Improvisation and Modification in Gearbox Components to Expedite Production | Chapter 9 | Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 2

Agriculture is one of the main occupations in India. For that, a lot of machines are required. As the demand is increasing day by day, the tractor industry has planned to upgrade its system and work culture along with the manufacturing techniques. During this process, the company has decided to improvise their products.  As a part of the background study which needs to be done for this study, design and manufacturing of the gear box has been studied and has been noticed that some improvisations can be done in the manufacturing part as the turning operation is taking way much longer time than any other operation in the process. Turning operations of input shaft and lay shaft has been taken into consideration to expedite the production. This study aims at the manufacturing of input shaft and the lay shaft. Aiming to increase the production, an attempt has been made to improvise the CNC codes for faster production and also to improvise the work culture and operation techniques.

Studies Effect on Structural Relaxation of the x(AgI+KI)+(1-x)NH4I System Base on Thermal Measurements: New Perspectives | Chapter 16 | Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 2

Structural phase transitions in the x(AgI+KI)+(1-x)NH4I system, allowed quantifying the structural relaxation of the phases: : NH4Ag4I5 and : KAg4I5 respectively, being correlated with the NH4I content and with the presence of the glass phase within the compound. It is noticed the importance of having a first thermal treatment of the compound, in order to erase the thermal history. The spontaneous liberation of the residual enthalpy is achieved by using a Ta = 308 K isotherm for a twohour time span. Based on the obtained data, it is presented the phase diagram for variations from x = 0.45 to 0.95.

Real Time Static Gesture Recognition Using Time of Flight Camera: Scientific Approach | Chapter 7 | Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 2

Hand gesture recognition is challenging task in machine vision due to similarity between inter class samples and high amount of variation in intra class samples. The gesture recognition independent of light intensity, independent of color has drawn some attention due to its requirement where system should perform during night time also. This paper provides an insight into dynamic hand gesture recognition using depth data and images collected from time of flight camera. It provides user interface to track down natural gestures. The area of interest and hand area is first segmented out using adaptive thresholding and region labeling. It is assumed that hand is the closet object to camera. A novel algorithm is proposed to segment the hand region only. The noise due to ToF camera measurement is eliminated by preprocessing algorithms. There are two algorithms which we have proposed for extracting the hand gestures features. The first algorithm is based on computing the region distance between the fingers and second one is about computing the shape descriptor of gesture boundary in radial fashion from the centroid of hand gestures. For matching the gesture the distance between two independent regions is computed for every row and column. Same process is repeated across the columns. The number of total region transitions are computed for every row and column. This number of transitions across rows and columns forms the feature vector. The proposed solution is easily able to deal with static and dynamic gestures. In case of second approach we compute the distance between the gesture centroid and shape boundaries at various angles from 0 to 360 degrees. These distances forms the feature vector. Comparison of result shows that this method is very effective in extracting the shape features and competent enough in terms of accuracy and speed. The gesture recognition algorithm mentioned in this paper can be used in automotive infotainment systems, consumer electronics where hardware needs to be cost effective and the response of the system should be fast enough.

Curriculum Design: An Indicative Guide | Chapter 6 | Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 2

Curriculum design is an important part of an academic system. It describes the contextual relationship between various elements of teaching learning process. Constructive alignment of various elements of academic system viz., educational objectives, instructional strategies and assessment is very much essential. This process starts with effective curriculum design understanding the requirements of all stakeholders. Curriculum design has to be done as a scientific process that clearly reflects and addresses the way to attain the objectives.  In the present chapter an attempt has re-iterated for an effective curriculum design framework.

Smart Agriculture: IOT with Cloud Computing, Fog Computing and Edge Computing | Chapter 4 | Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 2

Smart Farming could be a explained as a farming method which works on the thought process of a fashionable technology to increase the yield of the amount and quality of agricultural merchandise. IoT-based smart farming, a system solely made for the observation of crops in the field with the assistance of sensors and automating the irrigation system in accordance to our needs. Antique cloud-based system which uses mostly IoT models are inadequate to handle the traffic and the database of knowledge. So as to an extent it turns out to be lower latency, longer battery life for IoT devices, a lot of efficient money-based knowledge management, access to knowledge management and AI, ML IoT-EDGE based system is proposed or may be adopted. Edge for the IoT brings potential edges for several IoT deployments, as well as removal of interval in conjunction with geometric communications potency, compared to exploitation of the cloud to process and store knowledge. For example, several IoT processes will have a high level of automation at the sting leading to low latency for fast processing. The machine if ogsim is employed for modelling and simulating the sting based mostly on the IoT system which also includes the edge and the fog. The results of this method are to indicate that Edge computing based mostly IoT models are a lot of economical and extremely fast and may turn out and provide higher results when put next to different systems.
