Women safety system using Arduino UNO and integrated safety app
It is an accepted fact that brutal crimes against women are occurring in India daily. Now many Indians do not deny or shy away from conversations relating to eve-teasing, sexual assaults or rape. Even the common man's conversation on the streets often steers towards the escalated and horrendous attacks on women. The device called as “Virtual Friend” is specially designed for the women in trouble. It is a device used for the women in a chaotic situation. The basic approach is to use the Arduino Uno microcontroller based on ATmega328P has the function of send and receive data which is provided by Arduino GSM shield using GSM network. Arduino Uno gets the coordinates of the current location; it transfers the coordinate details to the user’s smartphone via Arduino GSM shield. The SOS light is a signal used to alert the passerby and it gives the sign of universal help to the victim who is in distress. The alarm buzzer is activated if the woman is in danger situation. In the critical situation, the women send the message or make a call including the location of the particular incident to the registered contacts through the use of GSM and GPS.

MFCC feature extraction for speech recognition with hybrid application
To analyze and detect human voice in different applications such as military area, medical field, and telecommunication for assigning tasks according to it. In this Human voice recognized using MFCC features with a network in such a way that it recognizes only specific person speech commands with exit the program for another one. This paper represents with a wide range of feature extraction algorithm available, MFCC is the is a leading approach for speech feature extraction and our current research aims to apply it on real-time hybrid based applications i.e. home automation and robotic application. The ANN has been trained for commands LIGHTS ON, LIGHTS OFF, FAN ON and FAN OFF for home automation as well as LEFT, RIGHT, FORWARD, BACK, STOP for our robotics application. Thingspeak IOT cloud has been used as the server to send/receive commands between two clients, the PC/laptop from where the speech command is sent and the Raspberry Pi where the command will be used to control the robot and relays for home automation. The best part of the proposed system is that controlling the devices is independent of the location of the speaker. The result shows the proposed method has achieved an accuracy of 96.64% for robotic application and 94.63% for home automation speech commands.

Breast cancer detection using microstrip patch antenna
Breast cancer is an invasive disease in women which needs early detection. Different approaches have been done to detect cancer using different types of the antenna-like circular patch antenna, microstrip antenna, t-shaped slotted antenna and slotted rectangular antenna. There are even many techniques for the detection of breast cancer like mammography, microwave imaging which have limitations. The microwave imaging is safer method when compared to X-Ray. In this review paper, a circular microstrip patch antenna using FR-4 substrate, microstrip slot antenna, rectangular microstrip patch antenna, hemispherical antenna array, Pentagonal patch antenna array which resonates at different frequencies are used to detect the breast cancer.

Design analysis of slide force testing machine
This master of engineering project was carried out at a GLOBAL AUTOMATION, which manufactures special purpose machine and material handling equipment. The force carrying capacity of brake caliper can be measured by using the slide force testing machine. The design of the slide force testing machine is developed by using solid edge software and by using thumb rule. The aim of this project is to analyze the design of slide force testing machine in order to optimize the design in such a way that it should be utilized by this company in future. The project focuses on choosing the optimize design of the slide force testing machine. The final aim was to create a modified design to achieve high-quality production with lesser cost, which enhances both the efficiency and productivity. With the help of ansys software, it is possible to analyze the design of the slide force testing machine.

A parametric study of blended cement
Development of infrastructure play vital role in the economic development of any country. Our country is unable to complete the targeted length of roads as the cost of construction is increasing at an alarming rate due to increasing cost of construction materials. Partial or full replacement of conventional materials by suitable waste materials results in reduced construction costs and also helps in safe disposal of waste. Researchers have performed studies on utilizing waste materials such as Crusher Dust. Zink slag, Copper slag, scraps tires, etc.In pavement construction. In this investigation fly ash was used, because it is available in large quantities in the country as a waste product The use of fly ash as a replacement of sand and cement is an economical solution for making green and denser concrete. The study of the mechanical properties of concrete with 30 percent replacement of sand with (bottom ash), partial replacement of cement by…… and use of superplasticizer is presented in this thesis. The effect of blending fly ash content (15% to 45%) and replacing equal amount of cement for paving concrete was studied. Various mixes were developed for paving concrete, which aimed to meet the required specification provided by the (MORTH) . To address the strength and toughness, both closed-loop compression and flexure tests were conducted. The results were compared with the control concrete specimens prepared using the current mix design procedures of the IS : 10262. Test results indicated that up to 25% cement could be replaced by blending coal fly ash, resulting in high strength. The strength of concrete with 25% fly ash was higher than both the control concrete and the concrete containing 15% fly ash. At 25% cement replacement, the strength of M40 grade concrete exceeded 52 MPa in the lab with higher slump. The strength of concrete increased due to better particle packing by the inclusion of fly ash as a partial replacement of sand and cement as compared to control concrete. Also since workability is increased. There is further scope of reduction of water, which will further reduce the required quantity of cement. The results also indicated 13% higher flexural strength by the inclusion of as a partial replacement of sand, as compared to control concrete. The proposed mix design can save up to 103kg. Of cement per cum when compared to the conventional mix design, and resulted in fly ash utilization, to the tune of 298Kg per cum of concrete.

Fuzzy controller based boost PFC converter for EV application
The scarcity of fossil fuel and the increased pollution leads to the use of Electric Vehicles (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) instead of conventional Internal Combustion (IC) engine vehicles. In EVs and HEVs, a battery is used as the main power source, so that battery charger is treated as the core technology. Battery charger based on a unidirectional non-isolated boost power factor correction (PFC) converter for electric vehicles (EV) is introduced here. This non-isolated high gain boost PFC converter automatically balances the output voltages for an unbalanced load without the need for any additional control strategy or auxiliary circuit. For EV charging application one of the important factors is that the battery chargers should consume sinusoidal current with controlled power factor for contributing to the power quality in the future Smart Grids and high voltage gain for charging the battery. This converter can improve the power quality and can control the output voltage according to the demand of the battery. Due to these advantages, it can be used for electric vehicle charging application. Fuzzy control has been used for switching pulse generation in the converter. The topology has been simulated in MATLAB2014a and the various waveforms were analyzed. The control circuit was implemented using dsPIC30F2010. An experimental prototype of the converter was set up and the results were verified.
