shopping trolley is essential equipment for shopping in supermarkets or grocery stores. However, there were also shopping trolley safety issues such as sliding down from an escalator. Therefore, we have developed an automatic human and cell phone operated shopping trolley to solve the problems. The shopping trolley was equipped with sensors for easy movement in the shopping area. So that users can enjoy shopping and pay more attention on their children during shopping without the need of pushing the shopping trolley. This paper presents the technical construction of GSM based vehicle that could be operated from almost anywhere if GSM network exists. The process starts with initiating a call from the cell phone to a cell phone which is in auto received mode stacked in the vehicle. In the course of a call, if any of the keypad buttons was pressed a tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the transmission which is called Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) tone.

This paper presents a performance testing of the reciprocating pump to determine the working condition and analyzing the delivery and suction pressure which plays an important role in maintaining proper heads. Using conventional performance testing methods, efficiency and working of the pump are improved. Various performance test of pumps is available with different degrees of accuracy. Reciprocating pumps are used where flow is constant and high delivery pressures are required, so they are exposed to more risk of failure when changing the pressure by manually regulating a valve. Even a witnessed test will not be correct and have a tolerance on the accuracy due to the collective gauge inaccuracies and pressure fluctuations. As a result, various sensors are used to check the current performance of the equipment. Arduino Uno which is an open source microcontroller has been used due to its low cost. In this study, the performance testing, which is easy to detect the defects if the pump is not operating as per the design requirements is carried out using G 1/4 Pressure Transducer. Data Acquisition is done with the help of the Arduino Uno board and a pressure transducer in a computer. The measurements were taken for the pump operating at a speed of 350 RPM. The main emphasis is laid to make the pumps designed to operate for longer times and to eliminate failures which result in downtime during operation in industries and even in households with improved safety. The obtained results were compared with the results obtained in conventional measurement technique to determine if any of the parameters is affecting the performance of the reciprocating pump.

A novel copy-move forgery detection scheme using adaptive over-segmentation and SURF is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme integrates both block-based and keypoint-based forgery detection methods. First, the proposed Adaptive Over-Segmentation algorithm segments the host image into non-overlapping and irregular blocks adaptively. Then, the feature points are extracted from each block as block features using SURF, and the block features are matched with one another to locate the labeled feature points; this procedure can approximately indicate the suspected forgery regions. To detect the forgery regions more accurately, we propose the Forgery Region Extraction algorithm, which replaces the feature points with small superpixels as feature blocks and then merges the neighboring blocks that have similar local color features into the feature blocks to generate the merged regions; finally, it applies the morphological operation to the merged regions to generate the detected forgery regions. The experimental results indicate that the proposed copy-move forgery detection scheme can achieve much better detection results even under various challenging conditions compared with the existing state-of-the-art copy move forgery detection methods.`

This paper proposes a RCA(ripple carry adder) based Montgomery multiplier to achieve low cost and high performance. The proposed multiplier uses ripple carry adder to avoid the high usage of memory in the system. This RCA is used to do the addition operation at each stage without saving the carry but by propagating it to the next stage and also to perform operand precomputation and format conversion that helps to convert carry save format to binary format leading to a low hardware complexity and high speed performance at the expense of more clock cycles for completing single multiplication. To overcome the weakness, a RCA is proposed to reduce the additional clock cycles for operand precomputation. Experimental results show that the proposed Montgomery modular can achieve higher performance and significant hardware complexity reduction when compared with previous design.

An alternate to OPC in reducing carbon emissions and depletion of natural resources is Geopolymer concrete. Geopolymers are inorganic polymers and their chemical composition is similar to natural materials. Geopolymer binders are the alternatives in the development of acid resistant concrete i.e. durable concrete. The main objective of this thesis is to standardize mix design for medium grade concrete and to study the durability of geopolymer concrete under aggressive chemical environment with particular reference to the effect of acids, Sulphates and chlorides. To standardize mix design for GPC40, several trail mixes were carried out by changing alkaline solution to fly ash ratio of 0.40, 0.43and 0.45 and molarities of 8M,10M and 12M. Optimum molarity and alkaline solution to fly ash ratio were arrived at 10M and 0.43 respectively to achieve the desired grade of GPC40.Specimens were immersed in water with concentration of 5% acids, sulphates and chlorides. The compressive strength and percentage weight loss of GPC40 were compared with Ordinary Portland concrete. The performance of GPC is found to better when compared to Ordinary Portland concrete, when immersed in acids and sulphates.

Aircraft recognition remains a challenging problem despite a great deal of effort to automate the recognition process. Most of the aircraft recognition methods involve extraction of overall shapes of aircraft at first and then represent the aircraft based on the extracted shape with different features for recognition. The major disadvantage of these methods is that they require a huge amount of analysis on shape extraction, which is too unrealistic for targets in satellite images. we propose a new hybrid recognition method that combines contour wavelet features and correlation on shape analysis. Initially, direction estimation is used to align the aircraft in same direction. Then, reconstruction based similarity measure is introduced to transform the type recognition problem into a reconstruction problem. Filtration is done for Gaussian noise removal purpose and wavelet transform is used as a feature extraction method. Fuzzy clustering is done in final to carry out segmentation on aircraft image. The performance of these used algorithms will be differentiated though precision and recall rate metrics. The experimental results illuminate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed system to recognize aircraft in satellite remote sensing images.

Automation in the modern world is inevitable. Any multipoint machine aimed at the economical use of man, machine, and material worth the most. Lubrication is the lifeline for any industry. Machines in various industries like textile, printing, machine tools, automobile industries and excavators are to be lubricated in order to reduce the friction created between moving parts. If machines are not properly lubricated at regular intervals they are seized thus incurring heavy losses. The manufacturers of machinery are recommended to lubricate various points at a periodic interval. The lubrication of various points of machinery is also a difficult task in industries where more number of machines have been installed and needed lubrication like printing machinery, excavators, textile machinery etc., where the number of points to be lubricated may range from 40 to 50. In the above cases, lubrications are not only a time consuming process, but also results in workman fatigue. The centralized multipoint lubricating system is used for easy and economical lubrication of multiple points from one centrally located distributor. It is designed to deliver the right amount of lubricant at the right time to every point by means of distributors connected by hoses.
