Earth Remote Sensing in Agricultural Instrumentation
ABSTRACT
This paper describes the earth remote sensing techniques used in agriculture. Spaceborne remote-sensing instruments are used for applications ranging from global climate monitoring to combat-theater weather tracking to agricultural and forestry assessment. Aerospace has pioneered numerous remote-sensing technologies and continues to advance the field.
Aerospace work in remote sensing supports not only the Department of Defense (DOD), but NASA, NOAA, and other governmental agencies as well. In the coming years, as these organizations seek to coordinate their remote-sensing efforts, Aerospace research and analysis will play an important role in determining what type of systems are developed and deployed.
Remote sensing has shown potential for use in agricultural management for a number of years; however, the availability of fine spatial resolution, near real-time data has limited its application. New companies that provide aircraft-based imagery to meet the resolution and temporal requirements for agricultural management are now emerging. The promise of commercially available, high-resolution satellite imagery will also provide additional sources of remotely sensed data .
Several applications have been developed to use remotely sensed data to infer both plant and soil characteristics. The development approaches appear to be emerging in the application of remote sensing and site-specific agriculture. Advances in precision farming technology provide the tools needed to apply information from multispectral images to management problems. There is still considerable work to be done before the full benefits of remotely sensed data can be realized, but there are applications that can benefit from this data at the present time. And it is ensured that sensing systems keep pace with the customers' changing needs and goals.

ROBOTS WITH MUSCLES
ROBOTS WITH MUSCLES
ABSTRACT
Industrial robots, which are heavy moving bodies, show high risk of damage when working and also during training sessions in dense environment of other robots. This initiated the allure for lighter robot constructions using Soft arms. Soft arms that exhibit a close similitude to human arms reduce the use of heavy driving equipments like motors at each joints. Soft arms create powerful, compact, compliance and light robotic arms and consists of pneumatic actuators like McKibben muscles which is a rubber bladder surrounded by a helically weaved unstretchable nylon cloth which converts the radial stress into axial stress, which in turn is converted into useful work by the use of apt mechanisms. This paper solves certain problems in the soft arms by the use of Electro Active Polymers (EAP) as sensors, which also simplify a robotic finger models by acting like an actuator. Ion-exchange Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC) is one of the EAPs, which in the form of metal strips can be bend using little voltage and a voltage is produced across its width when it is mechanically deformed. Highly Dynamic sensing characteristics of IPMC strips were remarkable in accuracy and repeatability and found to be superior to existing motion sensors and micro sensors. A new type of soft actuator and multi-fingered robotic hand made from IPMC artificial muscles will be quite superior to conventional grippers and multi-fingered robotic hands. This paper would obliterate all the difficulties currently present in McKibben muscles, which currently restricts its application. Adroit use of the solutions provided in this paper would abet researchers to produce highly efficient artificial muscles.

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL RS-232
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL RS-232
Abstract
In the present automated world, the vigorous usage of computers and other micrprocessors; it is important to understand the means of communication between the controller and the controlled variables in the processes in industries or the transfer of data between terminals in any other. If the available resources are to be utilised in the best possible manner; then the specifics of the resource must be known. In the present paper the RS-232 (now better known as the EIA232 standard) one of the oldest serial communication channels, with details of its pin configurations and reference levels for grounding and operational voltage range and its uses are discussed. The RS-232 has 25 pins of which 22 pins are used for the signals and grounding when the end terminals are both different (male at the data termination equipment and female at the data communication equipment), however when the data communication equipment and the data termination equipment have the same terminals (either both male or both female) then the number of pins can be reduced to 9 pins. Sometimes it is required that the 9 pin connecter be interfaced with the 25 pin. This paper gives the cable wiring examples for such interfaces. This paper forms the genisis for some of the present and future protocols.

The New Integrated WAN Interconnected SCADA Systems
The New Integrated WAN Interconnected SCADA Systems
ABSTRACT:
A number of new technologies for monitoring, protection, and control of the power grid have been perfected in recent years and a judicious application of these technologies can help to reduce the frequency and severity of future catastrophic failures. Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system provides an excellent tool for monitoring and control of grid operations. With the opening of the electrical utility market, SCADA systems have now changed from “Luxury” to a “Necessity”.
The traditional SCADA approaches assume that each function such as protection, control, monitoring, and maintenance are supported by a separate infrastructure of recording instruments and/or controllers for obtaining and processing data. One issue that did not get adequate attention regarding control and protection of power systems in the past SCADA systems is the data integration and information exchange. These SCADA models provide acceptable performance and reliability, but it has numerous drawbacks, particularly in the areas of flexibility and open access to information. The new upcoming trends like Wide Area Network (WAN), interconnected SCADA systems can eliminate these drawbacks. Configuration and communication techniques of WAN interconnected SCADA system are presented in the paper. This system can lead to excellent reliability and processing capabilities of existing SCADA systems.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN MICROPROCESSOR BASED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR SUBSTATION AUTOMATION
DEVELOPMENT OF AN MICROPROCESSOR BASED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR SUBSTATION AUTOMATION
Abstract:
In high voltage transmission systems fault levels are generally high, which if not cleared rapidly can cause system instability as well as extensive damages and hazards to personnel. Speed of operation, selectivity, reliability and security of the trip decision assume more importance at higher operating voltages as they handle bulk of the power. Data Acquisition is the prerequisite to achieve the above stated objectives. The paper deals with the designing and assembling of architecture, both hardware and software design for data acquisition for automating a substation. A scaled down model of a substation has been developed in this regard. The hardware mainly consists of signal processing and data acquisition. An Intel 8086 microprocessor has been used to acquire data. Software, developed in 8086 language, is written in modules for easy understanding and implementation. This program acquires data like bus voltages and line currents from the system. In order to demonstrate the use of data acquired we have developed a simple fault detection scheme using over voltage and over current criteria. When a fault signal is detected, the processor sends a trip signal to the appropriate circuit breaker to isolate the faulted component from the system. The program also calculates the power factor of the load present in the system. Possibilities of future developments to improve the design and performance of the data acquisition schemes have been discussed.

Security as a New Dimension in Embedded System Design
Security as a New Dimension in Embedded System Design
ABSTRACT
Today, security in one form or another is a requirement for an increasing number of embedded systems, ranging from low-end systems such as PDAs, wireless handsets, networked sensors, and smart cards, to high-end systems such as routers, gateways, firewalls, storage servers, and web servers. It has been observed that the cost of insecurity in electronic systems can be very high. For example, it was estimated that the “I Love You” virus caused nearly one billion dollars in lost revenues worldwide. With an increasing proliferation of such attacks, it is not surprising that a large number of users in the mobile commerce world (nearly 52% of cell phone users and 47% of PDA users, according to a survey by Forrester Research) feel that security is the single largest concern preventing the successful deployment of next-generation mobile services.
With the evolution of the Internet, information and communications security has gained significant attention. For example, various security protocols and standards such as SSL, WEP, and WTLS, are used for secure communications. While security protocols and the cryptographic algorithms they contain address security considerations from a functional perspective, many embedded systems are constrained by the environments they operate in, and by the resources they possess. For such systems, there are several factors that are moving security considerations from a function centric perspective into a system architecture design issue. For example,
* An ever increasing range of attack techniques for breaking security such as software, physical and side-channel attacks require that the embedded system be secure even when it can be logically or physically accessed by malicious entities. Resistance to such attacks can be ensured only if built into the system architecture and implementation.
* The processing capabilities of many embedded systems are easily overwhelmed by the computational demands of security processing, leading to undesirable tradeoffs between security and cost, or security and performance.
* Embedded system architectures need to be flexible enough to support the rapid evolution of security mechanisms and standards.
* New security objectives, such as denial of service and digital content protection, require a higher degree of co-operation between security experts and embedded system architects.
This paper will introduce the embedded system designer to the importance of embedded system security, review evolving trends and standards, and illustrate how the security requirements translate into system design challenges. Emerging solutions to address these challenges through a combination of advanced embedded system architectures and design methodologies will be presented.

Smart Dust
Smart Dust
ABSTRACT
With improvements in integration, packaging, circuit design, and process technology, autonomous sensor nodes like these will continue to shrink in size and power consumption while growing in capability to incorporate the requisite sensing, communication, and computing hardware, along with a power supply, in a volume no more than a cubic millimeter, while still achieving impressive performance in terms of sensor functionality and communications capability. These millimeter-scale nodes are called “Smart Dust.” Although mimicking the mobility of dust is not a primary goal.
The smart dust (mote) can be partitioned into four subsystems: sensors and analog signal conditioning, power system, transceiver front end, and the core. The core is essentially all the digital circuits in the system, including the receiver back end, sensor processing circuits, computation circuits, and memory. one requirement of the core is that it have a degree of on-the-fly reconfigurability determined by the changing needs of the mission. In this paper we define an ultra-low energy architecture for the mote core that will meet the needs of the military base monitoring scenario, look at general architecture concerns to provide guidance in mapping other applications into a mote architecture, and perform a brief theoretical comparison of three of the possible mote transmission techniques.

Today’s new smart IR sensors represent a union of two rapidly evolving sciences that combine IR temperature measurement with high-speed digital technologies usually associated with the computer. These instruments are called smart sensors because they incorporate microprocessors programmed to act as transceivers for bidirectional, serial communications between sensors on the manufacturing floor and computers in the control room.
Today’s more powerful sensor system have the following characteristics:
* Accepts inputs from various sensors.
* Provides local display of sensor readings.
* Allows for non-intrusive sensor calibration.
* Provides relays for local alarm action.
* Follows user defined alarm strategy.
* Accepts feedback signals from final control element.
* Has independent back-up.
* Low cost link to control room.
* Provides centralized monitoring.
In this paper we will give an overview of the recent advances in the smart ir temperature sensors which includes its application in “Space Heaters.”
Thus, integrating smart sensors into new or existing process control systems provides engineers with a new level of sophistication in temperature monitoring and control.

THE SPINTRONIC SCANNER FOR CANCER DETECTION
THE SPINTRONIC SCANNER FOR CANCER DETECTION
ABSTRACT
Spintronics is a branch of science that deals with the spin of an electron and not on its charge which electronics does. There are two spins (UP spin and DOWN Spin) like 0’s and 1’s to represent to states. The important property that spins could be directed in a particular direction, and the change in spin could be detected is used in our paper.
Cancer cells are easy to identify only when they are large in number. These cancer cells when matured results in the formation of tumor, which has to be removed by surgery. After surgery the presence of a single cancer cell would result in the growth of tumor in that part of the body.
This spintronic scanning technique is an efficient technique to detect cancer cells even when they are less in number.
The steps involved are,
1) The patient is exposed to a strong magnetic field so that his body cell gets magnetized.
2) A beam of electrons with polarized spin is introduced on the unaffected part of the body and the change in spin is detected by a polarimeter. Let it be X
3) A beam of electrons with polarized spin is introduced on the part which had undergone surgery. And the corresponding change in spin be Y
4)If X - Y = 0, it indicates that cancer cells have been removed from the body, if not it indicates the presence of traces of cancer cells and it has to be treated again for ensuring complete safety to the patient
Thus this technique efficiently identifies the presence of cancer cells in that part of the body that has undergone surgery to prevent any further development.

VEHICLE OPERATOR SAFETY
VEHICLE OPERATOR SAFETY
Abstract:
In extreme outdoor conditions, vehicles are designed to perform arduous tasks .Vehicles must navigate on uneven surfaces while lifting and moving heavy loads in areas like industries such as construction, agriculture and forestry. For vehicle operators, the chances of tipping or rolling over are high, and safety is a concern. Operator’s safety is increased by installing preventative measures such as electronic sensors to detect the vehicle’s operating condition and alignment. The sensor families which are used in off-road vehicles include tilt sensors, inductive position sensors and pressure sensors. This paper will describe the advantages of using these three distinct sensor types in off-road vehicles to ensure the safety of operator.

VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTATION
Abstract
Historically, Instrumentation systems used measuring rods, thermometers and scales. Now the instrumentation system consists of individual instruments, like a pressure gauge comprising of a transducer, signal conditioner, and display panel and it may also have a line recorder to record change in pressure. Virtual instrumentation extends to control process based on data collected and processed by computerized instrumentation system. In this paper, the discussion is about how virtual instrumentation can extend the capability of existing instruments, the applications of it in real world, comparison of virtual instrumentation with traditional instrumentation, the future of virtual instrumentation and the developments that came in virtual instrumentation.

Vlsi design and fabrication
ABSTRACT
The electronics industry has achieved a phenomenal growth over the last two decades, mainly due to the rapid advances in integration technologies, large-scale systems design - in short, due to the advent of VLSI ( Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits).The microscopic dimension of current silicon–Integrated Circuitry make possible the design of digital circuits which may be very economical in space, power requirements and cost, and potentially very fast .This integration involves packing more and more logic devices in a small area basically depending on MOORE’S LAW. The combination of complexity and speed is finding ready application for VLSI systems in digital processing, and particularly in those application areas requiring sophisticated high speed digital processing.
This paper elucidates about the evolution of integrated circuits, design aspects of VLSI, its fabrication methods and testing. It also deals with the application of VLSI , besides touching up the important aspects of impediments and advancements in VLSI technology.

Quantum Computing and Communication
Quantum Computing and Communication
Abstract
During the past forty years astounding advances have been made in the manufacture of computers. The number of atoms needed to represent a bit in memory has been decreasing exponentially since 1950. Likewise the numbers of transistors per chip, clock speed, and energy dissipated per logical operation have all followed their own improving exponential trends. Despite these fantastic advances, the manner in which all computers function is essentially identical. This rate of improvement cannot be sustained much longer, at the current rate in the year 2020 one bit of information will requite only one atom to represent it. The problem is that at that level of miniaturization the behavior of the components of a computer will become dominated by the principles of quantum physics. (Williams, Clearwater)
With the size of components in classical computers shrinking to where the behavior of the components may soon be dominated more by quantum physics than classical physics researchers have begun investigating the potential of these quantum behaviors for computation. Surprisingly it seems that a computer whose components are able to function in a quantum are more powerful than any classical computer can be.
It is the physical limitations of the classical computer, and the possibilities for the quantum computer to perform certain useful tasks more rapidly than any classical computer that drive the study of quantum computing.

Cellular Internet Protocol
Cellular Internet Protocol
Abstract
This document specifies a protocol that allows routing IP datagrams to a mobile host. The protocol is intended to provide local mobility and handoff support. It can interwork with Mobile IP [1] to provide wide area mobility support. Four fundamental design principles of the protocol are: (1) location information is stored in distributed data bases (2) location information referring to a mobile host is created and updated by regular IP datagrams originated by the said mobile host (3) location information is stored as soft state (4) location management for idle mobile hosts is separated from location management of hosts that are actively transmitting or receiving data.

Bioinformatics and Role of Software Engineers in it
Bioinformatics and Role of Software Engineers in it
Abstract
Bioinformatics is the application of computers in biological sciences. It is concerned with capturing, storing, graphically displaying, modeling and ultimately distributing biological information. It is becoming an essential tool in molecular biology as genome projects generate vast quantities of data.
The Human Genome Project has created the need for new kinds of scientific specialists who can be creative at the interface of biology and other disciplines, such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and the social sciences. As the popularity of genomic research increases, the demand for these specialists greatly exceeds the supply. In the past, the genome project has benefited immensely from the talents of non-biological scientists, and their participation in the future is likely to be even more crucial. Through this report I have tried to analyze the future requirements in development of advances technologies in this field and what role, we, as software engineers can play in development of these technologies.

Design of a Cluster Logical Volume Manager
Design of a Cluster Logical Volume Manager
Abstract:
Logical Volume Managers provide a higher level view of disk storage on a computer system than the traditional view of disks and partitions. However the functionality of the existing logical volume managers is restricted to a single machine and they cannot be easily incorporated in a cluster environment. This is because logical volume managers today do not support distributed updates and locking on metadata. I propose a design of a Cluster Logical Volume Manager which incorporates a distributed locking mechanism on metadata to enforce a single node exclusive access to cluster metadata. The design can be incorporated in practically all the logical volume managers available today. As a case study, I have proposed a design for the Cluster Logical Volume Manager, which enhances the Linux Logical Volume Manager to function in a cluster. The design incorporates a cluster lock manager in the architecture, which ensures that the metadata operations are handled very carefully ensuring stability of the cluster data.

A Study of Consistency Mechanisms in Distributed Systems; with a comparison between Distributed Lock Managers and Leases
A Study of Consistency Mechanisms in Distributed Systems; with a comparison between Distributed Lock Managers and Leases
Abstract
Current trends in computing technologies are drifting towards distributed and parallel computing. These topologies emphasize on concurrent access schemes. Because of distributed computing, the use of shared resources like databases, memory, etc. is growing. Locking mechanisms can be used effectively to achieve high concurrency levels without corrupting the resources. There are a wide range of synchronization protocols, some providing strong consistency while others granting weak consistency. There is a trade-off between complexity and the level of consistency offered by these locking mechanisms. In this report I describe two locking mechanisms appropriate for the consistency requirements of distributed computing environments, viz. Distributed Lock Managers (DLM’s) and Leases. Distributed lock managers leverage conventional client-server locking mechanisms to adapt them to distributed backgrounds. They present strong consistency but are complex in implementation. Leases are time-based protocols and are a hybrid version of server-based and client-based locking strategies. I have compared these two approaches and proposed suitable use cases for these architectures.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol
Stream Control Transmission Protocol
INTRODUCTION
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [1] is a new IP transport protocol, existing at an equivalent level as UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol),[2] which currently provide transport layer functions to all of the main Internet applications. UDP, RTP, TCP, and SCTP are currently the IETF standards-track transport-layer protocols. Each protocol has a domain of applicability and services it provides, albeit with some overlaps.
Like TCP, SCTP provides a reliable transport service, ensuring that data is transported across the network without error and in sequence. Like TCP, SCTP is a connection-oriented mechanism, meaning that a relationship is created between the endpoints of an SCTP session prior to data being transmitted, and this relationship is maintained until all data transmission has been successfully completed.
Unlike TCP, SCTP provides a number of functions that are considered critical for signaling transport, and which at the same time can provide transport benefits to other applications requiring additional performance and reliability.
By clarifying the situations where the functionality of these protocols is applicable, this document can guide implementers and protocol designers in selecting which protocol to use.
Special attention is given to services SCTP provides which would make a decision to use SCTP the right one.

XML-Based Servers- Communicating meaningful information over the Web using XML
XML-Based Servers- Communicating meaningful information over the Web using XML
Abstract
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the latest buzzword on the Internet, but it is also a rapidly growing and maturing technology with real world applications, particularly for management, display, and the organization of data. It is primarily a technology concerned with the description and structuring of data.
The idea of a universal data format is not new. An early attempt to combine a universally acceptable data format with rich information storage capabilities was SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language). The best known application of SGML is HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). The idea was that any HTML document (or web page) would be presentable in any application that was capable of understanding HTML (termed the Web Browser).
Unfortunately, SGML is such a complicated language that it is not well suited to data interchange over the Web. HTML too is limited in its scope, in that it is intended for displaying documents in a browser only. Thus to adapt SGML to provide facilities to describe some kinds of specialized information, XML was developed. Thus XML is actually a subset of SGML and fully compatible with it.
It is important to note however that XML is not really a language at all, but a standard for creating languages that meet the XML criteria. It thus describes a syntax that you would use to create your own languages. XML can be viewed in an IE5 web browser since IE5 contains a default built in style sheet that enables us to view XML documents in a web browser.
XML is very flexible. Hence it is targeted to be the basis for defining data exchange languages, especially for communication over the Internet. It makes it very easy to work with data within applications but it also makes it easy to share this information with others. The coming chapters will highlight some factors about the use of XML in real world applications, as well as the reason why it is becoming the lingua franca for database applications.

The idea was that any HTML document (or web page) would be presentable in any application that was capable of understanding HTML (termed the Web Browser).
Unfortunately, SGML is such a complicated language that it is not well suited to data interchange over the Web. HTML too is limited in its scope, in that it is intended for displaying documents in a browser only. Thus to adapt SGML to provide facilities to describe some kinds of specialized information, XML was developed. Thus XML is actually a subset of SGML and fully compatible with it.
It is important to note however that XML is not really a language at all, but a standard for creating languages that meet the XML criteria. It thus describes a syntax that you would use to create your own languages. XML can be viewed in an IE5 web browser since IE5 contains a default built in style sheet that enables us to view XML documents in a web browser.
XML is very flexible. Hence it is targeted to be the basis for defining data exchange languages, especially for communication over the Internet. It makes it very easy to work with data within applications but it also makes it easy to share this information with others. The coming chapters will highlight some factors about the use of XML in real world applications, as well as the reason why it is becoming the lingua franca for database applications.
ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR AD HOC WIRELESS LANS
ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR AD HOC WIRELESS LANS
ABSTRACT
The idea of forming an ad hoc on-the-fly network of mobile devices opens up an exciting new world of possibilities. Because ad-hoc networks do not need any pre-existing infrastructure, they can solve many interesting problems of spontaneous link establishment, i.e. communication on the fly. In this case, ad-hoc networks have a clear advantage over the classic, wire-bound connections.
An ad-hoc mobile network is a collection of mobile nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used to discover routes between nodes. The primary goal of such an ad-hoc network routing protocol is correct and efficient route establishment between a pair of nodes so that messages may be delivered in a timely manner. Route construction should be done with a minimum of overhead and bandwidth consumption.
This report examines firstly the mathematical dynamism of such ad hoc networks, which spawns the need for a different approach towards routing. Then it goes on to explain various routing protocols for ad-hoc networks and evaluates these protocols based on a given set of parameters. The paper provides an overview of various protocols by presenting their characteristics and functionality, and then provides a comparison and discussion of their respective merits and drawbacks.

UBIQUITOUS NETWORKS
UBIQUITOUS NETWORKS
1.Introduction
1.1 What is Ubiquity?
Ubiquity means “Anytime, anywhere”. It is total mobility. One can use this ubiquity in technical aspects, say computing. While concerning computing we have to consider networking area. With the help of ubiquity life is going to be very much easier than before and much more comfortable. We can say that concept of using ubiquity in the computing world, beyond the desktop is going to be a new paradigm in the Information Technology.
1.2 The power of ubiquitous computing
Computers in the workplace can be as effortless, and ubiquitous, as that. Long-term the PC and workstation will wither because computing access will be everywhere: in the walls, on wrists, and in "scrap computers" (like scrap paper) lying about to be grabbed as needed. This is called "ubiquitous computing", or "ubicomp". Ubiquitous computing has as its goal the enhancing computer use by making many computers available throughout the physical environment, but making them effectively invisible to the user. A number of researchers around the world have worked in the ubiquitous computing framework. Their work had impacted all areas of computer science, including hardware components (e.g. chips), network protocols, interaction substrates (e.g. software for screens and pens), applications, privacy, and computational methods.
Ubiquitous computing is not virtual reality, it is not a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) such as Apple's Newton, it is not a personal or intimate computer with agents doing your bidding. Unlike virtual reality, ubiquitous computing endeavors to integrate information displays into the everyday physical world. It considers the nuances of the real world to be wonderful, and aims only to augment them. Unlike PDA's, ubiquitous computing envisions a world of fully connected devices, with cheap wireless networks everywhere; unlike PDA's, it postulates that you need not carry anything with you, since information will be accessible everywhere. Unlike the intimate agent computer that responds to one's voice and is a personal friend and assistant, ubiquitous computing envisions computation primarily in the background where it may not even be noticed. Whereas the intimate computer does your bidding, the ubiquitous computer leaves you feeling as though you did it yourself.
Because ubiquitous computing envisions hundreds of wireless computers in every office, its need for wireless bandwidth was prodigious. For instance, in a not-very-large building with 300 other people. If each had 100 wireless devices in offices, each demanding 256kbits/sec, using 7.5 gigabits of aggregate bandwidth in a single building. A second challenge of the mobile infrastructure was handling mobility. Networking developed over the past twenty years with the assumption that a machine's name, and its network address, were unvarying. However, once a computer can move from network to network this assumption was false. Existing protocols such as TCP/IP and OSI were unprepared for to handle machine mobility without change. A number of committees and researchers worked on methods of augmenting or replacing existing protocols to handle mobility. Third challenge of the mobile infrastructure was window systems.
Most window systems, such as those for the Macintosh and for DOS, were not able to open remote windows over a network. Even window systems designed for networking, such as X, had built into them assumptions about the mobility of people. The X window system protocol, for instance, made it very difficult to migrate the window of a running application from one screen to another, although this was just what a person traveling from their office to a meeting might want. Ubiquitous computing, whereby Internet appliances automatically satisfy almost any need could improve the way companies conduct business. Corporations could use it to automate their flow of information and dynamically adjust operations to fit the environment. "Today networking is not at all transparent," Ubiquitous networking will allow connectivity to corporate applications anywhere, anytime. Employees will be able to retrieve and send information easily from their cars, mobile devices, and homes as well as from their offices. Creating an architecture methodology provides the key to developing these new solutions.

Crumple Zones in Automobile Vehicles
Crumple Zones in Automobile Vehicles
INTRODUCTION :
The optimization of automotive vehicles structure in order to improve the passenger safety ahs long been a priority in vehicle design. Vehicle crash is dynamic phenomenon featuring a complex interaction between structural and inertial behavior. In crash events, automotive structures are subjected to loading of high intensities, which includes transient deformations ranging from small deformation and small strain to large plastic permanent deformation with large strain.
In typical collision, it is the outer envelope, which experiences the impact and undergoes deformation locally in the impact region. The occupants only later experience the impact. Thus one can define the encounter of the outer envelope of an automotive vehicle with an external object at the first collision and the subsequent collision undergone by the occupants within the passenger compartments as the second collision. Obviously the severity of the second collision involving occupant motion is of the primary concern in occupant protection from injuries and collisions , in general severity of second collision is strongly related to first collision.
Therefore it has been desirable situation to design an automotive vehicle in such a way that during collision some portion of structure will be designed as energy absorbing zones to absorb the impact kinetic energy in predictable manner, while the passenger compartment retains it rigidity, as much as possible to reduce intrusion into areas occupied by vehicle occupant. These energy-absorbing zones are called crumple zones. Crumple zone analysis focuses on the prediction of large deformation of automotive structure subjected to collision.

Oil Consumption & Oil Service Intervals For I.C. Engines
Oil Consumption & Oil Service Intervals For I.C. Engines
INTRODUCTION
The need for lubricating oil in a combustion engine is as great as the need for fuel for normal function. Therefore, to prevent the inefficient use of natural resources and to reduce pollutant emissions, it is equally necessary to reduce the amount of oil consume by engine. For passenger cars this can be done by targeting improvement in oil consumption through further developments in existing engines and improvements in new engine designs.
This seminar looks at the ways in which an engine can be optimized in order to :
* Reduce the amount of fresh oil needed for top up between oil service intervals, by reducing actual oil consumption,
* Increasing the length of time between oil changes.

ROBOT WELDING TECHNOLOGY
ROBOT WELDING TECHNOLOGY
ABSTRACT
Welding is manufacturing process in which to pieces of metal are joined by usually by heating them until molten and fused and by applying pressure. Welding operations performed by robot vastly. Welding of two types on e is arc welding and another spot welding.
In arc welding two metals are joined along its continuous path. An electric arc is generated there.
Spot welding is the largest application for industrial robots in US, accounting for about for 35 percent of installed robots. Welding robots typically use point-to-point programming to maneuver a welding gun. Robots weld more consistently faster and with higher quality than humans.

Air Suspension System
Air Suspension System
The automobile chassis is mounted on the axles, not direct but through some form of springs. This is done to isolate the vehicle body from the road shocks which may be in the form of bounce, pitch, roll or sway. These tendencies give rise to an uncomfortable ride and also cause additional stress in the automobile frame and body. All the parts which perform the function of isolating the automobile from the road shocks are collectively called a suspension system. It includes the springing device used and various mountings for the same.
1.1 Objective of Suspension System
The following are the objectives of suspension system,
• To safeguard the occupants against road shocks and provides riding comfort.
• To isolate the structure of vehicle from shock loading and vibration due to irregularities of road surface without affecting its stability.
• To minimise the rolling and pitching tendency.
• To keep vehicle body in perfect level while travelling over rough roads.
• To support the weight of the vehicle.
1.2 Basic Suspension movements
• Bouncing – The complete body movement in the vertical direction on rising up and down of vehicle body known as ‘Bouncing’.
• Pitching – The rotating action produced in a vehicle about a transverse axis through it parallel to ground known as ‘Pitching’. It is due to out of phase movement of front suspension with respect to rear suspension causing rotating effect in the vehicle.
• Rolling – The centre of gravity of the vehicles is considerably above the ground. Due to this reason, while taking the turns, the centrifugal force acts outwards, on the C.G. of vehicle, while the road resistance acts inward, at the wheels. This gives rise to a couple turning the vehicle about a longitudinal axis. This is called rolling.

STEER-BY-WIRE CONTROL SYSTEM
STEER-BY-WIRE CONTROL SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
There is a visible trend in the automobile industry for an increasing number of electronic systems in vehicles directly responsible for active and passive driving support. These applications will greatly increase overall vehicle handling and safety by assisting the driver in critical situations.
In steer by wire systems, the costly hydraulically assisted mechanical packages that actuate and assist steering are replaced by electronic and electrical packages. Electronic and optical data buses replace the bundles of wires that sit behind the instrument panel. However, for implementing this system the following systems have to be developed first.
At the moment, a radical change in steering technology becomes evident all over the world. The long lasting obvious dominance of hydraulic systems in passenger vehicles is now seriously being questioned. More and more automakers are planning to use electronically controlled steering systems for the next vehicle generation. By 2005 in Western Europe, presumably 40 – 50 % of new vehicles will go into series production equipped with such a system.
There are multiple reasons for electrically controlled steering systems in passenger cars, since both environmental and financial advantages are obvious.
One of the main issues is fuel economy, along with a reduction of toxic emission, due to use of electrical steering. In a conventional hydraulic system, the permanent oil rotation results in mechanical and hydraulic friction losses. According to the distance traveled, a medium sized vehicle will have a share of approximately 0.3 – 0.4 additional liters per 100 Km fuel consumption. Apart from a minute, negligible standby current electrical energy from the on board system only when mechanical steering work has to be done.
Use of the respective hydraulic pumps, nowadays relevant for any engine variant can be dropped, such as belt, oil-reservoir and pipe arrangements.

HYBRID VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY
HYBRID VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY
ABSTRACT
In the 21st century, better fuel economy and achieving tighter emission norms are bound to be the main areas of growth in Automotive Technology. Hybrid vehicle strikes the perfect balance between these objectives. The heat engine-electric hybrid vehicle, first conceived as long ago as 1900, is intended to overcome the limited range and long recharge time of pure electric vehicle that relies for its energy source only on its battery. It usually achieves this desirable objective by combining electric drive with a conventional heat engine using fossil fuel energy source.
The International Electrotechnical Commission defines a hybrid vehicle as one in which propulsion energy, during specified operational missions, is available from two or more kinds or types of energy stores, sources, or converters. At least one store or converter must be on-board. A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a hybrid vehicle in which at least one of the energy stores, sources, or converters can deliver electric energy.

Cavitation
Cavitation
Abstract
Cavitation may be defined, as a hydrodynamic phenomenon resulting in the formation of vapour bubbles or pockets in a liquid when it is subjected to reduced pressure at constant ambient temperatures. In general a liquid is set to cavitate when vapour bubbles are observed to form and grow because of pressure reduction. When the phase transition is a result of pressure change ,by hydrodynamic means a two phase flow composed of liquid and its vapour forms which is called cavitating flow .In all common situation cavitation first appears when the pressure is low enough to unbalance the equilibrium of minute volumes or nuclei of un dissolved gas or free vapour which are trapped on entrained foreign matter or in the containing walls of a liquid. The result is transit un steady phenomenon characterized by a growth of holes or cavities
From a purely physiochemical point of view, cavitation inception in a flowing liquid may be said to be local boiling at essentially constant temperature. However, cavitation is hydrodynamic while boiling is thermodynamic

Integrated Control Between Active Suspention and 4 Wheel Steering System
Integrated Control Between Active Suspention and 4 Wheel Steering System
INTRODUCTION
FEW YEARS HAVE PASSED since the electronic control suspension to improve both the stability and ride comfort, was introduced. The electronic control suspension has been continuously produced since then. The active suspension has been studied since earlier times than the semi-active suspension. However, the active suspension system has not actually been used for cars until early 1987, when it was used for Formula-1 racing cars, and that too for a short time. And then later during the same year, when the system was used to actively control only the attitude using pneumatic pressure as a power source. Meanwhile, for application of electronic control technique to steering system, the speed sensitive type electronic control power steering was introduced way back in 1974. Further, the system to electronically control the steering characteristics of rear wheels was introduced in 1985.
Though the possibility of 4 wheel steering system (4WS) has been discussed since the 1960’s, it was mounted on passenger cars in the year 1987. Even though, the mentioned system have independently been developed and produced, the possibility of the so called integrated control system made by integrating these systems has only been discussed.
NEED FOR THE INTEGRATED SYSTEM
The active control suspension makes it possible to control the vertical moving performance including the control of attitude, ride comfort, stability and vehicle height, and partially control the lateral and longitudinal maneuverability.
Also, 4WS makes it possible to improve stability and controllability, which
are the lateral maneuverability. Each of these systems greatly improves performances and greatly influences performances other than the intended ones. This is because the functions of vehicle dynamics such as driving, braking, turning and vertical movement are closely related to each other through the road contact force of tires which are the sole contact point between a vehicle and ground surface.
As the improvement effect of more performances is expected by increasing each control system gain, the effect other than the desired ones or the influence on other systems cannot be ignored.

INTERNAL HIGH PRESSURE HYDROFORMING
INTERNAL HIGH PRESSURE HYDROFORMING
INTRODUCTION
As the worldwide automotive industry continues to undergo major restructuring design to slash cost, reduce weight, improve fuel consumption and generally enhance automotive performance it has turned to several new technologies. To improve efficiencies one such technology that has emerged as the rising star of the automotive stamping industry is INTERNAL HIGH PRESSURE HYDROFORMING. The promise of better part made cheaper makes a compelling introduction of this new process that is relatively young to metal forming industry. Ford, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, General Motors, Tower, Magna are just of few high profile automakers and suppliers moving quickly to integrate the process.
One of such example is a new light weight body concept. The space frame technology is an answer for light weight design that use aluminium as profile extrusion, casted knots and blanks. Automated assembly of body structure longs for small tolerance. Therefore the use straight and bend profile are often calibrated by high internal pressure to meet the specification. On the other hand the Ultra Light Steel Auto Body (ULSAB) study shows that essential weight saving can be reached by the use of new steel material and new production technology like hydroforming and laser welding. Although the intensive use of hydroformed components did not meet the requirement because of well known assembly problem. The ULSAB body contains two hydroformed rails. These two examples shows that the hydroforming role in the realization of light weight design.
Tubular hydroforming of autoparts dates back to mid 1960’s. One of the first tubular hydroforming press was built in Germany in1965. However it is only since the early 1990’s with the advance in hydraulics and process controls that hydroforming has been used for volume production with the emergence of increase in number of applications.
Besides this automotive sector the aircraft industry, sanitary and plumbing industry, chemical processing plants, furniture and bicycle builders and other have much to gain in this technology.
INTRODUCTION
As the worldwide automotive industry continues to undergo major restructuring design to slash cost, reduce weight, improve fuel consumption and generally enhance automotive performance it has turned to several new technologies. To improve efficiencies one such technology that has emerged as the rising star of the automotive stamping industry is INTERNAL HIGH PRESSURE HYDROFORMING. The promise of better part made cheaper makes a compelling introduction of this new process that is relatively young to metal forming industry. Ford, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, General Motors, Tower, Magna are just of few high profile automakers and suppliers moving quickly to integrate the process.
One of such example is a new light weight body concept. The space frame technology is an answer for light weight design that use aluminium as profile extrusion, casted knots and blanks. Automated assembly of body structure longs for small tolerance. Therefore the use straight and bend profile are often calibrated by high internal pressure to meet the specification. On the other hand the Ultra Light Steel Auto Body (ULSAB) study shows that essential weight saving can be reached by the use of new steel material and new production technology like hydroforming and laser welding. Although the intensive use of hydroformed components did not meet the requirement because of well known assembly problem. The ULSAB body contains two hydroformed rails. These two examples shows that the hydroforming role in the realization of light weight design.
