The goal of this research work is to percept the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine using oxygenated fuels. In view of this, experimental investigations were carried out on a single cylinder four stroke direct injection vertical water cooled diesel engine using Ethanol and Diethyl Ether blended fuels in different volume ratios with Diesel fuel. The experimental investigation was performed with three different blends of Ethanol(E), Diethyl ether(DEE) and Diesel(D) in various ratios (E10% + DEE5% + D85%), (E10% + DEE7.5% + D82.5%) and (E10% + DEE10% + D80%) in comparison with pure diesel (D100%) to assess the impact of using Ethanol and Diethyl Ether-Diesel blends on diesel engine performance. For the same rated speed and compression ratio, various engine parameters such as power, thermal efficiency and fuel consumption, exhaust emissions such as smoke opacity, Hydrocarbon, CO, and NOx, were measured. The results indicate that the fuel blends have higher brake thermal efficiencies at all loading conditions and also the efficiencies increase with the increase of diethyl ether concentration. At full load, E10% + DEE10% + D80% has lower Brake Specific Fuel consumption than diesel. NOx emission and smoke emission also reduced to great extent in fuel blends compared to diesel.

Now a day there is so many fibres are available in the civil engineering sector. Generally their behaviour is considered satisfactory if they withstand two million cycle of repetitive loading without distress or failure at the required mean stress level. The addition of fibre in the concrete mix improves the monotonic flexural strength, flexural fatigue strength, impact strength, shock resistance, ductility, and flexural toughness in concrete, besides delaying and arresting crack proportion. Fatigue is described by a parameter, which essentially represents the number of cycles the material can withstand under a given pattern of repetitive loading, before falling. This paper presents to study the behaviour of reinforced concrete beam cast at variations of quantity of steel fibre in the concrete matrix and subjected to fatigue loading.

The proposed system analyzes the techniques to overcome the disadvantages for the existing methods.

Robotic devices tend to reduce the manual labor being put by humans in their daily tasks. In this paper, we develop a voice-controlled bot system.. The voice commands are given to the robot through the microphone, by using an SRC-speech recognition circuit and microcontroller. The robot can perform various movements on the given command like turn left or right, start or stop operations, move forward or backward. The voice commands are processed would result in the real-time performance of the bot. The speech signal would be converted to text form and the communication would take place digitally. The voice command would be converted into a digital audio signal which would be communicated to the robot over a Bluetooth network. The voice-controlled robot is made on a microcontroller 8051 circuitry based platform. It would also have an ultrasonic sensor which would be very useful for obstacle detection if any. The effectiveness of the voice communicated over a distance is measured through several experiments and using various concepts. Various other improvements are also discussed towards prospective applications in households, medical sector and industries factories where parallel tasking is to be performed.

Evaluation of erosive behaviour of material becomes important since, engineering materials used in aerospace applications are subjected to such kinds of load. In this research work, the erosive nature of light weight polymer composite that reinforced with carbon fiber is evaluated. The significant effect of process parameters on affecting the performance characteristics of the composite such as erosion rate is determined. The experimental results show that the parameters namely jet velocity, impact angle plays a major role on influencing the erosion rate of Carbon Fibre Reinforced plastics (CFRP).

A logic design whose outputs at a specified time are a function only of the inputs at that time. In practice, any combinational circuit will have a finite transit time, or delay, between the inputs changing; the motive of the term combinational is to include algebraic elements i.e, AND gates, OR gates, etc. and preclude memory elements i.e flipflops, etc. Carry-look ahead adder is a method that is used in multibit parallel adders whereby the carry into an individual elements of the adder can be predicted with a smaller delay than that required for the carry to be produced by transferring through previous adder stages as a result of adding the less significant addend and augend bits.

Spot welding or specifically resistance spot welding is one of the most popular welding in sheet metal sector in automobile industry. It is one of the oldest of the electric welding processes in use by industry today. Furthermore, other metal-to-metal connections, such as wire-to-wire joints in the electronics industry, are accomplished by resistance spot welding. The main advantage of this welding is that the material joined by spot welding has smooth appearance and strength as compared with other welding process. The problem associated with spot welding is weakening of weld spot that is the strength of the weld get reduced due to some input parameters. The aim of this research is to determine the most significant parameter that affect the strength of the welded joint or spot. In this research work, Stainless steel is used as working material. In this research work, total 9 samples are prepared and their strength is measured on universal Tensile Machine. The significant parameter is found out by using response surface methodology and the optimized parameters are validated by taking confirmatory test. All the spotting work is conducted on KIRTI spotting machine (SPM) with a copper electrode.

This study examines the performance of Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) technique in the electronic assessment of free text document. NMF is a low rank approximation technique. It has application in automated grading of free-text document by reducing the initial matrix generated from the set document into a low rank without compromising the semantic content. Our approach collects student and lecturers ‘response in a particular test, converts them to document-term matrix and reduce them using NMF to a low rank approximation matrix. The technique was evaluated using Pearson correlation coefficient and mean divergence error. The results show that a correlation of 0.921728 was observed between the manual scores and the NMF graded scores while 0.88729 was observed between the manual scores and LSA which indicates that NMF is a better assessor when compared to LSA. NMF generates a closer result to the human grade when compared to the LSA. It also proves the ability of NMF as a suitable technique for representing a document in a semantic space without compromising the semantic content of the document.

I. INTRODUCTION System is a way of working, organizing or doing one or more tasks according to the fixed plan, program or set of rules. A system is also an arrangement in which all its units assemble and work together according to the plan or program. An embedded system is combined working of hardware and software or additional mechanical or technical component to perform desired function. Any sort of device which includes programmable computer but itself is not intended to be general purpose computer is said to be embedded system. The lower layer of an embedded system is printed circuit board that includes busses and semiconductor devices. The upper layer is mainly application layer in between these two layers there are another two essential layers called device drivers and communication protocols. These features enable embedded systems to be relatively static and simple in functionality. However, there is a requirement for low cost, small physical footprint and negligible electrical or electronic radiation and energy consumption. Simultaneously they need to be physically rugged and impervious to external electrical and electronic interference.
