Real-time Collision Detection for Visually Impaired Peoples
Abstract: AbstractThe blind people are at a significant drawback because they often lack the information for avoiding obstacles and threats in their path. They have very little information on self-velocity, objects, route, etc., which is essential for travel. Previously developed navigation systems use costly equipment which is often not affordable by the common blind peoples. Also, the navigation systems available are heavy weighted and very complex to use. Our research is …

Green Manufacturing with Steel Swarf
Abstract: The industrial sector drives nearly one-third of global energy demand, with most of this energy used to produce bulk materials. However, the rate of recycling of metallic materials is much higher than non metallic ones, especially when the scrap is heavy. But in very loose swarfs the transformation rates are poor, and processes are unsustainable. To improve the life productivity of bulk materials, and also lower the specific energy consumption, …

Weldability of Ferritic Stainless Steel
Abstract: The ferritic stainless steels are generally considered less weldable than austenitic stainless steels. In case of welding of first-generation ferritic stainless steels, rapid grain growth of ferrite takes place in both the fusion zone and heat-affected zone. These coarse grains have very low ductility and toughness. Excessive grain growth can be avoided by using lower welding heat input and or certain types of additives. They are lower in cost and …

Electrochemical Recovery of MnO2 from Spent Alkaline Batteries
Abstract: In the alkaline batteries of Zn/MnO2, the electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) is used as cathode that constitutes a very important part of household waste which contributes with heavy metals to the solid urban waste. This paper described the recovery of EMD by electro-oxidation on carbon cloth in acidic leached liquors from spent alkaline batteries. The maximum extraction for Mn and Zn were 43.68% (0.744 molL-1) and 56.11% (0.7321 molL-1) respectively. …

Characterization of Glass/Jute Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Epoxy Composite for Axial Flow Fan Blade
Abstract: Traditionally axial flow fan blades were manufactured by using metal alloys, but with the increase in blade size the blades grew heavier resulting in more vibrations during its working. It is impossible to manufacture the metallic blades to close tolerances making it uneconomical. Due to this dimensional instability, the metallic impeller fan blades are instead fabricated with glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP). To reduce the after effects of GFRP blades …
