This paper deals with Development of 3-DOF Delta robot to pick and place a object from moving conveyor. The delta robot (a parallel arm robot) was invented in the early 1980s by a research team led by Professor Raymond Clavel at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland). After a visit to a chocolate maker, a team member wanted to develop a robot to place pralines in their packages. The purpose of this new type of robot was to manipulate light and small objects at a very high speed, an industrial need at that time. The main idea of pick and place robot is to carry out the operations in minimum time and also be cost efficient. The project involves kinematic and dynamic modelling of the robot. The kinematic parameters, involving the lengths of the bicep and forearm, are calculated based on the work volume requirements and the dynamic parameters, involving the motor torque and speed. Delta robot is as an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, and multipurpose programmable in three or more axis. A Parallax system is developed to make a Delta robot pick and place parts on a moving conveyer. To achieve motion planning of the Delta robot under a control of stepper motor, forward and backward kinematics of the Delta arms is derived at first. Then, the stepper program is developed in PLC to perform the angular motion attached to the arms. Finally, product sensing and motion controller movements are integrated into one system to perform the pick and place of the products in the conveyor automatically.

During the major surgery in the hospital the patient must be in anaesthetizing condition. If the operation lasts for a long time say suppose for 4 or 5 hours, anaesthesia cannot be given in a single stroke to the patient. Over dosage may cause a critical condition for the patient’s towards death. If lower amount of anaesthesia is given to the patient, the patient may be wakeup at the middle of the operation. To Overcome this problem, the anaesthetist administers few millilitres of anaesthesia per hour to the patient in a particular interval of time. If the anaesthetist fails to administer the anaesthesia to the patient at the particular time interval. To overcome such hazardous problems the design of an automatic operation of an anaesthesia machine based on a Raspberry pi is effective. In this system provided syringe infusion pump along with the Raspberry pi. The anaesthetist can set the level of anaesthesia in terms of millilitres per hour to administer anaesthesia to the patient after receiving the signal from the temperature sensor, Heart beat sensor and Respiration sensor, the raspberry pi controls the signal to the desire level and fed into the servo motor to drive the infusion pump in proper manner. The anaesthesia is administered to the patient according to the stepper motor rotation. If the level of anaesthesia is decreased to lower level (set level), the physician to refill the anaesthesia in the syringe pump to continue the process.

Beam is an important structural member that exists in RC structure. Normally two zones arise in beam, i.e. compression zone at top and tension zone at bottom of simple sup-ported beam. As concrete is weak in tension, steel is introduced in the tension zone to take the tension, so logically no concrete is required in tension side. But concrete is to be provided on tension side to act as a strain transferring media to steel and may be called as ‘sacrificial concrete’. Partial replacement of the concrete below the neutral axis is an idea that can create reduction in weight and savings in materials. In this paper, an experimental investigation on partial replacement of concrete in the tension zone that is be-low the neutral axis by creating air voids. Air voids were created using thermocol. Beams were cast using different percentage of thermocol. The results obtained for control specimens and beams with thermocol are compaired.

In today’s post, we will learn how to recognize text in images using an open source tool called Tesseract and OpenCV. The method of extracting text from images is also called Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or sometimes simply text recognition. In this paper an assistive system has been proposed which is useful for visually impaired or also normal person. It is the system which reads texual information present on papers and produce corresponding voice using OCR(Optical Character Recognition)and TTS(Text-To-Speech) system. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a system that provides a full alphanumeric recognition of printed or handwritten characters by simply scanning the text image. OCR system interprets the printed or handwritten characters image and converts it into corresponding editable text document. The text image is divided into regions by isolating each line, then individual characters with spaces. After character extraction, the texture and topological features like corner points, features of different regions, ratio of character area and convex area of all characters of text image are calculated. Previously features of each uppercase and lowercase letter, digit, and symbols are stored as a template. Based on the texture and topological features, the system recognizes the exact character using feature matching between the extracted character and the template of all characters as a measure of similarity.

Background: Around 30 million women experience pregnancy and approximately 26 million have a live birth each year in India, almost 45,000 deaths per annum occurs due to complications during pregnancy period which can be managed and prevented. India is contributing 16 per cent of the global maternal deaths. In the year 2106, India’s maternal mortality ratio is 130 per 100 000 live births. However, pregnancy period is critical period of women’s life, especially who belong to lower socio economic background, who are not aware about complications such as severe bleeding, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, sepsis, obstructed labor, unsafe abortion, anaemia etc., and also lack of awareness regarding nutrition, hygiene and passive behaviour towards health. Other factors are also leading cause of maternal deaths such as early age of marriages, repeated child birth and traditional preferences for home deliveries among poor population. Aim of the study: To investigate the knowledge, health seeking behaviour and access of health care facilities regarding antenatal care among mothers who had last birth within 5 years. Methods: Descriptive epidemiology was done using cross-sectional analysis; non-random sample were taken from the JJ community of Zakhira in New Delhi, from February, 2019 to April, 2019. A total sample of 284 female were selected, who had last birth within 5 years. The study was done by interviewing women who had last birth within 5 years among slum dwellers with the help of predesigned and pretested semi-structured questionnaire along with the informed consent form. House to house survey was done to collect the information and the questionnaire was also available in the local language. Results: In this study, majority i.e., 60.21% of the women were in the age group between 20 to 25 years old. 67.25%of the women’s education level was only primary education that reflects upon the scarce of educational resource. 62.32% of the women were married before the stipulated age of 18 years. 45.42% of the respondents were registered more than 6 months of pregnancy. Meanwhile, 16.90% of the respondents were having no knowledge about registration of pregnancy. 68.77% of the women were having knowledge about the signs of pregnancy complications such as vaginal bleeding and foetal movement and 31.23% of women have knowledge regarding other complications such as convulsions, prolonged labor, breathing difficulties, and abdominal pain. 68.30 % of the women have knowledge about maternal health schemes such as JSY and JSSK. Meanwhile, 31.68%of the women were having knowledge regarding PMMVY, PMSMY. So, there is required to bring the benefit to the target beneficiaries, more tools to use to create higher awareness among poor population. 70.77% of the women said that maternal health schemes are not helpful at all because of procedural hassles. Only 5.98% of women were consumed iron and folic acid tablet for more than 4 months. Meanwhile 43.30% respondents were consumed iron and folic acid tablet for less than 2 months only. 83.45% of the women were purchased iron and foilc acid and 29.92% of the respondents were got iron and folic acid from hospital. The sources are clears that women are preferred to visit private nursing home. So, they need to buy iron and folic acid. Large numbers of women i.e., 63.73% were to be found that they were visiting a private nursing home instead of a government hospital. It further supports the finding poor women hard to find the hospital. Very few i.e., 19.71% of the women were followed doctor’s prescribed schedule. Meanwhile, 66.54% of the women have visited the hospital as the requirement arose. It indicates the women passive behaviour towards health during pregnancy. 83.33% of the women received once an ANC check-up during the entire period of pregnancy. It indicates that urban poor pregnant women are yet to get comprehensive antenatal care this indicates that antenatal services to be extended beyond sporadic visits. Conclusion: In this study, considerable gaps were found in the knowledge, health seeking behaviour and access of health care infrastructure regarding the antenatal care among the slum living women. Hence, there is a need to be increased community IEC activities about ANC services which are available free of cost in India. It will help to understand the importance of pregnancy care among the slum dwellers.

For more than 150 years, spark plugs have powered internal combustion engines. Automakers are now one step closer to being able to replace this long-standing technology with laser igniters, which will enable cleaner, more efficient, and more economical vehicles. The technique of laser ignition has reached a high degree of maturity. It allows the improvement of performance of large MW gas engines: higher ignition pressures, capability for ignition of leanest mixtures, lower NOx content in the exhaust, higher efficiency. Conventional spark plugs pose a barrier to improving fuel economy and reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a key component of smog. Engines make NOx as a byproduct of combustion. If engines ran leaner -- burnt more air and less fuel -- they would produce significantly smaller NOx emissions. Laser igniters could one day replace spark plugs in automobile engines, Not only would these lasers allow for better performance and fuel economy, but cars using them would also create less harmful emissions.

Previous surveillance systems were based on aircrafts and CCTV cameras. Limitations of these systems are less cost effective and restrictions over areas to be monitored. Such systems are highly dependent on human operator for supervision and intervention. So, we have adopted the monitoring using drone technology which can overcome the limitations of both systems explained above. as drones have meaningful growth and is useful for detecting faults in critical areas. drone based image capturing system based on platform arduino controller and multichannel sensing module. This paper focuses mainly on operational and tactical drone application in disaster management using a time-scaled separation of the application, like pre-disaster activity, activity immediately after the occurrence of a disaster and the activity after the primary disaster elimination. Paper faces to 5 disasters, like nuclear accidents, dangerous material releases, floods, earthquakes and forest fires. Author gathered international examples and used own experiences in this field. Results and discussion: An earthquake is a rapid escalating disaster, where, many times, there is no other way for arapid damage assessment than aerial reconnaissance. For special rescue teams, the drone application can help much in a rapid location selection, where enough place remained to survive for victims. Floods are typical for a slow onset disaster. In contrast, managing floods is a very complex and difficult task. It requires continuous monitoring of dykes, flooded and threatened areas. Drone can help managers largely keeping an area under observation. Forest fires are disasters, where the tactical application of drone is already well developed. Drone can be used for fire detection, intervention monitoring and also for post-fire monitoring. In case of nuclear accident or hazardous material leakage drone is also a very effective or can be the only one tool for supporting disaster management.

Increasing digital technology has revolutionized the life of people. Unlike the electoral system, there are many conventional uses of paper in its implementation. The aspect of security and transparency is a threat from still wide spread election with the conventional system (offline). General elections still use a centralized system, where in one organization manages it. Some of the problems that can occur in traditional electoral systems is with the organization that has full control over the database and system. It is possible to tamper with the database of considerable opportunities. Block chain technology is one of solution, because it embraces a decentralized system and the entire database are owned by many users. Block chain itself has been used in the Bit coin system known as the decentralized Bank system. By adopting blockchain in the distribution of databases on e-voting systems one can reduce the cheating sources of database manipulation. This project aims to implement voting result using block chain algorithm from every place of election. Unlike Bit coin with its Proof of Work, this will be a method based on a predetermined turn on the system for each node in the built of block chain.
