The use of welding in today’s manufacturing technology is extensive. Welding is the process of joining similar or dissimilar material combinations. Ultrasonic welding (USW) is a solid state welding process used for rapidly joining a wide range of similar and dissimilar combination of metals and plastics in very short cycle time and without melting the materials being joined. This paper deals with the Ultrasonic welding of thin Aluminium foils. The main objective of this paper is to arrive at an optimum parameter window of ultrasonic welding variables for the above said material. The ultrasonic parameters considered are power, pressure, and weld time, which exhibit significant influence on ultrasonic welds. The effect of the selected ultrasonic welding parameters was studied by conducting adequate trials on the Aluminium foils of 0.05mm thickness. After conducting preliminary trials, twenty six trials were carried out. Samples were subjected to tensile load testing using Honsfield Tensometer to study the joint efficiency. The quantitative values from tensile load testing were analyzed. The independent as well as the combined effect of ultrasonic welding parameters on tensile load were arrived at using regression equations. The investigation resulted in identifying the optimum ultrasonic welding parameters for obtaining an acceptable ultrasonic joint, for 0.05mm thick Aluminium foils.

All sheet metal forming processes occur after permanent plastic deformation resulting in the material properties variation and therefore it is necessary to determine the extent to which a material can further be deformed for subsequent forming. Normally tentative trial and error procedure was employed to determine these changes and adjust process settings (dies design parameter, loadings, tool course) accordingly. This approach is time consuming and depends heavily on the experimentation and trial. To concentrate on these limitations, sheet metal forming simulations has been applied to detect crack in sheet metal forming process. In this dissertation simulation is carried out on Ansys and Hyper form software, simulation result validation is carried out by experimentation process. By using sheet metal simulation, we can easily analyse the meshing conditions, stress analysis & failure point in sheet metal. After analysing the data, we can easily finalize the forming process parameter & experimentation which is the motive of this dissertation.

An efficient method to detect traffic lights and recognize signal count-down timings is developed. Traffic scenes are often complex as it include lot of information, keeping constant attention on the traffic signs is not an easy task for drivers. Therefore some traffic data or signs can be missed for several causes such as the complexity of the road scene, the high number of visual information, or even the bad weather condition or visual fatigue. The countdown timings are segmented and extracted from the image based color segmentation. These signals also use specific shapes for each color, which aids visually impaired people in distinguishing signal aspects. Traffic light detection is done by color segmentation of the input image, based on the RGB color thresholding. The predominant glowing traffic light can be very well identified by this method regardless of the size and shape of the traffic lights. Although the shape of traffic lights is not considered, as a criterion for identification, only the round traffic lights are taken into account. Finally the detected digit in the timer is displayed on the screen and converted into voice.

The surface electromyography (sEMG) signal is a biomedical signal that measures electrical currents generated in muscles during its contraction representing neuromuscular activities. The existing system commercial EMG-controlled devices are limited to rudimentary control capabilities of either discrete states (e.g. hand close/open), or one degree of freedom proportional control. The proposed system investigates the relationship between forearm electrical activity and forces exerted by the fingertips. This system is used to calculate the muscular force while lifting, pulling, pushing the object in Hot Rolling Mill with the help of electromyography. The load cell is used to calculate the force exerted by the fingertips of the human. The value of the force exerted is displayed by using the LCD. A threshold force value is fixed and it is compared with the actual force exerted by the human being. If the actual force exceeds the threshold value human beings will be affected in a way like sprain and bone rubbing etc., so an alarm is provided to indicate this situation to avoid the above mentioned accidents.

As per this position, images are high memory size and create problems of their transmission. The compression is not only the main objective but also the image quality is an main factor which should be kept in mind for choosing any compression techniques. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is one of the most used image compression technique and the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is another which provides improvements in the quality of the image. This research paper proposed a scheme for image compression using DCT and DWT named as hybrid compression technique. DCT has high energy compaction property and often require less computational resources and DWT is multi-resolution transformation. The goal is to achieve higher compression rates with preserving the quality of the reconstructed image. And increase the PSNR value of image and quality of image.

Many water service providers in India fail to accomplish the fundamental objective of supplying adequate and safe water effectively at affordable prices due to an intermittent water supply. Besides inconveniencing users, risk of contamination and water wastage is more in intermittent water supply which leads to this failure. In view of this the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) proposes to provide continuous water supply to the consumers for the entire city in phases. Leakages in the distributaries must be fixed before a 24×7 water supply system is put in place to reduce the amount of water lost in distribution. This paper describes the leak detection of invisible leaks using Helium Mass Spectrometer implemented in Dalvi Nagar area of PCMC. Using this technique, total 18 invisible leak points are detected in three cycles of leak detection.The study includes flow measurement and its monitoring showing that water flow from Elevated Service Reservoir decreased after leak repair resulting in water conservation.

Heat transfer is directly proportional to the surface area and the temperature difference. While temperature difference is restricted by the application, so the surface area per unit volume is the only parameter which controls the heat transfer rate. As device having higher surface area per unit volume as compared to conventional channels is frequently used. With the development of variations in the field of fluid flow and heat transfer are increasing. Heat transfer enhancement can be achieved through dimpled tubes. This is an interesting technique in order to obtain more compact and efficient equipment. Tubes with artificial roughness obtained by providing dimples on the external tube surface are competitive in comparison to performance and cost of other enhanced techniques currently employed in turbulent flow. By using dimpled tubes heat transfer is enhanced compared to regular tubes. Enhanced tubes can be used for many applications such as Boilers, evaporators, condensers, Heaters, oil radiators and heat exchangers. This work concentrates on experimental investigation of forced convection heat transfer from dimpled tube with varying diameter and depth of dimples. The results of dimpled tube are compared with the tube without dimple. In the present investigation, heat transfer and hydrodynamics analysis of enhanced heat transfer tube with circular dimples was carried out. The dimples are disposed to form a certain specified depth on tube. Experimental tests were carried out with heating air on the entry side with a constant flow rate. This work accomplished by performing an experimental and numerical investigation using two different types of dimples: 1) circular (spherical) dimples with 4 mm diameter and 4mm depth with inline arrangement, 2) circular (spherical) dimples with 4 mm diameter and 4mm depth with staggered arrangement, 3) circular (spherical) dimples with 8 mm diameter and 4mm depth with inline arrangement and 4) circular (spherical) dimples with 8 mm diameter and 4mm depth with staggered arrangement Dimples were placed on periphery of copper tube with diameter of 4mm and 8 mm with depth of 4 mm. For those configurations the average heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number ratio were determined experimentally. For circular dimples, heat transfer enhancements (relative to a plain tube) were observed for Reynolds number range from 5000 to 12000.
