Smart dust-bin monitoring system
No full textAs the second most populous country in the world India face a major problem in waste management. As of now there are traditional waste management systems like periodic and routine clearing by the various civic bodies like the municipal corporation. But even though these routine maintenances is carried out we often come across overflowing garbage bins from which the garbage spills on to the streets. This happens because as of now there is no system in place that can monitor the garbage bins and indicate the same to the corporation. In this project, we aim at an automatic garbage level detecting system informing the concerned authorities timely and also classification among the wastes aiding efficient waste management
Analysis of Dividend Policy (A Comparative Study of Selected Public and Private Sector Companies)
No full textThe term dividend refers to the portion of the profits (after tax) which is distributed among the owners or share holders of the firm and the profit which is not distributed is known as retained earnings. A company may have preference share capital as well as equity share capital and dividend may bepaid on both types of capital. However, there is as such, no decision involved as far as the dividend payable to preference share holders is concerned.A firm’s dividend policy incorporates all aspects of payout, such as the rate of dividend, stability, timing of payments, methods of payment, etc. Formulating a dividend policy that covers each of these important areas requires careful consideration not only of the needs of the firm but also of the requirements of the shareholders. The dividend policy may also be determined by factors that are entirely economic
Statistical Process Control a Rejection Control Tool “A Case Study”
No full textAs competitive pressure has been steadily rising, manufacturing organizations need to improve quality while decreasing costs and increasing production volumes with fewer resources. Statistical process control (SPC) is now fashionable buzzword in manufacturing industry. SPC is an optimization philosophy concerned with continuous process improvements, using a collection of (statistical) tools for data and process analysis making inferences about process behavior. The methodology used consists of component selection, specification review, data collection and analysis using cause and effect diagram, control charts and process capability study. This paper presents an approach for successful implementation of SPC using different tools and techniques
Improving Efficiency of a Solar Water Heater Using PCM
Get PDFOne of the best devices which can be used to convert the solar energy into thermal energy is solar water heater (SWH). SWH applications mainly depend on efficient thermal energy storage system (TES). Thermal storage works like a thermal battery where, energy can be stored in the form of latent heat, sensible heat, or both. In this project, TES system with Phase Change Material (PCM) can be more concentration for SWH application, as they have high energy density compared with other materials which are used to store only sensible heat . Besides, it also improves the reliability and performance of the SWH system0. Phase Change Materials (PCM) seem to be one of the most best techniques that might lead to this high energy storage performance. A PCM is a material which stores or supplies heat at its melting/solidification temperature using its high thermal energy storage density per unit volume as a cause of its latent heat, which is higher than the sensible heat. It is possible to use the latent heat of solid-gas, solid-liquid and liquid-gas transformation, however, only the solid-liquid transformation is used due to its lower volume variation
A Novel Approach to balance the load between nodes of distributed computing
No full textThe cost/performance magnitude relation of networks of workstations has been perpetually rising. This trend is anticipated to continue within the close to future. the mixture peak rate of such systems typically matches or exceeds the height rate offered by the quickest parallel computers. Thus, distributed computing systems are a viable and fewer pricey various to parallel computers. However, a significant problem in coincidental programming of a distributed system is a way to alter programming and cargo equalization of such a system which can include heterogeneous computers. A distributed system may be viewed as a group of computing and communication resources shared by active users. Once the demand for computing owner will increase the load equalization drawback becomes necessary.We will state the load equalization drawback as follows. Given the initial job arrival rates at every pc within the system notice Associate in nursing allocation of jobs among the computers in order that the time interval of the complete system over all jobs is reduced. Often, jobs in an exceedingly distributed system may be divided into totally different categories supported their resource usage characteristics and possession. As an example the roles that belong to one user will type a category. Or else, we will distinguishdifferent categories of jobs by their execution times. Reckoning on what percentage job categories square measure thought-about we will have single category or multi-class job distributed systems. During this paper we have a tendency to take into account the load equalization drawback in single category job distributed systems
An approach to Design Object Oriented Data Warehouse
No full textData warehouses are repository of data from wide range of sources that provide analytical results for making significant business decisions. As data warehouse has to support different complex queries therefore the design technique should be different from the traditional ones. The best suited technique is object oriented data warehouse design technique which is collection of objects that interact with each other. That further enhances the decision making capability of Data Warehouse. In our paper we illustrate a technique for designing of a relational schema from an object model, represent in their UML form and then transformed it into data warehouse. We also draw the trace diagram that actually
A Study of Load Carrying Capacity of cracked Weld Joint using Finite Element Analysis
No full textStatic Stress and dynamic modal analysis gives the idea for strength of the joints. Any failure in the analysis is catastrophic to the functioning of the structure/machine. This can be eliminated by proper stress and dynamic analysis. Cracks will happen in the welds after certain cycles of working. The present study is to find the effect of crack on load carrying capacity of the joint and its stress behaviour in the junction. The results shows parabolic reduction of strength with the propagation of crack which indicates failure propagation is more with increased cracking. Also stress behaviour across the cross section also changes with the crack propagation and results shows maximum concentration at the bottom region which is totally different from the full contact problem
Object removal and region filling in image
Get PDFSometimes people have been taken photographs, there has been the need to remove unwanted artefacts or damaged areas from these images. This is something previously conducted by experts, using computer tools and extensive user input to produce a visually realistic result. The difficulty of the problem lies in how to fill the missing regions, such that they are perceptually unnoticeable, whilst minimizing user input. Object removal and region filling algorithm proposed for removing unwanted objects from digital images. The challenge is to fill the hole that is left behind in visually plausible way. This problem has been addressed by two classes of algorithms: i) “Texture synthe-sis” for generating large image regions from sample textures, and ii) “In-painting” techniques for filling in small gaps. Each being used for images with different characteristics. This dissertation is concerned with investigating whether advances in texture synthesis techniques contain the necessary functionality to cross the divide between the two and successfully fill holes in a variety of images. The advantage of the proposed techniques is that it limits the amount of knowledge required by the user, and performs the region filling autonomously, once started
Identification of Railway Track Using RFID Application
No full textIndian railway is 4th rank railway chain in the world. Due to this there are so many problems like collision, accidents, delay etc. are related to trains. To avoid these problems we used RFID application for identification of railway track and automatic track changer. In this setup ,we used RFID tags which are allocated at railway track and RFID reader attached in railway engine. Because of this, train follows its path perfectly with help of RFID reader which reads tags continuously on railway track. If route is appropriate then train perform continuously, in case route is wrong then train stop automatically and ‘WRONG PATH” information shows on LCD display located in train engine. The next advantage of our model is automatic track changer. When train reach at some distance before track changer that time track change automatically according to perfect route due to wireless communication. Our model is useful for perfect track identification and perfect track change
