Design and Development of Wristwatch for Blind Person
Abstract: Watches for blind person are already available, but, due to its cost, it is not affordable for the people in developing countries. In this project, main area of concern is about cost optimization of watch by modelling of wristwatch for the blind and visually challenged deaf person by using same features of simple watch. Main difference in design is that the watch face numbering is done in Louis Braille system …

Development of Electrochemical Discharge Machine for Machining Non-conductive Materials
Abstract: Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is the hybrid machining process combination of electrodischarge machining and electrochemical machining process. ECDM is different machining process for micro-drilling and micro-grooving of variety of glasses, ceramics and composites. Electrochemical discharge machining also called as spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE). ECDM process is an effective and micro-machining process for non-conductive materials. It is used in micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) applications. ECDM parameters are material removing rate (MRR), …

Whole-body Vibration among Operators of Mining Equipment in Indian Mining Condition: a Short Review and Recommendation
Abstract: The article focuses on the study of vibration control of heavy equipment mining machines (HEMMs), and its effect on workers involved in mining work. An effort has been made to study whole-body vibration (WBV) in open pit mining based on seat design factors. Mining machinery operators are exposed to WBV. The effect of these occupational hazards is slow, but it can be demonstrated that it is a serious cause of …
