The dry running of centrifugal pump is an ever growing problem in today's life; it is not only a problem that is faced in rural areas but also in urban areas as well. The pipelines which discharge water, most of the time do not discharge the water continuously thus having large volume of air pockets in them which causes the centrifugal pump to dry run. This dry running causes severe thermal rise which may cause failure of parts, leading to high maintenance of centrifugal pump. In order to avoid this, a device was made which runs on a piston cylinder arrangement and works on the principle of detecting pressure difference in the cylinder.

With a specific end goal to isolate the duplicating source district from the sticking target region, the picture ought to be sectioned into little fixes, each of which is semantically autonomous to the others. This employment is best done by an expert with much ordeal of computerized crime scene investigation. In our execution, in any case, we only consider the programmed approach additionally actualize the master interfering method work. In this anticipate, we propose a plan to identify the duplicate move imitation in a picture, principally by extracting the key focuses for correlation. The main difference to the customary techniques is that the proposed plan first segments the test picture into semantically free fixes preceding key point extraction. As an outcome, the duplicate move locales can be identified by matching between these patches. The coordinating procedure comprises of two stages. In the main stage, we locate the suspicious sets of patches that may contain duplicate move imitation districts, and we generally gauge an affine transform matrix. In the second stage, an Expectation-Maximization-based algorithm is intended to refine the evaluated grid and to affirm the existence of duplicate move fraud. Exploratory results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed plan by means of contrasting it and the state-of-the-workmanship plans on people in general databases.

Data disclosure is more advantageous in an organization for achieving the privacy and security. The data can be micro data contain information about person, a business, or an organization. Statistics from security firms, research institutions and government organizations show that the number of data-leak instances has grown rapidly in recent years. Among various data-leak cases, human mistakes are one of the main causes of data loss. There exist solutions detecting inadvertent sensitive data leaks caused by human mistakes and to provide alerts for organizations. A common approach is to screen content in storage and transmission for exposed sensitive information in such a case a detection operation usually requires to be conducted in secrecy which becomes challenging to satisfy in practice, as detection servers may be compromised or outsourced. In this paper, we present a privacy preserving data-leak detection (DLD) solution to solve the issue where a special set of sensitive data digests is used in detection. The advantage of our method is that it enables the data owner to safely delegate the detection operation to a semi-honest provider without revealing the sensitive data to the provider. The proposed system is developed to provide the security for Personal Health Records. The data is anonymized and maintained by the administrator and the records are secured from the providers by hiding the sensitive data. Using our techniques, an Internet service provider (ISP) can perform detection on its customers’ traffic securely and provide data-leak detection as an add-on service for its customers. In another scenario, individuals can mark their own sensitive data and ask the administrator of their local network to detect data leaks for them.

A game clock consists of two adjacent clocks and buttons to stop one clock while starting the other, such that the two component clocks never run simultaneously. Game clocks are used in two-player games where the players move in turn. The purpose is to keep track of the total time each player takes for his or her own moves, and ensure that neither player overly delays the game. The Existing International Chess game consists of manual timers, in which a player has to operate the timer manually. That is there are two manual timers operated by an each player. This leads to time consuming and an effort making game. If a particular player has low reflexes he finds difficult to operate a manual timers. Thus to overcome all these inabilities an Intelligent Chess Clock has been introduced. This Clock is an application oriented clock in which it not only tries to overcome the players deformity but also tries to make a system an automotive one. This is the major reason for introducing this system but rather than this we can indulge different other things. For an example to be explained we could mention ten different international modes.

The term "energy harvesting" refers to the generation of energy from sources such as ambient temperature, vibration or air flow. Converting the available energy from the environment allows a self-sufficient energy supply for small electric loads such as sensors or radio transmitters. Kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy by means of the piezoelectric effect: Piezo elements convert the kinetic energy from vibrations or shocks into electrical energy. Using suitable electronics, this effect can be used for creating a self-sufficient energy supply system. This is of particular interest whenever a power supply via cable is not possible and the use of batteries and the associated maintenance expenditure are not desired. On that point are numerous agents on which amount of energy that can be gleaned from a vibrating system depends. The condition of the piezo - patch, position of the piezo - patch, magnitude of applied load, type of material used, model configuration, circuitry used etc. are some important elements that must be considered during energy harvesting. In this paper, we have reviewed the vibrational energy harvesting from different model configurations and also we have brushed up some papers in order to examine the various techniques through which efficiency of a piezoelectric energy harvester can be bettered.

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is image retrieval approach which allows the user to extract an image from a large database depending upon a user specific query. An efficient and effective image retrieval performance is achieved by choosing the best transform and classification techniques. Currently available transform techniques such as Fourier Transform, Cosine Transform, and Wavelet Transform suffer from discontinuities such as edges in images. To overcome this problem, a technique called Ripplet Transform (RT) has been implemented along with the neural network based classifier called multilayered perceptron (MLP) for finding an effective retrieval of image. Classification using multilayered perceptron (MLP) with the Manhattan Distance measure showed varying experimental results for dimensions of Images. The performance of various Transform is compared to find the of particular wavelet function for image retrieval. In proposed system, training and testing is provided on Wang image database. The results of retrieval of images are expressed in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) values compared with various other proposed schemes to show the superiority of our proposed system. Classification using multilayered perceptron (MLP) with the Manhattan Distance measure showed varying experimental results for different sets of Images.
