Abstract: Engine efficiency could be increased if valve timing could change with engine revolutions per minute. Poppet valves are fitted with strong springs which return them to their rest positions after being pushed down by cam lobes. Overcoming the spring loaded camshaft drive train requires a lot of engine power. Valve lift, lift duration and phase cannot be adapted with cam lobes on the camshaft but electromagnetic actuators or hydraulic/pneumatic phasing mechanisms could achieve change...
The main agenda of the following project is to help understand and appreciate principles and concepts of vibrations through an effective integration of software programs, MATLAB and SIMULINK, with theory. This further highlights the need for integration between mathematical analysis and engineering system design. The combination of MATLAB and SIMULINK is a powerful tool which adds a new dimension to research in vibrations systems control and to the instruction of vibrations courses since it h...
In this paper, we investigate the advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of self-driving technology. We provide an overview of the key processes involved in autonomous navigation, including perception, mapping, localization, path planning, and motion control. We highlight the crucial role of AI in the development of self-driving technologies, in particular Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning Networks (DLN), and Computer Vision Techniques (CVT). Special attention is also given ...
Every year, soybean yields are reduced by numerous diseases, especially the soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Identifying the presence of SCN and measuring its population densities in the field is challenging as there are no visible signs of disease. The only sure way to evaluate SCN population levels is to extract the cysts from the soil, extract the eggs from the cysts, and count them. Currently, this extraction process is typically done in commercial soil analysis laboratories and university pl...
ABSTRACT Automatic gate is one of most usefully thing to use in companies, colonies, collages, homes, and schools. There is some type to operate a gate such as a sliding on screw or on rack and pinion, piston operated, rotary. Design is available for some type of operation and it is most costly also When installation and maintenance cost is not yet been considered. The main objective of this Project is to study, analyze, and provide an enhanced design and performance of power supply, and als...
ABSTRACT Automation plays a very important role in every field of human life. This project presents a simple design and implementation of a Wireless E-menu Restaurant Ordering System in which the traditional paper-based menu isreplaced by a user friendly Matrix keypad-based menu. The system has Atmega 328P microcontroller which is interfaced with the input and output modules. The input module is the matrix keypad sensor which is placed on LCD (Graphical Liquid Crystal Display) to have a grap...

ABSTRACT: The rate of accidents involving tools, equipment and personnel in many technical college workshops in Rivers State is alarming and this has drastically dropped the students’ academic performances. As a means of reducing accidents to improve the students’ academic performance, this study is undertaking to determine Workshop Safety Standard Compliance on Students’ Academic Performance in Technical Colleges in Rivers State. Descriptive survey research design was employed for this...
ABSTRACT This study focuses on the design and construction of a solar cell phone charger with battery bank. It is designed to meet up with the high demand of power supply needed to keep our cell phone batteries charged especially people in open public places like traders in Kejetia market in the Ashanti region of Ghana. A solar cell phone battery charger is an electrical device that converts the energy of sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. It does this by the use o...
ABSTRACT Vehicle accidents are recently increasing at a fast rate and diverse technologies are being introduced to minimized vehicular accidents. This project work provide means of accident prevention system using eye blink sensor and automatic braking system to ensure that the vehicle gradually comes to a halt when drowsiness is detected and the driver fails to respond to the warning signal from the buzzer within the stipulated time. The hazard warning lights of the vehicle are also activate...
ABSTRACT The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the perception of the consumers of electricity regarding the use of prepaid meter system in the Koforidua Municipality. This study employed quantitative and descriptive research design to collect and analyze data. The population for this study was individuals who consume electricity in the Koforidua Municipality in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The population for the study was two thousand six hundred (2600). The random (probability) sampl...
ABSTRACT Fiber backbone is almost at the verge of replacing the microwave link completely owing to the high demand for capacity. To achieve this high capacity with fiber in other to reduce complaints of poor quality of service, proper deployment techniques must be employed by network operators. This project delves into the network elements, their installations and their interconnection topologies of the various fiber backbones deployed by all the network operators in Ghana. The analyt...
