Neuroprosthetics

Neuro-prosthetics,it's far generally the study and improvement of biomedical gadgets that replaces or improves the characteristic of damaged neuromuscular organ structures. Decades of technological trends have populated the sector of neuro-prosthetics with myriad alternative strategies, neuromodulation treatment options, and rehabilitation tactics to enhance the satisfactory of existence for people with neuromotor disorders. In spite of the few but impressive medical successes, and a couple of breakthroughs in animal models, neuroprosthetic technologies remain specially limited to sophisticated laboratory environments. We summarize the core ideas and modern-day achievements in neuroprosthetics, however additionally cope with the challenges that lie alongside the direction toward clinical fruition. We advocate a pragmatic framework to personalize neurotechnologies and rehabilitation for affected person-specific impairments to achieve the timely dissemination of neuroprosthetic medicine They restore normal body processes, create or improve function, or reduce pain. Cochlear prostheses , mechanisms for bladder and bowel control, deep brain stimulation using electrodes, and devices that restore the mobility and respiration of paralyzed individuals are the examples of neuroprosthetic devices. Cochlear prostheses are the most widely used neuro-prosthetics devices. Neuroprosthetics combines neuroscience and biomedical engineering. It has become an area of intense clinical and scientific interest. In most of the neuro-prosthetics devices biosensors are employed to detect signals from the user’s nervous or muscular systems. This information is forwarded to a controller located inside the device. Examples include needle electrodes implanted in muscle, wires that hit upon electrical hobby on the pores and skin, or solid-state electrode arrays with nerves growing via them. The person’s nerve and the muscular structures are connected to the controller. purpose instructions are sent from the user to the actuators of the tool. after which it interprets comments from the mechanical biosensors to the person. Also for the monitoring and manipulate of the movements of the device the controller is accountable

Modification of Current Weather Indicating System used at Airports

The measurements of temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and wind direction remotely by using the sensors is not only important in weather monitoring but also crucial for many other applications like Airports and industrial processes . India Meteorological Department (IMD) collects, processes, archives and disseminates a wide range of weather and other environmental data generated by the department’s observational network. With the installation of CURRENT WEATHER INDICATING SYSTEM (CWIS) in the National Data Centre located at Pune, the data acquisition and processing operations have been automated. A modified version for real time weather monitoring is presented in this project to monitor the real time temperature, relative atmospheric pressure ,wind speed and wind direction using different sensors which is used at airports. All the sensors mounted at a specific location near the runway of airports measure the required parameters and transmit the same using Wi-Fi transmitter to the airport tower. The device has many advantages compared to other weather monitoring systems in terms of its smaller size, on-device display, low cost, portable and robust. This system provides a set of tools and procedures that allow all data relevant to climate studies to be properly stored and managed. It serves the main objectives of climate data collection, storage ,quality control, easy access, data protection, climate data analysis and customized product generation

Effect of dietary inclusion of soybean seed remnants on performance of growing goats

A 90 days experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding soybean seed remnants (SSR) into the concentrate mixture on performance of growing Berari goats. Eighteen goats of similar age (4–6 months) and body weight (11.40 ± 0.59 kg) were randomly assigned to three dietary groups (n=6): SSR0, SSR20 and SSR30 containing 0, 20 and 30% levels of SSR in concentrate respectively on DM basis. The fortnightly dry matter intake (DMI) and body weight (BW) changes showed no significant difference among groups. Ether extract (EE) digestibility was significantly higher in SSR20 and SSR30 groups. Feed conversion efficiency (FCE) was significantly improved in SSR30 at day 60, while average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and DM intake remained unaffected. Body condition score (BCS) was significantly improved at days 60 and 90. At day 90, packed cell volume (PCV), serum albumin, glucose, and globulin levels were significantly higher in SSR-supplemented groups. Rumen pH, titratable acidity, total volatile fatty acids (TVFA), and ammonia-N levels remained comparable. The total cost of production decreased linearly with increasing SSR inclusion level. The cost of total mixed ration (Rs/kg) decreased with increasing SSR levels, being lowest in SSR30 (Rs 16.58). Thus it is concluded that the partial inclusion of soybean seed remnants in the concentrate mixture of growing goats up to 30% on dry matter basis can be a possible strategy to improve the energy density of diet and economics of goat production

Design of Combined Braking System

The current tendencies in automotive industry need intensive investigation in problems of interaction of active safety systems with brake system equipment. Many applications need different types of brakes. One such is eddy current. It’s difficult to stop the motion of the high RPM machine using one such system only. Conventional disc brakes suffer from problems like wear of disc, fading of brakes etc. One the other hand implementing eddy current system on conventional systems is not easy and also it takes much time to stop the rotating wheel. This paper focuses on the design of the Combined Braking System for high RPM machines which overcomes the disadvantage of both braking system and increases reliability. This system not only reduces braking effort but also increases the life of the braking system with less maintenance. The model is designed taken into the optimization and factor of safety. Use of this system will be user friendly and its manufacturing is feasible
