Consumer Perception and Usage Experience of Toilet Soaps with Special Reference to ‘Indulekha’ Brand: A Study in Tirurangadi Municipality of Malappuram District of Kerala

Toilet soap industry has been facing severe cut-throat competition among the Multi-National Companies, national and local and international as well as global players. The level of penetration in toilet soaps spread in urban and semi-urban areas are very high. Consumer satisfaction happens when the perceived performance and the expectations match equally. If the perceived performance crosses the expectations results in customer delighting and better satisfaction. Customer satisfaction results in quality related issues. Many studies in this area show that the costs and efforts of acquiring a new customer are more than retaining the existing ones.

Feed Forward Neural Network Based Light Intensity Control of Networked LED Light Systems

The use of a neural network technique to establish the relationship among dimming levels of luminaires and illuminance at the user tables. The neural network then will be included in sensor feed forward illumination control for the smart networked LED-lighting system9. The accuracy of the model depending on the configuration of the neural network and characteristics of the LED-lighting system will be examined. The daylight effect is beyond the scope of this research and will be investigated in future work.

Vit B12 Deficiency Induced Hyper Homocysteinemia Causing Stroke in Young Adult

Stroke in young adults is less common than stroke elderly people. Stroke in young adults needs an extensive work up both for common as well as uncommon causes. Stroke due to vitamin B12 deficiency causing hyper homocysteinemia is a rare cause. It is important to identify vitamin b12 deficiency  as the cause since it is treatable and preventable cause of stroke. Hence, early recognition and treatment of vitamin b12 deficiency can improve the treatment results at a low cost and prevent wasting of health care dollars on expensive to treat diagnosis.

Design and Development of Board Cleaning System

This technique was selected by us by taking into consideration some comfort for Teachers while cleaning the blackboard. It is seen that while doing this they often have to cover their mouth with one hand while cleaning the blackboard by the other. By thinking over it we realized that we can really do something for them. So we decided to implement our course study and some extra knowledge and with the help of electrical and mechanical concept, our project came into the picture. The project Design and Development of Board Cleaning System can clean the blackboard and whiteboard automatically with rack and pinion mechanism and reduces the time consumed in hand erasing. This project basically works on combined principles of mechanical and electronics. The growth of technologies requested higher performance machine in order to fulfill human needs and market. This project is implemented to make human work easier and can reduce the use of human power because of its potential applications. This appertains to new and useful improvements and more particularly to an apparatus whereby blackboards and whiteboard can be cleaned in an easy and convenient manner.

Design of Automatic Sorting Machine

The automatic sorting system has been reported to be complex and a global problem. This is because of the inability of sorting machines to incorporate flexibility into their design concept. Automation is a preferred for faster and precise operations as compared to manual operation. This paper provides a mean of simple yet effective fixed type of automation for sorting the products. Two products identical in shape and size are sorted out automatically on the basis of drilled or undrilled product. LED and phototransistor arrangement is used for hole detection. A vertical zigzag conveyor is employed instead of the usual flat belt conveyor in order to utilize gravitational force as a driving force for feeding the products. 8051 Microcontroller is used for controlling the sorting mechanism by using program or coding. The cost of the project is nearly negligible as it is made from the waste except electrical components used for the project. Sincere efforts are taken to set an example of an inexpensive, reliable and easy to manufacture automated machine. The Paper focuses on the aspect of sorting mechanism with microcontroller programming and the automation tasks and solutions are obtained. The proposed developed model of this research could be adopted at any institution or industries, whose practices are based on mechatronics engineering systems. This is to guide the industrial sector in the sorting of object and teaching aid to institutions and hence produce the list of classified materials according to the enabled sorting program commands.

Awareness of e-wallet Among Small Scale Vendors: A Study in Selected Region in Nuh (Mewat)

India is a unique country in which there is “Unity in Diversity” not only language, dialect, music, food, clothes are changed after every 20km but there is a great disparity in development also. Nuh(Mewat) is an area in Haryana State where there is only 71.96% (census 2011) literacy rate as compared to 75.55% of  Haryana and it demands more development from the government of India. The Government objectives for demonetization are to curb black money and to promote cashless society. The main purpose of this research paper is to study the awareness of e-wallet among the people of Nuh after demonetization.
