Quality is one of the most important concerns of our society. Many significant resources have been invested in order to ensure that certain products and services have the quality expected by the customer. Quality assurance systems are the key to success for many companies.
The proposed work deals with a fabrication and testing of a battery electric vehicle with self-charging system for 2 passengers and for weight up to 250 kg. An attempt has been made to fabricate a self-charging battery electric vehicle which utilizes the rotational energy of wheels to charge the batteries,
This project proposes an improved Green Taxiing system focused around the landing gear. Because single-aisle aircraft should represent 70% of the deliveries over the next 20 years, a typical 200-passenger aircraft, similar to the Airbus A320 or the Boeing 737, flying a two-hour mission is chosen as the baseline for the sizing process.
Development of a wireless capsule endoscope is a growing research area because it could be easily swallowed by patients to capture images of the digestive system without pain. But a drawback of the current capsule endoscope is mainly passive-motion-type-endoscope. To overcome this drawback,
When you are shopping at the mall you generally avoid brittle items (glass items, pots) because you don’t have a good bag with you. Otherwise you will use multiple bags for multiple items.

Enclosure lucratively modernizes infrastructures. The reduced cost of providing a smaller structural and technological undertaking pales in comparison to today's cost and the values of all the increased efficiencies and enhanced capabilities which will reliably come out of their integration into a secure and controlled environment.
This report describes the process of planning, designing, fabricating and testing an electric bike. It provides the detail of the challenges of modifying an existing mechanical system to one that is based on a set of electro-mechanical interfaces that provide assists. Through designing an electro-mechanical system, with various non-human inputs and feedback channels,
This is a novel adjustable aircraft propeller assembly for multi-dimensional movement and is capable of vertical takeoff and which includes a fuselage without control surfaces. A duct is formed through each wing and a tilt rotor assembly is mounted within the duct for providing downward thrust causing lift.
