The Internet transformed our lives by connecting us more easily to information and other people in the virtual world. Mobile phones then became smart-phones and since then this concept has erupted and morphed into the Internet of Things, things which connect us to everyday objects. There is no end of objects that could be made “smarter”, some being more suited to this than others. Mirrors, for example, provide a large surface ideal for displaying information and interacting with. Most people have mirrors at home so the concept of a smart mirror that we can interact with is attractive. The device was to go beyond an ordinary mirror. The device was to look like a regular mirror but would have a screen inside and you would be able to interact with it. The main features would be showing basic weather, location based time information, reminders, calendar, news update, etc. The additional feature in this mirror is to display the youtube window on mirror which plays video of whatever we want using chromecast operation. One more interesting feature is there that is PIR sensor which works as motion sensor .If the person is come infornt of mirror then only mirror will start otherwise the smart mirror act as simply a mirror and the power consumption is also done.

In this work the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied on Al7075 alloy with the tin addition as the alloying element in a cast condition. 5% tin was added in Al7075 alloy to study the characteristic changes. The alloy was casted by die casting process in the foundry in required shape. After stir casting, the samples are age hardened and analysed for structural, mechanical and corrosion behaviour. The formed intermetallic compounds (Al₃Cu₁₂Sn) retards the grain growth, lead to grain refinement and result in further strengthening effect. The incremental increase in the strength of the cast sample is due to the precipitation hardening and orowan strengthening which are working together. The outcome of this process indicate, that the mechanical strength and Corrosion resistance have been enhanced much better than the parent material.

Circular Economy (CE) package accepted by the European Union (EU) in December 2015 promotes close-loop flows of materials. The main targets provided in the documents refer to the prevention of waste landfilling, efficient use of resources and energy, as well as re-use waste and by-products. Sewage sludge—residue from Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP)—has a great fertilizer potential and should be recycled in line with the CE strategy. Sewage sludge usage for agricultural purposes seems to be the best sustainable option of its disposal. New EU regulations related to fertilizers derived from bio-waste and by-products assume the uniformity of legislation in Member States and simplification of procedures for introducing innovative fertilizers into the internal market.However, a direct application of sewage sludge to the soil is restricted by heavy metals content. Sewage sludge commonly includes pathogenic microorganisms and toxic compounds. The aim of the study was to determine the state of the art and availability of technology for fertilizers production based on waste, especially on sewage sludge. As sewage sludge from different wastewater treatment plants varies in its chemical composition and physical properties, it is important to find a local solution to the problem of sewage sludge disposal. It has been found that organo-mineral fertilizers (OMFs) derived from sewage sludge and modified by the addition of mineral fertilizers seem to be suitable for application to the soil. Adding acids or alkali agents provide sterilization and binding of the components. Novel OMFs gave a comparable crop yield response as conventional fertilizers. They show a slow release of nutrients, which is the main advantage in relation to mineral fertilizers.

An arc fault is a discharge of electrical energy through the air. Under normal operation two conductors are connected and the flow of electrons passes through the essentially zero resistance path. If the connection is corroded or impure, it will have resistance and heat is generated. Over time the heat will wear down the contact and result in small arcs between connections. These arcs begin as low current faults, but given enough time they have the potential to breakdown to another phase or ground conductor resulting in a dangerous high current fault. In this paper, a new approach using WT base spectral energy calibration for arc fault analysis and classification with Fuzzy Logic Controller in dc systems is projected. In this approach we were design a cassie arc model for representation of practical arc condition. The arc voltage was analyzed using wavelet analysis and that feature of wavelet then utilized for design fuzzy rule base data. The method of detection associate arc fault involves solar PV output voltage analysis and so feature identification. This complete system was implemented and tested in MATLAB simulink 2015 atmosphere.

An enormous number of work forces are sent to check for unapproved stopping and fine those proprietors. Be that as it may, proprietors dodge the fine by different unlawful methods like renumerating the staff, compromising them and so on. Towing vans need to physically scan for unlawfully left vehicles. This framework requires huge overhead expenses in labor installment, fuel and other physical reconnaissance. Here we propose a framework that takes into account programmed illicit stopping discovery and alarming. The framework comprises of incorporating an RFID transmitter in each vehicle. RFID beneficiary circuit is mounted on each zone where stopping is denied. In the event that a vehicle is left in a territory where leaving is disallowed the RFID transmitter comes in rang of the recipient circuit. When this happens the RFID reader peruses the transmitter Id and can quickly caution authority with zone code so specialists can legitimately land at the spot and sends a SMS to the vehicle proprietor about the fine forced on the vehicle.
