To design a system to authenticate the user based on
the fingerprint.
Methodology
Here the fingerprint captured from the image in
converted into a template. The fingerprint of the user is
scanned and stored in the database, for further
verifications the template in the database is referred
for authentication purpose.
The design process consists of four distinct stages:
partitioning, communication, agglomeration and
mapping.
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 141
1. Partitioning: The computation that is to be
performed and the data operated on by this
computation are decomposed into small tasks.
2. Communication: The communication required
to coordinate task execution is determined,
and appropriate execution structures and
algorithms are defined.
3. Agglomeration: The task and communication
structures defined in the first two stages of a
design are evaluated with respect to
performance requirements and implementation
costs.
4. Mapping: Each task is assigned to a module in
a manner that attempts to satisfy the
competing goals of maximizing resource
utilization and minimizing computation costs.

Introduction
Automation is the use of control systems such as
computers to control machinery and processes,
replacing the human operators.
For homes with larger dimensions, physically
monitoring and controlling the appliances
independently can be a difficult task for the user.
Hence there is a necessity of monitoring and
controlling the appliances using a centralized and/or
automated home control mechanism.
PC based Home Automation provides an easy and
convenient way to control and monitor various devices
in home, such as lights, fans, audio/video gadgets and
more. The user can schedule the period to switch on
the devices and even vary the parameters. The
system alarms the user in case of fire hazards.
Objective
To control the electrical equipments/appliances in
homes like motors, fans, tube lights, heaters, etc.,
using a PC.
31

User can monitor and operate the electrical
equipments/appliances with a PC.
Timing operation of the machines & other
equipments can be set for a cycle of 24 hours.
It includes fire and smoke sensor modules that
indicate any possible fire hazards.
Methodology
Block Diagram

When the circuit is switched ON, the PC sends the
reset signal so that the circuit is reset for fresh start.
The time schedule of the operation of equipments is
entered by the user. Based on the input, the PC
switches on/off the relevant equipments through the
relays. The application sends 6-bit control
signals(actually 8 are available) to the circuit board,
out of which first four bits are used to on/off any AC
operated loads. The 5
th
bit is used to reset the
circuit for the fresh operation and the 6
th
bit is used
to control the load with varying parameters such as
speed/intensity of devices. Besides all these
circuitry, smoke & fire sensor modules are used to
indicate any possible fire hazards. The power
supply stage supplies the required working voltages
to the whole circuit board. Buffers are used to
provide extra current drive at the output. The buffer
used is 16-pin DIL packaged IC 4050.
Driver
The driver stage boosts the signals first, then
senses all bit status and according to that, switches
the respective driver circuit.
Variable AC Driver
This stage mainly controls the AC Power supplied
to the load. As per the status of control signal bits
the power supplied to the AC driven load is controlled
and hence the speed of fan or intensity of bulb can be
varied as per users requirement.
Details of Design
Circuit Description
The circuitry consists of following stages:
Interface Stage
Smoke & Fire Sensor Stage
Counter & Relay Stage
Load controlling Stage
Regulated power supply Stage
Interface Stage
This Stage takes 6-bit signal as input. It provides
interfacing with the printer port of the Personal
Computer and the controlling circuitry.
Smoke & Fire Sensor Stage
This stage alarms the user in case of smoke and fire
hazards. It consists DR25 as fire sensor and LDR and
light source as smoke sensor.
Counter & Relay Stage
This stage is used to vary the parameters like
speed/intensity of the devices.
Load controlling Stage
This stage has a Triac and Diac combination which
supplies regulated AC to the Load.
Regulated power supply Stage
This stage supplies the required working voltages to
the whole circuit board. It consists of IC 7805 and IC
7812 for providing +5V and +12V respectively.
Conclusion
PC Based Home Automation project mainly focuses
on the control of home appliances using a PC. In the
present system, the user had to manually control the
devices. The proposed system has provided a better
option by handling all the devices centrally using a
personal computer.
The following improvements can be made to the
present work
Overheating of the machines can be sensed by a
thermister and signal to switch off that particular
equipment can be sent to PC through the
comparator (A/C converter).
During operation, the fault can be sensed and the PC

Introduction
Temperature is the most fundamental parameter. It is
required in the routine control of industrial plant and in
carrying out performance and acceptance trails. The
conditions under which temperature has to be
measured, differ so widely that no fixed rules can be
laid down, all that is essential is that one should select
the most appropriate method of temperature
measurement for any given case and should fully
under stand the sources of error and the limitations
inherent in each method and precautious to be
observed in the use of that particular instrument.
The project work designed with two microcontroller

an intelligent scheme is adapted, which in turn
controls the supply voltage that is applied to the
heating element through Thyrister according to the
liquid level.
Objective
To design an Embedded Based Fluid Level and
Proportionate Programmable Temperature
Controller for Process Automation.
Methodology
Components used: Temperature sensors,
Analogue - digital converter, clock generator, micro
controler, keyboard, LCD for display, opto couplers.
Circuitry : Temperature sensing circuit and Liquid
level sensing circuit.
Necessary programs were developed and
fabrication for demonstration unit was done.
Operation
Initially, the process begins from temperature
sensor, the output of the sensor varies according to
the temperature and it is amplified, amplified signal
is converted in to digital, depending up on the
digital value obtained from the ADC, the controller
displays the liquid temperature in degree centigrade
and controls the heating element according to the
liquid temperature.
System is designed as programmable, so that the
required temperature (from above room
temperature to 800 C approximately) can be
maintained constantly. The required temperature
data can be entered through keyboard, and same
can be displayed through LCD panel.
The temperature values also displayed in two
steps, i.e., actual value and set value.
Depending up on the liquid level, the Thyrister gate
pulse (duty cycle) is adjusted automatically.
The program is prepared fro displaying the liquid
level also; level is displayed in four steps, i.e. a)
high b) above normal c) below normal and d) low.
When the temperature is exceeded more than the
set value, immediately controller energizes the fan
and break supply to the heating element through
relay contacts. All above features are included in
the project work.
Conclusion
Two different types of display systems are
designed for displaying the set value and actual
value of the temperature, the actual value is
displayed through seven segment LED display,
which is interfaced with first microcontroller unit.
The idea of using this diaplay is to monitor the
actual value of temperature from a distance
(without going near to the instrument), because
the operator must have a contimuous vigilance
over the actual temperature.
The set value need not to be monitored
continuously, there by for displaying the set value
LCD panel is used and it is connected to the
output port of second microcontroller unit.

USING VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTATION

GUIDE : PROF. RAJANNA GIRADDI
STUDENTS : KASIM SAB

Introduction
Virtual instrumentation is the use of customizable
software and modular measurement hardware to
create user-defined measurement systems, called
virtual instruments. Traditional or natural
instrumentation systems are made up of pre-defined
hardware components, such as digital multi-meters
and oscilloscopes that are completely specific to their
stimulus, analysis, or measurement function. Because
of their hard-coded function, these systems are more
limited in their versatility than virtual instrumentation
systems. The primary difference between natural
instrumentation and virtual instrumentation is the
software component of a virtual instrument. The
software enables complex and expensive equipment
to be replaced by simpler and less expensive
hardware.
A synthetic instrument performs a specific synthesis,
analysis, or measurement function on completely
generic, measurement agnostic hardware. Virtual
instruments can still have measurement specific
hardware and tend to emphasize modular hardware
approaches that facilitate this specificity.
Methodology
The robotic arm movement and control is often
encountered for many applications such as object
picking, placing and packaging etc. Using stepper
motors, which have got limited, fine and precise
degree of rotational resolution beyond which the motor
cannot stop / stay in that particular position backlash is
observed, does all these. It requires stepper motor coil
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 145
position decoding circuit, which is economic, user
friendly and most adoptable method.
The stepper motors are widely used in the industrial
robotic arm control applications due to the ease of
position control. In closed-loop system, the position
can be maintained constant by adjusting the motor
terminal voltage. Smaller DC motors operate at
lower voltages, which make them easier to interface
with control electronics. Major problem in applying a
conventional control algorithm in a position
controller is the effects of nonlinearity in a DC
motor. Emerging intelligent techniques have been
developed and extensively used to improve or to
replace the conventional control techniques
because these techniques do not require a precise
model.
Conclusion
The present system is unidirectional control system
i.e., data from PC can be transmitted to the external
device / circuitry. Further the bidirectional data
transfer can be done i.e., Data from the PC to
external world.
1. Data from external world into the PC can be
transmitted.
2. Labview based parallel port data acquisition
system for Laboratory experiments / small
experiments / dedicated system can be
designed and constructed using the theory.
This would be cost effective.

Introduction
In India, being a rural dominated country, almost all
the states have subsidized ration distribution to help
the poor. Until now, the ration dispensing system is
manual and through fair price depots. In this
manual distribution system there can be theft and
clerical errors in the entries. To overcome these,
there is a need for an automatic ration dispenser.
Objective
To design and manufacture an Automated Ration
Dispenser
Methodology
The automatic ration dispenser system works with a
single semiconductor type of ID card, in which each
customers information like customer ID, name,
allocated quota, whether this months ration is taken or
not, how much is taken etc. are fed. It consists of three
sections viz. ID card section; Dispenser Section and
off-track section. The ID card stores the ration
dispensed information and can be read or written or
modify the stored data. The dispenser section
executes the command sent by the PC on how much
ration is to be discharged and also displays the
command execution on LCD. The off-track section
takes care of proper placement of containers below
the dispenser cone and if the container is not properly
placed, the buzzer will be alarmed.
The essential components of the ID card section
include ID card, card holder, buffer, indicator and a
computer with software. The dispensing section
includes buffer & drive unit, switches & relays, vending
machine with motor, microcontroller chip and LCD
module. The off-track section includes light source,
sensor, light sensitive switch, buzzer and power supply
unit. The PC reads the customer information from the
card and based on the input command by the operator
activates the vending machine to dispense the quantity
of ration entered. Once the dispensing is over, it
automatically stores the data into the card. The card
has an erasable type of memory, to facilitate easy
writing/ editing and so on.
Conclusions
Very useful and effective in overcoming the human
errors and dependency. Also this can be used for wide
range of applications. The only disadvantage is that
illiterate people find it difficult to operate and need
some training.

Introduction
Pneumatics system work with pressurized gases that
are used to transmit and control power. As the name
implies pneumatic system typically use air (rather than
gas) as a fluid medium because air save is safe, low
cost and readily available. It is particularly safe in
environments where an electrical spark could ignite
fluids leaking for system components.
There are several reasons for preferring pneumatics
system to hydraulic system. Liquids exhibits inertia
than do gases. Therefore in hydraulics system the
weight of the oil is a potential problem when
accelerating and decelerating actuators and when
suddenly opening and closing valve. Due to Newtons
second law of motion, the force required to accelerate
oil is many times greater than that required to
accelerating an equal volume of air. Liquids also
exhibits greater viscosity than gases, these results in
large frictional pressure and power losses. Since
hydraulic substances are fluids foreign to the
atmosphere, they require special reservoirs and no
leak system designs, pneumatic system use air that is
directly exhausted into the atmosphere.
Methodology
Constructional features: Two solenoid switches are
provided which are connected to the main inlet of the
compressor and each of these solenoids are intern
connected to each cylinder by two lines. The cylinder
ram is connected to the crank connecting lever
through the connecting bush, which is connecting the
crank shaft which rotates the crank plate which is held
between the axles held within the ball bearing housing.
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 147
Operational features: When the supply of air is
push of the ram of the cylinder completes the half
turn of the crank plate and starts and stops at the
limit switch which is preset as per the stroke
required. The solenoid switch opens the pressure
line connected to the cylinder to push the ram and
returns back by the opening of the opposite port to
push back the ram, completing the full cycle.
Hybridization: In conventional vehicles, the entire
power is derived from the IC engine, so it is
obligatory to size the enzine larger than the
necessary for its cruising speed. The engine is to
be designed to account for peak power
requirements like acceleration. This over sizing the
engine shifts the operating point from its efficient
zone and this adversely affects the fuel economy
and emissions. The idea of hybridization is that a
part of the total power required can be replaced by
an auxillary power source, generally a motor
powered by pneumatics. Hence the IC engine can
be designed for average load and can be operated
with better fuel efficiency.
Conclusion
Torque, speed and power characteristics are
the deciding factors in selection of a pneumatic
engine to power a vehicle.
The maximum speed of 270 rpm at pressure of
0.25N/mm
2

is achieved at constant load
condition for this setup.
From pressure v/s speed curve it is found tha
the shaft speed is controlled by varying input
pressure to the pneumatic cylinders.
Less wear and tear, low investment and
pollution free.
For longer running distances, adequate air
storage facilities are needed to be developed.
In order to evolve sucessful pneumatic vehicle,
it is important to develop not only an efficient
engine but also an adequate light weight air
storage system mechanism for recharging of
compressed air and suitable method for
controlling the air flow.
Design and development of air flow control
system and air storage facilities for a pneumatic

Introduction
The motor vehicles are common in the 21st century
and so widely used, humans are continuously exposed
to air pollution from motor vehicles. Toxic and
carcinogenic air pollutants from motor vehicles are of
concern because they are known or suspected of
causing cancer in humans and pose a threat even at
very low levels.
Hydrocarbons and nigrogen oxides from motor
vehicles form smog (ground level ozone), which
damages lung tissue and aggravates respiratory
disease. Children and elderly are especially vulnerable
to smog.
Smog from motor vehicles inhibits plant growth and
can cause widespread damage to crops and forests.
Air pollution from motor vehicles contributes to the
formation of acid rain and global warming.
Advances in vehicle emission control technology are
making it possible to produce new vehicles with lower
emissions. Electric vehicles sometimes referred to as
Zero-emission Vehicles are gaining attention as an
option for improving air quality.

Introduction
As cutting operation is common in every industry,
the conventional machines used for cutting are
Band Saw, Power Hacksaw which takes more time
are being used. For this, the solution is a cut-off
machine which is rapid in its cutting with accuracy
and also economical. The cutoff wheel is used in
this machine is made of abrasive material. These
cut-off machines have entered the market and have
become a fast moving item as it gives high
efficiency. But the only disadvangate is tht it can cut
at a max of two axis. Within a boundary of particular
size of work depending on its motor capacity for
larger jobs, for which a machine of higher capacity
is required and also the job must be confined within
the work table. So keeping all this in mind this
machine is designed which will overcome all these
problems. This machine has 3 degrees of freedom,
three axis movements and also the capacity of the
machine can be varied by just changing the motor
and can also cut work piece of any size. It has a
semi automatic vice powered by two motors which
can move in perpendicular directions to each other
which is useful in continuous production processes.
Methodology
Multi-axis cut off machines use abrasive cutters to
cut metals like rod, pipe, flats, etc. Abrasive cutters
may be replaced by the normal cutters for cutting
wood and tipped cutters for aluminium. This machine
can cut in all 3 directions i.e., x, y and z axis, in a
single setting any type of cutting is possible. This
machine has the feature that can move the whole
setup up and down, so that if the job or cutter varies in
size then it can be moved up and down. If the jobs
cannot be placed on the work-table it can be cut by
placing it outside the work table and by cutting it since
the whole cutting set-up can be rotated around the
column. A special attachment having x-y motion is
placed on the work-table so that the job can be moved
in either direction for faster and effective cutting.

Conclusions
Speed can be varied just by changing the pulley or
motor.
If high power is required motor of higher capacity
can be fixed.
Different cutters can be used depending on the job
to be cut like wood, metal, aluminium, etc.
Milling operations like end-milling and side-milling
with draft can be done using this machine.
The traverse movement attachment provided at
the table base of the machine provides milling
operation to achieve different irregular shapes.
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 149
Cutter can be moved around the table (360)
and cutter can tilt up to 90 on one side.
This project is a modification of the basic cut-off
machine such that it can be used by small scale
industries in a very efficient way so that one
machine is capable of doing multi-functional
works.
This machine is not only an improvement in its
own cutting field but also in drilling and milling
also. This gives a wide space for working as it
is not confined to its table but also outside the
work space around its radial length.

Introduction
Solar energy is promising renewable energy source
nowadays. Earth receives approximately 1400 w/m
2

of energy, but it is not being utilised effectively
because it is not always at favourable angle for
collection.
Aim of the project is to collect most of energy from
sun throughout the day effectively by rotating the
solar panel so that sunrays fall almost normally on
the collector surface at all times during the day.
We are making use of mechanism consisting of
mechanical components to rotate the collector plate
15 degree per hour (solar hour angle).
Objectives
The objective of this project is to device a
mechanism, which makes the solar panel to face
the sun light always to improve the efficiency of the
solar panel output. The tilting mechanism should
work according to suns posititon at all times of the
day.
The mechanism should work without using
electrical energy (or any other external source) and
it consisting purely mechanical components.
If once the power or energy is stored in the spring
which is created by winding the spring, it will rotate
the mechanism for few days. This system is high
reliable and it consume maximum sunlight
automatically.
Methodology
Components used
Balance Spring, Balance Wheel, Barrel, Bridge,
Crown, Escapement Wheel, Escapement, Ainspring,
Pallet
Functions of components used in this mechanism:
1. The spring - this provides the energy to turn the
hands of the mechanism.
2. The weight gear train - a high-ratio gear train,
transmits the motion of the spring, so that you
dont have to rewind the mechanism very often.
3. The escapement - made up of the pallet, the
anchor and the escapement gear, the escapement
precisely regulates the speed at which the spring's
energy is released.
4. The hand gear train - gears things down so the
minute and hour hands turn at the right rates.
5. The setting mechanism - somehow disengages
slips or ratchets the gear train so the mechanism
can be rewound and set.
Working Mechanism
The solar panel is mounted on rod by using hinges,
which is tilted or track according to the movement of
the sun by using mechanism. The mechanism consists
of number of gears, balance wheel, spring, crown and
shafts. The potential energy is stored in the spring by
winding the coil, this energy is used for actuating the
mechanism. The potential energy of the spring is
released gradually by means of escapement wheel,
and the final energy obtained by the mechanism is
used for tracking the panel.
1. This mechanism rotates the collector plate 15
degree per hour (solar hour angle).
2. Automatic tracking of solar collector plate rotate in
both direction (i.e forward and backward
directions).
3. The design mechanism consists of only
mechanical components.
4. This mechanism consumes little energy for
operation and contributing towards increasing the
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 150
productivity of the solar panel. This is the fist
attempt made towards utilizing the spring
energy as a driving force for solar tracking
system and also can be used in remote places.

It consists of a manipulator used to pick a
component from a conveyor which is then
transferred to an indexing station. The manipulator
is made of pneumatic cylinder and vacuum cup,
and the conveyor and indexing station are driven by
DC motors. The component transferred to the
indexing station is a wooden block, will undergo
height inspection by laser measuring system. If
height is more than 60mm it will be rejected and
picked and placed in the indexing station. If the
height is less than 60mm is will pass through and
will fall in a bin. The whole unit is PLC controlled.

Pneumatic circuit

Introduction
Raising crude oil prices internationally, is driving the oil
importing countries like India, to search for alternative
energy sources. Biodiesel, is one such material, that
can be used as an alternate to conventional petroleum
diesel, without any major changes in the engine
design. Until now, the work on biodiesels is based on
methyl esters of vegetable oils like sunflower,
soyabeen etc., which makes its usage limited due to
their high cost. Hence there is a need to establish low
cost feedstock, to produce biodiesels, so that it can be
made commercially more viable.
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 151
Objectives
To produce biodiesel from low cost RWOPF (75%
Restaurant Waste Oil + 25% Pig Fat), to study and
compare its properties and to study the engine
performance.
Methodology
The raw RWOPF was filtered using cotton cloth.
Water was allowed to settle by way of heating
followed by 24 hours settling. Then pure RWOPF
was heated at 35oC and pure methanol was added
to hot oil. Mixed for 5 minutes followed by addition
of 95% H2SO4 and the mixture was stirred at low
RPM, at 35oC. Allowed to cool. Methoxide was
added and the mix was heated at 55oC, by
continuous stirring. Allowed to settle and glycerin
was drained-out. With this raw biodiesel was
formed, which was washed with water to remove
the colour and pure biodiesel was obtained.
Following a two-stage pretreatment, best
results were obtained with 40% methanol, 0.3%
NaOH, 55oC reaction temperature and 90
minutes reaction time.
20-40% blending of biodiesel (B20-B40) with
petro-diesel has showed cost and performance
advantages.
It showed that B20 can be directly used in
diesel engine, without any modifications.
The thermal efficiency and brake power
decreases with increase of biodiesel content in
the blend.

Introduction
Areca nut plays an important role in several social,
religious and cultural activities of people in India. It
is popularly known as betel nut or supari. India is
the largest producer of Areca nut and Karnataka
state contributes significantly in this line. Small and
marginal farmers play a very significant role in
Areca nut cultivation. Areca nut consists of husk
and kernel. Husk constitutes to about 60-80% of the
volume and weight of a fresh areca nut. Dehusking is
an important activity in areca cultivation. This husk can
be used as biomass or even as good manure after
proper composting. Dehusking of areca nut is manual
in most parts of the country, a very slow process and
labour intensive. There are dehusking machines
available in the field, whose performance is not very
high. Also, the shape of the areca nut becomes a
limiting factor in some machines. To overcome these
difficulties, there is a need for dehusking machine,
which can also be affordable by the farmers.
Objectives
To design and fabricate an economical model of areca
dehusking machine.
Materials
The partially automated areca dehusking machine
designed in the present study includes frame, cutter
assembly, conveyor system, fly wheel and hopper. The
frame is made of mild steel plates. The cutter
assembly contains the 6 dia tungsten carbide tip
cutters, ms plates of 13mm thick & 138mm dia; shaft;
spring washers etc. The conveyor system contains
sprockets, chain, angles welded to the chain and a
ratchet pinion mechanism to drive the conveyor
system. The flywheel is meant for providing the rotary
motion manually and the hopper to feed the raw areca
fruits into the machine. The fabricated machine was
tested and the performance was compared with that of
the existing areca nut peeling machines.
Conclusions
The new machine has simple cutters, easy to operate
and semi-automatic. Also the cost is economic and the
machine is compact in size. It can be operated by a
single person and has increased productivity over
previous machines. The disadvantages of the machine
include more noise, not fully automated and cant
dehusk different sizes of areca at the same time.

Introduction

The conventional Biogas plants that are currently
employed use low calorific inputs like cattle dung,
distillery effluent, municipal solid wastes or sewage,
which have a lesser methane generation and are less
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 152
inefficient. Lot of waste other than cow dung or
animal waste is not utilized in a proper way.
The answer to this is KITCHEN WASTE BASED
COMPACT BIOGAS PLANT, an effective
technology which uses kitchen waste (starchy or
sugary feedstock) for the production of biogas. This
compact biogas plant fabricated using PVC tanks
and locally available plumbing materials. 2Kg of
starchy feedstock can produce about 500g of
methane, and the reaction (anaerobic fermentation)
is completed within 24hrs.
The new system is far more efficient than the
conventional biogas system.
Objective
To produce biogas using kitchen waste which
is considered as high calorific feed which is
not fully utilized.
To replace 50% of LPG use in urban areas
and also to serve as a parallel system for cow
dung based biogas plant in rural areas.

Block diagram
Methodology
Materials used: HDPE tank 1000 lt & 750 lt
capacity, Reducer collar, PVC pipe, T-collar, Male
threaded adopter (MTA) collar, Female threaded
adopter (FTA) collars, threaded end cap, washers,
Ball control valve, Gas outlet port, gas pipe and
Biogas stove.
The compact plant is made by using two high-
density polythene (HDPE) water tanks. The smaller
tank has gas holder and larger tank for decomposing
feedstock mixture and water (slurry).
An inlet is provided for adding feedstock, and an
overflow for removing the digested residue. The
overflow mixture can be recycled into the plant. A pipe
takes the bio-gas for consumption. The gas holder
gradually rises as gas is produced, and sinks down
again as the gas is used. Weights are placed on the
top of the gas holder to increase the pressure of the
gas.
After leaving the slurry (kitchen waste + water) for
fermentation process upto 20 to 25 days in the air tight
plant (fermenter tank), we get approximately 500g of
Methane for every kg of vegetable waste input.
The compact biogas plant technology readily accepts
highly digestible organic materials such kitchen waste
as feedstock. A single plant produces sufficient biogas
to at least halve the use of LPG or kerosene for
cooking in a household, as well as a small amount of
solid residue which can be used as fertilizer. The
compact biogas plant could be replicated wherever
space is available and the temperature is sufficiently
high.
Communities in city residential and commercial set-
ups can avail this technology to convert starchy waste
into clean useful energy.
1. This plant can produce Biogas using kitchen waste
which is considered as high calorific feed, which is
not properly utilized.
2. The gas produced by this plant can replace 50% of
LPG used in urban areas and it also serves as a
parallel system for cow dung based biogas plant in
rural areas which is expensive and costly to
maintain.

Block Diagram

The windows are fitted with lasers along with LDRs
at the end of each laser beam. All LDRs are
connected in series and is given as input to the
timer. The output of timer is amplified using buffer
and then given as an input to a driver. The output of
driver is then used to generate an interrupt to
microcontroller. The interrupt generated results in
the rotation of a stepper motor. With help of
mechanical arrangement the rotation of the stepper
motor is used to press a key on a cell phone. Later
by using the speed dial technique in mobile a call is
made to the receiver end.
Receiver

Here the receiver part is located within a police station
nearby. The landline phone is connected in parallel to
the telephone line. On receiving call from the victims
house to the landline a DTMF decoder used converts
ring tone into BCD format. This signal is then amplified
by using a driver and given to hex inverter in order
invert the signal so as to make it compatible with the
computer. The inverter output is further amplified using
a hex non inverter and then given to a computer in
which a database of the all people residing in that
particular area is maintained. Thus with the help of
database maintained all the details of the victim house
are obtained immediately on the computer.
This system eliminates man power as automatically
monitors the burglar and informs to police station. The
design of the set up is simple, efficient and cost
effective.

Introduction
GPRS Video Streaming is an internet browser
application developed with the main intention to view
the live events taking place at a sight wherever the
webcam will be focusing, through a GPRS enabled
mobile. It gives the user high quality images with
general packet radio service (GPRS). The
communication with web will not be expensive.
Anyone can access this with just a mobile from remote
location. This package uses a user friendly graphical
user interface (GUI) so that the people can use it with
utmost ease. In this specific application, surgeon or
any person can view live video of a surgical operation
from remote place.
Objective
To provide real-time images (Videos) of surgical
operation to remotely located specialist on his
GPRS enabled cell phone through Video
Streaming, automatically when the operation
begins at OT.
To provide an interactive options to the remotely
located user may it be a (specialist or student) and
to accept or decline the incoming video images.
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 154
To provide an option for the user to take
snapshots while watching the video and also to
record the video for future viewing.
Methodology
The system consists of two modules. Server side
and client side.The two side are connected through
the internet.
Server Side Module:
When the power is switched ON it implies that an
operation has begun so the voltage sensor senses
this voltage change on the line and sends a signal
to the microcontroller. The microcontroller
immediately digitizes the received signal and sends
it to the server system through the parallel port
interface . When the server senses the signal at the
parallel port, a server running in the system sends
an alert message to the client in the form of SMS.
On receiving an acceptance from the Client, the
server system switches ON the web cam placed
over head the operating bed. The web cam
continuously captures the real time images of the
operation and sends it over the Internet and GPRS
to the Client.
Client Side:
Client side module is implemented in Core JAVA
and J2ME. This will allow user:
To view the live video from remote location.
To take the snapshots or record video through
web cam connecting to server through
connection established in J2ME application and
servlets.
Conclusion
The project is designed to come to the aid of rural
people who are deprived of the privileges of expert
surgeons and specialist.
This system finds an application in home security
where the owner gets the image of the visitor even
in the absence of the owner at his residence.
The future enhancement of this system can
transmit voice along with the video which could
prove beneficial to students to view and listen to the
seminars and talks that are being presented at any
place.

Introduction
Telephone Scrambler protects confidential telephone
calls against intrusion.
Scrambling is the most effective method for eliminating
unwanted evesdropping on your confidential calls. A
system consisting of two compatible telephone
scramblers will permit normal conversation between
caller and listener, while making the speech
unintelligible to any intruder. Only persons with a
compatible unscrambler will be able to understand
what is spoken.
Objective
To design a voice scrambler and unscrambler with the
aid of micro-controller and pseudo-noise sequence in
order to avoid eavesdropping.
Methodology

Block diagram
The voice signal which is coming from the ADC is
scrambled with the help of the PIC micro controller by
using pseudo-noise (PN) sequence. It is then
transmitted through the bus. At the other end the
receiver PIC will decode and the original message by
using the same pseudo-noise which was used in the
transmitter end. And then fed to the DAC where the
31
st
Series : SPP : KSCST : 2007-2008 155
message is converted into analog, The decoded
message is heard in the speaker.
In this system we not only get a confidential
message transmitted but also a improved
quality speech.
Incorporating this circuit into the main circuitry
of the main telephone system can do further
improvement. This will improve the quality of
service.
Secure Voice Telephone Scrambling system
provides the user with a high level of
communication security over both, CELLULAR
and LAND-LINE telephones.
The Secure Voice Telephone Scrambler can be
attached quickly and easily to most cellular or land
line telephone handsets.

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering

Topic : Issues and Challenges in Ubiquitous Computing


ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING
The emergence of ubiquitous wireless provides a rich and exciting opportunity for the
current research. Researchers in this field are still "dreaming" and "creating problems" as
much as they are solving problems and recording and theorizing about effects. The research
in ubiquitous computing requires transcending the traditional barriers between social and
technical as well as levels of analysis - individual, team, and organizational.
The main challenges in ubiquitous computing originate from integrating large-scale mobility
with the pervasive computing functionality. This will enable people to focus on their tasks
and on interacting with other people. This far-reaching vision is still far from our reach, and
will require fundamental advance (challenges) in semantic modeling, context-aware
software infrastructure, application modeling an tools, and user experience validation.
These challenges addresses the Task Dynamism, Device Heterogeneity and Resource
Constraints, and Computing in Social Environment characteristics of ubiquitous
computing.
This talk presents some of the issues and challenges in ubiquitous computing research. It
covers some of the design aspects of ubiquitous computing systems and also, discusses
some of the ongoing ubiquitous systems projects like smart home, travel guide system, car-
driving assistance system etc. The talk also highlights some of the design aspects of our in
home project: "Ubiquitous Phone".

Topic : Challenges in Helicopter Design and Helicopter Projects at HAL


CHALLENGES IN HELICOPTER DESIGN AND HELICOPTER PROJECTS AT HAL

Helicopters are the most versatile flying machines in existence today. This versatility gives
the pilot complete access to three-dimensional space in a way that no airplane can. The
amazing flexibility of helicopters means that they can fly almost anywhere. However, it also
means that flying the machines is complicated.

Helicopter Technology & its development is one of the most challenging field for an engineer
as it is a multi-disciplinary activity covering all most all the engineering branches.

The lecture through a PowerPoint presentation briefly covers the principle of helicopter, how
it flies, challenges in its design, research & development status in India and the helicopter
projects undertaken in HAL. Finally an Video on the development of Advanced Light
Helicopter will be presented.

Topic : CHANDRAYAAN-1 MISSION


CHANDRAYAAN-1 MISSION

Chandrayaan-1 is the Indias maiden venture to send an unmanned probe to the Earths
only natural satellite the Moon for photo and chemical mapping of moons surface. The
mission envisages ISRO to launch a satellite built in India from the Indian spaceport at
SriHarikota by Indias rocket PSLV-C11. The satellite launched into an Earth transfer orbit
will be manoeuvred to leave the Earths gravity and enter the Moons gravity and orbit
around the Moon at an altitude of 100Km above the Moons surface. The satellite will be
tracked from several ground stations located is Asia, Australia, Europe, Americas and
Africa. There are eleven experiments/instruments fitted on the satellite which will be
commissioned in orbit and operated in a systematic manner taking into account various
constraints of both onboard and ground systems.

The science data received from Chandrayaan-1 will be received on ground and data
products generated will be disseminated to scientists who have built the instruments.
Indian Space Science Data Centre located at Bangalore is entrusted with the responsibility
of data processing, archiving, retrieving and dissemination of science data to the principal
investigators first and then to any other scientist as per the data policy. The mission,
Chandrayaan-1, is planned to be operated for two years.

The lecture addresses all about the mission planning, analysis and operations of
Chandrayaan-1 mission. Several background technical issues which lead to Indias first
mission to the Moon will also be highlighted.
