1. Patron-H

The aim of this paper is to describe the method of temperature regulation of a networked house. In the temperature regulation process, we do not use any type of refrigerant like CFC and HFC. It is beneficial to the environment as no harmful gases are used in the temperature regulation of the house by using air conditioner. The temperature regulation of the house is basically done with the help of peltier chip which works on the principle of PELTIER EFFECT. In this type of temperature regulation there is no use of compressor and pump for the refrigeration. Peltier module is an electric module which produces a temperature difference when current flows through it. The emergence of the temperature difference is based on peltier effect. The thermo-electric module is a heat pump and has the same junction as the refrigerator. The heat flow can be turned by the reversal of the direction of current.

2. The effect of education classes in addition to home exercise program in community based middle aged hypertensive adults

The aims of this study is: To see the effect of education on blood pressure BMI, HR, QOL in community based middle aged hypertensive adults; To see the effect of education classes in addition to home exercise program on blood pressure BMI, HR, QOL in community based middle aged hypertensive adults; and Finally, to compare the effects of education class & education classes in addition to home exercise program on BP, BMI, HR & QOL in community based middle aged hypertensive adults. The study is conducted to see the effect of education classes and education classes in addition to home exercise program on 1.BMI, 2. Heart rate, 3. Systolic BP, 4. Diastolic BP and 5. Quality of life using SF-36. It is a quasi-experimental study. he main findings of the present study were that difference in means of BMI, Systolic BP, Diastolic BP and PCS score and MCS score scores of SF-36 (QOL) questionnaire were found to be statistically significant within group A and group B using paired t-test. In Group C an increase in BMI, HR Systolic BP and Diastolic BP were found, which were statistically significant. There was no change in PCS and MCS scores of SF-36 in group C. The change in Heart Rate, was not significant in group A, B & C. The present study was done to see the effect of education classes in addition to home exercise program in community based middle-aged hypertensive adults with mean age of 47.27±5.869 years in Group A, 44.87±3.720 years in Group B and 47.33±4.964 in Group. In the present study mean difference of HR was not found to be statistically significant within 3 groups. Mean difference of HR was not found to be statistically significant between three group A, B and C. In the present study mean difference of Systolic BP and Diastolic BP in Group A was found to be statistically significant. Mean difference of Systolic BP and Diastolic BP was found to be statistically significant between groups A, B and C. Difference in PCS and MCS scores of SF-36 (QOL) within the group A was found to be statistically significant in the present study. Mean difference of PCS and MCS between groups A & B was also found to be statistically significant. Difference in means in Group C of BMI, Systolic BP, Diastolic BP were increased and statistically significant. Difference in HR was not found to be statistically significant. In Group C PCS & MCS scores did not change pre & post intervention. As a result, it was concluded that, Education classes in middle aged hypertensive subjects decreases BMI, BP & improves QOL. Education + Home Exercise Program for 6 weeks decreases BMI, BP & improves QOL in middle aged hypertensive subjects. Education + exercise in more effective than education alone in decreasing BMI, BP & improves QOL.

3. Validity of St. George’s respiratory questionnaire in lung cancer population

AIMS : To determine the concurrent validity of St. George Respiratory Questionnaire with Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire as a gold standard measure to measure health related quality of life in respiratory (chronic airflow limitation) diseases . OBJECTIVE: To check the validity of St. George Respiratory Questionnaire in lung cancer population. Methodology: Cross Sectional Study design Results: There is high to moderate correlation between domains of SGRQ and CRQ & there is moderate correlation between domain of SGRQ and SF – 36. Discussion: One way of capturing the personal and social context of patients is to use HRQoL measures. The inclusion of HRQoL in clinical investigations has increased significantly during the last two decades, as has the development of psychometrically sound HRQoL instruments to measure a variety of health conditions. In present study, Results indicate high correlation(r = - 0.826, p<0.05) between SGRQ and CRQ and moderate correlation(r = - 0.697, p<0.05) between SGRQ and SF-36, because SF-36 is generic health related questionnaire while CRQ is disease specific questionnaire.38 Conclusion: Our results suggest that the SGRQ is a valid measure to assess HRQOL in subject with Lung cancer. The SGRQ is valid and compares well with the CRQ and SF-36. There was an excellent concurrent validity for SGRQ and CRQ, moderate concurrent validity of SGRQ with SF-36 in lung cancer.

4. DREIRAD

The aim of this paper is to explore DREIRAD modeling. The German word DREIRAD means trike. It is a three-wheel motor-based vehicle with a tadpole configuration that is two front wheels and one rear wheel. This design has more robustness than delta design. On the rear the vehicles are powered with electric motor and brakes. The vehicle will run on both electricity and solar power. Sun powered solar-panels are connected to the vehicle so that the vehicle can be charged at the time of driving or elsewhere where there is no electricity supply Theft detection and LDR sensors are used. LDR is used as a register of light dependents. Theft detection sensor is used for the purposes of security. This is eco-friendly due to use of electricity and solar panel. It reduces energy wastage and reduces pollution.

5. Vision based obstacle avoidance mobile robot

Nowadays, there are many different types of devices to assist or help people more proficiency because of the improvement of the modern technologies and researches. Tracking and avoiding the real time object becomes the important concept in computer vision. Therefore, the implementation of obstacle avoidance mobile robot based on its color and area is presented in this paper. The mobile robot consists of pi camera module, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, DC motors and four wheels. Pi Camera is used to capture live streaming surrounding the robot. The captured images of the object are processed with raspberry pi by using OpenCV library. The obstacle detection is performed by using Blob Detection method and YCbCr color system. After detection, the color, size and location of the object can be used to avoid it. The variation in horizontal and vertical axis of detected object is sent to the controller depending on the change in position of object and proper commands are given to the robot to avoid the obstacle.
