Implementation of automatic solar tracking and cleaning system

With the growing requirement of electricity and concern for the environmental impact of fossil fuels, implementation of eco-friendly energy sources like solar power is rising. The solar PV modules are generally employed in dust environments which is the case in tropical countries like India. The dust gets accumulated on the front surface of the module and blocks incident light from the sun. The power output reduces as much as by 30% if the module is not cleaned for a month. Accumulation of dust on even one panel in an array reduces their efficiency in energy generation considerably and need to keep the panel surface as clean as possible. In this paper, we designed a system which not only tracks sun but also clean module automatically. This mechanism required an LDR for tracking the sun. While cleaning the solar panels, a mechanism consists of sliding brushes has been developed. In terms of daily energy generation, the present tracking -cum cleaning scheme provides about 30% more energy output as compared to the stationary PV module. This paper gives an idea about the combination of tracking and cleaning system.

Manual applicator road marking machine: A review

This paper summarizes the ongoing researches about the road marking and devices used in road marking. Road marking machines are widely used for marking purpose essential for road safety and traffic control. Various types of road marking devices as fully automatic road marking machine, semi-automatic road marking machine, manual road marking machine, etc. are available in the market. Automation in road marking has evolved and developed with time but mostly in India, manual applicator road marking machine has a great impact in road marking operations due to its size, ease and lower cost. Various types of materials such as thermoplastic, traffic paints, epoxy, etc. are used as marking materials by calculating desirable properties. Horizontal, vertical and straight line marking is possible by manual applicator road marking machine.

Contamination of refrigerator is a threat for infections

Food that we eat may be perishable, semi-perishable and non-perishable. People generally use the refrigerator to store the perishable and semi-perishable food items. But during long time preservations without recalling may lead to the development of microbial contamination. Raw vegetables and fruits also play a major role in the spread of bacteria, fungi, and parasites. This may further lead to foodborne illness which is a threat to human infections. Cross contamination is also possible between the contaminated foods and fresh foods. Proper cleaning and maintenance reduce the bacteria as well as fungal load. Therefore, the monitoring of microbiota in the refrigerator is important for food safety.

Enhancement of throughput of DEEC routing protocol in WSN

A WSN is composed of a large number of sensor nodes which consist of sensing, data processing, and communication capabilities. Fault-free and trustworthy data transfer amongst source and destination is the challenges in WSN. The energy efficiency in WSN is a key essential element for improved communication. It is believed that 70% of the energy is used up in data transmission only. The lifespan of the WSN diminishes due to additional energy consumption. Routing protocols as long as providing an optimum data transmission route as of sensor nodes to sink node to save energy of nodes in the system network. Data collection shows a significant part in energy preservation of sensor network. In wireless sensor network energy is mostly used up for three purposes – signal processing, data transmission, and hardware operation. To make the most of the network lifespan data transmission is augmented by applying energy-efficient and reliable routing protocols. The protocols have more traffic overhead and more energy consumption. This thesis proposed enhanced energy efficiency in DEEC routing protocol. The experiment results represented that it also reduced the traffic of the WSN and increases the overall system performance.

Fault diagnosis tool for circuit breaker wiring harness

A new concept of fault diagnosis is based on measuring the contact resistances of the individual contacts of the internal circuits of the high voltage circuit breaker by using the IOT based circuit. In this equipment, we measure the resistance of the NO and the NC contact by using the voltage and current sensor, Arduino kit. In this ardinuo kit we are programmed such that the sensor senses the value of the voltage and current it goes to the Arduino kit and pre-insert value of the resistance formula in a programmed and according to the value resistance we will get the condition healthy or unhealthy and also we get the resistance values of the contact for the preventive maintenance.

Structuring senses- The impact of design on human mind

Senses, the only information input media, play a mediating role between the built spaces and their experiences by the users. These spaces act as a stimulus on the senses of its users, the response to which is initially generated by the ‘non-conscious’ mind of the user; eventually leading to a like or dislike towards space. Architecture is all about experience created in a space, the look, feel and aesthetics; the success of which is measured by the time a user spends appreciating the space. Structuring senses, as the name puts forward, is a study that focuses upon the relationship between a space structure and its impact on the sensory media of the users, aiming to establish a balance and reduce the gap between the design intent and the design product. This declaration shall point towards an exchange of dialogue between a person and space.
