Power factor correction converter using ZVS switching

This paper proposes a soft-switched single-phase high-power factor ac/dc converter. This circuit is a combination of the buck converter and the boost converter. In this proposes topology boost converter work as a power factor correction (PFC). Which improve power factor and reduces total harmonic distortion (THD). buck converter further regulates stable DC output voltage Without using any active clamp circuit and the snubber circuit. Active switches of this converter can achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) switching with high power factor that satisfies the IEC 61000-3-2 standards. A design example for a 60W converter supplied is simulated and designed.

Development of filter fabrics for medical applications

Spun-bonded polymeric and organic materials are used as base material to improve anti-fungal properties in gauze bandage in medical textiles. Development of antibiotic natural source for utilization is the main focus in designing medical textiles. The above can be achieved and enhanced by introducing suitable design concepts, materials, and manufacturing process. Comparative study on natural textiles with existing will provide a way for the development of new products. Novel filter material will be developed with due consideration on health care and medical applications with suitable finish including antimicrobial agents.

Low cost cloud-based intelligent indoor climate control system

The main objective of this project is to develop a method using the Internet of Things to control and manage the Household Air Conditioning System. The system will include control of all the functions of an air conditioning system which we use in a normal household. The system will introduce an Intelligent System Agent which will control the temperature and other settings of the air conditioner using various parameters obtained from the environment and the internet. This system will use the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Platform to control and process the data.

The effect of maternal lifestyle factors on pregnancy complications and perinatal outcome

A meta-analysis was done to assess the effect of maternal lifestyle factors on pregnancy complication and perinatal outcome based on 14 primary studies. The statistical data was collected and condensed depending on the factors identified from the meta-synthesis. The data was analyzed using the forest plot method. The findings of the study revealed that maternal lifestyle factor like pre-pregnancy BMI ˃25kg/m2 had a statistical and clinical significance with the RR˃1. The other factors identified by meta-synthesis were poor dietary factors and lack of physical activity. The adverse outcome of pregnancy complications like GDM, PIH, anemia was prolonged labor, premature delivery, maternal mortality, IUD, IUGR, low birth weight, low Apgar score˂5 with RR˃1 and narrow confidence limit. Other maternal and fetal outcomes identified from meta-synthesis are SGA, LGA, birth asphyxia, stillbirth, congenital anomalies, and increased rate of admission to ICU. Thus the study concluded that there was a significant association between maternal lifestyle factors on complications like GDM, PIH, and anemia and had a significant relation in causing the adverse perinatal outcome.

Harmonics mitigation using shunt active power filter by sinusoidal current control technique

With the widespread use of power electronics devices such as rectifier, inverter etc. in power system causes serious problem relating to power quality. The main issue considered in this analysis is harmonic, and this is because of the nonlinear load. To mitigate the effects of nonlinear loads shunt active power filter is placed with the line. The control technique of SAPF is sinusoidal current control technique. Hysteresis current control scheme used for IGBT switching and generation of PWM. The simulation of control technique of SAPF is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK software. In this paper compare to balanced and unbalanced voltages. Obtained THD of this control technique by simulation analysis. The results indicate the SAPF can improve the power quality.

A visualization engine – Generating reusable and shareable visual components and dashboards

The aesthetically designed high-impact dashboard is a challenge for any project. Development of dashboard needs focused and thoughtful visualization interface. However, the effectiveness of the dashboard depends upon the selection of the data in the specific context. Therefore it is important to give more focus on the core concerns like data extraction, transformation, loading, and analytics. The visualization Engine presented in this paper automates the process of visualization. It eliminates the need for any program to generate visualizations. Hence drastically minimize the code needed to be written to use or share the visualizations in a very secured, optimized and managed way. The paper outlines the process to assemble many visual components into a dashboard and use or share the same dashboard as a whole in any portal.
