Cold roll forming is a bending process where the bending occurs gradually in several forming steps from an undeformed strip to a finished profile. The process is very interesting for the sheet metal industry due to the high speed in which the profile can be produced. High strength steel has, in recent years, become more common in cold roll forming. These materials have advantages but also disadvantages that affect the design of the process. A variety of cross-section profiles can be produced, but each profile requires a set of roller. Design of the roller starts with a product pattern, which is the sequence of profile cross-sections, one profile for each stand of roller. The roller contours are then derived from the flower pattern profile.

Nowadays, haphazard parking problems are common in the city areas, especially in the metropolitan cities. This is a common scenario in the malls, shopping markets and even roadside parking allotments. It is extremely tough to manually supervise the parking of each and every car, keep a record of number of cars and money collected over a vast area. In this project when the car enters inside the parking area, there is a paying booth that is totally automated and there is also a barricade which opens if and only if the driver swipes his card and automatically closes again as the car enters inside. There are Green LED poles in front of each slot that glows when the slot is empty and automatically goes off when the car occupies the slot. Once all the slots are occupied, a Red LED pole at the entrance glows indicating parking full. This easily guides the driver with the availability and non-availability of parking. Delta PLC and SCADA techniques are incorporated in this system. Automatically parking bill is generated according to the time of parking for each vehicle. This system minimizes the human intervention and possibility of fake bill. In case of improper parking the voice message will alert the driver to re-park his vehicle properly into the slot.

The Directional Extrema Patterns are used to encode the relationship between the centre pixel and its neighbors by computing the edge information in four directions. The proposed work focuses on developing a feature vector for CBIR system with the combination of color DLEP and Gabor features to make the final feature vector. Local Binary Pattern (LBP) operator has become very useful in image retrieval, where a centre pixel is compared with surrounding pixels to obtain a feature vector. However, the directions are not obtained in this method. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve the performance of the retrieval system with the help of Hadoop framework. The main objective is distribution of image data over a large number of nodes over Hadoop using Map Reduce Technique. Hadoop defines a framework which allows processing on distributed large sets across clusters of computer.

All over the world, the cities and the capitals suffer from a common problem –traffic congestion. It takes lot of time and money. The currently used tools for checking traffic are expensive and even have limitations. Since social networking sites, such as twitter, facebook, etc. have spread in recent years becoming a new kind of real time information channels people share their information, emotions and opinions in terms of short messages. Twitter is one of the most popular social networking sites. The twitter data, i.e. tweets have a benefit over the other social networking sites that it is generally associated with some meta-data and have the 140 character constraint, thus allowing the news oriented data. This paper proposes a system that makes use of tweets to check out for traffic in real time. The system fetches tweet according to several search criteria, process them by using text mining techniques and finally classifies them using the SVM algorithm. The aim is to assign suitable class label to every tweet as related with an activity of traffic events or not. We use support vector machine as a classified model. Finally we can notify the user of presence of traffic by displaying the highlighted map and provide an alternate way.

This project aims at protecting and safeguarding women using smart technology based on IOT. Nowadays Women harassment is the most common and frequently happening crime in India. As we can see in developed countries like USA, UK etc, the harassment is less due to high security and strict laws put forth by their government, when compared to developing countries like India. So it proves that illiteracy is not the main cause for such assault, it is because of the unawareness within the people and about the self protecting weapons. The percentage of harassment caused by the known people or the closed ones like relatives, friends or neighbours rather than unkown people. In order to avoid such harassment on women, self protecting weapons such as pepper spray, handgun etc are currently available. But these weapons have disadvantages, to overcome these disadvantages this project implements smart weapon system using smart technology.

Sand is a type of soil, which is naturally available at banks of river, this type of sand is called natural sand. Sand is used in construction of civil Engineering elements like house, dam, bridge etc. Natural or River sand are weathered particles of rocks and are of various grades or sizes depending upon the amount of wearing. At present time it is not very easy to get sand of good quality and also it has to be transported from a long distance, hence cost of construction is increased. Natural river sand takes many years to form but demand of sand in construction works are very high, so it is a need of the present time to find some alternate to natural sand. Artificial sand is constructed in such a manner to keep minimum voids in sand hence it resulted into reduction of quantity of cement in production of concrete, hence artificial sand is economical also.
