Smartphone and Wheelchair Control for Bedridden and Semi-Paralyzed People using Brain-Control Interface (BCI)

The community of semi-paralyzed and bedridden people account for almost 35 million of the world’s population. People with spinal cord injuries or nerve problems cannot live normal lives despite their minds remaining unaffected. They require constant attention and cannot be independent. They need assistance to even move around on a wheelchair or make use of ordinary devices like smartphones, which are an integral part of the modern world. The restrictions in the independent use of wheelchairs and smartphones do not allow the physically disabled people to contribute to the society effectively. Current technological solutions to help paralyzed and elderly people having physical disabilities require the use of custom made devices, which use sensors to detect muscle movement to interpret actions and thus control their wheelchair and any computing device they use. They are however very expensive and cannot cater to a general population of physically disabled people. Our solution is the use of a Brain-Computer Interface, which is a novel technology that enables people to control devices using their brainwaves. An electroencephalography (EEG) headgear is used to capture the brainwaves and transmit it to a smartphone and Arduino board to be interpreted and thus control them. This project hopes to enable wheelchair movement using BCI-Arduino communication. A specialized smartphone interface will provide a cursor in the phone, which can be controlled using the BCI headgear. The smartphone interface and the Arduino-wheelchair will be compatible with a wide range of BCI headgear. The use of BCI technology in this project will provide an economical and generalized solution that will cater to the entire paralyzed and elderly community while opposed to the current solution, which is expensive and custom made for each individual.

Fake News Detection

Fake news, one of the biggest new-age problems has the potential to mould opinions and influence decisions.The proliferation of fake news on social media and Internet is deceiving people to an extent which needs to be stopped.The existing systems are inefficient in giving a precise statistical rating for any given news claim. Also, the restrictions on input and category of news make it less varied. This paper proposes a system that classifies unreliable news into different categories after computing an F-score. This system aims to use various NLP and classification techniques to help achieve maximum accuracy.

Comparison of Consumer Response to Online and Offline Marketing

With the advent of significant changes in technology, this article has analyzed the online and offline marketing strategies. The purpose of this study is to identify different marketing strategies in both online and offline platforms and their effects on customer satisfaction and customer commitment to the company’s product. We have attempted to throw light on the effects of integrated marketing communication on both online and offline purchases. We have attempted to provide clearer pros and cons of both online and offline marketing and sales which can bring about significant variations in the amount of profits earned by the company. The convenience factor for the customer in making online or offline purchases partially has a role to play in the effectiveness of the marketing strategies. This shows a connecting chain between consumer convenience, effectiveness of the marketing strategy, consumer satisfaction, consumer commitment and brand loyalty. It also includes concepts like comparisons between online and offline demand and price variants which forms the base of marketing products of these companies.

Distributed Networked Localization and Time Synchronization using Seawater Movement Pattern in Underwater Sensor Networks

Time synchronization and localization issues in underwater sensor networks, where more challenges are introduced due to the unique properties of the water environment. These challenges include long duration and transmission delay, low bandwidth, energy restriction, mobility, etc., we recommend the time synchronization and localization based on the semi-periodic nature of seawater movement, SLSMP called. First, we analyze error factors in time synchronization and localization, and then propose a method to deal with this error. For a more precise synchronization, SLSMP controls the time of transmission by the pattern of movement and seawater node providing exploits. Then SLSMP gradually decreases averaged localization error by the Kalman filter application or filter. Finally, INS (Inertial Navigation System) was adopted by the node mobility and error propagation problem caused localization error relieve. The simulation results show that SLSMP time synchronization error of 2.5 ms and 0.56 ms compared to TSHL and MU-Sync or reduced. Also, localization error of 44.73% reduced compared to the single multilateration system.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Spray Painting

The hexacopter assisted painting spray pump is equipment which is used for painting the high altitude buildings utilizes the same principle as that of the hexa copter for lifting purpose. In which rotary motion high speed brushless DC motor, whose shaft is connected to propeller can be converted to the upward thrust which lift the equipment, spraying pump is working on the principle of rotary pump which is used for spaying colorful paints. Six high speed, six torque DC motors utilizes battery power for there working. Propeller blades are connected to DC motor shaft. Due to the rotation of blades the thrust is produced because of air suppression from upward to downward direction and because of this, pressure on the top of the propeller reduces and pressure underneath the propeller increases, hence equipment gets lifted .for spraying the colors we used submersible liquid spraying pump. The controlling of the hexa copter is the part of electronics. The radio frequencies are used for transmission of control signals from remote to the hexa copter.The hexa copter will paint the tall buildings just like how the remote will be operated. The main application of the hexa copter is to fly and paint the building where human approach is difficult.

Study of Linear and Non-Linear Buckling Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Wall

RCC walls are used worldwide to resist loads due to gravity and earthquake. Many of the tall buildings had buckled during recent earthquakes due to poor design and construction practices. When the RCC structure is subjected to axial compressive loading it fails due to buckling. The objective of study is to predict the linear and non-linear buckling behaviour of RCC walls using the finite element model. This paper investigates the effect of various parameters that influence the behaviour of the wall. These parameters include; slenderness ratio, percentage of reinforcement. Different percentages of reinforcement with constant slenderness ratio for a wall is analysed through ANSYS 15.0.
