Automated Headlight Intensity Controller and Speed Control in Vehicles
Abstract: AbstractHeadlight intensity of vehicles poses a great danger during night travel. The drivers of most vehicles use high bright beam while driving at night. This causes inconvenience for the person travelling from the opposite direction. Person experiences a sudden blaze for a short duration. When these headlights shine brightly, they cause a temporary blindness to a person, resulting in road accident during night. To avoid such incidents, we are designing …

Real-Time IR Intensity Measurement and Computation for Systems
Abstract: In contemporary defense mechanisms, infrared (IR) sensing has become a fundamental technology for identifying and neutralizing heat-seeking threats, especially concerning aircraft protection. Conventional IR detection systems, such as single-channel radiometers and basic thermal sensors, frequently face restrictions due to low spatial resolution, sluggish data processing, and inadequate user engagement. These constraints can impede the prompt identification of dangers like missile launches or flare activations, potentially endangering mission safety. Additionally, numerous …

Indicating Human Activity Intensity using Accelerometer
Abstract: In this paper, we propose to develop a system that senses the human activity and indicates the intensity of action performed. Intention is to broadly classify human as inactive, underactive, overactive and hyperactive by simply turning on the LED of the system corresponding to the data received on the controller from ADXL345. The focus is on the fact that energy expenditure is related to the sum of integral of values …

Accelerating High Arithmetic Intensity Storm Surge Model using CUDA
Abstract: GPUs (Graphic Processing Units) have opened the floodgates for high-performance computing, especially for programs that involve high-level arithmetic computations. Though parallel computing capability has been around for many years, it requires large and expensive hardware resources in the form of supercomputers. Presently, GPUs are found in all computing devices due to their reasonable prices. GPUs are now being tapped for speeding up legacy codes, especially in FORTRAN that involves high …

The Dangerous Effect of Delirium in Intensive Care Unit: Implication for Nurses
Abstract: Intensive care unit (ICU) syndrome and ICU psychosis have been used to mean a cluster of psychiatric symptoms that are common to the ICU environment. It is often posited that the ICU environment causes a lot of sleep deprivation and sensory overload or monotony, which result to this syndrome. However the study has shown that ICU syndrome does not differ from delirium and that it is caused exclusively by organic …
