GPU Computing: An Introduction

The graphics processing unit GPU is a computer chip that performs rapid mathematical calculations. GPU is a ubiquitous device which appears in every computing systems such PC, laptop, desktop, and workstation. It is a many core multithreaded multiprocessor that excels at both graphics and non graphic applications. GPU computing is using a GPU as a co processor to accelerate CPUs scientific and engineering computing. The paper provides a brief intro

duction to GPU computing.

A Comparative Study on Performance of Diesel Engine using Jatropha Biodiesel as Fuel

The idea of waste recycle and energy recovery plays a very important role for the economical growth of nation. The world faces the crisis of regular rise of petroleum prices, energy demand and exhaustion of fossil fuel resources. As a renewable, sustainable and alternative fuel for compression ignition engine, biodiesel instead of diesel has been increasingly became popular. Biodiesel, derived from the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats. In this paper we investigate the prospective of Jatropha oil to use as a Bio fuel in the conventional diesel engine. The aim of the present paper is to do a comprehensive review of engine performance and emissions using Jatropha biodiesel from different feedstock and to compare that with the diesel. From this review it is found that the use of Jatropha biodiesel and its blends leads to the substantial reduction in CO and HC emissions accompanying with the imperceptible power loss, the increase in fuel consumption and the slight increase in CO2 and NOx emission on conve

ntional diesel engine without modification. Since Jatropha biodiesel has many similarities to diesel fuel, it can be directly used in diesel engine without any modification.

LoRa Technology - DNA of IoT

Although many techniques exist to transfer data from the widely distributed sensors that make up the Internet of Things IoT e.g., using 3G 4G networks or cables , these methods are associated with prohibitively high costs, making them impractical for real life applications. LoRa Long Range modulation together with LoRaWAN LoRa Wide Area Networks communication protocol can represent a suitable candidate ensuring a high level of performance in wireless technologies. The objective is to contribute toward the realization of LoRa as a viable communication technology for applications that needs long range links and deployed in a distributed manner. The LoRaWAN networks are the evolution of wireless sensor networks directed to the IoT concept, which entails sensor connectivity to the Internet. LoRa technology is s

ummarized by reviewing some aspects regarding the architecture, security and application of the technology.

Microhardness of Silicon Nitride Ceramic and Its Composites

Micro hardness research studies on various non oxide ceramics will be carried out. These ceramics include silicon nitride and the composites of silicon nitride. Micro hardness measurement of these ceramics i.e. vicker will be carried out using diamond indenters. Various influences of load and time of indentation on hardness values of these ceramics will be carried out in detail. Fracture toughness of these ceramics was also studied using vicker indentation. The vicker ha

rdness of these ceramics decreases with increasing load, similar influence was observed by increasing time of indentation.

Motion Control of Mobile Robots using Fuzzy Controller

In this study, a motion control based on fuzzy logic is designed so that mobile robots can make the turns they make when moving in an unknown environment more flexibly and smoothly. Fuzzy logic control is suitable for controlling mobile robots because the results can be obtained under uncertainty. Fuzzy logic control is implemented through a set of rules created using expert knowledge. The fuzzy rules created in this paper are designed

to allow mobile robots to escape from obstacles, to avoid contact with walls, and to make soft turns without harming their structure. According to the obtained simulation results, the mobile robot has been shown to have successful results in fuzzy logic based motion control.

Q-Learnıng Based Real Tıme Path Plannıng for Mobıle Robots

Decision making and movement control are used for mobile robots to perform the given tasks. This study presents a real time application in which the robotic system estimates the shortest way from robot's current location to target point via Q learning algorithm and makes decision to go the target point on the estimated path by using movement control. Q Learning algorithm is known as a Reinforcement Learning RL algorithm. In this study, it is used as a core algorithm for estimation of the path that is optimum way for mobile robot in an environment. The environment is viewed by a camera. This study includes three phases. Firstly, the map and the locations of all objects including a mobile robot, obstacles and target point in the environment are determined by using image processing. Secondly, Q Learning algorithm is applied for the problem of the estimation of the shortest way from the current location of the robot to target

point. Finally, a mobile robot with three omni wheels was developed. Experiments were carried out using this robot. Two different experiments are performed in experimental environment. The results obtained are shared at the end of the paper.
