Automatic Cashew Nut Breaking Using PLC Through Pneumatics
Abstract: Traditionally, cashew nut processing was completed manually in small batches and depends on skill of the labour. Cashew nut must be carefully cracked with hammers to avoid breaking the nut inside as whole nuts hold a higher market value than broken nuts. This paper aims at cashew nut processing which is fully automated having advantages in getting the whole nut at the same time reducing labor, more uniform and precise …

Implementation of Variable Random Data Generator
Abstract: Main objective of this paper is to design a hardware model for variable Random data generator module. The random generator module is designed based on the principle of LFSR (linear feedback shift registers). A LFSR is a shift register whose input bit is a linear function of its previous state. The register has a finite number of possible states; it must eventually enter a repeating cycle. However, an LFSR with …

Improved Face Recognition Rate Based on PCA and LDA Using Image Preprocessing Techniques
Abstract: Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are two powerful tools utilized for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction in most of pattern recognition applications. PCA selects features important for class representation while LDA algorithm selects features that are most effective for class separability. This paper carries out a comparative study of the two important algorithms in the context of enhancement obtained using certain image preprocessing techniques. The implementation …

Remote Hardware Control by Web Application
Abstract: This paper introduces an approach to implement a system that controls remote hardware by web application. Hardware control from a remote distance is a popular research area where there are different approaches studied in the literature. Real life electronic devices can be controlled from a very far distance with no limitation through Internet connection by this system. The system consists of three major parts—Web application part, Desktop application part, Hardware …

Design and Implementation of Single-Phase, Three-Level, Sub-Harmonic PWM Inverter with Short-Circuit Fault Detection
Abstract: This paper investigates the design and implementation of single-phase, three-level inverter controlled by sub-harmonic pulse-width modulation (SH-PWM). The performance of developed 3-level inverter is simulated and then is compared with 2-level conventional inverter as well as FFT analysis. Experimental test has been undertaken to examine the operating characteristics of the implemented inverter for supplying an inductive load. To increase the reliability of designed inverter in different applications, a short-circuit fault …
