Proposed Theory for I-Bicycle

— “I-Bicycle” refers to a bicycle with hub-less rear wheel. The main idea behind this project is to develop a hub-less or spoke-less wheel. This bicycle overcomes some drawbacks of the bicycle being used nowadays such as heavy design due to presence of spokes, power consumption issues, space issues. The advantages associated with this bicycle are light weight due to absence of hubs or spokes, additional space in the wheel due to absence of spokes, aesthetic look to the design and lowered center of gravity. The bicycle runs with a “rack and pinion system” connected to the rear-wheel. The paddle gear is connected to the pinion whereas the pinion is meshed with the internal teeth of the rear-wheel rim. This bicycle can be used to overcome the above mentioned issues and it's a great innovation in the design of the conventional bicycle which gives the operator a fresh feel while using it and it's awesome and very aesthetic when it comes to the appearance of the bicycle.

Using Low Level Features -Fingerprint Liveness Detection from Single Image

Fingerprint-based authentication systems have developed rapidly in the recent years. However, current fingerprint-based biometric systems are vulnerable to spoofing attacks. Moreover, the single feature-based static approach does not perform equally over different fingerprint sensors and spoofing materials. In this paper, propose a static software approach. Propose to combine low-level gradient features from speeded-up robust features, pyramid extension of the histograms of oriented gradient and texture features from Gabor wavelet using dynamic score level integration. Extract these features from a single fingerprint image to overcome the issues faced in dynamic software approaches, which require user cooperation and longer computational time.

Health Care Application System using IoT

In-home health care services based on the Internet-of-Things (IoT) have great business potential. In this paper, an intelligent home-based platform, the Health-IoT, is proposed and implemented. In particular, the platform involves an open-platform-based intelligent medicine box (Med-Box) with enhanced connectivity and interchangeability for the integration of devices and services. Flexible and wearable bio-medical sensor like heart rate and temperature, ECG sensor etc are incorporated in this. The proposed platform seamlessly fuses IoT devices with in-home healthcare. Services for an improved user experience and service efficiency. The feasibility of the implemented Health-IoT platform has been proven in field trials. Medicine box and the wearable sensors are connected to Server via an Android-based smartphone through Bluetooth, which has an interface for the patient to see his medicine conception and health status the remotely connected web page is operated from hospital which has provision for giving the prescription and view all patients consultation details and test details consulted doctors etc. The Medicine conception details and alert are given to mobile app via this website with is connected through the internet, If the patient forgot to take medicine or take a wrong one which can be alerted through the app. And here discussed how to implement in a real-world system. Analyze system capacity by testing devices and modules.

Design of Refill Band Spiral Winding Attachment on Lathe Machine

Now-a-days in this competitive era, it is most essential to complete jobs in smallest cycle time in order to achieve maximum profit at minimum wastage. Some leading, printing machine manufacturers outsource some parts from vendors.  Currently, one of the roller sub-assembly is being outsourced from outer vendors. During the visit, we observed that the existing process of manufacturing of such sub-assembly is very lengthy & of manual nature. As to find an alternative solution to the existing problem, we decided to semi-automate the process which will also result in better productivity and which will reduce wastage also. For achieving this, we designed and manufacture an attachment which can be used on a simple lathe machine. Using attachment made the whole process semi-automated, results of which are compared with the previous manual process. It is observed that using attachment reduces cycle time, reduces manpower, also decreases wastage than the manual process.

Association of Common PALB2 Polymorphisms with Ovarian Cancer: A Case-Control Study

Background: The partner and localizer of breast cancer 2 (PALB2) has an essential role in BRCA2 mediated DNA double-strand break repair by serving as a bridging molecule and acting as the physical and functional link between BRCA1& 2 proteins. Truncating mutations in the PALB2 gene are rare but are thought to be associated with increased risk of developing breast and /or ovarian cancer in different populations. The present study was designed to investigate the variants of PALB2 and their association with OC. Material & Methods: A total of 150 histopathologically confirmed ovarian cancer patients and 250 healthy age-matched controls were collected. Three SNPs c.2794 G/A( rs45624036), c.1010 T/C(rs45494092), and c.1676A/G(rs152451) of PALB2 gene were selected and genotyped by ARMS-PCR followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Appropriate statistical tests were applied to test for the significance of the results. Results: A significant association of G/A (rs45624036) in inheritance models was observed & at the allelic level, the A allele conferred four-fold increased risk compared to G allele. Regarding T/C (rs45494092) polymorphism all the models revealed an association with OC and C allele showing eight-fold increased risk. With respect to A/G(rs152451) polymorphism, the protective role was observed in tested inheritance models in OC patients. The Haplo analysis for the combination of all the three variants revealed increased risk with A-T-A and G-C- G haplotypes.(OR=4.50 ;95%CI 1.85-10.94;p=0.001,OR=26.36 ;95%CI 2.33 -297.91;p= 0.0085), whereas other haplotypes conferred a protective role in OC. Conclusions: The present study suggests an essential role of PALB2 in the etiology of ovarian cancer.

Marketing Strategies for Library Resources and Services to the Engineering College Students

This paper is to examine the marketing of Library resources and services to the engineering college students.  Engineering education is needed to market their resources and services proactively to the students who are not familiar with the electronic environment. Librarians are needed to consider these learners' characteristics, language proficiency, learning styles and their subjects of interests.  This paper also suggests users’ web workflow strengthen the library visibility. Librarians can be very effective in applying their skills to the marketing process in libraries.
