Use of UAVs for mining applications

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been gaining a lot of impetus in the recent times. Drones are constantly being made available for a myriad of day-to-day applications like food delivery, surveillance, farming, etc. One of the most overshadowed regions in the list of applications remains to mine. Mining is a dangerous activity and more often than not, there are certain unknown hazards to it that are too dangerous for humans to be experimenting with all by themselves. Hence it makes sense to use a UAV in the form of a First-Person View (FPV) drone. For the development of a UAV, there are thousands of different permutations that can be used. After a detailed analysis of various of them ranging from a simple tri-copter to an octocopter, a quadcopter design was unanimously selected as it provides elegant support in the form of control, structure, reliability, cost, size, etc. Most important of them being size and structure. Mines can be constricting places and a wide frame may become very difficult to control inside such enclosures. This project has been implemented on a much smaller scale than an actual prototype, primarily because of an ambitious development schedule coupled with a very limited budget. These constraints have forced a compromise on the quality of the components used but have not tampered with the real application objectives that the drone has to suffice. The drone at present is being controlled by a remote-control transmitter, receiver couple but we are working on creating our own GUI which will provide a direct control over all the systems from a remote laptop or android device.

Comparison between DES and AES hybridization with genetic technique for guarded image transmission

In this world of digital communication, data is the heart of the worldwide economy. The Paper is for the hybrid approach in which in which there is an implementation of cryptography for securing the images. The hybrid techniques are basically the merger of cryptography with stenography combined with the genetic algorithm. The working of both techniques is same but differs from each other. It is able to join the techniques to encrypt the text by deploying cryptography and then concealing the encrypted text by deploying Steganography. The idea behind in this analysis is to communicate in a protected way and to bypass the layout impression for the communication of concealed data which can manage high security and enclose the capacity to manipulate the image & imperceptibility.

Implementation of LFC for multi-area power systems using the conventional PI controller

In an interconnected power system, small disturbance occurs in load at each area that causes fluctuate the frequency from its nominal value and also tie-line power flow between different areas are fluctuate. Therefore the main role of load frequency control is to maintain the frequency at nominal value and to keep the net interchange power between pool members at the predetermined values. This can be done by conventional controllers. In this paper, the conventional PI controller is used as a controller in the multi-area interconnected power system. Comparisons between with PI controller and without the PI controller is presented using Matlab/Simulink.

Electro-discharge machining of die tool steel for the recommendation of the suitable electrode by response surface methodology

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the important non-traditional machining processes and it is widely accepted as a standard machining process in the manufacture of forming tools to produce moulds and dies. Since its introduction to manufacturing industry in late 1940s,EDM became a well-known machining method. The method is based on removing material from a work piece by means of a series of repeated electrical discharges, produced by electric pulse generators at short intervals, between an electrode (tool) and a part being machined in dielectric fluid medium. in the present study, the performance parameters of EDM process are to be evaluated to achieve the feasibility in machining of H13 tool steel it has wide application in the Hot punches and dies for blanking, forging, swaging and bending, Nozzles for aluminium, tin and lead die casting, Hot extrusion dies for aluminium, cores ejector pins, inserts, Hot shear blades. here the machining is done by EDM using three different electrode like copper, brass and bronze and investigate which type of electrode give better result for increasing MRR, and decrease SR. The experiments planned, conducted and analyzed using Response surface methodology and it is found that the MRR and SR is mainly influenced by which EDM machining parameter.

Control of position and swing angle of overhead crane using different controllers

A crane is a machine equipped with a hoist which is mainly used both to lift and lower materials and move them horizontally to different places. However, the underactuated structure of the crane makes difficult to control. In the practical situations, however, the achievement of both transporting trolley to target position and reducing payload sway is not always easy. The main objective is to evaluate different types of controllers for controlling the trolley position and swing motion by conducting a study on the position and swing angle characteristics of different controllers. The various controllers used for the analysis are conventional PID and PD controller, fuzzy-tuned PID and PD controller, LQR, and LQG. The analysis shows that the LQG controller has the best performance even in the presence of a disturbance.

A literature survey on digitizing the college administration ecosystem by developing single access point android mobile application

In the era of digitalization, we have witnessed a swift change from manual process of keeping and maintaining the records to doing the same using various technologies available, in a very easy and efficient manner, be it in the education or non-education sector. There have been individual systems available to manage and monitor various sub-systems in the academic sector (schools, colleges, universities) but today when we are moving towards creating a one-stop shop application accessible by every stakeholder of the respective system we couldn’t find any such application available; which in turn lead to the evolvement of a non-transparent, less effective and ambiguous academic administration system. Presently, the most common authentication scheme witnessed to confirm the identity of a person and uniquely defining ‘’who the person is?’’ is by using the biometric fingerprint scanning system. With the proposed system the student identity can be uniquely defined and also can be used in various administration processes thereby, enabling the college campus an e-campus with the purpose of making the student interaction with various services in the college, efficient, time-saving and transparent. This study explored the usage and applications of biometric fingerprint scanning system in integrating the services of the college ecosystem, to be availed by all the stakeholders at any point in time with a survey carried out in Delhi/NCR region of India.
