Electric Vehicles

-
 Day by day petrol price hike might have made us at least think about an Electric Vehicle. Most of us are really confused whether to own one or not due to many reasons like higher price, maintenance, lesser range, availability of charging stations etc. It is actually a technological wonder. Let us now see what are the advantages, challenges as well as disadvantages of owning an EV. EVs came into existence in mid-19th century. Electricity was only one among the preferred method of vehicle propulsion. Later, modern IC Engines dominated the sector. In 21st Century, highly efficient EVs which were capable of replacing IC engines were produced. The main advantage was its emission-less engines. Increased focus in renewable energy and to reduce climatic changes caused due to carbon emission was the main agenda for the EV developers. Nowadays, electric engines are capable enough to produce an equivalent power which an IC Engine can generate. Premium automotive brands like Mercedes, BMW, Po...

MOBILE TECHNOLOGY

-
  Mobile technology is a category consisting of a wide range of devices, with new two-way technology being created each day with unique uses. Regardless of form factor, all of these are linked by their capability to send and receive signals by communicating with other devices on networks WHAT IS MOBILE TECHNOLOGY? Mobile technology is technology that goes where the user goes. It consists of portable two-way communications devices, computing devices and the networking technology that connects them. Currently, mobile technology is typified by internet-enabled devices like smartphones, tablets and watches. These are the latest in a progression that includes two-way pagers, notebook computers, mobile telephones (flip phones), GPS-navigation devices and more. The communications networks that connect these devices are loosely termed wireless technologies. They enable mobile devices to share voice, data and applications (mobile apps). Mobile technology is pervasive and growing. The number...

Working of true RMS meter

-
   In a DC amplifier, two thermocouples form the part of the bridge in the input circuit. The input voltage is then amplified and given to the thermocouple's heating element. The heat produced by the wire is sensed using a measuring thermocouple that will produce DC voltage proportional to it. The DC voltage upsets the bridge balance. DC amplifier, amplifies the unbalanced voltage and is given to the heating element. When these two thermocouples produce the same output voltage, the reestablishment of the bridge occurs. Now the feedback thermocouple’s heating element is proportional to the AC current within the input thermocouple i.e, the RMS value of input AC signal is proportional to the DC.         DC value is indicated by metre moment in the output circuitIn the output circuit, meter moment indicates the DC value. A frequent limitation of the utility of the RMS respond voltmeter for the measuring highly nonlinear wave forms        ...

ROBOTIC SURGERY

-
It has been nearly 20 years since the first appearance of robotics in the operating room. In that time, much progress has been made in integrating robotic technologies with surgical instrumentation, as evidenced by the many thousands of successful robot-assisted cases. However, to build on past success and to fully leverage the potential of surgical robotics in the future, it is essential to maximize a shared understanding and communication among surgeons, engineers, entrepreneurs, and healthcare administrators.  Surgical robotics is a new technology that holds significant promise. Robotic surgery is often heralded as the new revolution, and it is one of the most talked about subjects in surgery today. Up to this point in time, however, the drive to develop and obtain robotic devices has been largely driven by the market. There is no doubt that they will become an important tool in the surgical armamentarium, but the extent of their use is still evolving. A convincing illustration ...

FLEXIBLE ELECRONIC SKIN

-
  Abstract Electronics plays a very important role in developing simple devices used for any purpose. In every field electronic equipments are required. The best achievement as well as future example of integrated electronics in medical field is Artificial Skin. It is ultrathin electronics device attaches to the skin like a sick on tattoo which can measure electrical activity of heart, brain waves & other vital signals. Artificial skin is skin grown in a laboratory. It can be used as skin replacement for people who have suffered skin trauma, such as severe burns or skin diseases, or robotic applications. This paper focuses on the Artificial skin(E-Skin) to build a skin work similar to that of the human skin and also it is embedded with several sensations or the sense of touch acting on the skin. This skin is already being stitched together. It consists of millions of embedded electronic measuring devices: thermostats, pressure gauges, pollution detectors, cameras, microphones, ...

THE NEURAL NETWORKS IN CONTROL SYSTEMS

-
 The ever-increasing technological demands of our modem society require innovative approaches to highly demanding control problems. Artificial neural networks with their massive parallelism and learning capabilities offer the promise of better solutions, at least to some problem.  Neural networks have the potential for very complicated behavior. They consist of many interconnected simple nonlinear systems, which are typically modeled by sigmoid functions. The massive interconnections of the rather simple neurons. which make up the human brain, provided the original motivation for the neural network models. The terms artijicial neural networks and connectionist models are typically used to distinguish them from the biological networks of neurons of living organisms.  Neural networks are characterized by their network topology-that is, by the number of interconnections, the node characteristics that are classified by the type of nonlinear elements used, and the kind of lear...
