FOREWORD
Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST) was founded in the year 1975 with a view to
utilize the scientific and technical expertise of a large number of Scientists, Technologists and Engineers in the
State to alleviate prevailing poverty, improve the living standards of people and to reduce differentiation through
S & T intervention. Housing, Energy, Environment, Water and Waste Management are some of the sectors that
were identified by KSCST for improved and efficient management through S and T intervention.
Some of the success stories arising from the activities of the Council include: design of novel biogas
plants, solar collectors, solar pond, gasifiers, design of high efficiency cooking stove (ASTRA Ole), setting up of
rural energy centres and innovative use of sisal plant. Recent major initiatives of KSCST for societal benefits
include Rain Water Harvesting, Karnataka State Spatial Data Infrastructure and Waste Management.
Apart from playing a catalytic role in the implementation of sustainable technologies to society-centric
problems/ issues, KSCST has also been promoting research, development and innovation in universities.
Innovation and technology are needed to transform our nation from reliance on the exploitation of natural
resources to technological innovation as basis for sustainable and all inclusive development. Recognising this
need, KSCST initiated Student Projects Programme, popularly known as SPP as early as 1977. The main
purpose of this programme is to bring out hidden talent and innovative spirit burning in the minds of engineers
graduating from colleges across the State. Under this programme, KSCST has been providing both technical
and financial support to projects undertaken by the final year engineering students of VTU and of other
engineering colleges. All these projects were selected and funded by KSCST after peer review by the faculty of
Indian Institute of Science. After the completion of projects, they were again evaluated by the experts. In this
series the Council has supported projects in various fields right from agricultural sciences to embedded systems
to nanotechnology. Thus KSCST has been playing crucial role in building confidence and enhancing capabilities
of engineering graduates passing out from colleges in the State.
This is the 32nd SPP Seminar in the series conducted uninterruptedly. We are very pleased that National
Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, Mangalore, an institution with a very good reputation, is
hosting this programme. We hope that this Seminar and Exhibition will inspire students to become more
innovative and build “innovative society”. We thank the Department of Science and Technology, Government of
India and Government of Karnataka for their continued support in the conduct of this programme.
Prof. M. S. Mohan Kumar Secretary, KSCST

ABOUT KSCST
Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST) was established in 1975 to play a catalytic role in promoting the application of Science and Technology in developmental processes of the state in order to benefit a large segment of people. KSCST is the first State Council to be set up in the country to fulfill the long-felt need of bringing together administrators, field level officers in various government departments, scientists and technologists in research laboratories and research institutions. The council has chosen many areas like Energy, Agriculture, Water, Housing, Health and Education for its activities. The Council has completed several projects in these areas such as Mid-day Meals for School Children, Lowcost Housing, Solar Energy Applications, Zoning Atlas, Mapping for use in district administration, Water resources development, Hand pumps for drinking water wells in villages, etc.
The objectives of the State Council are:
To identify areas for application of Science and Technology to development needs, objectives and goals for Karnataka, and in particular, to the prevailing conditions of backwardness, rural unemployment and poverty;
To advise government on the formulation of policies and measures including technical, administrative and legal devices, which will promote such applications to identified needs, objectives and goals; in particular to health, education and manpower utilisation with special emphasis on the development of human skills in the rural areas and in the slums; and which will promote the scientific management of the natural resources of the State;
To promote effective coordination and to develop and foster communication and other links between centres of scientific and technological research, Government agencies, farms and industries so that promising Research and Development work is initiated, promoted and effectively deployed in agriculture, in government and elsewhere;
To initiate, support and coordinate applied research programmes in universities and other institutions in areas identified to be specially suitable for the application of Science and Technology;
To prepare Science and Technology plans relevant to the development needs of the State;
To consider, and advise the government on such other matters as relevant to the application of Science and Technology to the problems of Karnataka State.
The Council has constantly involved several institutions and governmental agencies to identify research areas of interest in major concerns such as Housing, Energy, Water supply, Ecology and Environment, Industries and Rural employment. The Council has evolved a methodology of conducting workshops with participation by leading scientists and administrators and technocrats to identify problems faced, in the state, in each area and to formulate research projects based on these identified problems. These problems were given to different research labs for study and to evolve solutions and these have also been implemented in the fields wherever found suitable.
The Council has undertaken several path breaking programs in the area of Energy. To name a few, it has setup a rotor windmill for pumping water at Ungra, a community biogas
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 15
service unit supplying water and electricity in Pura, Energy Parks in different parts of the state, Solar water heating systems in several places. It has also set up Microhydel station at Elaneer village in Dakshina Kannada district and Vanachalu village near Mercara, which uses a modern technology of cross flow turbines.
KSCST has assisted the state in district level planning in 29 districts through setting up of Natural Resources Data Management System (NRDMS) centers in these districts. These centers use modern scientific tools like Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial data support system for use in identifying locations with problems like drinking water supply, location of hospitals, schools, etc. This helps in empowerment of local bodies of governance in optimal use of resources. Rainwater Harvesting is one of the important programme of the Council. KSCST has done lots of experimentation in treatment of municipal solid and liquid wastes and their recycling. KSCST has participated in the identification of research programmes in the area of biodiversity. KSCST is involved in identifying the problems and strategies for S&T inputs in various sectors.
One of the major activities of KSCST has been to improve the quality of education in our colleges. In view of this, Student Project Programme (SPP) was started during 1978–79 to sponsor engineering student projects and this innovative project has been playing a very important role for last three decades. Many projects deal with technologies for use in applications very relevant to the State. During the 32nd series (2008-2009) of this programme which commenced in November 2008, a total of 272 projects from 70 colleges were sponsored by the Council. Since its start in 1978, the Council, under this programme, has supported nearly 6500 projects.
The success of these activities are mainly due to excellent co-operation which the Council received from different departments of the Government and the scientific community in different research institutions of Karnataka, particularly Indian Institute of Science. The support and co-operation of many senior functionaries of the State Government like the Chief Minister, Minister for Science and Technology, Finance Minister, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj as well as the Chief Secretary, Additional Chief Secretary, Development Commissioner, Finance Secretary, Science and Technology Secretariat are extremely important in the success of these activities. The Council has completed 33 years and is looking forward for even more participation from colleges for improving the performance further.

Introduction:
Allergy and immunological disorder are identified as one of the most important health concerns of modern time. According to an estimate about 22% of the population is suffering from some form of allergic disease.
A number of biogenic or a-biogenic particles are identified as a potential source of allergens. Mold/fungal spores, pollen grains, dust mites, other plant and animal borne materials are identified as some common allergens. It is essential to have proper knowledge of allergens, their prevalence and mode of action for therapeutic or clinical management of allergy and immunological disorders.
Respiratory allergy may be more predominant than other forms of allergy because of smaller spore size of certain species of fungi capable of penetrating deep in to the bronchi. Keeping these facts in mind the present investigation was carried out in three occupational sites at Davangere.
Objectives:
1. Identification of predominant fungal spores present in different occupational sites like Poultry, food godown, hospital environment and libraries
2. Study of qualitative and quantitative analysis of the fungal spores.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 29
3. Study of these fungal spores in relation to their allergenisity on people work in these different occupational sites.
Methodology:
a. Prepared Culture plates (using PDA/SDA medium) exposed at different intervals at selected sites.
b. Exposed plates were incubated at room temperature.
c. The fungal colonies developed were identified and counted on the basis of their colony, mycelia and reproductive characters.
d. Data recorded was compiled with their variations
e. Photomicrographs of culture plates and identified different fungal spores were recorded
f. Fungal sores were identified maximum up to species level.
Results and Conclusions:
The morphological characters of predominant fungal have been studied and incorporated.
The dominant airborne fungal spore types were Aspergillus, Penicillium which accounted for 40-60% of the total fungal catch followed by Mucor and Dreschlera species.
Respiratory/allergic disorders have been correlated with the incidence of potential allergy causing fungal organisms in the library, poultry and godown environment as explained by other workers.
Scope for future work:
Characterization of fungi and bacteria as allergens responsible for the induction of seasonal allergic rhinitis and asthma and identifying the specific IgE/IgG binding protein fractions of different allergens will help in immunotherapeutic procedures.
Preparation of bacteria and fungi spore calendar and making available to the clinicians for its use in allergy diagnosis. The calendars indicate the occurrence of most predominant types of airborne bacteria and fungal spores in the atmosphere.
An attempt can be made to design a model for the forecast of bacteria and fungi and threshold value of allergenic types which will be useful to allergy patients to take precautionary measures.
3. SLOW PYROLYSIS OF KIKAR FOR GENERATION OF SOLID LIQUID AND GASEOUS FUELS
COLLEGE : BAPUJI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY. DAVANGERE GUIDES : DR. RANGASWAMY.B. E. MR. PRAVEEN KUMAR D. G. STUDENTS : DARSHAN M SOWMYA G. S. MURAIDHARA E. RASHMI D.
Introduction:
Increasing the share of renewable energy from biomass in the total energy usage in the agricultural, domestic, industrial and transportation sector is of immense importance from environmental point of view, both for developed and developing countries like India. Biomass is available from different sources such as agri- and forestry wastes, agri-industrial wastes and wood available from social forestry sector in India. Biomass can be obtained from the cultivation of short rotation trees- such as eucalyptus, pongamia pinnata, kikar (Acasia nilotica ), poplar (populus) etc., energy crops like sugar cane, agricultural crop residues like wheat straw, rice straw, etc., wastes from commercial/domestic tree plantations like coconut, palm, ground nut, etc. The total biomass availability world-over is ~ 6 Gtoe y-1 (giga tones oil equivalent) with an energy content of ~ 225 x 103 QJ y-1. Social forestry scheme in vogue in India is a very lucrative scheme for the marginal farmers as the wood trees and wood obtained from them help in augmenting their annual income and improving their living standards.
Objectives:
Characterize the kikar wood, study the effect of the final pyrolysis temperature, particle size and nitrogen gas flow rates yields of pyrolysis products such as bio-oil, gas, and char.
Characterize the pyrolysis oil (bio-oil), char and gas for their possible use as fuels or chemical feed stocks / intermediates.
Methodology:
1. The pyrolysis of Acasia nilotica sub sp. indica (kikar) wood was investigated to produce bio-oil in a fixed bed pyrolysis reactor.
2. The effect of process parameters such as pyrolysis temperature (450-700 °C), particle size (0.25-1.7 mm) and sweep gas (nitrogen) velocity (0.05-0.4 cm3 min-1) on the pyrolysis product yields and their chemical compositions were investigated.
3. The chemical characterization of the products (oil, char and gas) was carried out. The bio-oil was characterized using elemental (CHNO) analysis.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 30
4. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and 1H NMR analysis.
5. The char was characterized by proximate analysis, elemental composition, FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The H/C and O/C ratios of the chars decreased with the rise in the temperature. The gases were identified as CO2, CO, Hydrogen and C1-C4 hydrocarbons.
Results and Conclusions:
This study indicates the slow pyrolysis at different pyrolysis temperatures for a particle size range of 0.425-0.60 mm of kikar wood in a fixed-bed experimental reactor.
It was found that the yield of liquid tar is higher at 600 °C in static atmosphere.
Particle size of 0.425-0.60 mm gave a maximum yield of bio-oil as compared to the other particle size fractions.
Continuous flow of nitrogen through the bed did not increase the yield of bio-oil much.
The bio-oil was found to contain a significant amount of water (20-25%), and complex organic chemicals.
The heating value of the bio-oil was found to be low ( 12.19 MJ m-3). The char obtained had a very high heating value ( 34 MJ/kg). The gas heating value was lower ( 6.4 MJ m-3).
4. COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF POLYMERIC AND CERAMIC MEMBRANES FOR SOME BIOMOLECULAR SEPARATION APPLICATIONS
COLLEGE : BMS COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, BANGALORE GUIDE : DR. SHASHIDHAR BHAVIKATTI STUDENTS : AVANI KAMATH ARJUN BAHL
Introduction
Ultrafiltration and microfiltration are membrane separation processes used for a broad variety of applications ranging from processing of biological macromolecules to wastewater treatment. They have significant advantages over competing separation processes. Food and biotechnological applications account for nearly 40% of the current total usage of ultrafiltration membranes. Protein bioseparation is an important component of this application segment. It is used for protein concentration, desalting, clarification and fractionation (i.e. protein-protein separation). This
project was a exploratory work aimed at determining the applicability of ceramic membranes of a specific pore size for some bio molecular separation applications and comparison of the same with commercially available polymeric membranes. It involved the use of TFF Microfiltration Equipment procured by the department from Millipore India Pvt. ltd. Preliminary investigations were carried out and results established thus laying the ground work for further in-depth analysis.
Objective
This project explores the use of certain ceramic and polymeric membranes as filtration medium for a few biomolecular separation applications. Specifically, polymeric and ceramic membrane performance was compared in the filtration of juices like sugarcane and pineapple as well as in the filtration of proteins like BSA and bacterial medium.
Methodology
Standard filtration equipment supplied by Millipore was employed for the studies. It consisted of a conical flask, glass base with a side-arm, clamp, sample holder and a Vacuum pump. The experiment was carried out in several stages.
The first stage included running samples of E. Coli and BSA to find whether these samples were retained by the membranes or passed through.
After having established the size characteristics of the ceramic membranes, fruit juices of pineapple and sugarcane were passed through the membranes. The filtrate and retentate samples were then analysed further. Pineapple juice was specially chosen because its major component is the enzyme bromelain which is fast gaining importance because of its applications in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. The enzyme was characterized and pH, temperature and substrate studies were carried out.
Results and Conclusions
The results of filtration experiment with BSA samples showed that the concentration of BSA in the filtrate and retentate was equal. Thus, the sample passed through both ceramic and polymeric membranes thus indicating that the pore size of ceramic membrane was more than the size of BSA molecules (0.014 Microns), indicating the pore size of ceramic membrane synthesized lies between 0.014 micron and 0.45 microns.
Experiments on the pineapple juice samples showed that the protein (bromelain) was retained on both ceramic and polymeric membranes. Thus this ceramic membrane has a potential use in the purification step in the recovery and isolation of bromelain. The advantage of using ceramics is easier sterilisation and savings in membrane replacement costs. The ceramic membrane system offers operations at higher pressure drops, thus reducing the time used for
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 31
processing of the product, increasing the yield and providing a power-saving, cost efficient method of purification and recovery of products.
Scope for future work
Current studies were exploratory in nature and concerned with the use of membrane separation in the clarification of couple of juices, a broth and a protein sample. The same can further extended to the purification, concentration of other important compounds and solutions on membranes of different pore openings.
5. ISOLATION AND CHARCTERISATION OF TRICHODERMA INVOLVED, AND USED AS A BIOCONTROL AGENT
COLLEGE : NAGARJUNA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, BANGALORE GUIDE : DR. K. N. GEETHA PROF. SUNIL DESAI V. R. STUDENTS : MD. IRSHAD AMAN OINDRILLA ROY SANJAY KUMAR
Introduction Biological control involves the use of beneficial micro-organism to attack and control plant pathogens and the disease they cause. Biological control offers an environmentally approach to the management of plant disease and can be incorporate into cultural and physical control for an effective integrated pest management system. Trichoderma are ubiquitous fungi naturally present in the soil and are among the most common saphrophytic microorganisms that can be isolated. The Trichoderma are especially well known as early colonizers of root systems and directly promote plant growth by increasing the beneficial microbial activity in the rhizosphere, which is the intense zone of stimulated microbial activity around the roots. One of the most important functions of Trichoderma involves the mold’s tendency to develop symbiotic relationship with plants. These fungi like to grow on the roots of living plants, and they promote abundant root growth so that they have plenty of roots to grow on. Trichoderma also eliminate other fungi so that they do not have to struggle with competitors, providing a benefit to the plants they colonize. Some farmers and gardeners add Trichoderma to their soil before planting for the benefit of their plants.
Objectives Isolation of Trichoderma species Identification of a suitable trait of Trichoderma Characterization and quantitative analysis of
the selected trait Extraction and analysis of toxins
Study of Antagonistic effects of Trichoderma viride towards different pathogenic fungal species
Conducting greenhouse trials and field trails, in which Trichoderma viride formulations can be used for nursery treatment and soil treatment
Methodology In this work, isolated Trichoderma viride from air and rhizosphere region of soil. The biochemical characterization of the strain was performed, followed by the extraction and identification of toxin. Identification of toxin was done by comparing with the standard Rf values of antifungal antibiotics. The toxin was found to be gliotoxin. To find out the antagonistic effect of Trichoderma viride, the different pathogenic fungi like Fusarium and Altenaria species were transferred from the agar slant into the petri dishes containing the Czapek-Dox agar media. Filter paper discs dipped into the toxin of Trichoderma viride were placed around the test organisms. It is observed that a zone of inhibition was found around the discs.
Conclusion Trichoderma Viride was isolated by preparing the sterile Czapek-Dox and Martin Rose Bengal Agar media supplemented with Streptomycin. The spores were observed under the microscope to confirm the organism by staining with lactophenol cotton blue solution and was compared to know the characteristics through Barnett fungal identification manual. Trichoderma Viride produces a sulphur containing antibiotic known an Gliotoxin. This particular toxin was extracted and identified by the technique called as thin layer chromatography under UV light. The most important use of this species is that it can be used as a biocontrol agent as it is a nature-friendly, ecological approach to overcome the problems caused by standard chemical methods of plant protection. It helps to promote sustainable management practices, cost effective for improving crop productivity through innovative starter solution technology which reduces the chemical pesticidal applications.
6. AN INVESTIGATION INTO EFFICACY OF BIOETHANOL PRODUCTION FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES OF BIOMASS
COLLEGE : NMAM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, NITTE GUIDE : DR. C. VAMAN RAO STUDENTS : T. ANJALI K. PAI NEERAJA H. S. R. K. VIKAS PUNEETH C. A.
Introduction:
The world energy demand is increasing steadily as the human population grows and economic development progresses. The current predominant energy source is the fossil fuel, which is not going to last long. This emphasizes the need to complement fossil-fuel-based energy sources with renewable energy sources, such
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 32
as biomass. One of the alternative fuel that has very good potential as a substitute for fossil fuel is bioethanol, which is comparatively and significantly environmental friendly than fossil fuels because of low emission of carbon dioxide, zero emission of nitrogen oxides and sulfur. Therefore, presently, each and every country is looking for strategies and methods to produce bioethanol as alternative fuel in an economic manner.
The economics of the ethanol production is determined by the cost of sugar derived from cellulosic waste. In India, lignocellulosic biomass (crop residues, forestry and fruit and vegetable waste and weeds) is available in plenty, which needs to be exploited for bioethanol production.
Objectives:
To produce bioethanol from biological waste.
To tap sources for region specified bioethanol production.
To give a comparative account of amount of bioethanol produced from different sources.
Methodology:
10 g of coconut fiber, areca nut fiber, cashew apple pulp, coffee pulp and weed is treated with 300 ml of 2% (w/v) sulphuric acid at 120oC for 1.5 hrs at 15psi in the autoclave for digestion.The slurry was filtered; neutralized with calcium hydroxide until the pH of the hydrolysate reaches to 6.0. Allow the calcium sulfate to precipitate out by keeping the sample overnight at lab temperature.Total sugar in the neutralized hydrolysate was estimated by Phenol sulphuric acid method and the reducing sugar in the hydrolysate was estimated by DNSA method.Cellulose, hemilcellulose and lignin content in the raw material digested with dilute acid were estimated by the method of McMillan. Fermentation of the neutralized liquor was carried out using Chung and Lee, Chen et al., method with minor modifications. Measure the total quantity of hydrolysate and divide it into equal proportion and take not more than 300 ml in 500 ml conical flask. Inoculate the hydrolysate with yeast at a concentration of 106cells/ml or commercial bakers yeast at 2.5 g/L. Keep the flask in a shaker incubator maintained at 30oC for 48 hrs.The fermented liquor was subjected to distillation at 700c to 800c in rotary flash evaporator. Enough amount of the distillate was collected. Estimate the alcohol content in the fermented sample by specific gravity method or pycnometry.For each sample of raw materials used to extract cellulosic sugars after dilute acid pretreatment, the residue left was weighed to find the lignocellulosic mass.
Results and Conclusion:
Theoretical alcohol yield in the dry and fresh arecanut fibre, dry and fresh coconut fibre, dry and wet coffee pulp, cashew apple, cashew apple pulp, fermented cashew apple pulp and weed waste was found to be 543.43, 1772.03, 2046.23, 905.39, 452.69, 4593.15, 140.61, 2411.5, 1574.79, 3388.29, 650.75% respectively. From this study it can be concluded that the agricultural waste and natural weed waste can be a potential source of bioethanol.
The most significant aspect of the present investigation is the process adopted does not produce any harmful by-products, whereas all the by-products generated in the process have industrial applications.
For example, the calcium sulphate generated in the neutralization step, has application in cement industry and the lignin mass left over after the acid digestion will be of use as bio-adsorption filters.
7. A STUDY ON SOLID WASTE MICROFLORA AND ITS APPLICATION IN BIODEGRADATION
COLLEGE : NMAM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, NITTE GUIDE : MR. CHETAN D. STUDENTS : ANUSHA JAIN KAVITHA PURANIK LOUELLA CONCEPTA GOVEAS VARSHA
Introduction:
Solid Wastes (SW) are unwanted materials disposed off by man, which can neither flow into streams nor escape immediately into the atmosphere. Micro organisms that dwell in solid wastes are grouped under Solid Waste Microflora (SWM). The most common organisms that are generally found in solid waste are bacteria and fungi. These micro organisms use the components of the waste as the substrate for their growth and hence they have the natural catabolic ability to degrade and transform a variety of compounds. In this present study, SWM were isolated, identified and their ability was utilized for the degradation of propoxur (Baygon), a carbamate insecticide. Propoxur is a broad spectrum insecticide; used in hospitals, factories and houses for control of flies, ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches and millipedes. Its mechanism of action is by reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase enzyme.
Objectives:
Isolation and identification of solid waste microflora
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 33
Use of their degrading capacity for the degradation of biohazardous compound - propoxur
To check and compare the efficiency of the selected microflora in degrading propoxur.
Methodology:
Samples were collected from kariyakal dump yard of karkala.
Isolation of bacteria by spread plate method and fungi by blotter method.
Obtaining pure culture of the bacteria by streak plate method and fungi by spread plate method.Maintenance of pure culture by periodic subculturing.
Bacterial identification was done based on observation of colony morphology and results of staining and biochemical tests, using Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology and Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology.Staining tests performed are Gram staining, Acid fast staining and endospore staining.
Biochemical tests performed are Fermentation tests, Hydrolysis tests, IMViC tests,
Fungal identification was done based on observation of plate cultures and microscopic view of lactophenol cotton blue stained fungal smears, using Barnett’s Manual. Tests performed for fungal identification areLactophenol cotton blue staining
Biodegradation of propoxur was carried out by using a Pseudomonas species isolated from soil (Scotch Tape Method).
Results and conclusions:
Bacteria identified are Neisseria subflava, Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium kutscheri, Aeromonas species and Bacillus pasteurii.Fungi identified are Aspergillus niger, Talaromyces species, Rhizopus species and Mucor species.
Scope for future work:
The metabolite that causes inhibition of fungal metabolism can be identified.
The mechanism by which the degradation of propoxur can be studied. Since Neisseria
subflava efficiently degrades propoxur into residual phenol without any inhibition in its metabolism, it could be used to degrade propoxur at the site of pollution.
8. BIOTECHNOLOGICAL ORAL HEALTH CARE PRODUCT
COLLEGE : P. A. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, MANGALORE GUIDE : DR. KRISHNA PRASAD NOORALABETTU STUDENTS : SAHIN SAMAN BHAVANA NULLIPADY SHAHNAWAZ
Introduction
Natural Oral Health Care Products Are the Recipe for Healthy Teeth and Gums. Plant soaps, essential oils, vitamins, and herbs in natural oral health care products are often more effective in the treatment of gingivitis, in periodontal disease prevention, in dry mouth treatment, and in the everyday care of healthy teeth and gums. Natural oral health care products address the root of the problem, rather than simply the symptoms.
‘Renjeer’ (Mimusops elengi) plant called ‘Big Bakul’ in Sanskrit and clove (Syzygium aromaticum) have traditionally been used as an oral health care products in the powdered form. Hydrolytic enzymes will be incorporated in the mix because they not only clean our teeth but also improve digestion. A crude methanol extract of Syzygium aromaticum exhibited preferential growth-inhibitory activity against Gram-negative anaerobic periodontal oral pathogens, including Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia. Mimusops elengi bark possesses anti-ulcer activity which decreases gastric acid secretory activity along with strengthening of mucosal defensive mechanisms. Saponins which are natural cleansing agents were also isolated from the seeds of Mimusops elengi, in addition to two known triterpenoid saponins. If the ingredients are safe, we can consume the product without the risk of consuming dangerous substances as no harmful chemicals are used. The main aim of this project is to provide alternate safe oral health care product to consumers by adding value to the oral health care product.
Objectives
To extract the product of interest from Mimusops elengi and Syzygium aromaticum by extractive distillation and azeotropic distillation.
To determine the antimicrobial activity of these extracts on the tooth decaying microbes such as Streptococcus spp and food poisoning microbes such as Salmonella spp, Esh. Coli, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas spp.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 34
To determine the effect of these extracts on the normal probiotic microorganisms of the intestinal tract such as Lactobacillus spp.
To determine the effect solvent extracts on the enzyme activity of the hydrolytic enzymes at normal oral pH.
To determine the effect solvent extracts on the enzyme activity of the hydrolytic enzymes at acidic pH of intestinal tract.
Methodology and Results
Pulvezation o Renjeer Tree Bark and Clove : ‘Renjeer tree bark’ was collected and transported to the laboratory in an insulated container within two hours and artificially dried at 50o C for 48 hours, after evenly keeping the barks in metal trays in hot air oven.
Outer fissured layer was removed by scraping with scalpel and only inner part of artificial dried Renjeer bark was selected and cut into small chips of approximately one cubic centimeter.
These chips were ground using waring blender (Philips, India) at 21,000 rpm for 10 minutes.
Similarly sundried cloves procured locally were pulverized into fine powder using waring blender (Philips, India) at 21,000 rpm for 10 minutes.
Sterilization of Raw Material : Raw materials like Renjeer powder and clove powder were sterilized before further processing using autoclave, at 121 oC at a pressure of 15 lb in an autoclave (The ILECO, supplied by Durga Lab Pvt Ltd, Mangalore) in moist heat for 15 minutes.
Extraction of the Products: The ground clove (C) and ‘Renjeer’ plant bark (R) product powder was used for extraction of the antimicrobial products by extractive distillation and azeotropic distillation methods using round bottomed flask or Soxhlet apparatus.
Resultant extract was analyzed for the antimicrobial activity against the Streptococcus mutans and food poisoning microbes such as Salmonella typhi, Esh. Coli, Shigella flexneri, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas auregenose, as well as its effect on the probiotic microbes of intestinal tract.
Renjeer bark and clove were separately mixed with known amount of water and heated for 12
to 24 hours using round bottomed flask or Soxhlet apparatus and filtered. The extract was stored in refrigerator until further use.
Maintainance of Aseptic Condition : Aseptic conditions were maintained throughout the process. Only sterilized equipments and media were used in order to keep off the contamination. Sample preparations, plating were performed in laminar air flow filter hood. Standard laboratory practices were followed to avoid contamination risk.

COLLEGE : THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, BANGALORE GUIDES : DR. B.K.MANJUNATHA DR. KUSUM PAUL STUDENTS : CHANDHANA T GOWRI KASHYAP
Introduction
Plant tissue culture offers quick and efficient methods to exploit medicinal plants meaningfully to meet the demands of the pharmaceutical industries and reduce in situ harvesting pressure from natural forest resources. Tissue culture technology can be used to get more medicinal components without destroying the natural plants. Considering the high economical and pharmacological importance of secondary metabolites, industries are deeply interested in utilising plant tissue culture technology for large scale production of these substances.
The plant Dioscorea racemosa is known as Varahee (Sanskrit), Poterto yam (English) Heggenasu [Kannada]. The plant is used traditonally as aphrodisiac, rejuvenator, in treating bone facture, cardiac diseases, diarrhoea, desertry, jeaver, Jandies, Piler, Polyvrea, Ulcers urinary caliculli, in expelling worms (Keshawamurthi 1994). The plant is also known for its diaretic, antinflanetory activity. It is one of the major Indian medicinal plant. Used in 3 indegesous systems of medicine (Pullaiah 2002). in treating syphilis, The plant contains poisonous glucoside. (Chopra, et al., 1956).
Methodology
Healthy vegetative tubers and nodal segments of Dioscorea racemosa was collected from the in-vivo grown plant. The explants was washed under running tap water for 30min, treated with 0.1% (V/V) aqueous solution of Tween-20 (Hi-media, Mumbai) for 10 min, followed by 5 to 6 washes with distilled water. The explants was surface
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 35
disinfected with an aqueous solution of 0.1% HgCl2 for 10min. The disinfectant was removed by rinsing the material with sterilized cooled distilled water for 3 to 4 times and will be excised aseptically and were inoculated to MS (Murashige and Skoog’s, 1962) (Hi-Media) media.
MS media containing 30gm/ltr sucrose and 8gm/ltr agar were used in all the experiments. Plant growth regulators and their combinations were added to the medium as specified below. The PH of the medium was adjusted to 5.6-5.8 by 0.1N NaOH or 0.1NHCl prior to autoclaving at 121ºc at 15lbs pressure for 20 minutes. All the cultures were maintained in the culture room at 24±2ºc under 16 hour photoperiod with 15µM/m2/s illumination from cool white fluorescent tubes with 60-65% relative humidity.
For shoot bud induction nodal segments were placed on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of BAP/KN (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0µM) alone and in combination with NAA (0.5, 1.0, 1.5µM). The frequency of explants producing shoot buds and number of shoot buds shoot length etc. were recorded.
For root induction MS media was supplemented with IBA, NAA separately at different concentrations.
Each treatment consisted of 10 replicates. The number and length of shoots per explant was calculated at the end of 45 days of culture.
The results were subjected to statistical analysis using Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
Results and Conclusions:
Nodal explants inoculated on M.S. medium supplemented with various concentration of BAP ranging from 0.5 to 10 mg/lt . the study revealed that, the maximum number of multiple shoots were induced in 4 mg/ltr BAP. Within 20 days of incubation (24.5 ± 0.20).
Higher and lower concentration of BAP were noticed to inhibit in the formation of multiple shoot and the shoots so formed were short and thick under the influence of higher concentration of BAP. Several workers have also reported such thick rosette type of shoot formation in higher concontration of BAP.
Increase in the concontration of BAP resulted in decrease in the rate of shoot regeneration ability, only 2.1±0.16 number of shoots could be recorded. Inhibitory effect of higher concentration of BA on shoot formation has
also been reported in Albizia chinensis, Pterocarpus marsopium.
Multiple shoot induction is also observed from the nodal explants inoculated on MS medium supplemented with different concentration of Kinetin. Frequency, number of multiple shoots and shoot lengths were higher & medium containing 2mg/ltr Kinetin (25.7+1.30) within 12 to 15 days. Lower and higher concentration of Kinetin resulted in lesser number of shoot regeneration.
Among the two cytokinins tested for the induction of multiple shoots in the present study betters results were recorded from the nodal explants inoculated on M.S. Medium supplemented with 2mg/ltr Kinetin. Maximum number of shoots were recorded within 12-13 days with considerable elongation of shoots processing 3-4 nodes and leaves. However in case of BAP multiple shoots induced failed to elongate even after 40 days of incubation.

Introduction:
Polysaccharides of natural origin such as starch and cellulose have enormous importance in our technological word because they are readily available and posses unique features unmatched by polymer of artificial production. (Inmaculada Aranaz et al. 2009) Natural, nontoxic, biopolymer such as Chitin, poly [ß-(1-4) -2-acetamido-2-deoxy-glucopyranose] occurs in insects, crustaceans and molluscs as an important constituent of the exoskeleton and in certain fungi as the principal fibrillar polymer in the cell wall. In nature it is second in abundance to cellulose. The most important derivative of chitin is chitosan: poly [ß- (1-4)-2- amino-2-deoxy- D- glucopyranose] and is chemically or enzymatically produced by deacetylation of chitin. Commercial production of chitin and chitosan takes place from waste shells of shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters and crayfish.
Objectives:
To isolate chitin and Chitosan chemically from Hermite crab shells.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 36
To study the factors affecting its preparation such as sodium hydroxide concentrations, reaction time and temperature.
To characterize the resulting product by nitrogen percent and reaction efficiency.
To use the resulting chitosan as sorbent for the decontamination of water containing dyestuffs and to vary amount of chitosan for adsorption studies and to develop adsorption isotherms.
Methodology:
The shells are boiled with sodium hydroxide for 30 minutes. The boiled raw material is allowed to cool and it is washed with water to remove all traces of alkali and dried at 50º C in an oven for 2hours. The product thus obtained is called Chitin.
Chitin is heated at 90-95º C for about four hours with 40% caustic soda. Excess alkali is drained off and the mixture is washed with water several times till it is free from alkali. Excess water is removed and the product obtained is wet Chitosan.
The above product is dried for 2 hours at 50º C in an oven. Care should be taken not to exceed the drier temperature beyond 60º C. The shells are treated with sodium hydroxide using different concentrations at 80º C and 100º C for 2 hr.
Dyeing of chitin is achieved by varying the amount of chitin to 50 ml of dye solution in a flask and stirred until equilibrium is reached.
The dye adsorption studies were done at a pH of 6 and the percentage of decolorisation was also studied.
The solution was stirred for a period of 4 hrs and optical density of untreated effluent and treated effluent was measured by calorimeter. It is calculated by kjeldahl method or reaction efficiency.
The capability of the use of prepared chitin for serving as anion exchange from aqueous solutions was examined.
Result and Conclusions:
The nitrogen percent of the prepared samples decrease significantly as sodium hydroxide increased within the concentration range of 2- 6%. This could be interpreted in terms of greater ability of alkali to eliminate protein which accompanied with chitin chains with different bonds.
Therefore, the weight of the product was decreased at concentration 8% and 10% of sodium hydroxide. On increasing the hydroxide concentration more than 4%, the nitrogen percent was not affected but the product obtained was decreased due to partially deacetylation of acetamide group of carbon two in pyranose ring.
The results showed that the optimum concentration of Sodium Hydroxide was 6% at 80º C and 100º C for 2 hours. The results signify that the nitrogen percent of the prepared samples decreased with increasing reaction duration and temperature, upto 110º C for 4 hours though there is a tendency for the reaction to level off after 4 hours at 100º C.
The results signify also that the Nitrogen percent is not significantly decreased by increasing reaction temperature more than 100º C and reaction time more than 4hours.
Scope for future work:
Further studies on rheology and determination of molecular weight of chitosan and Degree of acetylation which has a direct relation on the applications in drug delivery studies need to be investigated. The effect of acidic and basic dyes on adsorption of chitosan and its comparison needs to be elaborated.

COLLEGE : BAPUJI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, DAVANGERE GUIDES : SRI. M.MUDDU SMT. M. MAMATHA STUDENTS : KRUTHI M. N. SUMITHA K. AMSHU V.
Introduction:
The fixed bed catalytic reactor is defined as the one in which reactant fluid contacts with solid catalysts arranged in fixed bed. It generally experience temperature peaks known as ‘hot spots” with exothermic reactions. The magnitude of the “hot spot” depends on the heat effect of the reaction, Heat transfer coefficient and Area available for the transfer of heat etc. To understand the temperature profile (Hotspot) within the reactor and its sensitivity to other process variables like Inlet feed concentration and coolant flow rate it is essential to develop a Mathematical model. In this direction, to understand
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 37
the characteristics of highly exothermic reactions carried out in fixed bed reactor, a pseudo one dimensional homogenous model is developed for oxidation of O-Xylene to Pthalic Anhydride in the presence of V2O5 catalyst in fixed bed reactor.
Objectives
A One dimensional pseudo homogeneous model is developed for an oxidation of O-Xylene to Pthalic Anhydride in a fixed bed reactor.
Steady state simulation is carried out to predict the movement of hotspot with in the reactor.
To understand the transient behavior of the reactor the model equations are solved using finite difference method.
All the simulation is carried out in MATLAB package
Methodology: Mathematical Modeling Of Fixed Bed Catalytic Reactor: This reaction predominantly occurs in the interface between the fluid and the solid. In the fixed bed catalytic reactor, the system considered is the oxidation of O-Xylene to Pthalic anhydride on
catalyst . This reaction is highly exothermic
[∆Hr= 307000 kJ/kmol]. This strongly exothermic reaction is carried out in multi tubular reactors cooled by molten salt that is circulated around the tube. The reactor consists of 2500 tubes of 3m height and 2.54cm internal diameter. The catalyst pellets have a diameter of 3mm and bulk density of 1300kg/m3. The porosity of the bed is 0.476; the operating pressure is taken as atmospheric. The fluid taken in the reactor is gaseous mixture of O-Xylene and air. The concentration is kept below 1% in order to stay under explosion limits.
In this work a simple one-dimensional pseudo homogeneous equation is used to study the unsteady state characteristics of fixed bed catalytic reactor.
Results and conclusions:
The present work deals with the dynamic modeling and simulation of fixed bed catalytic reactor. The reaction system chosen for the study is oxidation of O-Xylene to Phthalic Anhydride on v2o5 catalyst reported by G.Fromentt (1967). One dimensional pseudo homogeneous model is used to describe the steady state characteristics of fixed bed reactor. The dynamic and steady state model equations are solved using a IV order Runge-kutta method and
simulation results are prepared. The steady state temperature profiles are shown in figures (1 and 2).
Fig 1: Steady state profile of the reactor for different value of inlet feed concentration and fixed value heat
transfer coefficient = 0.12 w/m2 K
Figure 2. Dynamic response of reactor for step change in the feed concentration at 20th sampling instant from
0.013 to 0.015 (Variation of Hot spot Temperature) And the dynamic temperature profiles indicate that beyond critical value of inlet feed concentration, the “hot-spot” temperature values undergoes a large rise in magnitude even for a very small increase in feed concentration. This critical value of the feed concentration depends upon the values of overall heat transfer co-efficient. Larger the overall heat transfer co-efficient; larger is the critical feed concentration. Where the feed concentration crosses this critical limit, the “hot-spot” temperature will rise to a higher value and the condition is known as “runaway” condition. Dynamic profile for step changes clearly indicates that its response behave like under damped system. The sharp rise in the “hot-spot” temperature can be decreased by increasing the overall heat transfer co-efficient. SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORK The system considered here is one-dimensional,
radial gradients can also be considered.

12. AGGLOMERATION OF IRON ORE DUST FINES USING WASTE CALCIA AND FLY ASH DUST FINES
COLLEGE : DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, BANGALORE GUIDE : PROF. D. C. SIKDAR STUDENTS : PAVAN REDDY K. P. SYED AAMIR MOHAMMED KETAN V. R.
Introduction
Haematite and magnetite are the most prominent source of iron ores available in India. About 60% of hematite ores are available in eastern part of India and 80% of magnetite ores are found in Karnataka region. Most important magnetite ores occur in Bababudangiri, Kudremukh, Bellary, etc.
In Bellary-Hospet region the production of iron ore fines from private mines in substantial and fines are unwashed. The fines from Bellary Hospet region generally have 63-64% Fe content of 100 mesh fractions.
Basically in the process of iron ore extraction, the lumps are utilized and all the dust fines are not utilized. The dust fines causes pollution and clog the furnaces exhaust.
So Pelletisation has to be carried out for the recovery of iron present in the fines. For obtaining required strength of the pellets, various combinations of the binders have to be added in different proportions to the iron ore fines.
Objective
To devise a pelletisation process of iron ore dust fines to facilitate extraction of iron.
Methodology
A mixture of fines in overflow and underflow of particles of 200 mesh no. is taken in 70:30 ratios. It was found that this mixture contained maximum density among all other ratios. This fine sample of 100g is weighed. Various combinations of the binders like bentonite, calcium carbonate, Fly ash, RHA, Cement are varied according the specific sample prepared. Exact quantity of water was obtained by trial and error method. To these individual mixtures 12 ml of water was added as that was the optimum quantity.
The mixture of ore fines, binder and water is blend together manually. After proportionate mixing of the components it’s taken for the process of hammering in a hand mould made of mild steel using a jack hammer.
Each mixture of a particular combination would have enough samples for three pellets to be made out of it. This is done as a precautionary measure so as to recover any loss of pellets in later stages of the project. All the three pellets are subjected to strength analysis and the average value of the cold crushing strength of the sample is taken.
Results and Conclusions
Iron ore sample along with 3% bentonite and 15% cement proved to be the best binder. Its exhibited a strength of 619.98 kgf / pellet.
Iron ore sample along with 3% bentonite jproved to be the second best binder. IT exhibited a strength of 367.10 kgf / pellet.
Even when calcia and fly ash was used as a binder, a reasonable amount of strength in the range of 200 – 300 kgf/pellet is obtained.
This work has given a thrust to use fly ash waste and calcia waste as it is available in abundance in India.
Any one of these combinations can be used based on the dead weight of the heap of pellets before they are fed to the blast furnace.
Future Scope
The pellets can be heat treated to get more strength.
The strength can also be increased by varying the sintering time.

Medical wastes from not only pose a risk to human lives but also to the environment and animal life. Though treatment and medical waste removal does reduce the risks, indirect health risks may occur through the release of toxic pollutants or through treatment or disposal of waste. Given this scenario, the three R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle seems to be a solution for managing medical wastes. And for the
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 39
most part a winning formula too.The needles and plastics are segregated and mixed with mortar according to aspect ratio, thus acting as fiber reinforced concrete compressibility test and water absorption test is carried out and compared with standard blocks which do not contain any fiber. The report gives an overview of medical waste management carried out in hospitals and how reutilization of waste is done.
Objectives:
Reduction of medical waste.
Increase in strength of cement block.
Reduction in water absorption of cement block.
Reduction in environmental pollution.
Methodology:
Waste syringes are collected from hospitals and disinfected by soaking in to 2% sodium hypochlorite solution for 1 hour.
Metal part of syringe is separated from plastic using cutting pliers.
Prepare 1:2 (cement: sand) cement mortars.Assume water/ cement= 0.35. Cement shrinks in the volume when it is mixed with water. Hence the quantity of dry mix of cement and sand will be higher by 50 to 60 %.
Mono fiber cubes,Bi fiber cubes were moulded. These molded cubes are kept under water for 28 days, then the tests are carried out as follows.Water absorption test,Compressibility test.
The water absorption of cube is determined by measuring increase in weight of oven dry sample when immersed in water for 1 hour.
Results and conclusion:
For mono fiber cubes: As the aspect ratio increases, water absorption decreases.For bi fiber cubes: Water absorption show the better results compared to mono fiber cubes.Optimum results for plastics are obtained at 4 – 5 % concentration by volume of concrete.
It was found that the cement block containing mono fibers and bi fibers as well as plastics, increases the strength of the block and decreases the water absorption of the cement block compared to standard cement blocks.
Scope for future work:
Coir beds, rubbers, latex etc which are also medical waste generated in large quantity can be also used with mortar to increase the strength. Various other
tests such as sorptivity i.e. capillary action on cement block etc. can also be carried out further.
14. PRODUCTION OF LACTIC ACID FROM MOLASSES
COLLEGE : K.L.E. SOCIETY’S COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, BELGAUM GUIDE : MR. S. N. HOSAMANE STUDENTS : KIRTI R. RAJPUT ANKITA GUPTA PRATEEK RAHUL PATIL
Introduction
There are many problems faced by the industries today, especially the problem of waste disposal. One such problem faced by sugar industry is discarding blackstrap molasses, which is a waste produced after separation of sugar from molasses. This project deals mainly on useful utilization of molasses, which on fermentation gives useful compound lactic acid. This project relates to an improved and an economical process for production of lactic acid from molasses. In this project, we describe the efficient conversion of molasses sugar by Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus caessi for lactic acid production.
Objectives:
Extraction of lactic acid from molasses by fermentation.
A comparative study of amount of lactic acid obtained from molasses collected from three different industries.
Methodology:
Take three sterilized conical flasks and add 50 ml of molasses to each flask from three different industries.Add 50 ml of water in these conical sterlised flask. Add 20% of H2SO4 to the solution. To adjust the pH of the medium upto 6.5, 4.0M of KOH is added. 4 gms of CaCO3 is added. Add 0.5 gms of dry yeast.A pure culture of Lactobacillus delbrueckii is added to the flask containing molasses from satish Sugars and Gokak Sugar industries.A pure culture of lactobacillus cassei is added to the flask containing molasses from Rani Sugar industry. The above prepared samples are kept in laminar air flow for a period of 72 hours for fermentation to take place. After 72 hours, 10 ml of sample is pipetted and titrated against standard 0.1N NaOH using brome thymol blue as indicator. A change from blue colour to yellow is the end point. Now the samples are kept in continuous shaking incubator at 96 rpm and 370C. 10 ml of sample is pipetted at every 3 hours and titrated against standard 0.1N NaOH using brome thymol blue as indicator. The readings are noted down and used to calculate the concentration of lactic acid.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 40
Results and conclusion:
In this project, the students have produced lactic acid from molasses taken from three different industries and the production of lactic acid was different in all three molasses solution. This difference was due to differing composition of molasses. To optimize the yield of lactic acid production we carried out the experiment at different pH, temperature and rpm of incubator. Many valuable compounds found in molasses find use as binding agents in manufacturing of citric acid, industrial alcohol, etc.
Scope for future work:
Since lactic acid can be obtained from various other sources such as whey, soyabean hulls, beet molasses etc. future work may be based by considering one of these raw material for extraction of lactic acid.

16. REMOVAL OF COLOUR AND COD BY ELECTROCHEMICAL AND ELECTRO COAGULATION (EC) PROCESS FROM DISTILLERY SPENT WASH
COLLEGE : SDM COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, DHARWAD, GUIDE : MR. H. S. ASHOK RAO STUDENTS : B. M. MALLIKARJUNE JAGADEESH SHIRAGUR ANANDU NAIK
Introduction:
Elimination of pollutants and color from distillery effluent is becoming increasingly important from environmental and aesthetic point of view. Alcohol distilleries are one of the most polluting industries generating an average of 8–15 of effluent (“spent wash”) per liter of alcohol produced In India, which is the second largest producer of ethanol in Asia with an annual production of about 2300 million liters in 2006–07, alcohol distilleries are rated as one of the 17 most polluting industries. Spent wash is characterized by its dark brown color and low pH (4.2-4.5), high ash content and contains high percentage of dissolved organic and inorganic matter of which 50 % may be present as reducing sugars. It contains about 90-93 % water and 7-10 % solids; sugar being 2 – 20 % and protein 10 – 11 % in the dry spent wash. The metals present in spent wash are Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd and Co with electrical conductivity in the range of 25 - 28 (mS/cm), BOD (40,000 - 50,000 mg/l) and COD (1, 00,000-1, 25,000 mg/l).
The present study is about removal of colour and reduction of COD from distillery spent wash by electrocoagulation using Aluminium (anode) and Stainless steel (Cathode) electrodes.

Methodology:
The experiments are carried out in the glass beaker (250ml) using aluminum as anode and stainless steel as cathode. A magnetic stirrer is employed to maintain an unchanged composition and avoid the association of flocs. Stirring rate is maintained nearly the same in all the experiments. Electrodes are connected to a regulated D.C. power supply equipped with an ammeter and a voltmeter.
In each run 200 ml of the effluent sample was treated. Since the effluent is having enough conductivity, it is not required to add any electrolyte to the electrolytic cell. The electrode used for the process is (10cm. × 5cm.× 2mm ) with effective electrode area is kept 25 cm2 (5cm.X 5 cm).

17. MEASUREMENT OF EVAPO TRANSPIRATION USING LYSIMETER
COLLEGE : ANJUMAN ENGINEERING COLLEGE FOR MEN, BHATKAL, UTTARA KANNADA GUIDE : DR. SANDEEP. J. NAYAK STUDENTS : NAVEEN R. M.KABEER ANSAR SUNEESH ADEEB KUNHAMED
Introduction:
Demand for water is increasing due to increase in population, rapid industrialization and increasing tendency towards growing more crops under irrigation. During summer months the crops are invariably subjected to drought condition and therefore it becomes increasingly important to optimize the irrigation needs of the crop. Since transpiration exceeds the optimum the excess water is lost to the atmosphere by way of water vapor through leaf surface. It is of great importance to know the rate of evapotranspiration so that the farmers can provide the crop with proper amount of water to be added for the growth of paddy crop at critical stages.
Objectives:
To fabricate simple tank(micro lysimeter)with inlet and outlet arrangements such that water surplus, water deficit and water balance can be obtained during crop growth
To plant paddy crop in the Lysimeter and measure evapotranspiration (daily water added and percolated) till the cropping period.
To know the water requirement of the crop grown in the field and also to provide required quantity of water for irrigation.
Methodology:
PET is what would be evaporated from a surface if water was never a limiting factor. PET can be calculated using empirical formulae, from the simple needing only temperature. To complicated ones requiring several obseravations. Alternatively PE may be calculated as the difference between two easily measurable quantities. These quantities are the input and output of water in a system which may be anything from a large water catchment area to a small container. If the soil and vegetation is confined within a
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 44
small tank and measurements are made of the water input (rainfall R and additional water A) and output (percolated water P) collected in the receiver.
Figure : Lysimeter model used for project
Result and Conclusions:
The specific gravity of the soil sample obtained from the field was found. Both the bulk density and dry density was found to be 16.25 kN/m3 and 12.04 kN/m3 respectively. By sieve analysis, the coefficient of curvature (Cc) and uniformity coefficient (Cu) was found to be 1.62 and 10 respectively. The infiltration observed was 1.58cm per hour using double ring infiltrometer. From the permeability and sieve analysis test conducted on soil is found to be clayey sand. The rate of evapotranspiration obtained using lysimeter is high when compared to the evaporation obtained using Blaney-Criddle method. Thus the crop coefficient (Kc) could not be found out. The major limitations in the use of lysimeter are the reproduction of physical conditions such as temperature, water table, soil texture, density etc. within the lysimeter comparable to those outside in the field.It is due to these limitations that there is a difference in the rate of evapotranspiration between lysimeter method and Blaney-Criddle method
Scope for future work:
The result can be improved if instead of micro lysimeter (observing input and output outside the field), actual measurement at the field itself will improve the results. However this process is tedious and cumbersome.
18. EVALUATION OF MINIMUM SHEAR REINFORCEMENT IN RC BEAMS
COLLEGE : BASAVESHWAR ENGINEERING COLLEGE, BAGALKOT GUIDE : DR. S. S. INJAGANERI STUDENTS : MANJUNATH N. PATTAR RAJASHREE V. CHINTA RAVI B. HOSAMANI
Introduction
The use of high strength concrete (HSC) and high performance concrete (HPC) in the recent years has increased drastically. The fact is that, these concretes can be produced reliably by controlling the water-cement (w/c) ratios incorporating a suitable admixture. The behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) members is a very complex phenomenon mainly because of its non-homogeneity, presence of cracks and reinforcement, and the nonlinearity in its material response. The reinforced concrete (RC) beams in shear at failure behave distinctly different from that in flexure. The absence of large deformations and inadequate warning before failure makes the shear failures more catastrophic than flexural failures.
The shear strength of concrete is directly related to its tensile strength, which is considerably lower than its strength in compression. In analysis and design of RC members the major concern is the prediction of diagonal cracking strength due to the combined action of shear and the flexure. From literature review it has been well understood that when HSC is used, with the increase in strength of concrete the ductility decreases, resulting in brittle failures without adequate warning. Thus, web reinforcement in the form of stirrups is provided for resisting the shear stresses to ensure sufficient ductility before failure. However, the present code provisions for design of RC beams in shear are based on the study of normal strength concrete (NSC) members and with depth of beams approximately less than 400 mm. Such an approach leads to very conservative designs, non-uniform safety margins and inadequate ductility when high strength concrete (HSC) is used. Hence, the design expressions for estimating strength and the minimum shear reinforcement by codes of practice require thorough review and need to be re-established.
Objectives
1. To study the behaviour of normal and high strength reinforced concrete beams in shear.
2. To verify the design provisions incorporated by different international and national codes of practice for the design of high strength RC members, as these provisions are based on beams made from NSC.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 45
3. To check the provisions for minimum reinforcement required for RC beams in shear as per code provisions for different concrete strengths.
Methodology
Total of three reinforced concrete beams with web reinforcement were tested with varying compressive strength of concrete to study their behaviour and also to compare the provisions for estimating the design shear strength and minimum reinforcement by various National Codes of practices. The failure modes of the beams, web strains in concrete, load deflection responses and the shear ductility of RC beams are discussed.
RC Beams with web reinforcement: Three beams of size; 2000 mm x 180 mm x 300 mm were tested under three point loading with a constant percentage of longitudinal reinforcement of 2.15%. The shear span-to-depth ratio was kept at 3.5. The measured shear strengths of the RC beams at different stages of loading are compared with that of other code provisions.
The ultimate strength with web reinforcement subjected to flexural shear is obtained from Vn = Vcr + Vs
Where, Vcr = Shear resistance at the stage of initiation of diagonal cracking in a member subjected to flexure and shear, regardless of whether or not shear reinforcement is provided &
Vs = Ultimate shear resistance of the shear reinforcement.
Results and Discussion:
Crack Profile and Failure Mechanisms: During testing the crack profile of all the three RC beams were noted at regular load interval and the same are schematically represented in Figures 1 to Figures 3. The numbers of cracks developed are more in number. This clearly indicates that the shear reinforcement converts the failure mechanism of beam from brittle to ductile.
Initially, the flexure cracks developed at the mid-span prior to the diagonal cracks being developed. Subsequently, the flexure cracks developed in the shear span at higher loads and then converted into diagonal cracks at mid depth. Later, these cracks propagated towards the load point and also towards the support, prior to failure of the beam. However, all the beams failed due to diagonal tension failure with a little crushing of concrete near the load point for NWS beam.

Conclusions
Based on the objectives set in the present study and the experimental work carried out in the laboratory the following conclusions can be drawn.
1. The minimum reinforcement was provided in accordance with IS 456 for beams made of normal, medium and high strength. The failure mechanism in normal strength, medium and high strength concrete beams shows that the minimum reinforcement provided in high strength concrete beams is inadequate because the failure was sudden and catastrophic.
2. The minimum amount of web reinforcement specified by IS 456 and BS 8110 codes of Practice are independent of compressive strength of concrete. However, the ACI, CSA and AASHTO provisions for minimum shear reinforcement are a function of compressive strength of concrete.
3. The experimental work carried out in the present study show that the current provisions for minimum reinforcement as per IS and BS codes of practice are inadequate for HSC beams. Hence, a modification in the IS code provisions is required.

Introduction
Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material; it is usually associated with Portland cement as the main component for making concrete. The demand for concrete as a construction material is on the increase. It is estimated the production of cement will increase from about 1.5 billion tons in 1995 to 2.2 billion tons in 2010 (Malhotra, 1999)
On the other hand, the climate change due to global warming, one of the greatest environmental issues has become a major concern during the last decade. The global warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, to the atmosphere by human activities. Among the greenhouse gases, CO2 contributes about 65% of global warming (McCaffrey, 2002). The cement industry is responsible for about 6% of all CO2 emissions, because the production of one tone of Portland cement emits approximately one ton of CO2 into the atmosphere (Davidovits, 1994c; McCaffrey, 2002)
Several efforts are in progress to reduce the use of Portland cement in concrete in order to address the global warming issues. These include the utilization of supplementary cementing materials such as fly ash, silica fume, granulated blast furnace slag, rice-husk ash and metakaolin, and the development of alternative binders to Portland cement.
This project deals with the manufacture of low calcium fly ash based Geopolymer concrete.
Objectives:
The main object of the project is replacement of cement by using fly ash.
To obtain the high strength concrete in less duration of period.
To compare the strength of Geopolymer concrete with conventional concrete.
To check suitability of Geopolymer concrete for mass concreting.
Methodology
Mixing, Casting, Compaction and Curing of Geopolymer Concrete: Geopolymer concrete can be manufactured by adopting the conventional techniques used in the manufacture of Portland cement concrete. In the laboratory, the fly ash and the aggregates were first mixed together dry on pan for about three minutes. The liquid component of the mixture is then added to the dry materials and the mixing continued usually for another four minutes.
The sodium silicate solution and sodium hydroxide solution were mixed together at least one day prior to use to prepare the alkaline liquid used for the preparation of Geopolymer concrete.
The fresh concrete was cast and compacted by the usual methods used in the case of Portland cement concrete. Fresh fly ash-based Geopolymer concrete was usually cohesive.
Heat-curing of low-calcium fly ash-based Geopolymer concrete is generally recommended. Heat-curing substantially assists the chemical reaction that occurs in the Geopolymer paste. Both curing time and curing temperature influence the compressive strength of Geopolymer concrete. The test specimens were 100x100X100 mm cubes heat-cured at 50°C in an oven. The curing time varied from 24 hours to 168 hours (7 days). Longer curing time improved the polymerization process resulting in higher compressive strength.
Results:
The effect of curing time (with different water contents – 130 kg/m3 and 140 kg/m3) on compressive strengths are graphically shown in figures 1 and 2.

Conclusions
Based on the present study the following conclusions were drawn
It is possible to produce Geopolymer concrete of strength ranging from 10.54 N/mm2 to 24.11 N/mm2 using NaOH and Na2SiO3 solution and low calcium fly ash.
Slump of Geopolymer concrete for a given water content ↔ with increase in fly ash content.
For a given water content, as the fly ash content increases the compressive strength of Geopolymer concrete increases up to certain amount of fly ash beyond which strength decreases.
As the age of testing increases, the strength of fly ash based Geopolymer concrete increases.
Geopolymer concrete is costly then conventional concrete for small works but Fly ash concrete is economical in case of mass concreting.
Scope for future work:
The following suggestions can be considered for future work
Geopolymer concrete can be designed flexure and split test.
Geopolymer concrete can be designed for 4M, 12M and 16M

Introduction
The term SCC refers to a new special type of concrete mixture characterized by high resistance to segregation that can flow through intricate geometrical configuration in the presence of reinforcement under its own mass without vibration and compaction.
SCC is one solution for utilization of flyash and recycled aggregates, to conserve the energy, natural aggregates, to overcome the problem of landfill, utilization of flyash in environmental friendly conditions. Above all the most important, SCC is a wonder material which has a lot of advantages compared to normal concrete.
Objectives:
To develop SCC starting with paste content based on absolute volume using both normal crushed angular aggregates and recycled aggregates.
To study the effect of different volume of paste on the fresh properties of SCC mixes.
To study the effect of using different paste content on the compressive strength of SCC mixes.
To compare the compressive strength of SCC with normal aggregates with that of SCC with recycled aggregates and normal concrete.
Methodology
The recycled aggregates are obtained from crushing demolished concrete structures, discarded precast elements and unused hardened concrete waste. Recycled aggregates may have a rougher surface texture and more permeable than the crushed natural aggregates.
In this study cement (OPC 53 grade), fly ash, commercially available poly carboxylic ether based superplastizer, natural river sand and crushed angular normal aggregates and recycled aggregates of maximum size 12.5 mm were used.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 48
Nine SCC mixtures were fabricated using cement content of 300 kg/m3, 390 kg/m3 and 450 kg/m3 with a constant water content of 190 l/m3. The paste content considered were 0.39, 0.41 and 0.43. The powder content varied from 517 kg/m3 to 652 kg/m3. The water to powder ratio by volume range from 0.79 to 0.95, by mass from 0.29 to 0.37. Cubes of 100 mm and 150 mm and cylinders of 100/200 mm were cast and tested for compressive strength at 7, 28 and 60 days. In addition, the split tensile strength was also assessed. Comparable normal concrete for all water to cement ratios were also cast and tested at 28 days.
Results and Conclusions
The findings of the study indicates that the range of volume of paste for fabricating SCC is 0.39 to 0.43, both for crushed angular aggregates and recycled aggregates. The mixture proportioning method based on absolute volume is simple and reduces the number of trials for developing SCC mixes. The higher paste content makes the mix cohesive and flowability or slump flow (yield stress) increases as the volume of paste increases. This trend is also seen in case of compressive strength wherein the compressive strength increase as volume of paste increases. However, an optimal value (0.41) of volume of paste is noticed for the materials used in this study. There is also substantial increase in long term compressive strength of SCC due to pozzolanic activity of filler material (fly ash). The results however indicate that the compressive strength of SCC with recycled aggregates has a lesser value when compare to normal crushed angular aggregates. In this limited study, the percentage is around 15. The new method of mixing adopted in this study has resulted in good flowability.
Scope for future work
Further experiments can be carried out for different grading of aggregates and different paste contents. Also experiments can be carried out using recycled aggregates from different sources to characterize and to know its effect on fresh and hardened properties of SCC. Experiments can also be conducted using different types of fillers both reactive and non-reactive with recycled aggregates for fabricating SCC to know the effect of pozzolanicity on compressive strength.

Introduction
RPC is a high strength ductile material formulated from a special combination of constituent materials. The mechanical and elastic properties of RPC depend on curing condition and material selection specially crushed aggregate and steel fibers. This high strength and durable concrete reduces steel and cross section of the member to the great extent. As the behavior of RPC is entirely different from normal concrete the design methodology of the structures with RPC need to be developed. In India development of RPC is in preliminary stage i.e. in selection of material and arriving at mix design. Only a little work has been done on evaluating properties of it. To bring the RPC from laboratory to practice more studies are required in developing the stress-strain curve, developing of the design methodologies for the design of structures. Here an attempt is made in this regard.
Objectives:
Enhancement of homogeneity by elimination coarse aggregate.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 50
The enhancement of compaction density by optimizing the granular mixture.
Improved ductility through the incorporation of steel fibers.
To design the RPC mix and find workability.
Methodology:
In this work the critical parameters of RPC mix design are investigated and the mix design is explored through a program of concrete casting and testing. The materials required for RPC such as cement, quartz powder, silica sand, silica fume and steel fibers are proportioned to get high strength up to 200 Mpa and its mechanical properties are assessed. The cube and cylindrical specimens are prepared of suitable size to assess the compressive and tensile strength of concrete specimens.
Results and conclusion:
Applications or RPC -use less materials; are lighter in weight; more elegant; easier, faster, and safer to construct; lower in maintenance; and have a longer life than conventional materials. This new technology is consistent with the construction trends and demands for reducing labor, materials, construction time, and environmental impact, while increasing safety, security, durability & service life.
23. RICE HUSK ASH CONCRETE BLOCK
COLLEGE : GURU NANAK DEV ENGINEERING COLLEGE, BIDAR GUIDE : MR. R. SATHISH KUMAR STUDENTS : PAWAR PRAVEEN MALTESH SURANAGI MD. ASIF NAGARAJA PATIL
Introduction
Rice husk is an agro-waste material which is produced in about 100 million of tons. Rice husks contain organic substances and 20% of inorganic material. Rice husk ash (RHA) is obtained by the combustion of rice husk. The most important property of RHA that determines pozzolanic activity is the amorphous phase content. RHA is a highly reactive pozzolanic material suitable for use in lime-pozzolana mixes and for Portland cement replacement. RHA contains a high amount of silicon dioxide, and its reactivity related to lime depends on a combination of two factors, namely the non-crystalline silica content and its specific surface.
Objectives:
To provide a good quality and eco-friendly concrete by replacing cement with a waste material but super pozzolanic rice husk ash
To study the compaction factor, strength and density of rice husk ash concrete, through an experimental investigation.
To make cost of construction less.
Methodology:
The workability, compressive strength and density of RHA concrete of different ratio, different water cement ratios have been investigated by testing blocks casted of 230mm x110mmx 80mm.The samples were made with only one type of Rice Husk Ash processed from N.K.Enterprises Admn. Off.: Mukhya Marg, Jharsuguda, Orissa, INDIA – 768201. Experimental investigations includes study of various physical properties such as density, workability and compressive strength. Rice Husk Ash concrete blocks of 23cm x 11cm x 8cm size with varying mix proportions of RHA, cement ratio and different water cement ratio were cast in the lab.
Results and conclusion:
Compressive strength of Rice Husk Ash concrete was found to be nearer to the conventional concrete at lower percentage of replacements as 10%. It is found that the early strength of Rice Husk Ash concrete is found to be less and the strength increases with ageing. From the cost analysis, it is found that with increase in RHA content the cost of RHA concrete decreases. The RHA occupies more volume than cement for the same weight. So the total volume of the RHA concrete increases for a particular weight as compared to conventional concrete which results in economy. When the percentage of RHA is increased, the workability of the mix becomes very poor as compared to the conventional concrete.
Scope for future work:
Comparison of setting times of conventional concrete and RHA concrete.
Study of resistance against acid and chlorine attack.
Study of combined properties of RHA and fly ash.

Introduction:
The use of recycled aggregates in concrete opens a whole new range of possibilities in the reuse of materials in the building industry. The trend of the utilization of recycled aggregates is the solution to the problem of an excess of waste material, not forgetting the parallel trend of improvement of final product quality.
In this project an attempt is made to find out the effect of sustained elevated temperature on the properties of RAC produced by different supplementary cementitious materials. The effect of replacement of cement by fly ash and blast furnace slag in different percentages on the strength characteristics of recycled aggregate concrete when subjected to a temperature of 500˚C are studied.
Objectives:
To find out the effect of replacement of natural aggregates by recycled aggregates in different percentages, on the strength and workability characteristics of concrete.
To investigate the effect of replacement of cement by fly ash and silica fume in recycled aggregate concrete.
Methodology:
To find out the effect addition of supplementary cementitious materials on the properties of recycled aggregate concrete, series of experiments are carried out. Supplementary cementitious materials are primarily used for improved workability, durability and strength. These materials allow the concrete producer to design and modify the concrete mixture to suit the desired application. Concrete mixture with high Portland cement contents is susceptible to cracking and increased heat generation. These effects can be controlled to a certain degree by using supplementary cementitious material.
Results and conclusions:
It has been observed that even at 100% replacement of natural aggregates by recycled aggregates the compressive strength of concrete can be compared with the compressive strength of designed mix. It is found that the compressive strength of concrete produced with the replacement of natural aggregates by recycled aggregates and 10% cement replaced by silica fume, shows higher strength properties as compared to that produced by 25%replacement of cement by fly ash.
25. NOVEL MATERIAL FOR WATER TREATMENT
COLLEGE : N.M.A.M. INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, NITTE GUIDE : DR. P.C.SRINIVASA STUDENTS : AMITA TALEKAR PRANAMYA K. VEERESHA SHETTER SHIVARAJ K.
Introduction:
Solid waste management has become major concern. So it is necessity to reduce solid waste from food processing industry which is the greatest challenge in front of the world. Sea food industries are major industries in coastal areas. Chitosan is a byproduct material recovered from sea food industry. Chitosan is a natural, nontoxic, antimicrobial biopolymer containing hydroxyl (OH¯) and ammonia (NH²†) groups in its molecular chain. Chitosan is used in the clarification of water and waste-water and in treatment of water.
Objective:
To investigate the suitability of chitosan in removing turbidity and ability of chitosan in reducing other parameters such as hardness, chloride, sulphate and nitrate.
Methodology:
Samples of water are collected from different source and characterized for physical and chemical parameters.
The turbid materials were mixed with distill water. River silt was mixed with different water samples. The conventional jar test was used to establish optimal condition of pH and concentration of chitosan. The turbid water sample (500ml), adjusted to the desirable pH levels, and appropriate concentrations of chitosan were stirred for 2 mins at 100 rpm followed by 5 mins at 30 rpm.The treated samples were allowed to settle for 1hr, after which pernatant aliquots were withdrawn via pipette turbidity was measured as nephelometric turbidity units (NTU). Other Tests performed are Hardness Test, Chloride Test, Sulphate Test and Nitrate Test.
Results and Conclusions:
Chitosan works effectively in neutral and alkaline condition. Chitosan, a sea food industry waste are effective in removing turbidity and other parameters. The removal efficiency of turbidity of chitosan is 100% where as alum showed 50% efficiency at same concentration and pH. Performance of chitosan depends on internal water characteristics. We can conclude that chitosan can be used as a coagulant in
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 52
water treatment. Chitosan is better than alum in reducing turbidity and also effective in reducing hardness, nitrate and chloride in water sample. Thus the value added by product from waste can be used for economical purpose instead of dumping as a waste.

COLLEGE : P.D.A. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, GULBARGA GUIDE : PROF. A. B. HARWALKAR STUDENTS : ASHWINI T. ANUR SYED MUJEEB JYOTI S. PATIL NAGESH
Introduction:
The concept of industrialization of the construction technology has emerged as well accepted and preferred option in the field of building construction. The development of new construction materials and technology can partly relieve pressures on the existing building material supply and help to arrest the spiraling rise in cost of these materials and also may reduce in situ construction activities. In addition to economic and ecological benefits, the use of fly ash in cement matrix improves its workability, reduces segregation, bleeding, heat evolution and permeability.
Objective
To experimentally study “Air entrained Ferrocement panels with high volume fly ash and compatibility of connections”
Methodology
In this project 8 no. of panels of size 1500 x 600 x 12mm are cast to study the flexural strength, 10 no. of 300mm diameter with 12mm thickness for the study of thermal conductivity and 2 no. of panels of size 1500 x 600 x 12mm for compatibility of connection. For the cementitious matrix it is decided to use fly ash, sand as the siliceous ingredients and Build Plast AEA as the air entraining agent.
Results and conclusion
The addition of fly ash resulted in decrease of compressive strength of mortar. But the flexural behavior of fly ash added ferrocement panels under uniformly distributed load, is superior when compared with control panels. From the criteria of
initial cracking load and thermal conductivity, the optimum percentage of fly ash addition to the ferrocement panels is 50%.

Introduction:
In the last few decades, there has been a tremendous increase in the demand for fresh water due to rapid growth of population and the accelerated pace of industrialization. Rapid urbanization, especially in developing countries like India, has affected the availability and quality of groundwater due to its overexploitation and improper waste disposal, especially in urban areas. Water quality index is one of the most effective tools to communicate information on the quality of water to the concerned citizens and policy makers. WQI is defined as a rating reflecting the composite influence of different water quality parameters. WQI is calculated from the point of view of the suitability of groundwater for human consumption
Objectives:
To turn complex water quality data into information that is understandable and usable by the public. Water Quality Index based on some very important parameters can provide a simple indicator of water quality.
To determine the suitability of groundwater for human consumption based on computed water quality index values.
Methodology:
The data containing tested parameters of water samples were collected from Zilla Panchayat Office Dharwad This data is used in this project for the calculation of water quality index. This forms the attribute data.
The water samples for various parameters as per ISI 10500-1991 standards are analyzed and water quality index that reflects the extent of the ground water pollution is determined.
Results and Conclusions:
In this study, the computed WQI values ranges from 6.507 to 299.601 and therefore, can be categorized
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 53
into four types “excellent water” to “very poor”. The table shows the percentage of water samples that falls under different quality. The high value of WQI at these stations has been found to be mainly from the higher values of pH, total dissolved solids, fluorides, and calcium hardness in the groundwater.
Scope for future work:
WQI may also be calculated for the uncovered villages, which we could not cover due to the shortage of time. It can also be calculated for the lakes, rivers and open wells for the assessment of suitability of water.

COLLEGE : SRI SIDDHARTHA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, TUMKUR GUIDE : MS. SARASWATHI RANGAPPA TEGGI STUDENTS : MOHAN KUMAR S NAGANITHIN D S
Introduction
Engineering judgment and judicious use of available materials can reduce the cost of housing. Efforts are needed in this regard to bring about economy in housing cost and also proper utilization of limited resources. Arch lintels are the structural members, which are used in building to bridge across the openings of doors, windows or cupboards etc to support the weight of the superimposed masonry. Brick arch lintels show many cracks and steel sections are wasteful and become loose when exposed to sun due to their high rate of expansion and corrosion problems. Due to some of this reasons arch lintels are constructed using pre-cast concrete blocks as a substitute to above mentioned materials. The proposed study is to use the pre-cast concrete block, which is wedge shaped made of cement concrete with partial replacement of Cement by granite cutting slurry waste powder and coarse Aggregate by Mangalore tile bats and compared with cement concrete brick arch.
Objectives:
To cast wedge shaped cost effective concrete bricks by partial replacement of cement by Granite cutting slurry waste powder and coarse aggregate by Mangalore tile bats of appropriate
proportion so as to preserve the strength of cement concrete (Tilecrete) block and at the same time make it cost effective and eco friendly.
To construct the semi circular arch lintels using wedge shaped cost effective concretre bricks with different number of layers of bricks.
Methodology:
Determination of the basic properties of materials used in concrete and new concrete mix. Determination of the compressive strength of various mixes at 28th days. Casting and curing the cement concrete and Tilecrete Bricks. Construction and curing of Arch lintels. It is chosen that 10% replacement of cement by granite cutting slurry waste powder. This conclusion by casting mortar cubes and calculating compressive strength of this cubes for cement and cement + slurry powder (for various ratios).From the above results, 20% replacement of coarse aggregate has been taken by MANGALORE TILE BATS for construction of arch.
Results and conclusion:
By using the arch mould concrete and tilecrete bricks (with partial replacement of Cement with 10% Granite Industry Waste (fine slurry powder) and coarse aggregate with 20% Mangalore tile bats) can be produced in mass, cured and handled very easily (precast elements).Environmental friendly because Granite fine slurry powder are dumped in and around city limits, once it get dried it mixes with air and causes air pollution which is hazardous for environment. Mangalore tile bats being a waste materials being used as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate, hence the project becomes cost effective.
Scope for Further Work:
Replacing the fine aggregate by crusher dust and demolished waste etc.
Replacement of cement by fly ash and marble polished slurry powder etc.
Study of different profile and thickness of arches.
Study on effect of haunch height for load carrying capacity of arch.

COLLEGE : SRI SIDDHARTHA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, TUMKUR GUIDE : MR. B. H. MANJUNATH STUDENTS : NIKHIL T. R. CHETHAN J. GURUNATH N. R. SUMATHI H. D.
Introduction: Cement is the second largest material consumed after
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 54
water Now a day’s concrete pavements are gaining popularity for its own good paving properties. As such a consumption of cement is increased drastically. As cement demand increases, production also increases.
An admixture is an additional material like flyash, added to concrete in order to improve a particular or desired property of concrete. Fly ash is a finely divided residue obtained from the combustion of powdered coal and transported by the flue gasses and collected by electrostatic precipitator. The important property of fly ash is its spherical form; because of its spherical shape it improves the workability of concrete. When it is substituted for cement at certain percentages. Fly ash contains reactive constituents and unreactive crystalline matter. Reactive constituents reacts with lime and offers hydrated minerals to impart strength and reactive matter gives packing effect to the concrete, filling up of pores and thus by increases the strength Here an attempt is being made to consume this pollution causing material to a utility by using it in concrete.
Objectives:
Compatibility study of different cements with the super plasticizers using MARSH CONE.
Workability measurement in respect of optimum dosage of admixtures as determined by marsh cone.
Evaluation for pavement overlay properties like compressive strength, , flexural strength , modulus of elasticity etc as per available standard methods.
Marsh cone equipment line diagram
Methodology:
Collection of materials. Fabrication of marsh cone equipment. Various tests on the materials are conducted. Based on the test result of materials, mix design is done in accordance to Draft code IS 10262-1982. Using the mix design, cubes, cylinder and beams are caste and tested for various properties.
Results and conclusion:
From the results of marsh cone test, it is concluded that, at saturation point, marsh cone time in seconds for BRAND1, BRAND2, BRAND 3 and BRAND 4 are 11.6, 13.0, 13.3, and 16.0 respectively. From this we can conclude that BRAND1 cement is more compatible with admixture conplast SP 430, because the marsh cone time is lowest than any other cements, when compared. Hence Ultra tech cements are used for further studies.

COLLEGE : SRI TARALABALU JAGADGURU INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, RANEBENNUR GUIDE : MR. G.E.RUDRAPPA STUDENTS : CHANDRASHEKHAR A. S. PRADEEP M. SHASHIDHAR L. T. VIJAYARAJ N. K.
Introduction:
The concrete consists of hard inorganic material called aggregate such as gravel, sand of crushed stone etc., mixed cement and water. A few hours after mixing material undergo chemical reaction and mixtures get solidified and it attains strength with age.
The strength of concrete depends upon the components such as aggregate, quality of cement, water-cement ratio, workability, normal consistency of mix, proportion and age of concrete.
In new building materials, materials such as fly ash, blast furnace slag, foundry rand, etc., are tried as partial replacement in concrete in which mixture plays an important role in characteristics of concrete.
Objectives:
The following are the main objective of study.
a. To compare the crushing strength plain cement concrete with foundry dust concrete.
b. To evaluate flexural strength of plain cement concrete and foundry dust concrete.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 55
Conclusions:
Comprehensive strength of cubes and Flexural strength of beams increases as the curing period increases and followed conventionally.
The addition of 15% of foundry dust is optimum as compressive strength and flexural strength are maximum.
As the percentage of foundry dust increases both flexural and compression strengths of cubes and beams reduced.
The compressive strength of concrete with the partial replacement of both foundry sand is within the allowable limits.
There is a 10% reduction in concrete cost by using foundry sand.

32. SPARE BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION USING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CELL
COLLEGE : EAST WEST INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANGALORE GUIDE : MR. SURESH.M. B. STUDENTS : SUJWALA B. S. VIVEK H. B. VINAY K. R. SRIRANGA DIWAKAR HEGDE
Introduction:
The RM (Resource Management) cell is used when the ABR (available bit rate) service type has been selected for indicating the source about the state of traffic in the network. The RM cell reports on the network characteristics such as bandwidth availability, congestion state and impending congestion on the network. The process (in which RM cell is used) requires the source to send a resource management cell requesting the desired bandwidth before actually sending the cells. If the switch accepts the request, the RM cell is passed on to next switch until it reaches the next destination. However, if a switch cannot grant the request it simply drops the RM cell. The source waits till timeout and resends the request.

Introduction
Data privacy is a hot topic these days. This is hardly a new subject, but has received an increasing amount of attention, largely due to ecommerce. Protecting credit card numbers, medical data and other sensitive information has become more important than ever before, and on a larger scale. For all this encryption is not necessarily required. Many application domains benefit from data sharing, which can range from passing data to a single party for specific calculations to aggregating data from many entities for data mining purposes. In some cases, however, data sharing is impractical due to privacy concerns. Encryption techniques require that data be processed both before and after dissemination, and are incapable of offering different protection levels for different end users.
Data Obfuscation is a mechanism that overcomes these limitations. This techniques work within a data set, lowering individual data item accuracy in a systematic, controlled, and statistically rigorous way. Data obfuscation thus lets users disseminate sensitive data in a degraded form that, for many applications, permits sufficient calculation accuracy, but hides the data’s most sensitive aspect.
Objectives:
To come up with software which shall not completely encrypt the database but shall obfuscate the database; so that the Database would be accessible at the same time would maintain individual privacy. To demonstrate the various Obfuscation techniques we thought of taking the Banking Domain as an example. The idea here is to develop an Information Kiosk which shall provide various functionalities as enlisted below:
A login facility for generic and privileged user (Administrator).
A statistical view of the data (bar graphs).
Viewing the database.
Insertion and Updation privileges to the administrator.
Methodology:
Obfuscation techniques used in our system involves
Substitution: This technique consists of randomly replacing the contents of a column of data with information that looks similar but is completely unrelated to the real details. For example, the surnames in a customer database could be sanitized by replacing the real last names with surnames drawn from a largish random list.
Shuffling: Shuffling is similar to substitution except that the substitution data is derived from the column itself. Essentially the data in a column is randomly moved between rows.
Data Masking: Masking data means replacing certain fields with a Mask character (such as an X). This effectively disguises the data content while preserving the same formatting on front end screens and reports.
Randomization: This technique consists of replacing the contents of a numeric value with a randomly generated number. For example the month of a year value (1, 2, etc,) can be replaced by any randomly generated number within the range 1 – 12. This is one of the simplest and fastest Obfuscation techniques and also preserves the look and feel of the data.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 57
Number Variance : The Number Variance technique is useful on numeric data. Simply put, the algorithm involves modifying each number value in a column by some random percentage of its real value.

Result and conclusion:
The goal behind developing our system was to demonstrate the various obfuscation techniques and how they can be used in a real time application. Thus we came up with an Information Kiosk system for a banking domain which provides various functionalities to its users. The functionalities provided to a guest are: A statistical view of the investments made, viewing information regarding various schemes offered etc. The customers are first authenticated, after which they are not only provided with the functionalities offered to the guest but are also provided with a feature to view their personal and investment information in the original state while viewing the information of other customers in the obfuscated state. The administrator is also authenticated, after which he too is provided with the features provided to the guest and in addition has two more features: First, which allows him to view all the tables in both original as well as obfuscated states. Second, which allows him to Insert/Update the tuples.
Thus, using obfuscation, our system is able to maintain the security and privacy of the data while still maintaining the look and feel of the data.
34. TCP MODELLING FOR CONGESTION CONTROL
COLLEGE : KLE’S GOGTE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BELGAUM GUIDE : PROF. D. M. CHOUDHARI STUDENTS : GANESH HEGDE SHWETA HUNAGUND PRATIBHA UPADHYE VIVEK M.
Introduction:
Congestion control algorithms are fundamental for distributed systems like the global internet. These algorithms prevent such systems from collapsing by excessive traffic and may save resources by avoiding useless processing. In particular, congestion control mechanisms in the end nodes are appealing as they control the traffic souce directly rather than its effects inside the network. The Transport Control Protocol (TCP) was designed to adaptively fit the network capacity on an end-to-end basis and has become a universal transport protocol.
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, requiring connection establishment between sender and receiver for providing a reliable data transfer. A TCP connection is entirely managed in the end nodes. To establish the connection, either end nodes (hosts) may start the procedure by sending a request packet to the opposed side. The full procedure is commonly referred to as “three-way handshake” because it involves the exchange of three packets in total. The end node starting the connection establishment is called client
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 58
host and the other side is the server host. The three-way handshake makes use of the SYN flag (1 bit) in the TCP header to mark the packet used exclusively for connection setup reasons.
Methodology and Results:
The client host first sends a special SYN packet to the server host requesting a connection setup. Provided that the server host is able to accept the connection, it allocates the TCP buffers and variables to the connection and sends back an acknowledgement generally called SYN, ACK to the client host. Upon receipt of the acknowledgement of the server host, the client host also allocates buffers and variables to the connection, and transmits another acknowledgement ACK to the server host. After these packet exchanges, the SYN flag is permanently set to zero and the regular data transmission begins. The connection termination takes place in an analogous manner, in which any of the two end nodes may initiate the procedure. Another specific flag in the TCP header is used for closing a connection, the FYN flag (1 bit). After the connection termination, both end nodes have their resources freed.
Conclusion:
TCP is a transport protocol that guarantees reliable ordered delivery of data packets over wired networks. Although it is well tuned for wired networks, TCP performs poorly in mobile ad hoc networks. This is because TCP’s implicit assumption that any packet loss is due to congestion is invalid in mobile ad hoc networks where wireless channel errors, link contention, mobility and multi-path routing may significantly invokes congestion control procedures, it will suffer from performance degradation and unfairness.

Introduction
In any search engine search behavior by a potential customer is not clear-cut and distinct. It is an involved and downright complicated process to implement for maximum “FINDABILITY” and “VISIBILITY” of the products and services online. And what adds to this difficulty is “language”. Identifying, assembling and implementing the
diverse query techniques of phrases or keywords may be an exhaustive job for common man because of their poor hold on English language. The multilingual people search project provides a platform to common man for using the multi-lingual search engine efficiently. It works by storing information of different persons using different languages in the database, which they retrieve later on the specific request.
When the user inputs the keyword for search, the contents of the page is analyzed to determine the index/key word. The interface will provide the user with the choice of selecting a language (English, Hindi, and Kannada).To assist the user with the keyboard help is provided in the help document. User is also provided with the option to add, update or delete the database but only with the administrative privilege. All the above option requires a thorough search of the database and also updates the database. An output screen with suitable result is displayed for the respective operation.
Objective
To provide common man a search engine where he can choose a language he is comfortable with. It relieves common man from the overload of learning English language and gives an easy and explicable interface for searching details of persons stored in database with the ease of choosing a preferred language. It can also be used as a search engine in a broader perspective.
Methodology
The project basically uses Unicode as its backbone. The scripting languages used are HTML & PHP and MySQL for the queries. The use of XAMPP makes it possible to run apache in windows. It is a free and open source cross-platform web server package, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MySQL database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages mainly used for web developing projects.
Results and Conclusion
The main objective of this project is achieved by providing a search engine that can understand 2 languages “Kannada and Hindi”. It provides a highly interactive user friendly GUI based software tool. This project is helpful in providing the common people a platform to use search engines in their local language (specifically Kannada & Hindi). This system is easy to understand and access. It is simple to use with an appealing interface.
Scope for Future Work
The software can be easily enhanced. The flexibility of the software allows for the enhancement to meet timely changing needs of the user. Other regional
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 59
languages can be added to increase its usage. The search can be made more efficient by providing a translator which can be used in translating the information provided and searching the whole database for the desired output. An additional facility to add photos and thumb impression along with person’s detail will make the information more sophisticated.
36. OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE FOR NETWORKS USING COGNITIVE APPROACH
COLLEGE : NITTE MEENAKSHI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANGALORE GUIDE : MS. KAVITHA SOODA STUDENTS : PAVITHRA R. RANJINI R.
Introduction
The recent growth in the user demands and the technology transformation in networking have led to a paradigm shift in designing new modalities of operations of network with increased capabilities and ease of use. The need of the hour is that the network adapts its behavior to the changes in networks, learns from its environment and exploits the knowledge to improve its future behavior.
Cognition can be compared to the mental process including above mentioned aspects. In this, Perception is to learn from the environment and understand the changes of environment. Acting and planning evolves from what has been understood, Learning is to understand and grow in the environment, Reasoning is to analyze the reasons or the motivations of the changes and Decision making is to decide what to do according to the results of reasoning to achieve a predefined goal.
Objectives:
To find the optimized path from source to destination by implementing numerical optimization techniques.
Methodology:
Cognitive network is a network composed of elements that, through learning and reasoning, dynamically adapt to varying network conditions in order to optimize end-to-end performance as shown in Figure 1. This has evolved to meet the requirements of the network as a whole, rather than the individual network components.
Figure 1. Cognitive Approach
The feedback loop was commonly called as OODA loop as shown in Figure 2, used by military officers for thought process of their opponents.
Figure 2. OODA Loop
There are two important components that need to be included in the OODA loop. One is the overarching module, which deals with the input to the loop and guides the orientation and decision components by providing a context in which to make a decision. The second one is the learning module, which prevents mistakes from previous iterations occurring in future iterations.
Results and conclusion:
It can be concluded that the Davidon- Fletcher-Powell algorithm is the better algorithm of the three for optimization as the time taken by it to compute the best path is lesser and that the method it employs in finding the optimal solution has a property of superlinear rate of convergence on general functions, and quadratic termination using exact line searches on quadratic functions.
Scope for future work:
Genetic algorithms work with the coding of the parameter set and not the parameter themselves.

COLLEGE : P. A. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, MANGALORE GUIDE : DR. WASEEM AHMED STUDENTS : KEERTHI NAYAK MEGHA C. R. RAINY MARIA D’SOUZA RAJATHA
Introduction:
Numerous computer applications utilize images for visualizing objects. An image gives more life and understanding in any field. An image is composed of several objects. Ray tracing is a method of creating visual art in description of an object or scene is mathematically converted into a picture. To create these objects it need to read a text file containing the information describing the objects and lighting a scene and generates a image of that scene from the view point of the camera also described in the text file.
A freely available image creation application in the public domain called Persistence of Vision Ray Trace (POV-Ray) provides these features. The POV-Ray creates image using rendering technique called retracing, that is software traces imaginary light rays backwards from where the end point lies (pixels on computer screen) to their initial point (some light source of the screen). This step is repeated pixel by pixel until entire image is created.
Objective:
To provide an interface which generates the images dynamically.
Methodology:
Step 1: Obtain picture type and corresponding parameters from the user.
Step 2: Generates corresponding POV-Ray source code using the user inputs.
Step 3: Compiling POV-Ray files to generate the image.
Step 4: Display the picture back to the user.
Results and Conclusion:
Dramatically decreases the memory storage, because a single code runs for the different views. Each time the user gives the input, the code is generated and is overwritten.Less man hours are required. Less prone to errors.Easy to accomplish.
Scope for future work:
Code extension can be done by merging different templates.
One can explore ways to improve the performance of rendering for visualizing artificial scenes with photo-realism on the screen of a workstation.

COLLEGE : ADICHUNCHANAGIRI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, CHIKMAGALUR GUIDE : MR. GOUTHAM M. A. STUDENTS : ASHWINKARANTH K. S. BRIJESH RAJANNA GONCHIKAR BHASKAR CHOUDHARY DENISH RAJU
Introduction:
Biometric devices are key security devices considered in the development of a security plan. The Project is to investigate the current techniques for fingerprint recognition. This target can be mainly decomposed into image preprocessing, feature extraction and feature match. For each sub-task, some classical and up-to-date methods in literatures are analyzed. Based on the analysis, an integrated solution for fingerprint recognition is developed for demonstration. The demonstration program is coded by MATLAB. For the program, some optimization at coding level and algorithm level are proposed to improve the performance of the fingerprint recognition system. These performance enhancements are shown by experiments conducted upon a variety of fingerprint images. Also, the experiments illustrate the key issues of fingerprint recognition that are consistent with what the available literatures say.
Objectives:
To check the identity of the finger specific features that a person enters through comparison with the archived fingerprint features of multiple people.
Methodology:
A fingerprint recognition system constitutes of fingerprint acquiring device, minutia extractor and minutia matcher [Figure 1].
Figure 1. Block diagram Fingerprint Recognition System.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 62
For fingerprint acquisition, optical or semi-conduct sensors are widely used. They have high efficiency and acceptable accuracy except for some cases that the user’s finger is too dirty or dry. However, the testing database for our project is from the available fingerprints provided by FVC2002 (Fingerprint Verification Competition 2002). So no acquisition stage is implemented.
Algorithm Level Design
To implement a minutia extractor, a three-stage approach is widely used by researchers. They are preprocessing, minutia extraction and post-processing stage.
Figure 2. Minutia Extractor
Results and Conclusion:
Some novel changes like segmentation using Morphological operations, minutia marking with special considering the triple branch counting, minutia unification by decomposing a branch into three terminations, and matching in the unified x-y coordinate system after a two-step transformation are used in our project, which are not reported in other literatures we referred to. Also a program coding with MATLAB going through all the stages of the fingerprint recognition is built. It is helpful to understand the procedures of fingerprint recognition. And demonstrate the key issues of fingerprint recognition. For instance the image is processed in terms of matrix though it’s time consuming; as a result the image is processed in detail and hence efficient processing. Further about implementation, the project provides the percentage for matching which in turn provides customized option for the user.

Introduction
Security is the name of the protection of every new invention, in this regard, is bound to have profound implications. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one such invention which breaks new barriers in the field of security.
The other mind boggling aspect of RFID is the number of applications it can be used in. It has attempted to secure the ignition of a bike using RFID. The technology though simple has far reaching implications. The basic feature here is that the bike is installed with a RFID reader. This reader is programmed for a unique tag with a unique tag code. When the tag is brought in the vicinity of the reader, it is read by the reader. If the code read by the reader matches with the one stored in the program, a high is given as output else the output goes low. In a world, where security is the name of the game, every new invention, in this regard, is bound

2. Opto-Coupler: The function of the opto-coupler circuit is to provide isolation between the 8051 and the driver circuit. The signal generated from the 8051 is fed to the opto-coupler through a current limiting resistor. The signal that arrives from the 8051 makes the LED glow and biases the opto-coupler transistor. The transistor conducts getting into saturation region. Now the biasing is provided to the driver transistor through the resistances R2 and R3. The transistor Q1 also conducts and provides a voltage of 9V across the diode, to drive the relay. From the relay contacts the bike is made ON.
Results
This application is useful for not only fuel filling, but also for loading of road tanker trucks with chemicals, oil or even gasoline at filling terminals and tank farms. The same process described above can be used by a chemical manufacturing company for example to automate its loading and dispatches.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 63
Conclusion
Although hurdles remain, it’s a technology that holds great promise for the future. The principle hurdle is the high cost of the technology which isn’t permitting its entry into every field. Currently it’s being used only by the higher end vehicles. But with further dip in prices, this technology will inevitably make its mark in every sphere. An added advantage of this is that it can be used by a layman without depending on a technical person. If efficiently implemented, RFID has the power to make everyday life unfathomably secure.
41. DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF MICROCONTROLLER BASED GOVERNOR CONTROLLED IC ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR SET USED FOR GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY USING BIOGAS
COLLEGE : CANARA ENGINEERING COLLEGE, BANTWAL TALUK, D.K. GUIDE : MR. RAGHAVENDRA SOODA STUDENTS : PRITHVI KOMARPANT RAO SIMI SOWMYASHRI K
Introduction
Biomass power, also called bio power, is electricity produced from biomass fuels. Biomass consists of plant materials and products. Biomass fuel include residue from wood, paper product industries, residues from food production and processing, trees and grasses grown specially as energy crops and gaseous fuels produced from solid biomass, animal waste and landfills.
Biomass can be converted into electricity in one of the several processes: (a) The majority of biomass electricity is generated today using a steam engine. In this process, biomass is burned in a boiler to make steam. The steam then turns a turbine which is connected to a generator that produces electricity. (b) Solid biomass is converted into fuel gas in a gasifier. Biomass contains methane and carbon dioxide. The biogas can be used for heating or for electricity generation in a modified combustion engine.
Objective
The objective is to identify technologies that could be used in providing affordable and reliable power supply to rural areas, and effect implementation through distributed generation schemes whenever feasible.
Methodology
Biogas produced in the tank by anaerobic fermentation is given to the four stroke engine through a gas outlet pipe. The engine is coupled to the alternator which produces power to be delivered to the domestic load.
Here to maintain constant speed of Alternator which is coupled to the four stroke IC Engine, to obtain constant power irrespective of load a feedback circuit is used, which is programmed by use of Microcontroller. The speed of the Alternator is compared with preset value. Any difference in the value changes the diameter of IC engine valve. To adjust the amount of fuel injected in to the engine, stepper motor is used for acceleration/deceleration purpose. Speed of the stepper motor is controlled using microcontroller program.
Figure 1. Block diagram
System Description
The above figure shows the schematic diagram of the plant producing power using 4 stroke engine and microcontroller feedback circuit.
Biogas plant: Biogas is produced in this plant through anaerobic fermentation which is collected in dome shaped space. The biogas flows through a small hole in the roof of the dome to the IC engine through outlet gas pipe.
IC Engine: A four stroke petrol start kerosene engine is used to convert chemical energy in to mechanical energy. IC engine is coupled to the alternator.
Alternator: The electrical machine which converts mechanical power into alternating current power is called as an alternator.

Microcontroller unit: To maintain constant speed of Alternator which is coupled to the four strokes IC Engine, to obtain constant power irrespective of load a feedback circuit is used, which is programmed by use of Microcontroller. The feedback circuit controls the valve opening through stepper motor.
ULN 2003AG IC is used as a driver for Relay switching operation which is employed in our project to operate the switching nature of the machines.
Stepper Motor: A transition of bit pattern causes the rotor to move by a small amount, or a “STEP”, so named as “stepper motor”. The size of this step is dependent on the teeth arrangement of the motor. Speed control is achieved by simply varying the frequency of the bit pattern.
Results
Simulations
Different types of simulation can be done using this Matlab/Simulink engine model. Here we simulate the open-loop dynamics of the engine. The first simulation is executed for the engine when the external torque is zero, the throttle angle is constant α =1rad and the engine velocity transient response is obtained. The result presented in Figure 2(a)
Figure 2(a): The engine velocity output (rad/s) in response to a unit throttle position input
The velocity transient response shows some time delay at the beginning of the process and the steady state velocity is about 620rad/s.
Another simulation is done for the throttle position α = 0.32rad when the external torque = 10 sin (t). The engine velocity transient response is shown in figure 2(b).

This last simulation shows that the steady state velocity is about 370rad/s and there are some velocity oscillations according to the extern torque variations. Thus, to reduce the output sensitivity to extern torque variations, it is necessary to implement some type of feedback control scheme. The reference speed signal is shown in figure 2(c).
Figure 2(c): The reference speed signal
Initially the reference speed is 150rad/s and is greater than the idle speed of the engine, which are 100rad/s. If we try to simulate the engine response, when the reference speed is 100rad/s initially, the engine stops due to engine friction torque and insufficient controller output.

Conclusion
This project has presented the approach to complex system simulation using Matlab/Simulink. As an example, the equations of the four stoke, 6-cylinder, 2.7 liter internal combustion engine has been chosen. The “down-up” method of hierarchical
model creation has been explained step-by-step. Some simulations have been executed to demonstrate the open loop and closed-loop dynamics of the engine. The model can be used for closed-loop cruise velocity control and injection/ignition system simulations, too. It is possible to integrate this model into the complete model of the car dynamics [4]. The results presented here can be adapted to the electronics, mechatronics and mechanics curricula to help in development of the skill of complex system simulation.

Use of four stroke engine that reduces incomplete scavenging of the unwanted gases, but even a small percentage of unwanted gas like carbon dioxide that is liberated during the combustion will reduce the efficiency. So it can reduce it by the addition of alkalis like KOH or NaOH which are good absorbents of carbon dioxide Thus power output can be improved. The required KOH or NaOH is expensive; alternatively it can be synthesized from the residual products of chemistry laboratory with suitable method.

Introduction
Automated Temperature Tracking System using iButton is a project designed to monitor the temperature of different devices or to track or to record automatically the variation of temperature of the objects.
In the project, Thermochron iButton is used to track the temperature. The Thermochron is built on two technologies, a computer chip enclosed a stainless steel can and a communications protocol. The iButton is a standalone instrument with a battery and protective housing. Once it is rogrammed it will run for a long time without attention, and without any external connections. The 1-Wire protocol is used to command the iButton and to retrieve data that is stored on the computer chip inside.
The Renesas R8e/25 are fabricated using a high-performance silicon gate CMOS process, embedding the R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, and are packaged in a 40 –pin molded-plastic LQFP. It implements sophisticated instructions for a high level of instruction efficiency. With 1 Mbyte of address space, they are capable of executing instructions at high speed.

The Thermochron is built on two technologies, a computer chip enclosed a stainless steel can (called as iButton), and a communications protocol (called 1-Wire). The iButton is a standalone instrument with a battery and protective housing. Once it is programmed it will run for a long time without attention, and without any external connections. The 1-Wire protocol is used to command the iButton and to retrieve data that is stored on the computer chip inside.
A Thermochron is a special iButton that has a temperature sensor, a clock and a memory. The Thermochron can be programmed to record temperature readings at a desired interval. The temperatures can later be retrieved along with thetime of each reading. Every iButton device has a unique address stamped on the face of the can. This address is also encoded in the computer chip and accompanies any data read from the device.
Communicating with a Thermochron requires a 1-Wire interface to the processor, the hyper terminal in computer and a serial us. Programming the Thermochron is called “missioning”. Programming and Processing of Thermochron through RENESAS advantages more than the other processor. RENESAS R8C/25 is the controller which is the heart of this project. It is a 8bit controller. This is having two serial ports and inbuilt ADC&DAC are available. The main advantage of this controller is having huge amount of flash. This is very useful in Ethernet applications.

Introduction
Advances in Image Acquisition and storage technology have led to tremendous growth in very large and detailed image databases. These images, if analyzed, can reveal useful information to the human users. Image Mining deals with the extraction of explicit knowledge, image data relationship or other patterns not explicitly stored in images. Image mining is more than just an extension of data mining to image domain. It is an interdisciplinary endeavor that draws an expertise in computer vision, image processing, image
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 67
retrieval, data mining, machine learning, database and artificial intelligence.
Objectives
To deal with the extraction of knowledge, image data relationship, which are not explicitly stored in the images.
Methodology
A set of images which were affected with different stages of infection were collected and separated into different grades. On these sets of images statistics like Mean, Median, Standard-Deviation, Covariance, Moment, Skewness, Kurtosis, Variance were calculated separately on Red, Green and Blue planes of the JPEG Image lying in that grade. Test Image is given as an input to the program and all the above mentioned features are calculated for that image. Each of these features is compared with the values stored for the standard images, present in the database. The maximum percentage hit occurs, if the maximum features of the test image lie in the range of values of Grade1, Grade2 or Grade3. Depending on the maximum percentage of hits for a particular grade, appropriate information can be suggested to the doctor.
Results and Conclusion
This technique (CAIR) can be used for reducing and enlarging images as well as removing items from the image which are not wanted (by manually painting 'negative weight' over an area of the image). This operator can be used for a variety of image manipulations including: aspect ratio change, image retargeting and object removal. The operator can be easily integrated with various saliency measures, as well as user input, to guide the resizing process. The decision support system designed by using the concepts of image mining in this project offers a robust and precise tool for medical image processing problem. Image mining do simplify image classification problem which is highlighted in the case study discussed. So it can be concluded that image mining brings down the complexity in high level image processing.
Future Work
To make the system more precise, neural networks may be used as a decision support system to give greater accuracy to our results.
Also using fuzzy logic, a deeper analysis about the image features can be made and unique factors can be found out using which we can clearly distinguish between the different grades of images with ease. Future classifier could be enhanced by using neural network and fuzzy logic which brings
in the factor called intelligence in to the system there by improving the adaptability.

Introduction
Aim of this project is to design an automated system that can hold the medical history of the patients and medical advisory. This device automatically intimates the patients for their medical prescription from time to time. This device also intimates the patient about the pharmaceutical inventory detail. The project realizes the design of “Remote intelligent patient assistance system”. This is mainly accomplished by the use of a microcontroller and a GSM.
Objectives
To get medical history stored in the device by sending the request SMS to the device.
To remind the patient when his next appointment is due.
Methodology:
The basic block diagram of the system
The microcontroller synchronizes all the activities of the system. It calculates the timings to send the reminder SMS. GSM modem is used for the communication part, i.e., to send and receive SMS. Now as a receiver the modem receives all the SMS sent by the patients and sends it in an order to the microcontroller and it also sends SMS in an order to the corresponding destination. I2C memory stores the details of each patient in a particular location, the medical prescription for a particular reading of any parameter. RTC also acts as a reminder. The timings are calculated by the systems and the remainders are sent based on the RTC. But for the internal working of the microcontroller, it uses the internal crystal oscillator output as clock pulses. The 4x4 keypad is used to feed
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 69
in all the information required. The doctor uses the system directly to control the system. The doctor can view the SMS sent received by the device or the details stored in the memory using the LCD screen.
Results and conclusions
The system designed thus ensures the proper medical assistance by intimating the patient of the appointments with the doctor and also the medical prescription from time to time. It intimates the doctor about the patient’s abnormal condition and thus provides the patient with appropriate medical advice or the next appointment given by the doctor. It also helps the patients in getting their medical history at any time by requesting for it.
Scope for future work:

The code can be translated into any other mobile phone compatible software and the whole system can be implemented on a single mobile phone.
The system can be added with the IVRS (interactive voice response system) and more features can be added to the system.
46. ASYNC REAL TIME OPERATING SYSTEM FOR Z8F64 MCU
COLLEGE : KVG COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, SULLIA GUIDE : PROF. KEDILAYA B. S. STUDENTS : CHAITHRA MANDANNA K. JISHA JOHN PRASAD A. P. AKSHATHA K. S.
Introduction:
Real – time response describes the software that produces the correct response to external and internal events at the proper time. A real-time operating system is an operating system with timing constraints, i.e. each task has to be completed before a deadline. An RTOS is usually used for time critical applications such as onboard spacecraft control, GPS receiver, and robotics.
The “Async RTOS” is a multi-tasking kernel designed for time critical embedded applications. It is developed for eZ8 Encore family of microprocessors. A major portion of the “Async RTOS” source code is written in ANSI C language.
Time sharing when used in general purpose operating system provides good response time to the users. However response times vary with load conditions in the system and this behavior is not acceptable for a class of applications called real time applications. A real time application is an application which requires a ‘timely response’ from the computer system to prevent failure. Thus real time operating systems are used to meet the response requirements of time critical applications.
A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is a multitasking operating system intended for real time applications. Real-time response describes the software that produces the correct response to external and internal events at the proper time. RTOS is an operating system with timing contraints i.e. each task has to be completed before a deadline. The “Async RTOS” is a multi-tasking kernel designed for time-critical embedded applications.
Async refers to events occurring without central control or in unpredictable time interval between successive events.

47. DETECTION OF BRAIN TUMOR COLLEGE : MALNAD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, HASSAN GUIDE : MS. B. R. SUJATHA STUDENTS : MARYAM JAMEELA POORNIMA PATIL POORNIMA SANIL RAGHVENDRA M.
Introduction
In the evolution of healthcare services, there is an increasing need for greater effective use of imaging data in medical diagnosis and individual risk assessment, treatment selection, and disease prevention. The aim of this project is to detect the presence and shape of brain tumors using image-processing techniques. Segmentation of anatomical regions of the brain is the fundamental problem in medical image analysis. Iterative watershed segmentation, which is fast, efficient and reproducible, is used. In this project, a novel semi automatic segmentation method for detection of brain tumor and its shape from MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image) of the patient is presented.
Methodology
First, preprocessing of the image is done which removes any noise if present and does contrast enhancement. Here, a simple knowledge model for the image, which provides high-level information, is used. Finally, a marker-based iterative watershed algorithm to detect brain tumor and its shape is used.
Results and conclusions
The code used, removes the air and water particles and also bone fragments correctly.
Brain tumour is easily detected when the internal and external markers are defined in the specified manner.
Accuracy of result is introduced in the detection of brain tumour when this code is used, which can’t be obtained on just a visual examination.

2. To introduce more sophisticated knowledge models in order to better segment tumors and all the other risk areas in head and neck radiotherapy.
48. HUMAN IRIS PATTERN RECOGNITION SYSTEM FOR BIOMETRIC
COLLEGE : NMAM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, NITTE GUIDE : MR. RAMPRASAD P. STUDENTS : JENISON S. SEQUEIRA PUNEETH KUMAR K. JNANESHA SURAJ S. SHETTY
Introduction
Iris recognition is an overview of the new emerging biometric technology. A biometric system provides automatic identification of an individual based on the unique feature or characteristic possessed by an individual. The focus will be on image processing and security aspects. This new technology overcomes previous shortcomings and provides recognition of an individual without contact or invasion at extremely high confidence levels. In this project there is a real time iris pattern recognition system and personal details database using CCD (charge coupled device) camera and suitable lighting conditions successfully implemented.
Objective
To solve the security problem by checking the validity of persons.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 71
Methodology
Firstly, image preprocessing is performed followed by extracting the iris portion of the eye image. The extracted iris part is then normalized; the Iris Code is constructed using 1D Gabon filters. Finally two Iris Codes are compared to find the Hamming Distance, which is a fractional measure of dissimilarity. Canny Edge Detection is performed on the preprocessed image. The Hough transform is a technique, which can be used to isolate features of a particular shape within an image. Eyelashes can be masked by using thresholding where a certain level is set. Specular reflections along the eye image are detected using thresholding. MATLAB Implementation is done. To test the system, two data sets of eye images will be used as inputs.
Results and Conclusion
Testing the uniqueness of iris patterns is important, since recognition relies on iris patterns from different eyes being entirely independent, with failure of a test of statistical independence resulting in a match. The mean Hamming distance for comparisons between inter-class iri templates was found to be 0.36. It can be stated that segmentation is the critical stage of iris recognition, since areas that are wrongly identified as iris regions will corrupt biometric templates resulting in very poor recognition. The results presented have also shown that segmentation can be the most difficult stage of iris recognition because its success is dependent on the imaging quality of eye images.
Scope for future work
A more elaborate eyelid and eyelash detection system could be implemented.
There is scope for improvement in the speed of the system.
49. GSM BASED SMART SENSOR FOR INDUSTRIAL FAULT DIAGNOSER WITH VOICE FACILITY
COLLEGE : VIVEKANANDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANGALORE GUIDE : MS. BHAGYALAKSHMI N. STUDENTS : NAGASHRI K. M. KAVERI M. J. SUMITHRA S.
Introduction
There are number of machines installed in large scale industries which compose of several parameters such as voltage, current, armature winding etc. If any one of these parameters falls out of their working conditions, the machine does not operate. Then, the service engineer will have to check every parameter to find out the exact faulty area which is time consuming and hence inefficient.
But, this model senses the faults itself and alerts concerned person in time; this system tells which parameters have failed audibly in control room and also SMSes about the faulty parameter to maintenance engineer’s mobile which reduces the time requirement of whole fault detection process.
Objective
To make the fault recognition in large scale production industries easier and time efficient without being in contact with the machine.
Methodology
The parameter sensed by the sensors is passed on to the signal conditioning circuit which is processed and further transmitted to the PIC microcontroller to set the ports for functioning.
Results and conclusion
The various conditions for range of voltage, temperature and security required are obtained.
Scope for future work

Introduction
Present day energy meters are electromechanical
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 72
devices used for measurement of electric energy consumption in domestic and commercial establishments. Some consumers try to manipulate the meter reading by making it to under register or even run backwards and various tampering technique are employed such as physically breaking the meter housing, jamming the mechanism, and bypass the meter with effectively using the power and not paying for it. These facts amount to theft which is a heavy loss to the power supplying company. Considering this, it is intended to design a power theft detector using MICROCONTROLLER. This is going to deliver the power to the load only during no-theft condition and cuts off power supply when theft occurs.
Objectives
To reduce the power theft by designing embedded power theft detector and controller using pic microcontroller for single phase.
Methodology
When the software is executed ADC takes place and compares the values of current transformer 1 and current transformer 2. When both the values are equal it indicates No-theft conditions whereas as unequal condition indicates the theft condition, and if theft condition occurs relay is used to cut off the load and another relay out put is given to transmitter to indicate the theft condition.
Block diagram
Results and conclusion
The system is working satisfactorily for all test conditions. The software can be modified easily for the updated version. This can be implemented in practical applications with small modifications in hardware and software. The software of the project is written in assembly language by using MPLAB
software and entered into the chip by using programmer.
Scope for future work
The performance of this project can be improved by using an internet service instead of connecting. This can also be implemented for three phase .Over load, underload, over voltage protection can be implemented.

51. WATER CLARIFICATION USING MORINGA OLIFERA (DRUMSTICK SEEDS)
COLLEGE : ADICHUNCHANAGIRI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, CHIKMAGALUR GUIDE : MR. MAHIMA T. STUDENTS : MONICA CHAKRAVARTHY MANASA H. N. POORNIMA DEVARAJ
Objectives
To use Moringa oleifera seeds as a natural coagulant.
To remove turbidity, bacteria, toxic chemicals like arsenic fluoride, suspended solids and colloidal solids.
To make comparative study with conventional coagulants and low cost treatment.
Methodology
Matured seeds are removed from the pods & shelled. Seed kernels are crushed & sieved. The seed powder is mixed with a small amount of clean water to form a paste. The paste is then diluted to the required strength before using it. Insoluble material is filtered out using either a fine mesh screen or muslin cloth. The milky white suspension is added to the turbid water & stirred fast at least for half a minute. Then the water must be slowly & regularly stirred for about 5 minutes. After stirring the treated water should be covered & left to settle for at least 1 hour. If moved or shaken before then, clarification will take much longer time or failed to reach completion.
Results and conclusion
The removal efficiencies of various parameters by Drumstick seed powder are tabulated. For constant dosage the efficiency of turbidity removal by Moringa Oleifera is more compared to alum to treat same sample of water. The efficiency of turbidity removal is
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 73
high in filtered solution than in unfiltered solution. Coagulant feeding done by wet process is more efficient compared to that of dry process. The amount of sludge produced from drumstick seed solution is less compared to that of alum. Moringa seed solution has the ability to reduce iron to very high extent and will reduce hardness. Water clarification using Moringa Oleifera is a low cost water treatment and can be effectively used at household levels.

53. ELECTROCHEMICAL COAGULA-TION TECHNOLOGY FOR TREAT-MENT OF HOSPITAL WASTEWATER
COLLEGE : SRI JAYACHAMARAJENDRA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, MYSORE GUIDE : DR. MAHESH S. STUDENTS : RAMYA S. CHAYA K. NITISH MOHITE DEEPAK CHOUKANPALLY MAHESH S.
Introduction
Electrochemical treatment (ECT) technology has been shown considerable interest during recent years as a very effective treatment method for wastewaters containing refractory and non-biodegradable materials. It uses sacrificial electrodes in an electric field, which can directly or indirectly degrade the pollutants/contaminants at ambient temperatures. Hospitals use a variety of chemical substances such as pharmaceuticals, radio-nuclides, solvents, and disinfectants for medical purposes as diagnostics, disinfections and research. These effluents are loaded with pathogenic microorganisms, partially metabolized pharmaceutical substances, radioactive elements, and other toxic substances. Such effluents if not treated properly could be dangerous to the ecological balance and public health.
Objectives
To electrochemically treat the real hospital wastewater (HWW) stream generated from the operation theatre (OT) (diluted blood water with solids-tissue) as also combined sewage.
To study the effect of number of electrode plates, cell voltage, electrolysis time, and the concentration of additives viz, coagulant aid and
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 74
sodium chloride (NaCl) on the removal of COD and solids.
To study the settleability of the solid residue and the filterability characteristics of the treated effluent from the batch ECR.
Methodology
Hospital wastewater was obtained from the operation theatre as also the combined sewage. Both these wastewaters had a very low transparency with OT-HWW having blood red color. This wastewater was directly subjected to electrolysis using iron plate electrodes. The ECC in batch mode were conducted in a 1.5L ECR of cubical shape using iron plates as electrodes. The electrodes were arranged in parallel and connected to the respective terminals of the DC rectifier. In each batch experimental run, 1.5L of wastewater was fed into the electrochemical reactor and stirred continuously to maintain good mixing in the reactor.
The ECC in batch mode was carried out by varying the cell voltage and by varying the number of plates.
Results and conclusion
The optimal results were obtained at 4V and 4 plate configuration. Use of NaCl as an additive at optimal operating conditions to improve COD degradation was a total failure, as the chloride content in the wastewater increased thus increasing the applied current. Al electrodes showed no sludge formation nor showed good filterability. SEM micrographs showed the changes in the anode plate structure with dents formed after repeated ECC cycles. Prolonged use of iron electrodes as anodes produced large number of dents on their surface.
Scope for future work
The results from the present study suggest a novel electro-coagulation scheme for the treatment of the segregated waste stream from hospitals, except for the fact that at higher applied voltages the electrochemical reactor overflows with treated wastewater, while at lower voltages it displays long electrolyze times.

Introduction
Irrigation with wastewater is a form of recycling that is practiced in many developing countries. In this study, an attempt is made to assess the effect of wastewater on soil properties and soil fertility. In developing country like India, where agriculture is the main source of economy, the disposal of wastewater on land for irrigation is of great importance. The fast paced growth of population has led to an increase in industrialization & urbanization leading to increase in demand for water. This results in water scarcity from the naturally occurring sources. Increase in demand of water also leads to increase in generation of wastewater. The disposal of wastewater without any treatment may have deleterious effect on the soil. The effects depend on nature of soil and also the quality of wastewater used for irrigation.
Objectives
To assess the effect of wastewater on soil properties.
To examine the suitability of wastewater for irrigation purpose.
To analyze the various soil characteristics
To trace out the heavy metals present in soil fed with wastewater.
Methodology
Standard sampling procedures were followed for collecting wastewater and soil. Four samples of Wastewater were collected near the treatment plant at different locations. Seven soil samples were selected from wastewater irrigated agricultural lands around treatment plant from a radius of about 3 km. Then the samples were air dried, pounded and passed through a 2mm sieve and preserved in clean plastic bags for analysis. The soil and water samples are analysed for various parameters such as pH, Electrical Conductivity, Alkalinity, Turbidity, Phosphates, Nitrate, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Cadmium, Chromium, Lead, Magnesium), Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, BOD, COD, Chlorides. The Wastewater samples were characterized for various physico-chemical properties, nutrient and heavy metal contents. The results are tabulated and the required parameters are determined.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 75
Results and conclusions
The pH of the soil samples irrigated with wastewater was found to be in the neutral range. The treated wastewater from treatment plants are finding their disposal to water bodies, which is later, used for irrigation.
Scope for future work:
The intake rates of heavy metals like cadmium in plants and its further effects on the health of human beings through food chain needs to be studied and
Study on microbiological effect of wastewater disposal on the land and on health of farmers.

Introduction
Intrusions and anomalies are two different kinds of abnormal traffic events in an open network environment. An intrusion takes place when an unauthorized access of a host computer system is attempted. The intrusion detection system (IDS) offers intelligent protection of networked computers or distributed resources much better than using fixed-rule firewalls. The newly proposed HIDS is designed to solve these problems with much enhanced performance. This project presents a new hybrid intrusion detection system (HIDS). This system combines the positive features of both intrusion detection models to achieve higher detection accuracy, lower false alarms .The episode rules are used to build the HIDS, which detects not only known intrusive attacks but also anomalous connection sequences. the intrusion detection system (IDS) offers intelligent protection of networked computers or distributed resources much better than using fixed-rule firewalls.

Results and conclusion
A base-support data mining scheme is proposed to facilitate episode rule generation. Combining SNORT and our ADS, the HIDS outperforms the SNORT and Bro systems by 100 percent and 173 percent, respectively. The HIDS advantages come from using dynamic data mining threshold and automated signature generation.

Introduction
There is a need in the diary industry for instrumen-tation capable of providing on-line information about the moisture content of cheese during manufacture. Present measurement techniques are usually performed off line and can be susceptible to human error.
This project deals with the measure of moisture contents of the diary products which is monitored during manufacturing by the use of humidity sensors.
Objectives
To maintain a ripening process, humidity monitor & temperature control.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 76
Methodology
If the cheese is manufactured with high moisture content, the humidity in the storage area can be a little lower, than if the cheese is made with lower moisture content. For moist cheese, which goes to storage, air humidity of 86-90% should be sufficient; for a more dry cheese it will be necessary to keep air humidity at 90-92%. Air circulation units should come on only 1-2 minutes every hour.
The moisture sensed is then converted into the electrical parameter. Then it is linearized. Then the signal is compared with standard signal and to actuate necessary signal.
Further, processes during which monitoring of moisture is required are – surface treatment, turning, ripening, cooling and storing.

Introduction
Energy audit is an important tool in transforming the fortunes of the organisation. This is highly relevant in sugar industry as it deals with renewable energy source which is looked upon as rural power house. The scope for conservation is immense and, if properly harnessed, it can take the organisation to the path of prosperity. Increasing industrial competition and ever increasing of energy,
especially fossil fuel, have focussed attention on the need to cut down wasteful energy consumption. As energy audit helps in identifying the areas where energy can be conserved, it becomes an important tool in making crucial management decisions. It is a positive approach to energy cost reduction through preventive maintenance and quality control programme.
The present work is about electrical energy audit of motors/pumps and thermal energy audit of boiler unit of cogeneration plant in sugar industry.
Objective
To identify energy saving opportunities in a sugar industry, through energy audit and energy management
Methodology
In this project, energy audit was carried out at M/s Prabhulingeshwara Sugars and Chemicals Ltd, Siddapur, Bagalkot District, Karnataka. Energy audit was conducted on both electrical energy and thermal efficiency of boilers which involved following steps:
Collecting data of all motors and pumps such as capacity, rated load etc, used in the industry
Grouping according to capacity, energy consumption and usage hours and setting priority based on effective usage (by generating priority rating, using the data)
Studying possible alternatives such as usage of variable frequency drives, planetary gear box, energy efficient motors
Studying and calculation of boiler efficiency, which include combustion efficiency, thermal efficiency, boiler efficiency, fuel-to-steam efficiency and component efficiency. Component efficiency includes fuel specification, effect of flue gas temperature, excess air, ambient temperature, radiation and convection losses etc.
Results and conclusions
Based on the audit, the following conclusions were drawn:
Use of Energy Efficient Motors is cost effective in saving electrical energy. With replacement by energy efficient motors, saving can be as much as Rs. 40 lakhs per season.
It is found that boiler efficiency is directly linked to moisture content. Reduction of moisture will help in improving efficiency.

COLLEGE : G. M. INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, DAVANGERE GUIDE : MR. HARSHA H. M. STUDENTS : KARTHIK P. KEERTI NARAYAN N. S. DEEPAK U. S.
Introduction
Aesthetics and hygiene play a very vital role in deciding the product life management of FMCG products in global consumer market. These two factors can be enhanced by implementing various new food handling packaging techniques before releasing the product for sale in the market. Though the technology is well known to many food product manufacturers, the problem in adapting these techniques in their plant is the cost parameter. Packing machines in today’s market conditions are quite expensive. This makes packing machines affordable only to medium and large scale enterprises, while small home and cottage industries will still rely on the very same manual methods of packaging, thus hinders the production rate, in spite of good demand for their product. This explains the need for a low cost, yet economical and affordable, packing machine.
Objective
The objective of the project is to fabricate an ultra low cost food packaging machine that can pack both liquid and solid foods which is affordable by cottage and home industries.
Methodology
Packing of bread loaves, using plastic films, was considered in this project. Steps involved are as follows:
Designs and problems associated with Horizontal Bed Machine and Vertical Form Fill Machine were studied and redesigned.
Based on the study, Form Fill Machine (FFM) was fabricated. This involved – procurement of frames, welding of frames, design and fabrication of suitable wooden rollers (for smooth movement of plastic films), coupling with high torque motors, fabrication of filler unit (which provides vertical platforms for pressing operation while heat-sealing and cutting), providing heater unit and protection cover.
Results and conclusions
The entire assembly can be done with much lower cost which makes this quite affordable by cottage and home industries.
The machine does not include any complex parts and this makes it very user-friendly. As there are no pneumatic or hydraulic parts, it requires much lesser floor space.
No heavy duty electrical units are included in this machine. The machine will run on single phase power supply.
The size and quantities of packets formed can easily be varied by adjusting the size of rollers.
Based on packing requirement, the speed of machine (packets per unit time is controlled by the operator (by varying the speed of the motor).

COLLEGE : K.L.E.SOCIETY’S COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, BELGAUM GUIDE : DR. G. RAVINDRANATH STUDENTS : KARNI SANDEEP SHIROL SUDHAKAR PATIL KUSHAL RANA
Introduction
Gas-solid fluidized bed, generally of aggregative nature, is marked by the non-uniform heat transfer co-efficient phenomenon. A body immersed in a fluidized bed at a different temperature than itself will experience a rate of heat transfer many times greater than it would experience with the air alone. Fluidized bed provide nearly isothermal environment with high rate of heat transfer to submerged objects due to thorough mixing and large contact area between air and particles.
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) also called Simulated Neural Network (SNN) or more commonly called Neural Network (NN) is an interconnected group
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 78
of neurons that uses a mathematical or computational model for information processing based on a connectionist approach to computation. It is a functional imitation of simplified model of the biological neurons and their goal is to construct useful ‘computers’ for real-world problems and reproduce intelligent data evaluation techniques like pattern recognition, classification and generalization by using simple, distributed and robust processing units called artificial neurons.
Objectives
To predict the heat transfer analysis with experimental values of single horizontal bare tube and bare tube bundles using artificial neural network with feed forward architecture and back propagation algorithm in MATLAB environment.
Methodology
MATLAB has a built-in function to perform this post-training analysis. The network output and the corresponding targets are processed through post-training. The resulting correlation coefficient (R-value) between the ANN outputs and the targets presents the measure of how well the ANN predicts the results. If the resulting R-value is one, then there is a perfect correlation between targets and outputs.
The procedure for predicting heat transfer parameters of experimental values obtained in gas-solid fluidized bed by artificial neural network in MATLAB environment is discussed.
Results and conclusion
The results of the data obtained from experiments for Single Horizontal, In-line, Staggered for small and large particles is being used for Training and Testing in ANN work are detailed. The TRAINLM method is adopted for comparison of the set performance limits.
Scope for future work
Genetic algorithm method can be used for optimizing the data in ANN under MATLAB environment.

Introduction
With prevailing increase in population of the world, by 2020, the average water supply per person is
expected to be one third lesser than the present supply. It is necessary to take all possible steps to conserve water.
The general flushing Cisterns used in India is of capacity ranging from 8-12 liters. If we look at its functioning, It is observed that these cisterns deliver same quantity of water during each flush, irrespective of requirement. It may be necessary to deliver lesser quantity of water when requirement is less. This project is taken to design a cistern to deliver variable supply of water.
Objectives
To design a cistern with variable supply of water, thereby saving water
Methodology
The presently used flash tank has a single level controller value and a gravity drop value. When the button is pressed, the gravity drop flow valve is raised and water flows. Once flushing is over, the valve drops due to gravity, thereby, cutting out the tank once it is full, it also shuts off. Take a tank with a dimension 46*22*14. Then take other steel sheet of dimension 3*22*14. At a distance of 20cm from left plane place the sheet. Using M-SEAL, seal the gap and make it leak proof. Now at center of the 2- side of bifurcation, place a gravity drop valve. Now at the height of 22 cm place a control valve on right side. Next at the 14 cm height on the bifurcation plate, place a float valve facing left. Connect the 2 pipes coming out of each in outlet. Trial run is done to detect any leakage
Results and conclusion
The aim of the project has to been achieved satisfactory level. If this is implemented for e.g. place JINDAL VIDHYA NAGAR. Each house has a flush tank & there are 1000+ houses. Water saved per day is calculated to be 86000 liters/day.

COLLEGE : REVA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT, BANGALORE GUIDES : DR. RAMESH M. R. MR. JEGADEESWARAN N. STUDENTS : GAURAV DIKSHIT SHAHEER BINEESH V. D.
Introduction
Degradation of materials due to wear at room temperature or at elevated temperature is encountered in large variety of engineering industries. Wastage due to wear of components in heat exchanger tubes, gas-
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 79
turbines and other structural materials in coal-fired boilers are recognized as being the main cause of downtime at power generation plants. This has increased interest in wear and friction properties of alloys and the development of wear protection systems in industrial applications. High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process, using oxygen and liquid petroleum gas as the fuel gas, has been used successfully to deposit Ni-Cr-Al alloy on Nickel based super alloy Nimonic-75. Under the given spray parameters seemingly layer structured coating has been achieved. The coatings are characterized regarding their microstructure, porosity and micro hardness. The unique micro structure containing flat un-melted particle improves the wear resistance of the coating. The wear performance of the HVOF sprayed coatings was found to be further improved by furnace heat treatment to grow stable α-Al2O3 oxide layer.
Methodology
The present work is focused on -
a. The development of wear resistant Ni-Cr-Al coatings using HVOF process, applicable at high temperature environment to protect heat exchanger tubes from fireside corrosion in fossil fuel power plants.
b. The micro structural and several properties have been characterized to evaluate its potential as high temperature wear resistant coatings
c. Ni-Cr-Al coatings have been furnace heat treated so as to develop α-Al2O3 stable oxide layer.
d. The dry sliding wear and abrasive wear behaviour of uncoated and Ni-Cr-Al coated super alloys in as prepared and heat treated conditions has been determined and compared using pin-on-disc tribometer at room temperature.
Results and Conclusion
a. High velocity oxy-fuel thermal spray process using oxygen and liquid petroleum gas as the fuel gas have been used successfully to deposit Ni-Cr-Al alloy on Nickel based super alloy Nimonic-75
b. Under the given spray parameters seemingly layer structured coating with desired thickness range of 210-270 m and lower porosity content, less than 0.95% has been achieved.
c. Microhardness of the coating found to be vary with the distance from the coating substrate interface and is in the range of 284-389Hv.This variation in micro hardness value might be due to presence of porosity, oxide, melted and semi melted particles in the microstructure of coating
d. XRD result of heat treated coatings conform the presence of α-Al2O3, stable oxide phase.
e. The frictional coefficients for as coated and heat treated coatings are in the range of 0.3 - 0.7
f. The frictional coefficient appears to be some what dependent on porosity, micro structural homogeneity and composition of the oxide. It is found to be independent of the hardness.
g. Un-coated super alloy shows the higher average specific wear rate when compared to Ni-Cr-Al coatings. The unique micro structure containing flat un-melted particle is expected to improve the wear resistance of the coating.
h. The wear resistance of the heat treated coatings is higher than that of as-coated samples as consequences of increase in the homogeneity of the coatings and formation of stable α-Al2O3oxide.
i. The specific wear rate and volume loss observed during dry sliding wear test found to be very less in comparison to abrasive wear with SiC paper.
62. STUDY OF COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION OF GRAIN REFINED AL-SI ALLOY USING ALSR AND TIBAL AS GRAIN REFINERS
COLLEGE : SAMBHRAM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANGALORE GUIDE : DR. M. M. BENAL STUDENTS : ANURADHA B. SAURABH ARJUN S. KUMAR SRIJIL M. K.
Introduction
Aluminium is the earth’s most abundant metallic element, making up approximately eight per cent of the planet’s crust. Aluminium is three times lighter than steel, but when alloyed, can attain steel’s high-strength characteristics. It is corrosion-resistant, making it hygienic and long-lasting. Grain refiner leads the world in the development and production of highly effective grain refining agents for the aluminium industry. Grain refiners are considered to provide benefits in a number of ways including improved feeding during solidification, reduced and more evenly distributed
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 80
porosity, and reduced hot tearing. There are a number of refiners for the foundry industry used industrially. Many potential grain refiners, such as ALSR and TIBAL, are suggested for Al-Si casting alloys.
Objectives
To reduce coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) value of Al alloys making it suitable for use in in high temperature applications.
Methodology
3 Kgs of LM 6 is heated in the range of 700 to 730˚C, cover flux is added to it to remove the slag present on the surface area. According to the weight % the powdered grain refiners are added to this and stirred for uniform distribution. 2 to 3 degasser tablets was added to reduce blowholes and minimize porosity in the casting. The two die halves were held firmly together with C-clamps. Then the molten metal is poured into the dies. After solidification the cooled castings in the form of cylindrical bars of diameter 25 mm and length 150 mm were removed from the dies by loosening the clamps. A similar approach was adopted for all the other compositions and corresponding castings were obtained. Throughout the investigation, the castings were prepared by heating the 3 kgs of LM6 and adding the corresponding weight % of grain refiners. Two specimens were prepared one for CTE testing and other for microstructure study.
Results and conclusions
From the obtained graphs, it was concluded that at 6% of ALSR expansion is minimum in the temperature range of 40-200˚C and at 4% minimum expansion is at temperature range of 270-400˚C. Optical microstructure examination has been carried out to check the homogeneity of grain refiners. Aluminium alloys can prove to be very good substitution for heavy metals in high temperature areas. With the decreased cost and high efficiency these alloys can hence prove to be very economically used in all the above mentioned fields.
63. ENERGY GENERATION USING FOOT STEPS
COLLEGE : SHRIDEVI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, TUMKUR GUIDE : MR. GOVINDARAJU H. K. STUDENTS : RANGANATH N. MANU D. R. PRADEEP K. S. CHETHAN K. R.
Introduction
The equipment which maneuvers “Energy Generating using Footsteps” is basically designed
to generate a particular amount of energy using the resource which is available easily, that is our own body weight, in a simple way by reciprocating the cam which in turn runs a dc generator by a rack and pinion transmission system. Adding to it the energy developed is used to glow a LED and it shows that the current or the voltage induced can be utilized in some other way also, it means it can also charge a battery or of any such kind which falls in its context.
Objective
To design an energy generating unit using foot steps (thereby, helping to solve the present energy crisis).
Methodology
Dynamo: The DC Generator used here is a Permanent magnet DC Generator which means it has a permanent magnet inside, which creates magnetic lines of force. And the winding are coupled to the Generator’s shaft and in turn it is connected to the pinion which receives the primary rotation from the rack. When the winding are rotated the magnetic lines of force are cut, then a small amount of electric current is generated .Again the electric current generated is directly proportional to the reciprocating height.
Electronic circuit: After receiving the voltage induced by the DYNAMO it is made to pass through an OPAMP circuit which configured to give a gain of 100. This amplification is sufficient enough to for the purpose of our plan. In this circuit an attempt is made to actual control the current and voltages generated and bring it to an almost continuous supply mode by using capacitor at place where it is in need. And an IC 741 is used as the main amplifying device which has a maximum gain of 2*105 that’s too more for us and the resistors used plays a major role in the amplification .So once the voltage is amplified to a sufficient count then the output voltage from the electronic circuit is given to the display.
Display (LED): This is a LED which when glows gives a indication that the current is flowing across it. This will illustrate that the project designed is accomplished because the end result expected is glowing of the LED and a final voltage reading and current reading is taken and the power generated is calculated by using the formula, P=V*I
Scope for future work
The generation could be simply increased by increasing the windings which increases the amount of
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 81
interaction with the magnetic field and also by simply amplifying the produced one.
64. DEVELOPMENT OF JUTE ROVING REINFORCED EPOXY COMPOSITES AND STUDY OF THEIR EFFECT ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
COLLEGE : S.J.M INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, CHITRADURGA GUIDE : MR. P. S. SHASHIDHAR STUDENTS : AJIT P. BHARADWAJ D. J. MANUNATH E. NAVEEN KUMAR G.
Introduction
A judicious combination of two or more materials that produces a synergistic effect is called a composite material. It is a material system composed of two or more physically distinct phases whose combination produces aggregate properties that are different from those of its constituents. In order to obtain reliable composite materials in structural applications and to utilize fully the potential of reinforcing fibers, both perfect impregnation and strong interfacial bond formation have to be guaranteed. In the present study, the mechanical properties of jute roving reinforced epoxy composites were investigated as a function of fiber loading and fiber surface wettability.
Objectives
To prepare Jute roving reinforced epoxy composites by using hand lay-up technique.
To study the Mechanical properties of prepared laminates on Universal Testing Machine.
Methodology
Glass reinforcing fabric is positioned manually in the open mold, and resin is brushed, over and into the glass plies. Entrapped air is removed manually with squeegee and rollers to complete the laminated structure. A hardener initiates curing in the resin system, which hardens the fiber reinforced resin composite without external heat. Figure below shows the basic process of hand lay-up.
Laminates are fabricated by hand lay-up technique and cured under light pressure at room temperature for 24 hr. One group of E-glass epoxy composite laminate is also fabricated for comparison purpose. The best combinations of the constituents which exhibit good mechanical properties are chosen as the optimum. The result of various tests is recorded & graphs are plotted.
The preparation of Jute roving reinforced epoxy composite laminates is done by hand lay up technique.
Results and conclusion
It is noticed that the specimen-1 is a brittle material but specimen-2 and specimen-3 are ductile materials. Among the three compositions, specimen-2 stands first in withstanding high compressive and also bending loads.The specimen-1 which is made of Jute roving is an organic material and eco-friendly. Also it is found that the bending strength of specimen-1 and specimen-2 is almost equal.
Scope for future work
This work can be extended with Organic Grass, Coir pith and Bamboo fibers as the reinforcement.
The Jute roving and Glass fiber can be combined together to form the reinforcing phase of the composite laminate to get a higher strength which results in Hybrid composites.

Introduction
Composites materials are those, which are created artificially by combining two or more materials, which usually have dissimilar characteristics. The constituents of a composite material can be identified macroscopically. This is in contrast to the usual metallic alloys whose constituents i.e., phases can be identified only under a higher microscopic examination and not macroscopically. Composites are materials that are comprised of strong load-carrying materials (known as reinforcement) imbedded in a weaker
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 82
material (known as matrix). Reinforcement provides strength and rigidity, helping to support structural load. The matrix, or binder, maintains the position and orientation of the reinforcement, balance loads between the reinforcements, protect the reinforcement from environment degradation, and provide shape and form to the structure. The matrix phase surrounds the reinforcement.
Objectives
To create an awareness on the various environmental pollution aspects and issues.
To collate, interpret, analyse and disseminate recent international research knowledge and development of polymer composite materials in construction to encourage uptake.
Methodology
The following tests were performed on the specimen:
1. Continuous soaking test
2. Boiling test
3. Weathering test
Results and conclusion
The results obtained should reflect the ideal design parameters for the use of plastics in various outdoor applications such as in the building industries, manufacture of fishing rods and in various plastic equipments regularly exposed to u-v radiations, fogs, mists, heavy rainfalls, expansion and contraction stresses due to heat waves and several other environmental hazards.
Scope for future work
With the same type of specimens other types of environmental stresses and their effects can be studied.
Various other degradation effects and chemical weathering should be studied closely.

COLLEGE : NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KARNATAKA (NITK), SURATHKAL GUIDES : DR. HARSHA VARDHAN DR. M ARUNA STUDENTS : RITESH KUMAR MISHRA NEELKANTH B PRABHU
Introduction
Quarrying of granite and limestone has been extensively done in Karnataka mainly for
construction of roadways & structures. Waste material produced from quarry/mines, if not disposed in a proper manner, may create environmental nuisance in near by areas.

Results and Conclusions
From the test results it is revealed that the mix 1:1.5:3 (cement : sand : baby jelly) of standard mix and its corresponding modified mix using granite dust and lime stone dust have the highest compressive strength in its class. The use of quarry dust with cementitious properties can result in major savings of conventional
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 83
raw material. The economic value of the dust can be further increased by sieving the dust for standard sizes as required by the consumer. Waste from quarries/mines can be effectively used to improve the strength of concrete in certain applications.
Scope for future Work
Similar tests can be done with different mix ratios and by varying curing time.
The strength can be compared for a known range of particle size, thus the influence of particle size on strength properties would be evaluated.
Tests can be done with other waste materials like fly ash, mill tailings etc. to study the possible use of these materials in construction industry.

COLLEGE : BAPUJI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, DAVANGERE GUIDE : DR. K. MURUGESH BABU STUDENTS : JNAANAANANDSWAMY HULASOGI VIJAYA KUMAR B. M APPA RAJESHWARI D. AVINA REKHA SIDRAMAPPA
Introduction
Silk, popularly known in the textile industry for its luster and mechanical properties, is produced by cultured silkworms. Silks represent a unique family of structural
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 84
proteins that are biocompatible, degradable, and mechanically superior, offer a wide range of properties, are amenable to aqueous or organic solvent processing and can be chemically modified to suit a wide range of biomedical applications. They are a unique group of fibrous proteins with unusually high mechanical strength in fiber form. The clinical success of silk sutures and availability of silkworm silk have encouraged a recent expansion of new biomaterials generated from the original suture-based protein harvested and processed from silkworms. Silks from silkworms and orb-weaving spiders have impressive mechanical properties in addition to environmental stability, biocompatibility, controlled proteolytic biodegradability, morphologic flexibility and the ability for amino acid side change modification to immobilize growth factors.
This project explores the possibility of using silk fibres including waste silk fibres as useful biomaterials with suitable applications in biomedical field. For this purpose, silk fibres from waste cocoons, reeling industry and spun silk industry will be utilized and suitably modified to convert into useful biomaterials.
Objectives:
To investigate the possibility and efficiency of Silk degumming using natural materials and Enzymes.
To understand the dissolution behaviour of Silk Fibroin in Metallic salts.
To analyse the properties and possibility of application of various biomaterials for biomedical industry.
Methodology:
Degumming of Silk using enzymes (Trypsin or Alacalase or others).
Dissolution of degummed Silk fibroin in Metallic Salts.
Regeneration of Silk Protein using Dialysis Method.
Concentrating the protein by air drying and acidification.
Conversion of fibroin protein into Biomaterials such as Films, Powder, Gels Etc,
Analysis of regenerated Protein and study of properties of various biomaterials.
Results and conclusions:
Fibroin is the principal water insoluble protein (i.e. 78% of the weight of raw silk) with a highly oriented and crystalline structure. Fibroin has a low proportion of amino acids residues with large side
chains in silk. It is a macromolecular protein of 300-450kDa. The reeling waste (grade A) contains a vast amount of silk fibers which has fibroin protein. This waste silk is used to recover the fibroin protein for the production of bio materials. Results suggest that the fibroin is a valuable protein in production of biomaterials. Silk reeling waste can be suitably modified to convert into useful biomaterials such as film, gel, powder and scaffold etc.
Scope for future work:
Different varieties of silks like Muga, Eri, Tussar and their wastes may be used for making biomaterials.
Advanced techniques such as X-Ray diffraction, FTIR, Thermal Studies etc., may be used to examine the behaviours of these biomaterials.

73. DEVELOPMENT AND FORMULATION OF EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISM TECHNOLOGY FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF DAIRY INDUSTRY EFFLUENT
COLLEGE : B.V.BHOOMARADDI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, HUBLI GUIDES : DR. V. S. SANGAM MRS. SAVITA S DESAI STUDENTS : ASMAPARVIN NAMAZI LAXMI S JOSHI SMITA A KADAM SWETA GARGATTE
Introduction:
Industrial wastes are of great concern to the society as they cause environmental pollution by adding toxic compounds and bad odor to the environment. Chemical treatment to overcome such problems are temporary and add to the pollution over space and time. Hence a Biological intervention causing effective microbe (EM) technology appears to be a sustainable, environmentally friendly technology benefiting the society.
Lactobacillus: produces lactic acid which acts as strong sterilizing agent and helps to degrade cellulose, pectin and other organic matters.
Yeast: produces some of the antibiotics and other useful substances.
Photosynthetic bacteria: The photosynthetic or phototropic bacteria are a group of independent, self supporting microbes.
The wastewater from the winery contained a number of winemaking chemicals and sediment and residues from cleaning out ferment tanks and barrels. The process for treating this acidic waste water, was through a biological multi-tank system with aeration in the process. Caustic soda was added to raise the pH.
Objectives:
• Survey of odor and collection of sample from Dairy Industry.
• Isolation of microorganisms from Effluent.
• Identification of microbes which degrade VFAs from literature survey.
• Formulation of compatible EM mixture and Treatment tank stability.
• Selection of organic substrate for EM consortia.
• Testing of EM mixture for minimizing the odor and.
• Pot studies to reuse the effluent water for gardening.
Materials and Methods
Micro-organisms used: Rhodobacter sphaeriodes (MTCC 8172), Bacillus clausii (Enterogermina), Methylobacterium extorquens (MTCC 298), Lactobacillus acidophilus (NCIM 2903), Mucor Hiemalis (NCIM 873), Aspergillus oryzae, Yeast, Streptomyces griesus (NCIM 2020), Pseudomonas, Bifidobacterium longum (Prowel- Alkem), B. bifidum (Prowel- Alkem), B.infantis (Prowel- Alkem).Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Eubioz, Lupin), Saccharomyces boulardii (Eubioz, Lupin), Streptococcus thermophilus (Eubioz, Lupin), Streptococcus faecalis JPC, Clostridium butyricum (Bifilac, TIL Pharma), Bacillus mesentericus JPC, Lactobacillus sporogenes (Bifilac, TIL Pharma).
The determination of fat in dairy effluent by Werner–Schmid method: A portion of the sample is digested with hydrochloric acid, and after cooling, the fat is extracted using a mixture of diethyl ether and light petroleum or alcohol. The solvent is then removed by evaporation, and the amount of fat remaining is determined by weighing.
Protein estimation by Lowry’s Method: The phenolic group of tyrosine and trytophan residues ( amino acid) in a protein will produce a blue purple color complex , with maximum absorption in the region of 660 nm wavelength, with Folin- Ciocalteau reagent which consists of sodium tungstate molybdate and phosphate. Thus the intensity of color depends on the amount of these aromatic amino acids present and will thus vary for different proteins
Determination of BOD level of waste water : The biochemical O2 demand (BOD) is the amount of O2 required by bacteria which stabilizing decomposable organic matter under aerobic conditions.
Determination of COD levels: COD test is widely used for measuring the pollutional strength of wastewaters. All organic compounds with few exceptions can be oxidized to CO2 and water by the action of strong oxidizing agents regardless of biological assimilability of the substances.

Results and Discussion:
Dairy Industries produce lot of effluent waste per day. This wastewater has high intense odour which may cause health hazards.
EM technology has been proven to be safe, low-cost, effective and easily utilized in environmental protection.
Dairy industry effluent was analysed for microbial content and five different microbes have isolated and coded as N, NA, C, K, S based on there colony characteristics.
All the organisms were Gram negative, rod shaped, and motile, and N, NA produced green colour pigment.
Biochemical analysis for reducing sugar, protein, lipids and BOD, COD were done.
Quantitative analysis of Reducing sugars by Anthrone’s test gave a result of carbohydrate content of 500 µg/ml
Quantitative analysis of proteins by Lowry’s method gave protein content of 100 µg/ml.
Qualitative analysis of Lipids was done by TLC using different sprays of ninhydrin solution, molybdic acid which gave the presence of cholesterol, phospholipids.
Organisms used for treatment include Lactobacillus acidophilus, Chromatium Species, Mucor heimalis, Streptomyces greiceus, Aspergillus Oryzae, Yeast and Pseudomonas isolated from effluent tank.
All the organisms were grown in different media and treated directly on 100 ml of effluent and checked for effects on odour, pH and clearance.
From the results, except Chromatium sp., others were selected and for better results Jaggary solution was used to ferment all the organisms and then treated on 400 ml of effluent sample. There was odour reduction after 15 days of treatment.
For cost optimization sugarcane juice was used as substrate for fermentation. Odour reduction was observed within lesser period with the addition of few more micro organisms like lactic acid producing bacteria, rhodopseudomonas sps and methnotroph in the EM mixture.Sugarcane juice was fermented with different combinations
of these organisms and treated on 250 ml of effluent sample. Totally 52 combinations of EM mixture were tried, out of which 4 effective EM combinations were identified based on three parameters namely pH range 3-4, odour reduction to 1 in the scale of 1-5 [ 1- least/no odour, 5 – foul odour] and clearance. When these 4 EM mixtures were studied in scaled up effluent treatment (1litre), EM1 and EM2 were found to be effective in forming higher clearance in effluent turbidity with reduction in foul odour and pH , there by rendering the effluent fit for safer disposal.
EM treated Ragi crop seeds were studied for germination and growth of seedlings. It is observed that the EM treated seeds were first to emerge and establish as compared to the untreated control and also the vegetative growth of the seedling was fast among EM treated ones. This indicates EM mixtures stimulate germination and growth related hormones of the crop.
These EM1 and EM2 mixtures are maintained as stock cultures in 2.5litres of sugarcane juice as organic substrate for microbial growth in glass jars. These two EM mixtures are recommended for field application with proper active formulation.
Future Prospects:
• The combinations EM1 and EM2 are effective on Dairy Effluent which are basic in pH,Its effect on other industry effluent need to be done.
• The Combinations are in liquid state, solid organic substrates can be used to maintain organisms stock.
• The combinations need to be formulated to make it Marketable.
• EM mixtures stimulate germination and growth related hormones of the crop. Effects of EM mixture on growth and germination of crops and other parameters like stem length, number of leaf need to be studied at field level.

Introduction:
Vermicomposting has intrinsic benifits. Soil gets good nutrients through an organic means of agriculture.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 88
Vermicomposting is a simple biotechnological process of composting, in which certain species of earthworms are used to enhance the process of waste conversion and produce a better end product. Vermicomposting differs from composting in several ways. It is a mesophilic process, utilizing microorganisms and earthworms which are active at 10-32°C. The process is faster than composting; because the material is passes through the gut of the earthworm and a significant transformation takes place, whereby the resulting earthworm castings (worm manure) are rich in microbial activity and plant growth regulators. In short, earthworms, through a type of biological alchemy, are capable of transforming garbage into usable product.
Objectives:
Laboratory analysis of the compost to assess the micronutrients.
Application of compost on field and performance evaluation of crop.
Methodology:
Study plots were prepared. Construction of Vermicompost unit. Collection of waste from the Hostel and campus, Releasing earthworms to the vermipits. Sowing tomato seeds in the filed. Applying vermicompost and chemical fertilizer in the study plats. Soil Chemical Analysis is carried out to determine the required parameters.
Results and Conclusions:
Compare to plot with chemical fertilizers, plot vermicompost has yielded more in terms of product and biomass. Before the application of the vermicompost, organic carbon in the soil measured was 9.38% and after the addition it was increased to 12.3%. Vermicompost contain nutrients in forms that are taken up by the plants readily, such as nitrates, exchangeable phosphorus and soluble potassium. Vermicomposts promote favorable soil properties such as efficient aeration, easy root penetration and improved water holding capacity.
Scope for future work:
Provision of a sustainable environment in the soil by amending with good quality organic soil additives enhances the water holding capacity and nutrients supplying capacity of soil and also the development of resistance in plants to pests and diseases.
By reducing the time of humification process and by evolving the methods to minimize the loss of nutrients during the course of decomposition, the fantasy becomes fact.

COLLEGE : NMAM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, NITTE GUIDE : MR. ANIL KUMAR H.S. STUDENTS : KALANDER KRISHNA S. K. MANU SUVARNA NABEEL EBRAHIM SAHEB
Introduction:
Biofiltration is a simple low cost pollution control technology used for the treatment of industrial effluent using living materials to capture and biologically degrade the process pollutants. A biofilter is a batch depth filter comprising of simple bed of organic matter or living systems arranged in a series of layers. Biofilters are easy to construct and operate. Biofiltration units can be designed to physically fit into any industrial setting. They can also be designed with stacked beds to minimize the space requirements and multiple units can be run in parallel, different media, microbes and operating conditions can be used to design a biofilter system depending on the mode of operation.
Objective:
To obtain industrial effluent which could be used to understand its properties and the challenges its poses to the environment.
Methodology:
Screening of biological material having filtering or degradation potential. Selection of sand, coconut fibers, water hyacinth roots and Pseudomonas aeruginosa immobilized in sodium alginate as filter beds to be used in construction of the main filter unit.. Pre-processing of Sand was done by acid-base treatment followed by wash with water. Coconut fibers were pre-processed by cutting the fibers into small fragments and washing with water and drying it. Pre-processing of Water Hyacinth Roots was done by selecting fresh fibrous roots and cleaning with water to remove dirt particles. Initially, filtration analysis was done in 50ml. Analytical test: Turbidity test, total dissolved substance (TDS), microbial count, and dye reduction are then carried out.
Results and conclusions:
In the purification of the industrial effluent, significant drop in color as well as in odor was seen when biofilter was used to filter the industrial effluent. The solids that are dissolved in water are termed as total dissolved solids. The considerable reduction in the concentration of dye by biofilter shows its potent application in many microbiology labs and various other life science related labs. Colorless, odorless water was obtained when the dye was filtered using biofilter. n the first place this technology can be used up by industries to meet up their effluent challenges
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 89
by tailoring an appropriate unit. Biofilters are very well useful to reduce contaminants from the effluent without causing any pollution. This technology can be used even in rural areas; where the agricultural lands are constantly exposed to industrial effluent.
Scope and future work:
More attention can also be given on the constitution of the filter unit on a larger scale which would enable better filtering capacity, filtering larger volumes of effluent at a stretch and easy maintenance Recycling and stability and the filter beds hold a key for successful application of any biofilter and these parameters must be standardized accordingly.

COLLEGE : THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, BANGALORE GUIDE : DR. B. K. MANJUNATHA STUDENTS : SURESH S. THOUSIF
Introduction:
Liver disease is still a worldwide health problem. In the view of severe undesirable side effects of synthetic agents, there is growing focus to follow systematic research methodology and to evaluate scientific basis for the traditional herbal medicines that are claimed to possess hepatoprotective activity. Recent research revealed that treatment with multiple antioxidants for people with chronic HCV was well tolerated and has a therapeutic benefit for hepatic inflammation and liver cell death. Therefore, antioxidant therapy can reduce liver inflammation and cell death. The study indicates that antioxidant therapy may have a role in slowing disease progression to cirrhosis.
Objective:
To identify a cost effective safe plant based drug for hepatitis.
Methodology:
The bark of Butea superba was collected from the Western Ghats range of shimoga. About 250 gram of powdered material was defatted by subjecting to soxhlation using Petroleum ether as the solvent for about 48 hours. The marc was re-extracted with Ethanol which gave a reddish residue. The crude drugs obtained were filtered and were subjected to distillation process for removing the solvents and later concentrated in vacuum under reduced pressure using rotary flash evaporator and dried in the dessiccators. The prilimanary phytochemical tests revealed the presence of flavonoid. The crude
extract and flavonoid fraction was subjected to antioxidant studies using DPPH Assay, Scavenging of ABTS Radical and Estimation of Total Phenol Content. The hepatoprotective activity was screened using CCl4 Induced Hepatic Injury Model.
Results and conclusion:
The extent of hepatic damage is assessed by the elevated level of biochemical parameters which is attributed to the generation of trichloromethyl free radical during metabolism by hepatic microsomes which in turn cause peroxidation of lipids of cellular membrane. Histological profile of control animals showed normal hepatocytes, the section of the liver of the toxic control group of animals exhibited severe intense centrilobular necrosis (N), vascuolisation and macrovesicular changes. The present study reveals that the crude extract of the plant Butea superb may serve as an effective agent in the treatment and prevention of CCl4 – induced hepatic cytotoxicity.

COLLEGE : KLS’S GOGTE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BELGAUM GUIDE : PROF. D. M. CHOUDHARI STUDENTS : NISHANT BEJROI PARIMAL PARAG UPADHYAY MD. GULZAR SABA SYED MD. TAUSEEF AHMAD
Introduction:
Movies constitute a large portion of the entertainment industry. Currently several websites host videos and provide users with the facility to browse and watch online. Therefore, automatic genre classification of movies is an important task and with the trends in technology, likely to become far more relevant in near future.
Due to commercial nature of movie productions, movies are always preceded by previews and promotional videos. From an information point of view, previews contain adequate context for genre classification. As mentioned movie directors often follow general rules pertaining to the film genre. Since previws are made from actual movies, these rules are reflected in them as well.
More and more home videos are being generated with the ever growing popularity of digital camers and comcorders. For many home videos, a photo rendering, whether capturing a moment or a scene within the video, provides a complementary representation to the video.
Video mining can be defined as unsupervised discovery of patterns in audio visual content. It is based on detection of known patterns in audio-visual content such as speaker-changes or high motion followed by audience reaction etc.
Video mining is needed when the events we are looking for in a segment of video content are not known. This is often the case in the furvelance video in which most of the videos consist of long stretches of repetitive or “uninteresting” parts occasionally interrupted by unusual or “interesting” parts, which are too diverse to be anticipated in advance.
Video mining is useful for all kinds of genres that spam the gamut from highly produced, such as news video, to spontaneous but constrained such as sports video and further to completely spontaneous, such as surveillance video.
Methodology:
The whole project is devided into three modules namely : 1. Authentication module 2. Histogram module 3. Audio analysis module.
Conclusions:
Domain knowledge and film grammer for video segmentation
Distinguish between the shots of action and non action by analyzing the different frames and their pixel values
Studied the cinematic principles used by the movie directors and mapped low level features.
Provided an automatic method of video content annotation.

81. Q-ROUTING IN DYNAMIC NETWORKS USING MOBILE AGENTS
COLLEGE : KLS’S GOGTE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BELGAUM GUIDE : MR. S. A. KULKARNI STUDENTS : AKASH NARVEKAR HARISH P. G. SIDDESH SAVANT DARSHAN PAWAR
Introduction
In today’s fast growing Internet, traffic conditions changes and failures occur at some parts of the network from time-to time, in unpredictable manner. Therefore, there is a need for an algorithm to manage traffic flows and deliver packets from sources to the destination in a reasonable time. The process of transmitting packets from its source nodes to its destination node d in a network is called routing. Q-Routing was able to route packets more efficiently at higher network loads than the static Shortest Path algorithm. It is also found that Q-Routing is more stable than a straightforward implementation of the distributed Bellman-Ford algorithm, using queue length as metric. A Q-Routing algorithm allows a network to continuously adapt to congestion node failure, or link failure by choosing routes that require the least delivery time or shortest distance. When a route becomes congested or fails, Q-routing learns to avoid that route and uses an alternate optimal path.
Objectives:
Algorithm which have a control over congestion.
Algorithm which provides better packet deliver ratio.
Methodology:
Figure 1 : Block diagram of the system
The Routing Manager and Dispatcher are present at each node. The Routing manager is responsible for routing table calculations. The Dispatcher takes care of dispatching of aglets for supporting the routing operation and packet generation. Packet Generator generates the packet at some fixed rate.
Result and Conclusion
From the graphs it is seen that the delivery time required to reach the destination for 5 packets, 20 packets and 300 packets are studied. Q-routing also takes care of the failed node or congestion after every packet transfer hence the number of drop packets are less in case of Q-routing. Which leads to have better Packet delivery ratio in case of Q-routing compare to Bellman Ford algorithm.
Scope for future work:
Extending Q-Routing in mobile Ad-hoc networks.
The quantity of exploration in Q-Routing by making use of the backward direction of exploration.

COLLEGE : JAWAHARLAL NEHRU NATIONAL COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, SHIMOGA GUIDE : MR. JALESH KUMAR STUDENTS : RANGANATH S. N. SANDEEP S. VIJETH D. K. VINOD KUMAR K. S.
Introduction
In these days, the universal electronic connectivity, of viruses and hackers, of electronic eavesdropping and electronic fraud, there is indeed no time at which security does not matter. First, the explosive growth in computer systems and their interconnections via networks has increased the dependence of both organizations and individuals on the information stored and communicated using these systems. This, in turn, has led to a heightened awareness of the need to protect data and resources from disclosure, to guarantee the authenticity of data and messages, and to protect systems from network-based attacks. Second, the disciplines of cryptography and network security have matured, leading to the development of practical, readily available applications to enforce network security.
Objectives:
To design and develop a secure key stream generator
To design and implement an algorithm for encryption and decryption for images
To develop authentication technique based on the concept of genetic algorithm
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 93
Methodology:
The encryption of the given file takes place in many steps such as key generation, message authentication, first crossover, mutation and second crossover which are implemented as different modules. The working of Dataguard is diagrammatically represented. The original file which may contain confidential information has to be sent from sender to the recipient. In Dataguard, initial keys must be provided by the sender for the key generation process. The keys generated are used in authentication, crossing-over and mutation processes. The crossing-over and mutation processes, used with keys, are used to scramble the input file. After the second cross-over process, the file will be completely encrypted. The encrypted file is transmitted across the network to the recipient. In the recipient’s side, the initial keys have to be provided which must be same as that provided by the sender for the successful decryption. The same processes are performed at the receiver side in the reverse order to get the decrypted file which will be same as that of the original file.
Sender Recipient
Results and conclusion:
The user interface of Dataguard is allows user to select the type (Text/Image) of the file and accepts the filename. The use of genetic algorithm for the encryption is an efficient technique in the field of cryptography. The key generation technique used in Dataguard tries to achieve one-time padding since a large number of keys are generated. Hence it is difficult for the cryptanalyst to get back the original message.
Scope for Future work:
Dataguard can be made to work also for audio and video files with further enhancement.
The complexity of the algorithm can be increased by increasing the number of iterations of crossover and mutations.
Using dynamic approach for crossover and mutation, the limitation of file size can be removed.
83. CONTENT AUTHENTICATION OF DIGITAL IMAGES USING FRAGILE AND SEMI-FRAGILE WATERMARKING
COLLEGE : JAWAHARLAL NEHRU NATIONAL COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, SHIMOGA GUIDE : MR. CHETAN K. R. STUDENTS : AKHILA M. ANUPAMA M. S. NIKITHA V. SHRUTHI S. V.
Introduction
The digital image is easy to edit, modify and exploit and at the same time, image editing programs are becoming more powerful so that even an amateur can maliciously modify digital images and create perfect forgeries without leaving any trace on the original image. So there is a need of authenticity. Authentication is said to be “Exact” if the system detects the slightest changes. Some applications do not need exact authentication and only require some selective places in the work to be authenticated, which is known as “Selective” authentication. Previous systems were using spatial domain and some used messages digest for fragile watermarking. Wavelet coefficient technique and signature based techniques were used in semi-fragile watermarking.
Objectives:
To authenticate and protect the integrity of digital images.
To identify the incidental and intentional attacks on digital images.
Methodology:
There are two types of Content Authentication System. Exact Authentication – is achieved through fragile watermarking. In this scheme, the security requirement is to reject any message that has been altered to the slightest degree. A signature is
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 94
extracted from each block of the image and is inserted in that block. Extraction of this signature and appropriate parameters for computation are analyzed in this project. The system comprises of Embedder and Authenticator modules.
Selective Authentication - is achieved through Semi-fragile watermarking. The proposed technique is based on eigen values and eigen vectors of real symmetric matrix generated by the pair of four pixels. A signature bit for detecting malicious tampering of an image is generated using domainant eigen vector. The dominant eigen value can reduce the sensitivity of quantization based watermarking. Because of the orthogonality property of real symmetric matrix, its possible to combine both superiority of watermark-based and signature-based semi-fragile watermarking technology for image authentication in this method to improve the robustness against malicious tampering and also resist high quality JPEG compression processing.
Results and conclusions:
The extraction function (Authenticator) recovers the fragile watermark information from the received watermarked data. The fragile watermarking algorithm shows a very high data payload to fidelity trade-off when compared to existing watermarking algorithms. It is a logical consequence since at most two bits are flipped when embedding number of bits equal to log (blocksize). It provides very high level of security. In order to improve the detection of malicious tampering of images, it is necessary to decrease the fragility of hidden watermarks, even for digital images which have been distorted incidentally. Semi-fragile watermarking designed is fragile to intentional attacks and robust to incidental attacks.
The future work should focus on recovery and a design of “invertible” watermarking. Semi-fragile system based on EVRSM should be enhanced to be robust against geometrical attacks and distortions.

85. MECHANISMS FOR TEMPORAL PARTITIONING OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OF AN INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURE AND ASSESMENT OF PERFORMANCE
COLLEGE : JSS ACADEMY OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION, BANGALORE GUIDE : MR. SHARANA BASAVANA GOWDA STUDENTS : DAULAT SINGH BHADAURIA PRADEEP KUMAR N. SUNAYANA S.
Introduction:
Integrated architectures in the automotive and avionic domain promise improved resource utilization and enable a better coordination of application subsystems compared to federated systems. In order to support a seamless system integration without unintended side effects in such an integrated architecture, it is important to ensure that the software components do not interfere through the use of these shared resources. For this reason, the DECOS integrated architecture encapsulates application subsystems and their constituting software components. Due to encapsulation, the temporal properties of messages sent by a software component are independent from the behavior of other software components, in particular from those within other application subsystems
Objective nodule:
Development of Inner-Node Partitioning module
Encapsulation module
Mediation of Data Flow module
Virtual networks module
Message Timing module
Methodology:
The invariance of the temporal properties of a communication system comprising multiple VNs is subject to comprehensive tests. It provides experimental evidence for the guaranteed temporal properties of the message exchanges. Two experimental campaigns systematically explore different scenarios for the behavior of software components at the communication system. It also assess the effects of faulty software components. By comparing the observed performance with the bandwidth and latency requirements of present-day and upcoming automotive applications, it demonstrate that a communication system with rigid
temporal partitioning can also support a competitive temporal performance.
System Architecture
Results and conclusion:
This project has shown that a time-triggered physical network is an effective foundation for establishing multiple VNs, each tailored to a respective application subsystem via its control paradigm (event message versus state messages) and its temporal properties (for example, bandwidth). The experimental assessment has yielded evidence that the realized VNs exhibit predefined temporal properties for the messages transmitted by a job, independent of the transmission behavior of other jobs and other application subsystems. In particular, rigid temporal partitioning is achievable while at the same time meeting the performance requirements imposed by present-day automotive applications and those envisioned for the future (for example, X-by-wire). These results are particularly important in the context of the increasing complexity of embedded systems. System architects become forced to follow divide-and-conquer strategies that permit a reduction of the mental effort for developing and understanding a large system by partitioning the system into smaller subsystems that can be developed and analyzed in isolation.
Scope for future work:
To design and implement the required inter partition communication schemes that will provide a reliable channel between partitions and allow for both one-to-one and broadcast type of communication.

32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 96
Introduction:
The Power Sector in the country sustains a loss of over 25-30% because of pilferage of electricity, which is a major cause of concern to all of us. The weakest cog in the wheel is the human element involved in the reading of the meters and also the easy accessibility of the meters to the customers, a large number of whom tamper with it. A solution to this ever burgeoning problem would be to eliminate the human element involved on the part of meter reading. This can be done with a set of technologies called AMR (Automated Meter Reading) or RMR (Remote Meter Reading). AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) is a technology gives utilities the ability to obtain meter-reading values remotely without having to physically visit and manually read the customer's electric meter. AMR allows us to collect an actual meter reading without entering your property to read your meter, giving customers better control of their use of electric energy, gas usage, or water consumption. The reading on your meter is transmitted through various transmission rmats and protocols like GPRS, RF, RS 485, PLC (Power Line Carrier).
Objectives:
To monitor the energy meter reading by digitally, wherein the energy meter is connected to our microcontroller via interfacing circuit.
Methodology:
Meter reading to accounting units through GSM modem. Reading, billing at corresponding accounting units. Reading and billing data transferred to Remote station (PC) as well. Monitoring at Central Control Room. Billing Application at Remote station (PC).
Results and conclusion:
The system is developed using an object oriented approach class testing is done at unit level and functional testing at system level. The use of GSM in this particular system provides numerous advantages over methods that have been previously used data transmission is charged at standard sms rates, thus the charges are not based on the duration of data transmission. The cost efficient transmission of reading ensures that power consumption values can be transmitted more frequently to remote station.
87. ATM USING FINGER PRINTS COLLEGE : KNS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANGALORE GUIDE : MR. S. C. LINGAREDDY STUDENTS : PAVITHRA R. JYOTHI H. M. SHREE NANDINI ANAND T. S.
Introduction
The main aim of this project is to make the ATM machine accessible by everyone with enhanced security. ATM is an acronym for Automated Teller Machine, a machine at a bank branch or other location which enables a customer to perform basic banking activities even when the bank is closed. ATM provides self-service banking machine that connects to a host computer through a network. The major requirement is to develop a tool that helps the user to access the ATM more securely. The solution to the problem is to use biometric technology as security. Biometrics consists of automated methods of recognizing a person based on unique physical characteristic. Among many biometric technologies such as person's fingerprint, iris, voice pattern or even facial pattern, person’s finger print is most effective due to low cost and high accuracy. So in this ATM system fingerprint technique is used instead of CARD and PIN.
Objectives:
To provide most effective and low cost ATM machine.
To provide high accuracy.
To enable uneducated people to access ATM without any difficulty of remembering passwords.
Methodology:
Technology Used: Touch screen and finger print reader technology used.
Components Used: Power Supply 5v DC-7805, Micro controller-AT89S52-Atmel, PC, Serial Communication-MAX 232, Finger Print reader, Touch screen, Note dispenser.
Softwares Used: Embedded C, Visual Basics.
Results and conclusion:
This application provides the accessing of ATM in all time at any ATM centre more securely with accuracy and consistency. The application is basically built using Visual Basic 6 with MS-Access. The developed application works on a Windows environment with the application installed on a Windows machine.
A team of organized criminals is installing equipment on legitimate bank ATMs in at least 2 regions to steal both the ATM card number and the PIN. The team sits nearby in a car receiving the information transmitted wirelessly over weekends and evenings from equipment they install on the front of the ATM
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 97
The equipment used to capture your ATM card number and PIN is cleverly disguised to look like normal ATM equipment. A "skimmer" is mounted to the front of the normal ATM card slot that reads the ATM card number and transmits it to the criminals sitting in a nearby car.
At the same time, a wireless camera is disguised to look like a leaflet holder and is mounted in a position to view ATM PIN entries.
The thieves copy the cards and use the PIN numbers to withdraw thousands from many accounts in a very short time directly from the bank ATM.
The solution to the problem is to use biometric technology as security.
Scope for future work:
This project can be upgraded from finger print sensors to face recognition sensor.
The user will also have a privilege of uploading his money at the ATM centre.

Initially the joystick is tilted to control the movement of the robot. SPI interface is enabled and is made master. The X, Y, Z axes are enabled in the accelerometer and their values are available to the external world through SPI interface. These values are compared with predetermined threshold values and based on that commands for forward, reverse, right, left and stop are sent to the modulator.
In the modulator the frequency is changed to carrier frequency by HT12E encoder and transmitted using RF 433MHz transmitter and PCB antenna. On the robot microcontroller, Port A, Port C are initialised as output ports and Port D as input port.
The decoder checks its address thrice for valid transmission and then data is sent to Port D of the ATmega32. If valid transmission takes place then, LED on the robot goes high. This data from Port D is sent to Port C through registers which is given to the motor drivers and hence the robot moves accordingly.

Introduction
Auto dialing system is designed to acknowledge a particular person about the accidents taking place at home by giving call to that person. Here we have used GSM service to acknowledge a particular person. The user activates the system just by switching ON the power supply. Once the auto dialer unit is activated and when the fire, Gas leakage, theft, unauthorized opening of door takes place it is detected by the sensor and this control signal is given to the control unit. The microcontroller unit is activating the GSM mobile. The auto-dialer unit gives the warning information to the particular person mobile.
Methodology:
Once the auto dialer is activated IR transmitter transmits IR rays continuously and IR receiver senses the IR rays and converts it into electrical signal until and unless there is no interruption. On receiving the signal, microcontroller executes the program and drives the mobile to dial. A switch is used to illustrate the opening of door. To drive any output device to provide the required output voltage for their working. When the control signal comes from

96. AUTO TAPPING SYSTEM USING RF SPECTRUM ANALYZER
COLLEGE : BAPUJI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, DAVANGERE GUIDE : MS. NIRMALA S. O. STUDENTS : MANJUNATH REDDY B. V. SHIVARAJA CHARI G. R. KIRAN KUMAR A. P. PRAVEEN KUMAR K.
Introduction:
Auto Tapping System using RF Spectrum Analyzer is a perfect tool for easing the job of such security agencies. Basically this project is an automatic system, which is designed to monitor the chosen area for an unauthorized RF Spectrum utilization. So typically, the project will be set to scan mode round the clock, and when it intercepts an unauthorized RF activity in that area, it stops scanning and alerts the operator to keep track of the communication it has detected. Further the project also starts recording the communication with the aid of a tape recorder so that one can decode that communication and retrieve a meaningful information about the anti-social organizations.
Objective:
A step towards easing out the job for the RF monitoring authority involved in such RF scanning & monitoring projects.
Methodology:
The circuit consists of 2 antennae for picking up RF signals. Each antenna is connected to a RF receiver. Here the signals picked up by the antenna are amplified and detected. Outputs of the RF receiver are fed to respective Band Pass Filters for filtering out the unwanted signals.
Filtered output from each band pass filter is multiplexed into a single stream signal using an encoder. Analog output of the encoder is converted to digital data using an A/D converter. Digitized data is passed on to the I/O interfacing card of the PC via
a Signal Data Converter. Buffer is used for isolation of the PC from the rest of the circuit. Strength of the RF signals present in the surroundings is displayed on the monitor of the PC.
In addition to displaying the signal strength on the PC screen this system will also drive the rotors of the antennae so as to adjust their position to maximum signal strength. Output of the buffer is applied to the driver stage which is responsible for driving additional device drivers. Additional device drivers will drive the rotors of the antennae.
RF RECEIVER :
1) RF RECEIVER UNIT
2) DIGITAIZER UNIT
The VHF receiver used for demonstrating the functioning of the project. As seen there in the above block diagram, the output of the VHF / RF receiver unit is connected to the digitizer system thorough an opto-coupler circuit. This is a safe end noise free method of coupling of VHF receiver to the digitizer. Job of the opto-coupler is to convert the output from the RF / VHF receiver to light, and then transfer them to the digitizer unit. The significance of this opto-coupler is that, all electrical & other RF noise possible present in the RF / vhf receiver are filtered out. There by generating only variable dc output. As the strength of the vhf / RF Receiver depends upon various factors like strength of the RF source, amplitude of the data present in that and also other factors like type of the antenna used etc., and can approximate the signal to suitable scale, so that that received signal can be represented on a display device like PC / CRO.
In real time application, the project is configured to take the inputs from a wide band commercial receiver, but as the commercial wide band receivers cost in terms of lakhs.
Instrumentation amplifer block : The output of opto-coupler will be very feeble to drive any further sections. So some kind of amplification is needed before utilizing that sensed signals. This amplification
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 103
is done using reliable amplifier circuit called Instrumentation Amplifier. This Amplifier, as name implies, is specially used in Instrumentation field to amplifies the weak sensed field signals from various sensors spread all over the area.
A.D.C : The conversion of Analogue signals received from Instrumentation Amplifier Block is done using this A.D.C block. The Analogue-To-Digital Converter block converts any inputted signals, which are in analogue form, into digital form. This is necessary as computer understands digital form data and processes them very quickly. The output of A.D.C is given to I/O Interface block, through Buffer stage, to pass the signals from A.D.C to Computer.
Micro-Controller Unit: The project employs 89C51 microcontroller for the data conversion purpose. This chip is from ATMEL Corporation, and follows 8051 architecture of Intel Corporation. The advantage of this IC is that, it has onboard user accessible 4 K EEPROM, so that one can burn the program on this chip directly. This eliminates the usage of an external EEPROM memory chip. Here the job of the Microcontroller is to provide connectivity between the ADC and PC. This is essential to convert the parallel data generated by the ADC 0809 to PC / Serial Compatible data. With the aid of this microcontroller, this objective is achieved.
Advantages:
Fully automatic system to detect, intercept & alert the operator about the potential illegal radio frequency communication.
Cost effective as it is based on conventional PC, there by eliminating the special hardware.
Gives the graphical representation of the user interface, thus making simpler to use.
Flexible and can easily customize the project.
Conclusion:
The main aim of this project is to prevent anti- social activities through walky-talkies, Basically this project is an automatic system, which is designed to monitor the chosen area for an unauthorized RF Spectrum utilization. The further developments on the project may make it further compact.
Scope for future work:
By using universal receivers we can cover all frequency range .
A speaking voice alarm could be used instead of the normal buzzer.
By using various advanced decryption algorithms, easily decrypt the message sent by unauthorized person.

COLLEGE : BAPUJI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, DAVANGERE GUIDE : MS. G. H. LEELA STUDENTS : BASAVARAJA M. MOHAMED MUJAHID K. RAGHAVENDRA PRASAD N. O. RANJITH BIDRI
Introduction
Habitat loss and fragmentation is threatening the survival of species across the world. Combine this with unsustainable illegal poaching, and much of India's wildlife, including elephants, is under threat.
The replacement of forest habitat with agriculture has led to the emergence of conflict between elephants and humans. As their habitat becomes fragmented and degraded, elephants come into more frequent contact with both domestic and commercial plantations and farms. Annually elephants have been reported to damage millions of rupees worth of agricultural crops and hundreds of people are killed. This can then also lead to the killing of hundreds of elephants in retaliation to this conflict.
Adding to this, domestic crop can also be more palatable to elephants than their wild forage, leading them to raid crops, even when they have other alternatives.Damaging crops, and sometimes injuring people, many elephants have been killed in retaliation.
Objective:
To design an effective Elephant Intrusion Alarm System that can help both the farmers and the elephants as well.
The proposed project will have the following features.
Low power consumption.
An alarm system to ward off intruding elephants
An alarm system to warn villagers about intrusions
Sensors to detect intrusion
A PC based alarm system to warn local forest officers about intrusions and location of the intrusion.
Methodology:
This is a brief description of our project entitled “Location Based Wild Animal Intrusion Alarm System”. This contains the following three units:
Field set up Farmer’s home setup Forest office setup.
Field Setup : The Field is equipped with the microcontroller along with the IR sensors to detect the wild life intrusions along with RF ASK transmitter
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 104
to send the detected data to the farmer’s home and as well to the nearest forest office.
Figure 1. Intrusion alarm system in fields
Farmer’s Home Setup: The microcontroller in the farmer’s home will be continuously monitoring its ports data to which RF receiver is connected. Upon receiving the valid data it turns on the buzzer system to alarm the farmer about the intrusion of wild animal in his field.
Figure 2. Alarm system in farmer’s home
Forest Office Setup: The microcontroller in the forest office will be continuously monitoring its ports data to which RF receiver is connected. Upon receiving any data it does the following two tasks.
1. Turns on the buzzer
2. It sends the received data to the PC which shows the point of intrusion
Figure 3. Location based Alarm system in forest office
Results
When there was an intrusion in the field by wild animal (Elephant) , the field set up successfully detected the intrusion, turned ON the siren and
transmitted the alarm signal to forest office as well as to the corresponding farmer’s home through RF transmitter.
In farmer’s home upon receiving its alarm signal, microcontroller successfully turned ON the buzzer. In forest office after receiving alarm signal from field, the PC is highlighted to show the intruded region and meanwhile it turns ON buzzer to alert forest officers.
Conclusion:
Currently the people who have suffered from the wild life intrusions have gone for electric fencing which has resulted in the threat for intruded wild life. Our project clearly overcomes this disadvantage and with certain modifications can be implemented in wild life intrusion affected regions.
Scope for future work:
More accurate sensors like PIR sensors and LASER can be used.
For long distance communication, GSM module has to be implemented in which alarm signal can be sent to farmer’s mobile in the form of SMS.

Introduction
Proper Utilization of electrical power is where the terminals of the energy meters are connected to the respective terminals of the supply wires and the loads. The pilferage of power is done by the consumers where the terminals of load are left open; the loads are directly tapped to the supply terminal. This type of pilferage will benefit the consumers since they will escape from paying the electricity bill. About 15-20% energy losses during transmission and distribution. Even some of the consumers are contributing for this energy crisis by power theft, which is affecting the economy of our country.

Results and conclusion:
An attempt is made to show a prototype model of Power Theft detecting circuit, which can be implemented practically and may reduce the percentage of pilferage of power. Thus by using PIC, one can easily recognize the theft occurring in any Energy Meter even for a short duration without manual inspection. This system provides most economic and wireless theft detection method.
Scope for future work:

105. BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATED ATM (AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE)
COLLEGE : COORG INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, PONNEMPET, SOUTH KODAGU GUIDE : MR. SATISHA STUDENTS : AVINASH R. KEERTHI V. URS RAGHAVENDRA K. M. B. SHRYNIK JAIN
Introduction
This paper studies the ATM based on fingerprint encryption/authentication scheme for banking systems. In this scheme, the system authenticates each user by authenticating biometrics (fingerprint). The proposed scheme is fast and secure.
A Bio metric Authenticated Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is a computerized device that provides the customers of a financial institution with access to financial transactions in a public space without the need for a human clerk or bank teller. On most modern ATMs, the customer is identified by
inserting a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smartcard with a chip, that contains a unique card number and some security information, such as an expiration date etc. Security is provided by the customer entering a personal identification number (PIN).In this project we have replaced the ATM card with the finger print scanner.
The server end contains a SQL back end holding the data base of the costumer and the front end is designed using the visual studio the code for the server end software is written in VB.NET. All the hardware coding is written in assembly level language.
Objective:
• The main objective of the project is to have a highly secure ATM machine.
• To use a finger print as the authentication tool.
• Minimize the risk of the ATM user by avoiding the Smart card.
• To avoid the misuse of smart cards.
Methodology:
This project is mainly designed using the 89s52 microcontroller. A CRT monitor is used for the user interface with a AVR Atmega 8 display controller. A key pad is used for user interface. Serial communication is done between the server and the ATM by using RS 232.
ATM:
All the communication between the ATM and the server is done by the main microcontroller. The main microcontroller connects to the server using the RX and TX pins. The main microcontroller also controllers all the on board devices of the ATM machine directly or indirectly. The direct device that is controlled by the microcontroller is the key pad (4x4). The indirect devices controlled by the ATM are the display, fingerprint scanner, money tending machine, dot matrix printer. The indirectly controlled devices are controlled through serial and parallel communication through microcontrollers. The display is controlled through 2 ports and finger print scanner
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 110
is controlled through 1 port. The money tending machine and the receipt printer is controlled serially.
The display controller is also a 89s52 microcontroller it receives commands from the master controller and send the data’s to be displayed on the CRT serially to the AVR Atmega 8 display controller. The display controller holds all the data’s that has to be displayed on the CRT.
The finger print scanner SM630 is used to scan the used finger for authentication the finger print receiver the command from the master regarding its nature of operation. The commands given to the FPS are hex command the FPS controller stores all the hex commands necessary to activate the FPS. The FPS communicates serially so the hex commands are sent serially to the FPS by the FPS controller. The out put of the FPS is directly sent to the server for verification.
The receipt printer and the money tending machine are controller by there respective controllers. The dot matrix printer works when we feed it with serial data by the microcontroller. The money tending machine is determined by the number of notes to be tended. The command to tend money is given by the receipt printing microcontroller.
Server:
The server communicates to the ATM by the means of serial communication it provides all the commands to the ATM machine for each process. All the user data is stored and verified on the server.
Conclusion:
Through this independent study, we have come to develop a greater appreciation for real-world engineering. By going through the initial stages of the product development cycle-from initial design concept to a working prototype-we have come to realize that engineering is more about cost/benefit analysis.
This project has also allowed us to use what we have learned in the classroom and to apply it to a practical application.
Security to the data/information is the need of the hour. In Biometric authenticated ATM, we are providing an advanced, reliable and a very secure technology to provide security to the ATM. For this we are using fingerprint of the user as the pass code to access any information required for him/her. A user will be allowed to access the required information and perform the required operation only after his fingerprint is authenticated by the server.
Fingerprint of a person being very unique identity, it prevents any unauthorized access to users’ data. With this, the purpose of providing security to the system by restricting any unauthorized access to the system is achieved to a great extent. Thus the technology we are using here provides a high degree of security to the system thus fulfilling the whole intention of the project with great reliability.
106. MYSTIC EYE – AN INSIGHT INTO DEPTH
COLLEGE : GHOUSIA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, RAMANAGARAM GUIDE : MR. ANIL KUMAR M.N. STUDENTS : PRADEEP R. RANGANATH D. G. SANJAY R. MEHTA
Introduction:
Complex bio-chemical reactions take place within a living being’s cell consisting of cytoplasm, nucleus, nucleons etc. From quantum theory of Physics energy radiations are emitted from an atom when an electron gets excited from lower energy level to higher energy level and then jumps back to lower energy level due to un-stability .This excitation of electron happens during chemical reaction. Same thing happens within a living being’s cell emitting radiations. Hence each cell is considered as miniature radiator.
The amount of energy liberated from the radiations is dependent on parameters like temperature, pressure, Ph – value, humidity etc within a cell. These parameters in-turn depend on mental status and emotions of living beings.
The bio-electric field is exploited to make out the changes in the complex functioning in living beings
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 111
body. This is used as basis to build the “Mystic eye” device.
Objectives:
To build a device to detect:
Mental and emotional status of a living being. Malfunctioning of any organ in the body long
before the physical symptoms appear. Ripening, deficiency and reaction of crops to
fertilizers. Toxic level of water in rivers and lakes. The Finger prints of badly damaged finger, not
possible using present technology. Metal properties.
Methodology:
The device consists of the following components:
Wavelength or frequency detector. Microcontroller. Transformer. LCD display Transducer (ADC). Transparent glass discharge plate (Tin oxide
glass + silver epoxy + single sided copper clad board).
Tungsten and day light film. High voltage wires.
Basic block diagram of the Mystic eye device:
Basic discharge plate set up:
Steps involved:
1. Applying high voltage to transparent discharge plate: High voltage is applied to the discharge plate to create a very high electric field by
capacitance effect to intensify the radiations emitted from object under the discharge plate.
2. Wave length detection: Wave length detector is used to detect the wave length of the radiation emitted from the object (living or non-living being).
3. Analog to digital conversion: A transducer that is analog to digital converter is used to convert analog wave length into digital output with specific magnitude corresponding to each wavelength (color) distinctly, which is fed to micro-controller as an input.
4. Analysis in micro-controller: The digital output from the transducer, that is magnitude corresponding to a specific wave length is used to find wave length (color) using look up table technique.
Based on color detected the details of the object are addressed using another look up table.
5. Displaying details: Details addressed in the micro-controller are displayed on the LCD module.
6. Verification with physical interruption: Color films are exposed in total darkness, which gives striking color transparencies. This physical interpretation is verified with the Mystic eye analysis.
Results:
The concept of this project can be practically accomplished but due to some following technical reasons it has not developed completely.
1. Inconsistency of devices. 2. Non-Compatibility of high voltage with device of
specified rating. 3. Variance in a sheet resistance on tin oxide
coated glass.
Radiation emission can be predicated by vibration of metal under high voltage.
Conclusion:
The mystic device built can be used to explore the hidden forces in the living beings. This device cannot be solely considered as a tool in analyzing the object under consideration. It can be considered as one of the devices for analysis along with the other tools available. The device should not be used for pregnant women and heart patients having pace makers as it involves high voltage. The output of the device can be taken valid if it tallies with the output of other related techniques.
This model can be considered as an attempt to build a device which can detect a especially human emotions which can be considered as a much accurate device.

Introduction
This system is designed to help the paralyzed person who moves on a wheel chair. Instead of the handicapped person moves the wheel chair by his hand, the chair will automatically move to a particular direction as the patient moves his eyes towards a direction, with the help of Eye ball movement detection sensor. The chair will also sense the obstacles in front of it and gives a beep sound. An electric wheelchair can be moved on controlling the motors attached to wheel shaft by operating joystick lever located by the hand. This requires great skill and it is impossible for the paralyzed peoples.
Objective:
This project directs on the development of a robotic wheelchair system based on infrared occulography.The system allows the user to tell the robot where to move and will carry out that navigational task using common sensical constraints, such as avoiding collision.
The principle of occulography has been used in the principle of eye ball sensor. Oculography is a method of recording of eye movement and eye position. The eye position is recorded in terms of analog voltage and then converted into digital form. This is then given to microcontroller which makes the corresponding decisions like to turn left, urn right and move straight. These commands are then given to stepper motor. Then stepper motor rotates as per the command.
Methodology:
Master Controller: This part consists of microcontroller and its associated circuits like power supply circuit and reset circuit and its crystal interface and I/O interface which monitors, controls and co-ordinates the tasks. The controller is all so responsible for communicating with the card and authenticates the card.
Eye ball Movement Sensor: This is used to sense the movement of the eye ball’s direction and converts it into digital data and transfers it to the Master controller. (Straight Command, Left/Right Command, Stop Command)
OptoCoupler with Stepper Driver Board: The need of Optocoupler is to isolate the Interface Board form the Stepper Motor to restrict any high voltage to the Interface board.
Stepper Power Supply: The power module converts the 120 V 60 Hz AC input from wall socket into 5V DC to power up the Microcontroller, the LCD, the Keypad and the two relay switches. This board contains the power Supply for the stepper motor and relay driver.
The Beeper: This takes a square wave signal from the Microcontroller and produces a monotone sound of specific frequency
Sensors for Artificial Intelligence: Sensors are provided to achieve this task.
Result and conclusion:
The project is aimed towards developed a usable, intermediate-cost assistive robotic wheelchair system for disabled people. In this work, a system can be used as a means of control allowing the handicapped, especially those with only eyemotor coordination, to live more independent lives.
Eye movements require minimum effort and direct selection techniques, and this increase the response time and the rate of information flow. Some of the previous wheelchair robotics research are restricted a particular location and in many areas of robotics, environmental assumptions can be made that simplify the navigation problem.

Introduction:
Electronic Nose (e-Nose) is a device used to detect and recognize odors/vapors, i.e., a machine olfaction device with an array of chemical sensors.
The most common use of the e-Nose is within the food and drink industries. In addition, e-Nose can be used in other areas such as petroleum qualitative and quantitative analysis, detection of explosives, classification and degradation studies of olive oils, development in the field of odor detection for environmental applications, quality control applications in the automotive industry, discrimination between clean and contaminated cows' teats in a milking system, cosmetic raw materials analysis, and many other important areas such as the medical and space fields.
The principle of e-Nose is that it uses an array of sensors, whether in the form of different types of polymers or via the use of metal oxide semiconductors.
Objective:
The main objective of this project is:
To make use of a sensor to detect and recognize the sample.
To develop database of recognition patterns for various samples.
To test the ability of the electronic nose to accurately classify unknown samples.
To discriminate between good and bad samples.
Methodology
The e-nose system basically consists of 3 main units or functional blocks viz., Sensing Unit, Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Unit, and Computing Unit, which are shown in the figure below:
Figure : Block diagram of e-nose.
The sensing unit consists of the sensor circuitry which includes fan and sensor. A fixed volume of sample which is to be tested is taken in the test tube which is kept in the sample holder and then the sensor is made to sniff the sample. After sensing the sample, the sensor unit is being blown with air in order to remove the sensed odor from the sensing chamber using a fan, this helps to improve response time considerably.
The data acquisition and signal processing unit consists of hold circuit and an analog to digital converter (ADC). The hold circuit takes the sensed output voltage from the sensor circuitry. This circuit consists of two voltage followers and a charging / discharging unit. This circuit holds the voltage for a time that will be sufficient for ADC to process the incoming analog signal. The ADC (0808CCN) is being used to convert the incoming analog signal from the hold circuit to the digital format which is then fed to the computing unit for further computations.
The computing circuit consists of microcontroller which is the heart of the whole circuitry which performs the function of detection and adulteration of the sample given. The microcontroller combines the responses of the sensor, which becomes the input to the data treatment. This data treatment includes the intelligent pattern recognition engine for classification, analysis and declaration.
Other circuits such as display circuit for displaying, power supply circuitry for giving power to the different units of the e-nose, etc., are used.
The e-nose developed, detects the following samples:
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 115
1. Kerosene
2. Petrol
3. LPG
The e-nose also checks for the quality of the petrol.
Conclusion:
The e-nose was able to detect the odors of kerosene, petrol and LPG. Using this property, the e-nose is able to determine the quality of petrol. Hence, e-nose developed was able to achieve the objectives set.
Scope of future work:
By changing the type of the sensor and some modifications in the circuitry, e-nose can be used in different R&D laboratories, quality control laboratories and in production departments.

arm, a person without a leg can survive with a set of crutches and also a person who does not have both legs or arms can make use of a wheelchair equipped with a joystick. But no facilities are provided for people who are paralyzed totally and are only capable of speaking. Hence, implementing a voice controlled wheelchair that is designed keeping in mind that speech is the only way with which they can overcome their disability.
The voice controlled wheelchair makes use of an intelligent voice recognition system. This voice recognition system, along with a micro-controller and a set of motors control the speed and direction of the wheelchair.
This system is capable of accepting a predefined set of voice commands. Depending on the input command, appropriate action is carried out to move the wheelchair in the required direction.
The basic idea is taken from a voice controlled toy-car, which has been implemented to automate a wheelchair.
Objective
The aim of this project is to implement an application using small vocabulary word recognition system. The methodology adopted is based on grouping a microcontroller with a speech recognition system for isolated word from a dependent speaker. The resulting design is used to control a wheel chair for a handicapped person based on the vocal command. It therefore involves the recognition of isolated words from a limited vocabulary. The system is easy, not bulky, with low power consumption and easy in operation.
Methodology
Block Diagram:
Circuit Description: The designed module is shown in the block diagram, which consists of the following components: the speech recognition system, which is the heart of the vocal command system. An interface to control the motors of the wheelchair. A microphone with minimum sensitivity is used and the system is fed by a power supply.
Voice Recognition System: A speech processor is used which is voice specific and hence will accept commands only from the patient (wheelchair user).
An IC-HM2007 is used for this purpose, which when interfaced an external 8KX8 SRAM (HM6264) memory and a keypad, an intelligent speech recognition system can be built. The processor responds to a set of 4-8 commands which enables the wheelchair to move in all the four directions.
Microcontroller: It accepts an input from speech recognition system and processes it. The output is then fed to the interfaced driver circuit to control the motor. Microcontroller AT89C51 has been used.
Motor Driver: It is used to enable the bi-directional motion of the motor and also for speed control. To implement this bi-directional control, a H-bridge circuit with IC-L293D.
Motors: DC permanent magnet brushed two motors (12V, 500mA).
Conclusion
The implementation easily enables a paralyzed or physically challenged person to lead a near-normal life and move independently in all the four direction without any manual assistance using few voice commands.The advantages of the system are it is voice specific, easy to carry, no bulky, with low power consumption, and easy in operation.
Future Scope

Objectives:
The main objective of this project is to simplify activities at toll gate by using RF technology, to decrease man power and to save time.
Methodology:
RF Transmitter Module
RF Rx Module used in remote control applications where low cost and longer range is required. The transmitter operates from a 1.5-12V supply, making it ideal for battery-powered applications. The transmitter employs a SAW-stabilized oscillator, ensuring accurate frequency control for best range performance. Output power and harmonic emissions are easy to control, making FCC and ETSI compliance easy.
OOK (On Off Keying) modulation is a binary form of amplitude modulation. When a logical 0 (data line Low) is being sent, the transmitter is off, fully suppressing the carrier. In this state, the transmitter current is very low, less than 1mA. When a logical 1 is being sent, the carrier is fully on. In this state, the module current consumption is at its highest, about 11mA with a 3V power supply. OOK is the modulation method of choice for remote control applications where power consumption and cost are the primary factors. Because OOK transmitters draw no power when they transmit a 0, they exhibit significantly better power consumption than FSK transmitters. OOK data rate is limited by the start-up time of the oscillator. High-Q oscillators which have very stable center frequencies take longer to start-up than low-Q oscillators. The start-up time of the oscillator determines the maximum data rate that the transmitter can send.
Receiver (RF ID Reader)
The full circuit of the projects is shown in schematic diagram the brain of the receiver is the Pre programmed micro controller. The circuits comprise 89S52 micro controller (U2), 434MHZ RF receiver module, relay, buzzer, and MAX232, RS232 Voltage Level Converter. 89S52 is an 8-bit CMOS micro controller. Its internal circuitry reducing the need for external components, thus reducing the cost and power consumption and enhancing the system reliability. 89s52 is an 8-bit, low-cost, high-performance flash micro controller. Its key features are 4k words of flash program memory, 192 bytes of data RAM.
Results and conclusions:
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 119
The automated toll collection will fasten activities at toll gate there by saving time and reducing man power. Alcohol detection will ensure safe driving there by reducing accidents and saving human life.

116. AN IMAGE INPAINTING TECHNIQUE BASED ON THE FAST MARCHING METHOD
COLLEGE : KVG COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, SULLIA GUIDE : MR. ANIL.B. V. STUDENTS : SANTHOSH H. N. SHRIKANTH SHIRAKOL SULABH R. DESAI YADHUNANDAN P.
Overview
There are some instances when some photos are damaged or any old photographs of real life heroes some archeological remains are obtained with scratches, dots, signatures etc. and these needs to be removed without damaging the background. This algorithm provides us with the restored photo or image, without the unwanted dots, scratches within a matter of seconds which is reasonable to human eye.
The block diagram of the inpainting technique by fast marching method is as shown in the figure 3.6. An image of 208 X 308 pixels is considered for the process.
The unwanted part of an image is decided first and that image is taken in paint. The unwanted portion is painted manually with any of the RGB colour. This image is then considered as the damaged image. The original image and the damaged image are read into the matlab software for processing image.
The next step is to compute the gradient function of the damaged image. The gradient function of a hole, which is painted by any of the RGB colour, will be comparatively higher than that of the known part of the image. Thus finds the boundary between the known part and unknown part of the image. The boundary is also called as Narrow band. This image undergoes fast marching process. The algorithm of FMM proceeds as described previously. The process is carried out until the last patch of the hole is filled. The Narrow band goes on moving inwards as the algorithm proceeds. The reconstructed image is obtained after the process completes.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 121
The hole is completely filled with the known values of the image surrounding it. An output image is obtained where the filled region should look “reasonable” to the human eyes which is shown by animation.
Applications:
The restoration of old photographs and damaged films.
Removal of superimposed text like dates subtitles, logos, signature or publicity.
Removal of entire object from the image like microphones or wires in special effects, etc.
Image & video editing in entertainment area, films and etc.
Removal of scratches on image which are produced in case of any defects of optical lenses of camera.
Removal of scratches on image can be extended to videos.
Scope for improvements:
An improvement can be done on performing the inpainting not only on captured image but also in moving images (videos). And another improvement is it can be extended to frequency domain images and satellite images other than time domain images.
This method can be extended by developing new inpainting functions that are better able to preserve isophotes directions. One such way is to integrate anisotropic diffusion.
Conclusion:
The FMM for object removal is a novel way of reconstructing damaged or deteriorated parts of an image. Efficiency and time are the major constraints. The project is simple to implement, fast i.e. a matter of seconds and easy to customize for different inpainting strategies.
This FMM method algorithm where there are no much complex image processing parameters but it mainly uses the source of information that is already present in the image to fill or reconstruct the damaged or deteriorated parts of the image.

Introduction
A Smart Power Meter, which is a single phase digital electronic energy meter used to measure the active power and energy consumption in a houses.
The meter not only does the calculation of energy consumption but also has many advanced and futuristic features like Tampering Detection unit, which is able to detect and restrict major tampering methods. The meter also consists of a GSM module for communication purpose. The monthly readings in units are directly sent to the electricity board periodically, hence there is no need of manual meter reading. Any attempt to tamper is immediately detected and informed to the office by sending a message. If electric bills are not paid timely the power connection can be easily disconnected by issuing the command to the meter from office itself through a message. Similarly it can be reconnected also after the bills are paid. The meter also informs the electricity office and also restricts in case a consumer tries to overload the power line more than their prescribed limit. The meter also has a LCD display for convenient viewing of units consumed, wattage reading and the present month bill details including the due date for payment. Hence this meter will not only benefit the electricity board but also the customers.
Objective
To Design an Electronic meter with advanced and unique features.
To restrict Meter tampering.
To solve the problem of meter reading in and on time meter reading.
To provide information about the power usage through LCD display.
Remotely disconnect the power supply when bills are not paid in stipulated period.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 122
Electronic Meter Unit
The Smart Power Meter mainly consists of Voltage Sensing Circuit which senses the voltage across the load and gives a proportional value as the output, to be processed by the ADC and then read by the microcontroller. Current Sensing Circuit which senses the current and gives a voltage signal directly proportional to the current flowing through the load. This is again processed by ADC and read by microcontroller. Microcontroller is the main controller of the meter. It performs all the core jobs, namely Reading the voltage and current signals to calculate power and energy units. For this purpose the instantaneous power obtained by multiplying voltage and current signals are accumulated over a period, to get an approximate of integration, then averaged to get the active power and then multiplied by time period to get desired energy units. Hence Power Factor is not needed for this purpose. Other actions include detecting suspicious situations like meter bypassing, current reversal etc, communicating with GSM network and real time clock, and performing necessary actions on situations like power disconnect, displaying relevant information on LCD screen.
Internal Block Diagram
GSM and Real Time Clock is needed for communication purpose between meter and electricity office. The RTC keeps track of date and time. Every month the consumed electricity units details are sent through the GSM module. The other necessary informations like TAMPER are also conveyed through GSM itself. Tamper Detector uses a neutral current sensor, i.e. a current transformer connected to the neutral line. The neutral sensor output and the output from main line current transformer are given to a comparator. If the current levels are different in both C.T.s, then a tamper condition is detected. This detects both bypassing as well as current reversal.
Conclusion
Smart Power Meter as it restricts the meter tampering will reduce the loss. The project will solve the problem of distance meter reading in rural areas
as everything is automatic and readings are sent using GSM technology. It will also help to detect line faults in different area. The electricity will be disconnected in case of bills not paid is really made very easy and controlled from the office itself.
Scope For Further Work
Detect high and low voltage conditions of electricity and inform the office.
Detect when the customers try to over load the line.
Dual charges may be adopted for electricity consumption in night and day.

COLLEGE : PROUDADEVARAYA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, T. B. DAM, HOSPET GUIDE : PROF. SHASHIDHAR S. M. STUDENTS : SUNDEEP G. S. PRAVEEN M. B. SHIVAKUMAR H. SHARATH SIMHA M.
Introduction
In this project, the robot is controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile phone attached to the robot. In the course of the call, if any button is pressed, a tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called ‘dual-tone multiple frequency’ (DTMF). The robot perceives this DTMF tone with the help of the phone stacked in the robot.
It performs the following operations:
1. It requires five controls to roam around. (buttons 2, 4, 5, 6, 8)
2. Two control for video reception.(button 1, 3)
3. Two way audio communication.
The remaining five controls can be configured to serve other purposes such as weapon installation, camera rotation, switching of different cameras, zooming or any other mechanical devices that serve the specific purpose with some modifications in the source program of the microcontroller.
Dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF): Dual –tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling is used for telecommunication signaling over analog telephone lines in the voice-frequency band between telephone handsets and other communications devices and the switching center.
As a method of in-band signaling, DTMF tones were also used by cable television broadcasters to indicate the start and stop times of local commercial insertion
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 123
points during station breaks for the benefit of cable companies.
Telephone Keypad:
The contemporary keypad is laid down out in a 3*4 grid although the original DTMF keypad had an additional column for four now-defunct menu selector keys. When used to dial a telephone number, pressing a single key will produce a pitch consisting of two simultaneous pure tone sinusoidal frequencies. The row in which the key appears determines the low frequency, and the column determines the high frequency.
The original keypads had levers inside, so each button activated two contacts. The multiple tones are the reason for calling the system multifrequency. These tones are then decoded by the switching center to determine which key was pressed.

122. GSM BASED CENTRALIZED ELECTRICITY BILLING SYSTEM
COLLEGE : SHRIDEVI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, TUMKUR GUIDE : MR. VARADHARAJU H. R. STUDENTS : KUMAR H. S. SUNIL S. KUMAR ANTO HARIS KUMAR VIJAYA KUMAR REDDY T.
Objective
The GSM based centralised electricity billing system reduces the human error factor involved. There had been many cases of these representatives reading 3 as 8, 5 as 6 or vice versa and there had been huge losses to the Electric company or their clients. There had been instances that on the request of the tenants wrong readings were purposefully taken and then the owner adjusted the bill amount next month in case the tenant was leaving the house that month. Also, there had been instances in which the Representative had not been to the site to take the actual reading but guessed it depending on the last reading taken.
Also, many a times the representative from the power company comes and disconnects the power line in case the bills are not settled on time. But the user instead of paying the bills simple uses a conductor material and connects the line back without paying the bill.
Methodology
In this model, a GSM based community electric billing mechanism which will monitor energy meters and keep a tab of their readings (consumption & cost) & also display’s to the consumer every time. At the end of every day, GSM module will send a consolidated report of the meter reading to KPTCL base station. at the end of every month the base station sends a signal to the GSM module of the customer where the counter starts to count upto the due date of the payment. If the counter cross the due date, the module will disconnect the power line. After consumer pay’s the bill, the base station gives the command to the module to continue/connect the power line & also to reset the counter.
Meter Attachment:
The meter attachment will be a micro-controller based device, which will count the number of rotations by the circular disk, which rotates inside the energy meter. This device will hold the meter number and current reading in an 12c based EEPROM, 24c04 with 4k bits of information, this module will employ a motor controlled disk which will be signifying the disk rotation in an analog energy meter.
In this project the following concepts is being covered:
8051 based coding.
GSM Modem – AT commands set
I2C protocol.
RS232 Protocol
Processor-To-Processor Communication.
Opto-Couplers.
Sensor
Database Management.

123. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COLLEGE : SIDDAGANGA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, TUMKUR GUIDE : DR. R. KUMARA SWAMY STUDENTS : PREETISH G. REVANTH PRAKASH SUHAS M. VAIBHAV DESAI
Introduction & Objectives:
A humanoid is developed through the project to simulate Artificial Intelligence by responding to the voice instructions of the user. The humanoid developed is a Speech Controlled Robot. A Speech Controlled Robot is one whose motions are controlled by a user by giving voice commands. The Speech Recognition Engine running on a PC identifies the voice commands spoken by a user. These commands may be a single word or a group of words. For example: “Move”, “Stop”, “Left”, “Right”, “Back” or “Lift Left Arm”, “Turn Head Right” etc.. After processing the speech, the necessary motion instructions are given to the mobile platform through a serial cable link.
Methodology:
Mechanics: Artificial Intelligence though involves lots of Signal Processing and Electronics, a Mechanical structure is necessary to make it more realistic. The humanoid has a Mechanical structure made of aluminium and acrylic. The Mechanical body is not only meant to give the humanoid a more human appearance, but also to give the structure an adequate strength to serve its purpose.
Designing of Mechanical structure is done using hand drafting. The dimensions are set so that the humanoid has better load bearing and distribution capacity and to maintain consistent centre of gravity while in motion. The core substance is the Mechanical structure happens to be aluminium.
Aluminium is used to fabricate the structure as it gives good strength at a reduced weight.
The Mechanical structure basically consists of the following parts:
The Base
The Skeleton and the Chambers
The Arm
The Head
The Skeleton Structure
The System Overview
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 129
Electronics: The system developed involves a PC performing the speech processing operations while the rest of the system remains mobile on the humanoid. For mobile Digital Signal Processing (DSP) operations and computations, an on-board Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and its supporting peripherals can be used (Ex: ADSP BF561 EZ-Kit).
The PC acts as the Master intelligence core. It is the Master which can initiate a communication and hence get commands executed. The Microcomputers are Slave intelligence systems. They collect the commands sent by the Master and execute them efficiently. The Master is thus spared from the details of actual control which is a slow process.
Speech Recognition: Speech Recognition Engine (SRE) is used to identify the voice commands and guide the ECS to realise whatever was commanded. The Speech Recognition is done through Hidden Markov Model Tool Kit (HTK) on the a Personal Computer (PC). The SRE is trained to identify speech commands that can be used to command the Humanoid to perform a particular operation. The commands are sent through a serial link to the Humanoid. The ECS processes this command and performs the required operation.
Results and Conclusion:
The humanoid can move around and is capable of lifting small things based on Speech Commands. The Kerb weight of the humanoid comes up to 18 Kg. The batteries can last up to 2 hours when continuously operated. The LCD s display the status of Power source and the currently running commands.
The HTK writes the recognised utterances into a file. This file is read by the C-Program . Once a valid command is found, the corresponding command code is sent to the humanoid by the program. This interface with Speech Recognition Engine (SRE) forms the on-line command execution platform.
The SRE has a possibility of misinterpreting some noises as one of the voice commands given to the humanoid. The accuracy of word recognition reduces in the presence of ambient noise. Words which sound similar are difficult to recognize. The sound from motors can also have a significant effect on accuracy.
Scope for future work:
More voice commands may be added to the command list.
The humanoid can be made wireless which gives it greater degree of freedom to move than the wired connection.
The humanoid can made completely automatic using Digital Signal Processors and Image processing techniques.
The humanoid size can made small and compact.
It can be made interactive with its environment and it can display images and give out Speech Signals.
The complexity of the arm can be increased so as to imitate or replicate the human hand functions.
124. ELECTRONIC EMBEDDED DATA VERIFICATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILES
COLLEGE : S.J.M INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, CHITRADURGA GUIDE : MRS. SUMANGALA G. S. STUDENTS : ASHWINI V. S. MEGHANA M SINTHRE NIRUTHA P. SHILPA S. B.
Introduction
It is the duty of every citizen to pay the road tax, along with a legal license. With the increase of number of automobiles the rate of accidents is also increasing so insurance for every vehicle is necessary. Accidents rate may also increased due to the invalid licenses. This project aims at implementing an electronic embedded data verification i.e., payment of taxes and validity of license and control of automobiles which can be efficiently used in RTO stations.
Maintenance of automobile’s data such as payment of taxes and the manual checking of licenses of individuals is seems to be a tedious job in RTO. So there is a need for a system which electronically verifies all the data and also checks the license validity.
Objective
The objective of the project is to design electronic embedded data verification systems for automobiles that can be implemented in the RTO stations to check proper collection and updating of different taxes such as road tax and insurance tax along with the testing of valid license. This project aims to develop a tamper proof unique identification system for each automobile that can help in vehicle as well as driver identification. In this scenario, the owner of the car registers in a RTO station so as to create the data base. The owner is authorized to use the vehicle if he possesses valid license with payment of all taxes verified by RTO electronically.
Methodology
Setup: The RF tags will be fixed inside the car. The reader, which is able to detect the unique number, is connected to the microcontroller through DB9 connector. In the vehicle a microcontroller circuit will
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 130
be present. This circuit has a radio frequency transmitter and receiver (TLP315 and RLP434). Encoder HD12E is connected to the RF transmitter and decoder HD12D is connected to the microcontroller. Also it has a relay switching mechanism that will be able to deactivate or activate a car based on the signal received.
In the RTO station the microcontroller circuit contains radio frequency transmitter and receiver (TLP434 and RLP315). Decoder is connected to the RF receiver and encoder is connected to the microcontroller which is connected to the serial port of the PC through DB9 connector. The computer will have a Visual basic front end that will contain the information of all the vehicle status.
Block diagram
Figure 1: Block diagram
Working
To activate the vehicle the driver is first required to swipe his license across the RFID reader which is fixed inside the vehicle. When the driver swipes his license card, the RFID module reads the RFID tag. It is then given to the microcontroller circuit through DB9 connector. The microcontroller then fetches the data from the EPROM. This is encoded by the HD12E encoder. Then this information is transmitted through TLP315 transmitter present in the vehicle to the RTO station.
The information of 13-digit RFID number of each vehicle is received in the RTO station through RLP315 receiver. There it is decoded by the HD12D decoder present in the RTO station. Then the conditional status of insurance, road tax and pollution is checked whether it is valid or not. The status information of vehicle is transmitted to the vehicle
through TLP434 transmitter.
It is then received in vehicle through the RLP434. Depending on the status the microcontroller sends the enable or disable signal to the relay mechanism of the vehicle which controls the on and of mechanism of vehicle. If it is valid, the power supply flows through relay. The relay is ON. If it is invalid, there is no power supply, the relay is OFF. The relay operation shows whether the vehicle starts or not.
The status of the vehicle (insurance, road tax, pollution) is displayed on the PC in the RTO station and also on the LCD which is present in the vehicle.
Results and Analysis
Figure 2: Result for valid case
Figure 3: Result for invalid case
The above windows are the data base in RTO station from where all controlling will be done. With these above windows we have shown the results. After
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 131
swiping the authorized card, valid license will be displayed on the window. After verification of data we are checking it gives the status.
In window you can see three parameters. They are insurance, road tax and pollution tax. Also codes and due dates of the respective parameters are displayed. After verification of all the parameters, if they are valid i.e. insurance, road tax and pollution tax are up to date; it will show valid status as shown in Fig 2. Otherwise any of the parameters are not valid i.e. any of insurance, road tax, pollution tax are not up to date; it will display invalid status as shown in Fig 3. Corresponding status will be displayed on LCD fixed in the car.
Conclusion
This technology gives a view turn in the field of transportation i.e. all the automobiles will be controlled wirelessly and this project gives the effective and systematic collection of all taxes.
Future Scope
Since the concept of wireless transmission is used as backbone, work should be done to take care for the proper data transfer without any loss.
Development for the proper network coverage must be installed to all the remote places systematically.
125. A CELLPHONE OPERATED SURVEILLANCE LAND ROVER
COLLEGE : ST. JOSEPH ENGINEERING COLLEGE, MANGALORE GUIDE : MR. S. DAYANAND SHETTY STUDENTS : FLOYED PRINCE LOBO GLEN ALOYSIUS REGO HITESH S. JESTIN S. MATHEW
Introduction and Methodology
Robotics is the area of science and technology of robots, and their design, manufacture, and application. Fascinated by NASA’S project which involved in controlling an unmanned robot in planet mars, a simpler version of this is attempted.
This project mainly involves in controlling the rover with the help of a cell phone. Both the user as well as the rover should be equipped with a cell phone each. The signaling as a medium of communication between the user and the rover is “DTMF”. The cell phone present in the rover should be in auto answer mode such that it is ready to pick the call of the user at any respective time. The microcontroller is pre programmed to take a decision for any given valid input and outputs its decision to the appropriate driving circuits. Hence the rover could be controller from any place on earth provided the cell phone network is existent both at the transmitter and the receiving ends.
The microcontroller used for controlling the rover is PIC18F8722. Features like IR have been used primarily to detect obstacle and to avoid collisions. An additional camera has also been placed at the top of the rover in order to survey a particular area. The rover has also been programmed to operate in auto mode, where in the rover propagates without encountering any collision with the nearby obstacle. An additional feature of FM circuitry has been provided as a just in case the cell phone fails to operate due to network failure, where in DTMF tones are generated and transmitted using FM channel and are received at the rover’s receiver.
The rover has been programmed to achieve different speeds through rear wheel control using pulse width modulation. Hence depending on a particular terrain appropriate speed could be chosen. Front wheel control was achieved by a stepper motor. Camera movement is controlled by another stepper motor.
The microcontroller was programmed in a manor such that all motor can function independently. For this four timers were used, each were controlling each motor. Each subroutine checks the status registers present in the Ram and performs necessary actions.
Observations:
The primary requirement for proper functioning requires open surroundings.
One of the major cons of this project is that rover can be controlled by any cell phone; hence there is a need for password protection scheme to ensure safety.
The FM remote constructed provides a controlling range of only 50-75 meters on open grounds.
The rover moves outside the range the control is lost.
Continuous working of the rover is difficult and as it takes a lot of power to drive various motors. Experimentally it was observed that the rover was drawing a current of 2A, so power consumptions have to be reduced considerably.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 132
Power consumption seen above could be reduced by the following means: Reducing the net weight of the setup. Use stand alone microcontroller instead of
using the PIC demo board. Replacing stepper motor by servo motor.
The following future enhancements are suggested:
A GPS kit could help to know the exact position of the rover.
Full duplex communication can be adopted So that the rover can communicate with the user and give valid information like speed and position.
Pic 32 bit microprocessor could be used to perform image processing on the captured image.
Lithium batteries could be used for longer standby time.

Introduction:
This project aims to decrease the risk of accidents on roads due to poor lighting and dazzling lights. The available headlights are used in a more efficient way by which only that portion of the road most relevant at any instant is focused by the headlights. The control of the headlights is along the horizontal and vertical axis. Various systems with similar capability and function as this system have been developed. A few types have also been implemented in top-end cars manufactured by few car companies.
Objective:

32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 133
wheeled automobile in accordance with steering wheel and the speed of the vehicle.
Methodology:
The processing core, PIC 16F877A is the central block here which accepts the input provided in analog form and converts it into digital sequence of 10-bits in its internal ADC module. The inputs are provided by transducers to input pins of the ADC module in the microcontroller. The processed data for the horizontal processing obtained is then given to a Switching circuit which isolated the drive provided to the motors, thus enabling only 1 motor to turn in the horizontal direction. The output of the controller is fed to the driver IC, ULN2003 and henceforth to the respective motor. For the vertical processing, the output is given to the driver IC and this drives the motors directly.
Results and Conclusions:
The system has been designed that controls the headlight focus in two degrees of freedom, the horizontal and vertical direction. The output, in terms of the position of the headlight, obtained for different steering wheel angles was tabulated. The output is in terms of the position of the shaft from the mean position.
Scope for future work:
Optical encoding of the inputs, for precision and accuracy.
As the system is interrupt driven, more features can be added into the system. These include Automatic Switch for the headlights so that they switch ON and OFF automatically.
By providing manual override, the system can be used to control CCTV cameras, search lights mounted on helicopters.

COLLEGE : UNIVERSITY B.D.T COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING DAVANGERE GUIDE : MR. T. D. VISHNUMURTHY STUDENTS : ROBINSON LEWIS ANAND KUMAR DAMODARA LOKESHA T. S.
Introduction:
Remote control and operation of a ground vehicle is taken up here. Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF), which has wide application in the area of wireless communication, has been used. Controlling the motion of the vehicle is done depending upon the video feedback that is obtained from the vehicle side using DTMF keypad. Depending upon the key pressed, the micro controller within the vehicle performs the necessary actions such as movements of the camera both in horizontal and vertical directions, activating the laser source, etc. The vehicle sends live video pictures through video transmitter, which is received at the controlling end through Video receiver. Depending upon the received video, the operator at the controlling end performs necessary actions.
Objective:
To save the human life in military field Using the designed vehicle.
Methodology:
When a key is pressed, the corresponding upper and lower frequencies get combined to generate a DTMF tone. This tone is frequency modulated by a carrier frequency of 99MHz. and transmitted using a FM transmitter. The FM receiver receives the frequency modulated signal and demodulates the received signal and original DTMF tone. This tone is given to the input of the DTMF decoder IC CMD8870. The decoder IC produces the corresponding 4-bit binary value.When the steering signal goes low, the PIC disables the current function and waits for the steering signal to go high. Port D is the output port in which one of the bits is activated depending on the 4-bit binary input value in port C. Depending upon the output port status, corresponding functions such as turning ON or OFF of the corresponding relay or activating the laser source are carried out. A video sends the live pictures to the video transmitter section and then to the remote controlling end through video transmitter as the feedback The TV
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 134
receiver is tuned to catch the signals transmitted from the vehicle side.
Results and conclusion:
In this project, DTMF keypad is used to generate DTMF tone. This tone is transmitted using FM modulation technique. The FM receiver receives the modulated signal and demodulates it to get the original tone. This tone is decoded into corresponding 4-bit binary equivalent by the tone detector section.
Scope for future work:
A Global Positioning System (GPS) may be mounted on the vehicle to locate the exact position of the vehicle.
A robotic pick-up arm can be implemented on the vehicle itself.
The range of the vehicle controlling device and the camera controlling device may be increased so that the vehicle can operate at longer distances.

Introduction
A lot of new technologies are being developed to reduce the pollution caused by it. Hybrid Technology has become highly successful in cars, improving the efficiency and reducing the pollution. In some foreign countries, hub motor has been used in combination with human effort to run bicycles. In this project, the same hybrid technology is implemented on two-wheelers.
Objectives:
To develop less polluting technology for two wheelers.
To conserve/save energy and use it more effectively.
To reduce noise pollution.
Methodology:
When the vehicle is run by petrol engine, the AC produced is converted to DC and stored in the battery pack. Battery pack not only gets charged through engine alternator but also by the hub motor through reverse charging. Engine drive can be directly switched over to the battery drive after neutralizing the gear followed by engine turn off. When the engine is switched over to battery mode, the hub motor acts as a driver motor and two-wheeler starts moving. Electric current from the battery pack is drawn to drive the hub motor forward by using throttle with PWM unit.
Results and Conclusion:
If four-stroke vehicles can be fitted with this system (instead of two-stroke Hero Puch 2G vehicle is used in this project), the fuel savings can be even greater. Further, batteries need no external charging. Further, the noise created from the vehicle is reduced.
Scope for future work:
Front braking system and speedometer mechanism need to be re-designed.
The use of deep discharging batteries can be explored.

COLLEGE : B.M.S COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, BANGALORE GUIDE : MS. ANITA C. STUDENTS : M. MEGHAVARSHINI B. MONI KOKILAM SNEHA SUNDARESH ANDANI
Introduction
Face detection is the essential front end of any face recognition system, which locates and segregates face regions from cluttered images, either obtained from video or still image. The task of face detection is so trivial for the human brain, yet it still remains a challenging and difficult problem to enable a
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 135
computer to do face detection. This is because the human face changes with respect to internal factors like facial expression, beard and mustache, glasses etc and it is also affected by external factors like scale, lightning conditions, contrast between face and background and orientation of the face.
The problem of face detection in still images is more challenging and difficult when compared to the problem of face detection in video since motion information can lead to probable regions where a face could be located.
Objective
The goal of this project is to implement a system capable of Detecting faces in near real-time and to address the issue of developing a face Detection system under reduced constraints like Variability in face size, Face orientations, Face locations, Facial expressions , Partial occlusions and Lightning conditions.
The goal of a face detection algorithm is to identify the location and Scale of all the faces in the image.
Face Dectection
It consists of three steps.
The first step is to classify each pixel in the given image as a skin pixel or a non-skin pixel.
The second step is to identify different skin regions in the skin detected image by using connectivity analysis.
The last step is to decide whether each of the skin regions identified is a face or not. This is done using two parameters. They are the height to width ratio of the skin region and the percentage of skin in the rectangle defined by the height and width.
Methodology
Skin Pixel Classification : Different color spaces used in skin detection previously include HSV, normalized RGB, YCrCb, YIQ and CIELAB. Skin color can be modeled using a histogram, a single Gaussian or a mixture of Gaussians. It is demonstrated that the histogram model is superior to other models. Also, the histogram is easy to implement and is computationally efficient.
In the HSV space, H stands for hue component, which describes the shade of the color, S stands for saturation component, which describes how pure the hue (color) is while V stands for value component, which describes the brightness.
Connectivity Analysis : Using the skin detected image, one knows whether a pixel is a skin pixel or not, but cannot say anything about whether a pixel belongs to a face or not. Grouping the skin pixels in the image based on a 8-connected neighborhood i.e. if a skin pixel has got another skin pixel in any of its 8
neighboring places, then both the pixels belong to the same region.
The centroid is found by the average of the coordinates of all the pixels in that region. For finding height
The y-coordinate of the centroid is subtracted from the y-coordinates of all pixels in the region.
Find the average of all the positive y-coordinates and negative y-coordinates separately.
Add the absolute values of both the averages and multiply by 2.
This gives the average height of the region. Average width can be found similarly by using x coordinates. Since the height to width ratio of human faces falls within a small range on the real axis, using this parameter along with percentage of skin in a region, the algorithm should be able to throw away most of non face skin regions.
Using Edge Information
There are many ways to perform edge detection. However, the most may be grouped into two categories, gradient and Laplacian. The gradient method detects the edges by looking for the maximum and minimum in the first derivative of the image. The Laplacian method searches for zero crossings in the second derivative of the image to find edges.
Figures below shows a normal Image and its edge image respectively.
Edge detection (a) Test image (b) Edge Image
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 136
Experimental Results
The algorithm is applied on a wide variety of images taken under different lighting conditions and with different backgrounds. The images also have areas containing skin from other parts of the body like hands, and areas with color very similar to that of skin. These areas get classified as skin and they form skin regions accordingly.
Different training faces for skin color
Conclusion
A fast algorithm for face detection based on skin color, connectivity and edge information has been proposed. The algorithm is fast and can be used in real-time applications. The images
on which the algorithm is tested are natural images taken under uncontrolled conditions and the algorithm does well on them. The algorithm locates faces but does not give the exact contour. Some kind of post-processing (such as extraction of eyes) will help to capture the face contour exactly
for use by a face recognition system. Detecting faces that are partly occluded or that are overlapping remains a challenge to be addressed.

Introduction:
µC based Patient Care Monitoring System is mainly developed to monitor the patient’s health regularly. Here sensors are used to monitor the specific parameter of the health i.e. to measure heartbeat, heartbeat sensor is used and to measure temperature, temperature sensor is used. The gadget works in two modes one is GSM mode and other is PC mode. When doctor is far from the patient he will switch the device to GSM mode by which he will get patient details via SMS. In PC mode, when he with patient there is no need of sending message to doctor so the patient will be monitored through PC itself. The main advantage of this gadget is patient may also be in home and if abnormalities occur that will be informed to doctor soon.
Objectives:
To monitor body temperature of the patient and sending a call at times when heart beat is abnormal and a call is given to specified user defined location through a telephone call.
Block diagram
Methodology:
ECG sensors are used to keep continuous watch on heartbeats. It sends ON pulse when it is activated i.e. at times when it gets heartbeats or breathing. The output of sensor is given to the preamplifier for adding extra strength to the signals because the output of sensor cannot drive any circuit directly.µC Unit controls the working according to the program that means µ-Controller sends appropriate pulses / signals to display unit. Buzzer detects the fault or error. Trans-receiver which is used to communicate between microcontroller unit and the GSM modem. It sends data to & from the µ-controller unit. P.S.U. (power supply unit) provides appropriate voltages to all the sections.
Results and Conclusion:
This is one of the better methods to monitor a patient those who suffer from illness continuously. With the help of GSM modem the doctor gets the message of
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 137
patient illness. Also doctor can check heart beat rate, glucose level etc.
Scope for future work:
By little modification the same unit is useful for any hospital even to check glucose flow, blood flow etc.

Introduction:
With the growth of terrorism all over the world, the threat to the lives of civilians and the army has increased to a great extent. This project is a small step towards protecting the precious lives of our brave soldiers who lay down their lives countering terrorists. The main feature of this design is that it is economically feasible, user friendly and completely Remote controlled.
Objective:
Introducing and inducting modern technology like Robots for the defence.
Methodology:
The Detect and Destroy vehicle is a remote controlled shooting vehicle. A video camera and a gun are mounted on the vehicle. As the vehicle is wireless, it can be sent to a location where kind of action/operation is being carried out. The camera captures the images of the operation site. These captured images are streamed with minimal delay to the control room from where the vehicle is being controlled by an operator. The images are displayed on a laptop or on a CRT depending upon the need. If the operator finds any suspicious object or person, he can give various commands to the vehicle (Movement of the vehicle, rotation of the turret etc).

134. AUTOMATION OF AGRICULTURE USING MICROCONTROLLER
COLLEGE : PROUDADEVARAYA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, HOSPET GUIDE : DR. SAVITA SONOLI STUDENTS : APPASAHEB S. KAVERI KRISHNA BUDDI RAVI S. BAGADE SHIVARAJ J. TOTAGAR
Introduction
In this project, the water is supplied to the crops by knowing the moisture content of the soil automatically using microcontroller. This reduces the workload of the farmer. Also the wastage of water may be reduced, as some crops may not require much of the water supplied to them, so there may be wastage of water. The pump supplies only the required amount of water, reducing the excess supply of water
In this technique the sensors inserted in the soil detect the actual moisture level of the soil. According to the moisture level of the soil there will be change in conductivity between the sensors that are placed in the form of probes. Signal from the sensors is fed to the microcontroller through the driving stage. The microcontroller is designed in such a way that according to the moisture level between the probes the pump closes or opens the valves to irrigate the field.
The microcontroller also receives a logical signal about the abnormal conditions such as high temperature of the pump, the improper voltage level of supply and dry running of the pump. In such situations microcontroller won’t allow the pump to ‘turn on’. The abnormalities are indicated by the LEDs.
According to these three parameters and the condition of soil the pump goes to ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. The output of pump can be further connected to solenoid valves, where these supplies water to the
required area of the field. In a big field if different crops are present, by using a required number of solenoid and with a single pump the water supply can be effectively controlled.

The system works through solar power
Conclusion
It is possible to reduce the wastage of water by supplying the required amount of water using microcontroller.

137. CRASH SLIDING SYSTEM COLLEGE : G. M. INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, DAVANGERE GUIDE : MR. BASAVARAJAPPA D. N. STUDENTS : ABHIJITH G. NAIK SANDEEP BHAT SRIPAD V REVANKAR YOGEESH HEGDE
Introduction:
Crash Sliding System is an innovative safety feature in automobiles. With the automobiles being better in terms of technology, this project provides a comprehensive method of reducing deaths due to crashes. Hence this is an effort to put forth the knowledge for the betterment of the society and help save millions of lives. A bunch of parallel springs are fixed between the front end of the cabin and the bonnet. The cabin is made to slide back for beyond the critical value of impact. This critical value determines that the vehicle has undergone an accident. And hence this system is made active by detaching the lock provided for the springs for this critical value.
Objective:
To protect the lives of people commuting in cars and reducing deaths due to crashes.
Methodology:
The crash sensor operates when load on it exceeds critical load. It actuates a bell crank lever connected to a tension springs through links. The lever operates beyond the designed value of spring tension when sensor operates. The offset holes which is provided for locking becomes concentric. This results in detachment of the cabin. The cabin slides on the guide ways/slots which is fitted with a journal bearing to facilitate smooth slide. The slot even has a restriction so that cabin doesn’t completely fall off from the sides. To aid the vehicle to an actual crash test drive system is provided with an electric motor with belt drive.
Results and Conclusions:
This project is aimed at providing a crash impact reducing system for the vehicle cabins. A set of parallel springs are mounted between the cabin and the bonnet which produces a repulsive force in case of a crash, and hence reducing the impact by sliding the cabin backwards on the rails provided. This enhances the safety of the passenger by a considerable amount.
Scope for future work:
Improved safety of the vehicles.
Improved scope for research on safety features in automobiles.
138. SEED COATING MACHINE COLLEGE : KLS’S GOGTE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BELGAUM GUIDE : MR. SANJEEV H. KULKARNI STUDENTS : KOUSTUBHA BADKUNDRI DHANANJAY DESAI BHASKAR BOGAR PRAJWAL KAMMAR
Introduction
Seed coating is a process wherein the seed before sowing is coated with desired inoculants (mixture of various fertilizers, pesticides, micro-organisms etc). At present farmers in and around get the required materials in the form of adhesive and coating powder, and just before sowing ‘Hand- Coat’ the seeds. Due to evident human errors the coating is not uniform and this is affecting the overall yield of the crop. Even though seed coating machines are available with the government departments, it’s beyond the scope of the farmer to afford them or even get the seeds coated from them. The project team proposes to design and fabricate an indigenously built ‘Seed Coating Machine’.
Objectives:
To design and fabricate an indigenously built affordable ‘Seed Coating Machine’, which will decrease the non-uniformity of the coatings from the current practices and hence will lead to a substantial increase in the crop yield.
Methodology:
In the machine the inputs are collectively mixed together to deliver the output. The seeds which are present in the perforated drum are lowered into a bath of coating mix consisting of the adhesive and coating powder, present inside the sump at the bottom. Then calculated number of rotations is given to the drum. This ensures the uniform agitation of the seeds inside the drum and the coating mix. The perforated drum is then lifted up with the help of the screw and allowed to stand at an intermediate position. The drum is again rotated at this position.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 141
This allows the dripping of the excess bath mix from the seeds ensuring a more uniform coating. The uniformly coated seeds are then taken out through the circumferential opening of the drum. The power for rotation of the drum is manual. The seeds are then shade dried for about an hour before sowing.
Results and conclusion:
Three model designs have been worked upon so far and the third model was decided upon finally after the preliminary testing was Okayed. Uniformity and Germination rate tests were conducted which yielded noticeably beneficial results hence leading to the conclusion of the machine being successful in achieving its stated objectives.
Scope for future work:
Mechanization can be achieved by coupling the model to a bicycle with the help of reduction gears to maintain constant RPM.
Even motors can be used.
The material for the sump and cylinder can be suitably changed by using materials such as Stainless steel, aluminum, tin, plastic, PVC, wood.
139. PASSIVE INDIRECT TYPE COCONUT SOLAR DRYER
COLLEGE : KALPATARU INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, TIPTUR GUIDE : MR. MANJUNATH M. STUDENTS : ADARSHA T. B. PAVANA B. S. BHAVYA K. S. PRASHANTH K. S.
Introduction
An attempt has made to reduce the size as well as cost and make it more portable so that it can be moved any where in farm or the house top with ease. The solar dryer which is fabricated in this project operates simply by natural convection. It can dry full lot of coconuts in two sunny to partly sunny days in humid climate or a smaller load in one good sunny day. Obiviously the amount of sun shine and humidity will affect performance, with better performance on clear, sunny and less humidity days.
Methodology:
The passive indirect type coconut solar dryer consists of the following components
Flat air collector
Drying chamber
Inlet vent
Outlet vent
Mobility
Frames and casting
Insulating material
Cylinder
Flat air collector
This dryer uses a “through pass” collector configuration . Solar energy passes through a glazing material(glass of 6mm thickness) and is absorbed by the copper sheet placed at the bottom of the collector. The air around the absorber is heated and rises into the drying chamber. A slight vacuum or negative pressure is created by the rising air which draws in additional air through the inlet vent and copper absorber sheet. Air is heated and the process continues. Tilting the collectors is more effective than placing them horizontally, for two reasons. Solar energy can be collected when the collector surface is more nearly perpendicular to the sun’s rays. Second by tilting the collectors the warmer less dense air rises naturally into the drying chamber .The size of the collector depends on the following:
The amount of material being dried
The materials moisture content.
The humidity in the air.
The average amount of solar radiation available during the drying season.
Copper absorber: Copper is used as absorber and coated with black paint. Black coating is done because the absorptivity of the perfect black body is unity and hence by Kirchoff’s law : Emmisivity = Absorptivity =1. thus maximum utilization of solar energy is possible as the black body will absorb all wavelengths at every incident angle
Drying Chamber: The drying chamber is made up of anodized Al sheet , internally insulated with Al foil faced thermocol(of half inch). The door is made up of ply wood provided with the transparent glass for the frequent observations of test items.the drying chamber as six sliding trays which of mesh type for the free air circulation through food stuffs. The door of chamber is sophisticated with magnetic lock for air tight chamber. Once side of the chamber is provide with the hole from which the chamber inlet air temperature is measured a. and the another side chain drive is present for rotating the cylinder.
Inlet vent: The inlet vent is provided at the base of the flat plate collector. A screen is provided at the inlet vent,so that the air cannot rush into the flat plate collector. The principle here is,as the air flows inside the flate plate collector through the vent, the air gets heated up. The advattage of providing screen is,not only to avoid rushing of air but, it also prevents the dust particles, insects and pets entering the chamber through the inlet vent.
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 142
Outlet Vent: The oulet vent is provided at the top of the drying chamber. The air coming through the cylinder after providing heat to the food stuff passes out side through this outlet vent. The outlet vent is a one inch gap given at the top of the drying chamber. It is provided with a small canopy which is slanted downwards so that the from the atmosphere should not get into the chamber to decrease the efficiency of the drying chamber.
Outlet vent covers the top,if closed at night wood prevent or reduce reverse thermosiphoning and rehydration of food left in the dryer. The exhaust vent works very well. It spreads the exhaust air across the dryers width rather than concentrating it in the center. this would improve connective flows and performance.
Drying Compartment: side view of drying chamber
Mobility: The coconut solar dryer is compact one and it can be moved to any where easily. For the easy movement of the system wheels are provided at the front. These wheels are not only enhance the the easy movement but also provide easy handling for the user.
Frames and Casing: The system is simple and robust in desiogn. The basic skeleton structure which holds the whole system and gives rigidity to it is made from M.S. angles welded together. The outer body covering the structure is Anodised Al sheet which is fastened to the structure using rivets. This gives it durability as the Al is free from rust and corrosion and gives light weight construction.
Insulation: Insulation is an important criterion in the effective drying of food stuffs and has to retain high temperature for long time. When solar radiation enters through the glazing into the the collector chamber and heats it up, there is always a possibility
of heat loss from bottom and sides of the chamber hence it is insulated properly using half inch thermocol and provided with a thin layer of Al foil sheet on top provide an reflective surface for heat into the chamber. The drying chamber sides are also provided with Al foil faced thermocol for insulation.
Cylinder: The two cylinders are placed in the drying chamber pivoting centrally by means of bearings to the side wall of the drying chamber. It can be rotated with the help of chain drive in order to maintain uniform temperature. The cylinder is made up of perforated mesh. The hot air is passed through the mesh to dry the coconut powder.
Conclusion
The “Passive Indirect Type Coconut - Solar Drier” technology has been successfully demonstrated and is ready for commercialization.
The proposed dryer has worked well in our test. It can produce temperature range of 130-180 deg F (54-82 deg F).
The best performance in our outdoor was attained with bright sunny day and copper absorber plate painted black. The surface behind the absorber should be reflective, and for best performance the exhaust wet should spread uniformly.
The cost of the dryer and the time to construct it is reduced by using locally available items like mild steel and aluminum and is easier to work with. We made the unit more portable by adding wheels and improved the durability by using the anodized AL sheets for body outer covering and fastening with rivets. This would further decrease the cost of the dryer.
It is our hope that once the simplicity of solar energy system design is understood, engineers and manufacturers will provide new system designs for the factory for large scale production, that will expand the solar market worldwide and permit all to benefit from this clean, sustainable and distributed source of energy.

Introduction
Solar energy is a clean and abundent energy resource that can be used to supplement many of our energy needs. Solar energy can be utilised as a
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 143
form of heat, such as solar water heating, as an electricity and in photovoltaics.
In this project the fluid is used instead of water as a working medium. The fluid flows in a closed loop and heats up the water in the storage tank.
Methodology
The evacuated tubes are made from copper typically ultra strong and heat resistant pyrex with a double wall construction. The fluid is used in the system also called as heat transfer oil and help for transferring heat energy from heat source to the required vessel, where the heat energy is used. The copper tube is coated on its outer surface with an absorbent coating, and on its inner surface with a reflective coating. Sunlight enters through outer copper tube and strikes the absorber tubes and changes to hear. The heat is transferred to the liquid flowing through the absorber tube. The evacuated space is filled with a low boiling point thermal fluid, this thermal fluid is converted into steam. When the sun rays falls on the outer cover of the collector with the help of the steam. The evacuated space available around the copper tubes through which water is circulated. Heat conduction takes place to the water, which is flowing in the copper tube, which eliminate conductive and convective heat loss.
The external reflectors increases the radiation received by the collector as the radiation that usually passes through the gap between tubes is driven back on to the absorber. As heat rises, hot vapours from the antifreeze rise up to the top of the heat pipe where its copper tip connects with a header pipe through which more antifreeze flows. This hot antifreeze is than pumped through pipes inside the hot water tank and with the end water gets hotter and antifreeze cooler. The antifreeze move around the system and solar water heater to be reheated.

COLLEGE : KARNATAKA LAW SOCIETY’S VISHWANATHRAO DESHPANDE RURAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, HALIYAL, U.K. GUIDE : MR. MOHAN FUTANE STUDENTS : SAGAR NILAJKAR AKSHAY DESAI DALJIT SINGH PRAMOD KOLHAPUR
Introduction:
With an increase in the need for quality manufacturing along with the factors of short lead times, short product lives and increasing consumer awareness regarding the quality of the product, it is becoming important for the manufacturers to initiate steps to achieve their objective. This objective can only be achieved by the use of alternate innovative
engineering concepts with low cost and high efficiency. A lathe is a machine tool used principally for shaping pieces of metal, wood, or other materials by causing the work piece to be held and rotated by the lathe while a tool bit is advanced into the work causing the cutting action.
Objective:
To use the sensors for controlling the tool movement in a lathe machine.
To make programming simple, understandable by any user, to lower the cost of the machine and can be used or implemented with very little practice.
Methodology :
The microcontroller is programmed according to the requirement of machining. A home position of the tool is set so that each and every machining or the program starts from that point.
When the system is switched on the x axis motor sets itself to starting position, if motor X rotates in a direction until the starting position in x direction is reached which is decided by the limit switches used in the setup so there is an if loop used over there. Then, similarly the y-axis motor rotates and sets itself to home position if not motor Y rotates in a direction until the home position is reached which is also decided by the limit switch which is shown by another if loop.
When both the axes, X and Y are set to starting position, the third Stepper motor which runs the band
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 144
program stars rotating and then the program loop is entered. This loop shows the working of the sensors. There are 4 sensors and 4 different directions of the tool movement X +ve and X-ve, Y+ve and Y-ve. The band program contains 4 different columns in front of each sensor. When a particular sensor is activated the tool moves in that particular direction. That direction is achieved by that particular motor rotating in that particular direction. If the metal strip get sensed in X+ve column then the motor X rotates in that direction and the tool is moved in that particular direction. The distance is proportional to the length of the strip or the time through which the sensor is activated. The same principle is used to achieve the tool movement in other three directions.
This Controller is called 3 Axis Controller as it controls the 3 stepper motors rotating parallel to 3 different axes.
Conclusion:
It works automatically.
Almost manual work is reduced.
Accuracy of the machining depends upon the accuracy of the sensors.
The sensors give good sensing result with iron, aluminum and copper.
Machining Accuracy depends upon the stiffness of the programmable band.
Scope for future work:
Dimmerstat can be used to control the speed of the spindle motor.
Any other sensors lake colour sensors may be used to achieve the accuracy.
To achieve higher accuracy different like polymers, resins with high stiffness may be used.
If this concept is employed in CNC’s the complications in programming may be eliminated and at the same time huge amount cost reduction can be achieved.

Introduction:
Alcohol intake is one of the major causes of road traffic accidents and many of them turn out fatal. Actually drinking and driving do not mix. Alcohol is known to interfere the driving ability of the individuals because it affects the visual acuity, reaction time and reflexes. The Alcohol Breath Tester is commonly
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 145
used at laboratory, Police, Military, Airport or while on the road. Units activated through a micro switch, after a brief internal self test; the test subject blows through the sensor and result are converted and read within few seconds. Breath Tester used as a monitor, it can indicate when equivalent alcohol percentages are below or above the legal limits. The Alcoholmeter was introduced as it becomes easy for the police to deal with the suspect drunk driver. Breath alcohol concentration from exhale air is obtained using Breath alcoholmeter.
Objectives:
To educate people to use these instruments properly and scientifically so as to avoid legal complication.
Methodology:
LCD is used for user interaction with the system, 16*2 LCD display based on Hitachi HD 447780 controller. The sensing elements is installed in the metal housing which uses double stainless steel mesh (100 mesh) in the path of gas flow. The change of the sensor resistance (RS) is obtained as the change of the output voltage across the fixed or variable resistor (RL). Sensitivity characteristics of the gas sensor are expressed by the relationship between the sensor resistance and gas concentration. The sensor resistance decreases within increase of gas concentration based on a logarithmic function. The sensing material in gas sensor is metal. Inside the sensor, electric current flows through the conjunction parts (grain boundary) of SnO2 micro crystals. At grain boundaries, adsorbed oxygen forms a potential barrier which prevents carriers from moving freely. The electrical resistance of the sensor is attributed to this potential barrier. In the presence of a deoxidizing gas, the surface density of the negatively charged oxygen decreases. So the barrier height in the grain boundary is reduced. He reduced barrier height decreases sensor Resistance.

GSM Module : The GSM module uses two mobiles one is kept in the robot with auto answering mode and another one is used as a remote. When the particular key is pressed the signal is received by the
32nd Series : SPP : KSCST : 2008-2009 147
mobile stacked in the robot and processed by the DTMF decoder.
DTMF Decoder: The robot is controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile phone attached to the robot. In the course of call, if any button pressed, a tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at other end of the call. This tone is called Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) tone. The robot perceives this DTMF tone with the help of the phone stacked in the robot
Microcontroller: The microcontroller forms the main control system of the robot. It is the heart of our system; it is a single chip micro computer with input-output ports, timer, clock generator, program memory,
stack and serial port etc. It is a 40 pin IC made by Micro chip Company. The microcontroller is used in controlling and processes it through digital camera, and then control the weapon.
Camera: The digital camera used is the high resolution camera to capture the image in the war field. It gives the good quality of the image, and it converts picture information into video signals then send it to the system.
Weapon control: A suitable weapon is used to fight against the terror at the present situation. The weapon control is used to control the direction of the weapon and target the weapon at the right direction and fire the weapon accurately. A weapon with accuracy is used to destroy the enemy. This uses two DC motors one for horizontal and another for vertical rotation.
Motor drive : The whole movement is controlled by the DC motor drive i.e., L298 IC through a microcontroller system. A circuit is used in controlling the speed and direction of motors. L293D IC is used to control DC motor which in term controls the movement of camera and weapon in all direction.

146. SOME STUDIES ON FABRICS PRODUCED USING DYNEEMA FIBRES FOR DEFENCE APPLICATIONS
COLLEGE : BAPUJI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, DAVANGERE GUIDE : MR. S. M. CHANDRASHEKAR STUDENTS : ADITYA M. C. SHIVAKUMAR K. M. S. SHIRIN SHRUTHI R. V.
Introduction:
Dyneema is a strong polyethylene fibre having maximum strength than aramid fibres. This fibre
floats on water and extremely durable and resistant to moisture. This fibre can be satisfactorily used for defense applications.
Objective:
To produce fabric for defense applications such as Bullet proof, military etc.
Methodology:
The dyneema fibre comes in the form of uni directional spun bonded sheets of 200 mtr.X 1.6 cm.. The sheet is having the gsm of 0.1555 gsm / layer. 26 such sheets are layered one above the other on a cutting table and required size is marked. The layered sheet are cut as per the markings to make in to patterns. These prepared patterns are fused at tempeture of 1100C. to 1150C to get single piece. This fused piece may be used for military applications
Results and Conclusion:
From the test results the conclusion can be drawn as follows.
Dyneema has got very high strength and light weight and is comfort for the wearer and hence can be used fo military applications. The fabric made from dyneema fibres can be successfully used in the battle field.
Scope for Future work:
Further studies can be conducted by modifying the dyneema fibres are blend the same with other fires for other industrial applications.

MICROSYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES
Prof. K. J. Vinoy Department of Electrical Communication Engineering
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore [email protected]
Microsystems are increasingly used in several branches of science and engineering due to its
immense potential in application areas of very high significance to the mankind. The technology
has already been used in addressing several lingering challenges in aerospace, automotive, civil,
mechanical, biomedical and communication engineering disciplines. This has been made possible
by a series of innovations in developing materials which exhibit features such as electro-
mechanical/magneto-mechanical coupling and in establishing their fabrication processes. In many
of these devices one form of energy (say electrical) is converted into another (mechanical-e.g.,
force, vibration, displacement). Furthermore, many of the underlying phenomena are found to be
reciprocal, paving the way for fabricating both sensors and actuators with same materials.
Researchers world over have devised various ways to embed these components to
introduce smartness in a system. Originally introduced in bigger systems in the bulk form, this
science is increasingly leaning towards miniaturization with the popularization of micro
electromechanical systems (MEMS). One of the reasons for this is the stringent lightweight
constraints imposed on the system design. The use of MEMS in smart systems is so intensely
intertwined that these technologies often treated two faces of the same coin. The engineering of
smart systems and MEMS are areas for multi-disciplinary research, already laden with myriad
technological issues of their own. With the smart systems technology branching towards several
newer disciplines, it is essential and timely to consolidate the technological advances in selected
areas.
One of the application areas of strong potential is the market for wireless personal
communication devices which has expanded dramatically in the last two decades. The production
volume has increased manifold, and the power handling capacity required in these systems have
reduced considerably. In this context several micro-fabricated components including MEMS find
applications in many current and future microwave and millimeter wave communication
technologies. Apart from having the advantages with bulk production, and being miniaturized,
these can often lead to more efficient systems, compared to conventional ones.

SYNTHESIS OF BIOACTIVE HETEROCYCLES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS AS THERAPEUTIC AGENTS
Prof. K. S. Rangappa Department of Studies in Chemistry,
University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysore-570006, INDIA. [email protected]
During the past twenty years, a multitude of novel bioactive heterocycles have been developed
and several of these are being considered as therapeutic agents for various diseases. In this
context, we have synthesized several small molecule comounds and checked for their efficacy as
antiangiogeneic, anti-leukemia and M1 receptor agonists and AChE inhibitors. We synthesized the
substituted imidazole and 1-benzhydryl-sulfonyl-piperazine derivatives and evaluated the
antineoplastic activity using a mouse mammary carcinoma (MMC) cells grown as ascites tumor in
mice. Our data suggest that the antitumor activity of the substituted imidazoles is due to
proapoprotic and antiangiogenic effect. Pro-apoptotic activity was due to activation of nucleases,
which degrades intranucleosomal fragments. Secondly, we synthesized some 3- (4-substituted-1-
piperidinyl)-6-halogeno-1,2-benzisoxazole hydrochlorides, 3-(2-butyl-4-chloro-1H-imidazolyl)-
substituted-δ2-isoxazolines and piperazine derivatives and found that 1,2-benzisoxazole
heterocycle was an appropriate bioisosteric replacement for the benzyl functionality present in the
N-benzylpiperidine class of inhibitors for acetylcholinesterases. Further we synthesized and
characterized several alkyl/aryl derivatives of arecoline thiazolidinones, arecoline emides and
arecoline morpholines as M1 receptor agonist and screened by several in vitro and in vivo
pharmacological studies. Novel derivatives of 5-(4-methyl-benzylidene)-thiazolidine-2,4-dione
and diazaspiro bicyclo hydantoin were synthesized and evaluated for their cell antiproliferation
activity by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay viable
human skin fibroblast cell line and carcinoma cell lines namely HeLa cells, HT-29 cells, MCF-7
cells, HepG-2 cells and human leukemia, K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia) and CEM (T-cell
leukemia) cells respectively. Hydantoin derivatives possess a wide array of important biochemical
effects and interesting pharmacological properties and consequently are used to treat many
human diseases. This study was undertaken to examine the molecular mechanism that
determines the cell fate in response to DFH, DCH, DFHE and DCHE exposure in human leukemic
cell lines K562, Reh, CEM and 8E5. All the compounds exhibited dose and time dependent
cytotoxic effect. Cytotoxicity was determined using Trypan blue, MTT and LDH assay. Tritiated
thymidine assay in conjunction with cell cycle analysis suggest that these compounds inhibited
the growth of leukemic cells. The treatment of DFH, DCH, DFHE and DCHE induced an apoptotic
response, characterized by an increase of the sub-G1 fraction of cells, by cells with chromatin
condensation, DNA fragmentation. The early and late apoptosis was further quantified by dual
staining, annexin V/propidium iodide. Downregulation of PCNA and p-histone H3 confirm that the

growth inhibition could be at the level of DNA replication. Our western blot results suggests that
DFH and DFHE induces apoptosis by activation of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway such as
decreased level of antiapoptotic protein Bcl2, increased level of proapoptotic proteins Bad and
Bax, elevated levels of p53, activation and cleavage of caspase 9, caspase 3, PARP cleavage,
downregulation of DNA repair proteins like Ku70 and Ku80. To support our data, we have also
checked the expression of some of the cell cycle related and signaling proteins which are involved
in the regulation of apoptosis. Based on these results we discuss the mechanism of apoptosis
induced by DFH in K562 cells and DFHE in Reh cells and its implications in leukemia therapy.
DEVELOPMENT OF CONJUGATED POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES FOR
PHOTOCATALYSIS
Prof. M. Giridhar Department of Chemical Engineering
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore – 560 012
Solution combustion technique was used to synthesize a new TiO2 catalyst that exhibits superior
properties than the commercial catalyst. Some of its applications will be discussed initially. Next,
an heterogeneous conducting polymer composite, Poly (3-hexylthiophene) / TiO2 (P3HT/TiO2),
was synthesized. The photocatalytic activity of P3HT alone and the composite was investigated for
the first time by degrading a common dye under UV exposure. It was shown that the
photocatalytic activity of the nano-composites was higher compared to either the polymer or TiO2
alone. A simple mechanism was proposed to explain this observed synergetic effect. Next, we
investigate the uses of conjugated polymers for removal of dyes by adsorption. A method for the
selective removal of sulphonated dyes from aqueous dye solutions by using the chemical
interaction of dye molecules with polyaniline is reported. Polyaniline (PANI) emeraldine salt was
synthesized by chemical oxidation. Sulphonated dyes undergo chemical interactions with the
charged backbone of PANI leading to significant adsorption of the dyes. This phenomenon of
selective adsorption of the dyes by PANI has been reported for the first time and promises a
green method for removal of sulphonated organics from waste water. The adsorption of anionic
dyes causes the variation in electrical conductivity of PANI, indicating its potential as a
conductometric sensor for these dyes at very low concentration. The adsorbed dyes were
desorbed from the polymer by using a basic aqueous solution. The adsorption and desorption
kinetics of the dye in the presence of doped PANI were also determined.
