Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Dennis Ritchie, a computer scientist, was able to identify the gaps and tap out the best features from both B and BCPL languages to invent a new hybrid.
Hence, C was born in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. A remarkably simple and highly readable programming language resulted in groundbreaking advancements in the IT industry.
✅What is C++ Programming?
C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations.
✅C++ Career Prospects:
With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack

6. STANDARD DESCRIPTION
IEEE STD-1118.1-1990
This standard describes a serial control bus for interdevice/intrabuilding interconnection of
microcontrollers. Intrasite interconnection is also provided. This standard, which focuses on
OS1 layers 1,2, and 7, may be used with other standards and practices to effect total solu-
tions to specific applications. This standard defines an interconnect bus for (but not limited to)
microcontrollers and devices with limited reprogram ability. This bus provides a multi-drop
bit-serial communication protocol that will allow the interconnection of distributed, indepen-
dently manufactured devices. The protocol is optimized for instrumentation, distributed data
acquisition systems, control devices, and test and measurement. The purpose of Section 1 is to
serve as the foundation for the standard. It contains the overall definition of the bus network
as well as a reference model for protocol sections. Protocol descriptions are contained in later
sections of this document. This section contains the basis for those descriptions, such as the
primitives employed to describe interactions between layers in the protocol reference model.
An important part of this section is a description of what is meant by conformance to IEEE Std
1118-1990.

CHAPTER 1
1 INTRODUCTION
An end illuminator is a surgical tool used to provide light for surgeons inside the body. Also
known as a chandelier end illuminator or chandelier probe, in vitreoretinal surgery this type of
surgical lighting tool can help surgeons better see their operating field and improve visualiza-
tion of challenges that may occur. Some end illuminators can be placed into a cannula while
others are inserted into the vitreous cavity. The main objective of the project is using endo
illuminator light for eye surgery to decrease the complexity of dealing with eye surgery.
Some of the endo illuminator equipment has fixed brightness so that we need not be able
to change brightness. So that by adding brightness increment and decrement technique which
help the surgeons during surgery. The wireless feature is also available which can easily oper-
ate the equipment through mobile or some sort of remote and also replacing buttons instead of
touch screen for incrementing and decrementing brightness. In this project the LED light fiber
design (0.5 mm) for stabilizes the 23-25gauge tip in the eye and provides up to 20-25 lumen
of measured illumination. Easy insertion and removal without suture placement make it con-
venient to change the position of the device during surgery and efficiently shorten surgical time.
This suture-free 23-25gauge endo illumination efficiency of vitreous surgery. For most
surgical sub specialties, the key to illumination is brightness the brighter the better. The prob-
lem for retinal surgeons is that, although we would like our surgical environment to be brighter,
we face the risk of retinal photo-toxicity, a risk unique to ophthalmologists and highest for
retina surgeons. So we must balance our desire for a brighter surgical field against the risk of
creating retinal damage. One of the greatest advantages of the newer USFDA approved led
light chips has been the creation of clinically useful medical lighted instruments.

light source: Bahri Aydin, Erdem Dinc ¸S. Necat Yilmaz, U. Emrah Alti-
parmak.
This study evaluates retinal toxicity due to endoillumination with the light-emitting diode
(LED) light source in comparison to endoillumination with xenon light source. Material and
methods: Twenty-five eyes of 14 New Zealand pigmented rabbits were used in the study. The
LED light (Omesis Medical Systems, Turkey) group was composed of 7 right eyes, while the
other 7 right eyes constituted the xenon group (420nm filter, 357mW/cm2) (Bright Star; DORC,
Zuidland, Netherlands). Eleven untreated left eyes composed the control group. Twenty gauge
pars plana incision 1.5mm behind the limbus was performed in the right eyes. Twenty gauge
bullet type fiber optic endoilluminator was inserted into the eye from the incision without any
pars plana vitrectomy. Fiberoptic endoilluminator was placed in such a way that it was directed
toward visual streak of the rabbit retina with a 5mm distance to retinal surface. Endoillu-
mination was then applied for 20 min with a maximum light intensity for LED and xenon
light. In left control eyes, no surgical procedure and no endoillumination were performed. One
week after the endoillumination procedure, both eyes of the rabbits were Enucleated follow-
ing electroretinography. Twenty-five eyes of 14 New Zealand pigmented rabbits were used in
the study. The LED light (Omesis Medical Systems,Turkey) group was composed of seven
right eyes, while the other seven right eyes constituted the xenon group (420 nmfilter) (Bright
Star; DORC, Zuidland, Netherlands). Eleven untreated left eyes composed the control group.
Three eyes of three rabbits were excluded from the study because of retinal tear formation. All
animals were treated in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration for the use of animals in oph-
thalmic and vision research and the protocol was approved by the Ethic committee on animal
research of Mersin University.
Electroretinography means there was no difference in the shape of the waveforms recorded
in the eyes endoilluminated with LED light and xenon light sources compared to control eyes
both before and after endoillumination application. For both the dark adapted ERG and the
light adapted ERG, no significant changes were observed in the ratios of the a-wave latency,
a-wave amplitude-wave amplitude and b-wave ERG latency compared with the baseline ERG
in LED endoillumination, xenon endoillumination and control groups (p40.05).

[2] Higher Risk of Light-Induced Retinal Damage Due to Increase of In-
traocular Irradiance by Endoillumination: Philipp S. Koelbl . Martin
Hessling. Christian Lingenfelder, Sebastian Kupferschmid.
All applied illumination systems are validated according to a standard that measures in an
experimental setup the direct radiation intensity on a surface in an aqueous solution, not in-
volving an eyeball. Due to various factors, multiple intraocular light-tissue interactions could
occur and lead to retinal irradiation intensities that are higher than the irradiation caused by
direct illumination. The aim of this work is to investigate the hypothesis that intraocular and
technical reference irradiancies different. For intraocular measurements, porcine eyes of local
slaughterhouse were adduced. Five eyes with a blue iris and nine eyes with a brown iris were
selected to investigate potential differences between levels of pigmentation. The measurements
were taken on the day of thee nucleation. The porcine eye model was chosen because healthy
human fresh enucleated eyes were not available due to ethical guidelines. Porcine eyes are an
approved model in ophthalmic research because the anatomical composition is very similar to
that of humans. Using an illumination system and calibrated optical fiber, the irradiance in
porcine eyes was measured at the posterior pole (macula)and compared with reference mea-
surements.
Employed was the light source of the AccurusSurgical System version 600 DS from
Alcon Laboratories Inc. (Fort Worth, TX, USA) with halogen lamp. For intraocular illumi-
nation, two different endoilluminators were utilized to investigate different angular radiation
profiles.A hand-held 23G wide-field endoilluminator from Geuder (GH; Fig. 1a, b) and a 23G
spotlight endoilluminator from Alcon (AH; Fig. 1c,d) were adduced. Both were implemented
usinga 23G trocar from Alcon. For the irradiance on a defined surface, the radiation angle of
the emitter is relevant. Since this angle can change during the transition between two optical
media (Snell’s law), it is important to measure in a medium that has the same refractive index
as in the later application.Here the measurements were performed in 0.9%NaCl solution (n =
1.33). The mean values and the standard deviations were calculated for the defined distances
to the detection tip. A correlation was determined for each measuring series. To determine the
error of the ratio Qintra/ref between intraocular and reference irradiance, the error propagation
was calculated. In order to investigate and test the suspected effects, the data was examined
for statistical significance with IBM SPSS Statistics. The surveys were examined for normal
distribution, to check the requirements fort tests and the Welch test. To examine the difference
between intraocular and reference irradiance, the Welch test was selected. The Welch test was
also adduced to determine the difference in intraocular irradiance between eyes with blue and
brown irises. The paired t test was used to examine the irradiances in the same samples with
3

different endoilluminators. Finally, the Cohen coefficients d and r for effect size of differences
between the mean values were calculated for each test.
[3] Outer retinal changes in endoilluminator-induced phototoxic macu-
lopathy evident on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography: Seung
Hoon Oh MD,Kyu Seop Kim MD PhD,Won Ki Lee MD PhD.
A variety of light sources, including sunlight, welding arcs, operation microscopes and en-
doilluminators can damage the retina.1–4The mechanism of this retinal damage is commonly
thought to be a photochemical reaction on the photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium
(RPE).5 Phototoxic retinal changes are usually subtle and uncommon and they are difficult
clinically to identify. Herein, we present a case of an endoilluminator induced phototoxic mac-
ulopathy diagnosed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
In our case, metamorphosis developed postoperatively but there were no apparent abnor-
mal findings upon funds examination.SD-OCT showed retinal oedema, photoreceptor integrity
line disruption and a thick hyper-reflective lesion in the outer retina. These changes correspond
to the histological findings from animal studies of retinal phototoxicityand in vivo studies of
phototoxicityusing adaptive optics.6,7 These studies described structural disorganisation of the
outer segment of photoreceptors and focal pigment epithelial proliferation after light exposure.
In our case, the endoilluminator was used in proximity to the retina on the nasal side of the fovea
for a prolonged time due to difficulties peeling the internal limiting membrane. In addition, the
inner retina over the area of outer retinal thickening was relatively intact on SD-OCT. The trac-
tional force during internal limiting membrane peeling may have also produced mechanical
strain to the retinal layer, which may have led to retinal oedema in the area of internal limiting
membrane peeling and retinal folds at the internal limiting membrane-peeled margin on OCT
(Figure 2, B1 and B2). These changes were resolved within one monthpost-operatively. On the
other hand, hyper reflective outer retinal thickening nasal to the fovea still remained (Figure 2,
C1 andC2). Therefore, the cause of the metamorphosis seemed to originate from phototoxic
damage by the endoilluminator.
The path physiology of the different OCT findings is not fully understood. The wave-
length, power and exposure time of light may involve various clinical manifestations and affect
the extent of retinal phototoxic damage. Retinal photo toxicity is a function of the wavelength
of the light source, duration of exposure and power level. As the exposure time or power in-
creases, the total energy delivered to the retina increases.

[4] Endoilluminator phototoxic maculopathy associated with combined ICG-
assisted epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane peeling: Yoshi-
hiro Yonekawa, Ashkan M Abbey, Ankoor RShah, Benjamin J Thomas
Phototoxic maculopathy caused by endoillumination during macular surgery is uncommon.
Previously identified risk factors have included intensity of the light source, proximity to the
retinal surface, and length of exposure. In the era of indocyanine green (ICG)-assisted internal
limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, the use of ICG, and the technique of ILM peeling may both
contribute to subsequent phototoxic maculopathy. We present cases of routine chromovitrec-
tomy who developed phototoxic maculopathy in the precise discrete distribution of the ILM
rhexes, and discuss potential mechanisms and implications.
Visualization of near-transparent tissues during vitreoretinal surgery is greatly enhanced
with endoillumination. However, the trade-off to maximizing visualization during macular
surgery is the potential for macular phototoxicity if the intensity or duration of exposure is
past a certain threshold. Phototoxic outer retinopathy from endoillu¬mination has been well
documented for decades.Recent advances in vitreoretinal surgical techniques have new impli-
cations for phototoxic maculopathy. First, the advent of smaller gauge instrumentation has led
to a reduction in light pipe diameter and a consequent decrease in illumination, which requires
the surgeon to compensate by increasing light intensity.1 Second, internal limit¬ing membrane
(ILM) peeling has been finding an increasing number of indications. It assures the complete
removal of epiretinal membranes and tangential traction, but may produce iatrogenic retinal
damage.2,3 Third, ILM peeling is commonly assisted with indocyanine green (ICG) staining
in the United States. Although the clinical experience with ICG has been mostly benign, it has
been implicated in many animal and in vitro models to confer a risk for phototoxicity due to its
photosensitizing properties.
We present two cases of ICG-assisted ILM peeling that resulted in geographic pigmen-
tary maculopathies precisely underlying the areas where the ILM rhexes were performed. We
hypothesize that surgical factors associated with ILM peeling and intravitreal ICG may have
contributed to these well-circumscribed lesions.The phototoxic effects of endoillumination
have been recog¬nized since the initial years of vitrectomy.5–8 Light toxicity occurs through
two mechanisms: photothermal damage, caused by increases in kinetic energy and subsequent
temperature rise, leading to loss of molecular structures, and photochemical damage, resulting
from free radical damage to photoreceptor and RPE cell membranes.

3 NEED ANALYSIS AND OBJECTIVE
3.1 NEED ANALYSIS
This product already existed but it has some drawbacks which have an adapter only used for
particular surgery, it may be ocular or optho surgeries. Due to this drawback we cannot use this
equipment for multiple surgeries.Then the other drawback is based on LED which produces
low lux(light intensity) due to this reason the surgeons cannot find the minute particles during
eye surgeries.The older endoilluminator equipments have a probe buttons mechanism which
cannot give accurate light intensity.So the surgeons felt difficult to handle this type of mecha-
nism during surgeries.
We are proposing an idea which overcomes these existing drawbacks and provides new
technology. We are using changeable adapters which can be used for multiple surgeries like
ocular, optho surgeries etc. So, by changeable adapters surgeons can be benefited with using
single equipment for multiple surgeries. It is connecting to the heat sink which produces some
heat while the kit is working, so to reduce the heat we are placing cooling fans to exhaust the
heat from the equipment.
We are using LED which is nothing but luminous LED that produces high lux, due to
that the surgeons can find minute particles during the surgeries. We are replacing the probe
button mechanism with visual display (Touch Screen) that can help surgeons to increase or
decrease the percentage of light intensity. We are using Arduino Uno with microcontroller of
ATMega 328p IC which is interfacing with 7 segment LCD screen or panel. Two SMPS are
5v 25Amp & 5v 2Amp one is connecting to luminous LED and other is connect to Arduino
respectively. The cooling fans are used to exhaust the heat.

4.1.1 ATMEGA 328p IC:
The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers.
All the 32 registers are directly connected to the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), allowing two
independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The
resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster
than conventional CISC microcontrollers. The Atmel ATmega328P provides the following
features: 32K bytes of in-system programmable flash with read-while-write capabilities, 1K
bytes EEPROM, 2K bytes SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working

registers, three flexible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts,
a serial programmable USART, a byte oriented 2-wire serial interface, an SPI serial port, a
6-channel 10-bit ADC (8 channels in TQFP and QFN/MLF packages), a programmable watch-
dog timer with internal oscillator, and five software selectable power saving modes. The idle
mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, USART, 2-wire serial inter-
face, SPI port, and interrupt system to continue functioning.
The power-down mode saves the register contents but freezes the oscillator, disabling all
other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In power-save mode, the asyn-
chronous timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer base while the rest of
the device is sleeping. The ADC noise reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules ex-
cept asynchronous timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during ADC conversions. In
standby mode, the crystal/resonator oscillator is running while the rest of the device is sleeping.
This allows very fast start-up combined with low power consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel high density non-volatile memory technology.
The on-chip ISP flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an
SPI serial interface, by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer, or by an on-chip boot
program running on the AVR core. The boot program can use any interface to download the
application program in the application flash memory. Software in the boot flash section will
continue to run while the application flash section is updated, providing true read-while-write
operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with in-system self-programmable flash on a
monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega328P is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly
flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications. The ATmega328P
AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools including: C
compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, in-circuit emulators, and evalua-
tion kits.

4.1.2 DRIVER IC 817:
PC-817 is also known as an optocoupler / optoisolator. It consists of Infrared Emitting Diode
(IRED). This IRED is coupled to a photo transistor optically and not electrically. It is closed in
a four (4) pin package. This package is usually available in two different forms. The first one is
wide lead (Pb) spacing option and the second one is SMT gullwing lead form option. PC 817
has an internal LED and a photo transistor. The photo transistor’s base becomes activate when
LED throws light on it. The output obtained can be divided into two formats either common
emitter or common collector. But the configuration is mostly common emitter. If the LED does
not glow, transistor remains off and hence there will b no output generated by the optocoupler
i.e. PC-817. PC 817 has different feature e.g. double transfer mold package, current transfer
ratio, different CTR ranks available, RoHS comliant, lead (Pb) free etc. Its real life application
includes noise suppression in switching circuits, programmable controllers, signal transmission
between circuits having different voltages, signal transmission between different impedance
etc. The further detail about PC817 will be given later in this tutorial.
Figure 4: Driver IC 817
PC817 is a 4 Pin optocoupler, consists of an Infrared Emitting Diode (IRED) & photo
transistor, which enables it optically connected but electrically insulated. Inrared Emitting
Diode is connected to first two Pins and if we apply power to it, then IR waves are emitted from
this diode, which makes the photo transistor forward biased. If there’s no power on the input
side, diode will stop emitting IR waves and thus photo transistor will reverse biased. PC817 is
normally used in embedded project for isolation purposes. In my embedded projects, I place
PC817 after Microcontroller Pins to isolate back EMF, in case of motor control etc. PC-817
has several applications e.g. noise suppression in switching circuits, input/output isolation for
MCU (Micro Controller Unit).

4.1.3 MOSFET-IRF 3205:
It is an N-Channel HEXFET Power MOSFET that comes in a TO-220AB package and
operates on 55V and 110A. It is mainly used for dynamic dv/dt rating and consumer full bridge
applications. Additionally, it falls under the category of ultra-LOW on-resistance devices based
on Advanced Process Technology, making it a building block of the electronic applications
where fast switching is a major concern. In this post, I’ll cover each and everything related
to this transistor, its main features, working, pinout, and applications. Let’s get down to the
nitty-gritty of this tiny component.
Figure 5: MOSFET-IRF 3205
IRF3205 is an N-Channel HEXFET Power MOSFET that is mainly based on Advanced
Process Technology and used for fast switching purpose. International Rectifier has introduced
this device with the aim to generate extremely low on-resistance per silicon area. This power
MOSFET is known as the voltage controlled device that mainly contains three terminals called:
Drain, Gate, Source. The voltage at Gate Terminal is used to handle the conductivity on other
two terminals. The low thermal resistance and operating temperature around 175°C make this
device an ideal choice for commercial industrial applications, providing power dissipation of
around 50 watts.
This Power MOSFET differs from the normal MOSFET, where former comes with gate
layered with thick oxide and can experience high input voltage while the later comes with thin
gate oxide without the ability to withstand high voltage i.e. applying high voltage will drasti-
cally affect the overall performance of the device. It features benchmark high package current

ratings – appropriate for high power DC motors, power tools, and industrial applications. The
gate, source and drain in this MOSFET are analogous to the base, collector, and emitter in the
BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistors) The source and drain are made up of n-type material while
component body and the substrate is made up of p-type material. Adding silicon dioxide on the
substrate layer gives this device a metal oxide semiconductor construction.
Figure 6: MOSFET-IRF 3205 Internal image
It is a unipolar device where conduction is carried out by the movement of electrons.
An insulating layer is inserted in the device that makes gate terminals separated from the entire
body. The region between drain and source is called N-channel that is controlled by the voltage
present at the gate terminal. MOSFET stays ahead of the curve when they are compared to
BJT as the former needs no input current to control a large amount of current on remaining two
terminals. Applying a positive voltage at this MOS structure will change the charge distribution
in the semiconductor where holes present under the oxide layer deal with the force, allowing
the holes to move downward. It is important to note that, the bound negative charges are con-
nected with acceptors atoms that are mainly responsible for flocking the depletion region. The
electrons, if applied with abundance, will help in increasing the overall channel conductivity,
changing the substrate into the N-type material.
IRF 3205 PROTEUS-8 STIMULATION IMAGES:
As I have told you earlier, IRF3205 is an N-channel Mosfet used for fast switching, that’s
why it’s an ideal selection for designing H-Bridge. We have designed this Proteus Simula-
tion where I have converted DC voltage into AC and if you look at it closely then I have used

4.1.4 RESISTOR& CAPACITOR:
• Resistor:
A resistor is a two-terminal electronic component designed to oppose an electric cur-
rent by producing a voltage drop between its terminals in proportion to the current, that is,
in accordance with Ohm’s law: V = IR. Resistors are used as part of electrical networks and
electronic circuits. They are extremely commonplace in most electronic equipment. Practical
resistors can be made of various compounds and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made
of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel/chrome). The primary characteristics of resistors are
their resistance and the power they can dissipate. Other characteristics include temperature co-
efficient, noise, and inductance. Less well-known is critical resistance, the value below which
power dissipation limits the maximum permitted current flow, and above which the limit is ap-
plied voltage. Critical resistance depends upon the materials constituting the resistor as well as
its physical dimensions; it’s determined by design.

26. TOOL SPECIFICATION
Figure 8: Resistor
• Capacitor:
A capacitor or condenser is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of con-
ductors separated by a dielectric. When a voltage potential difference exists between the con-
ductors, an electric field is present in the dielectric. This field stores energy and produces a
mechanical force between the plates. The effect is greatest between wide, flat, parallel, nar-
rowly separated conductors. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value,
capacitance, which is measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each con-
ductor to the potential difference between them. In practice, the dielectric between the plates
passes a small amount of leakage current. The conductors and leads introduce an equivalent
series resistance and the dielectric has an electric field strength limit resulting in a breakdown
voltage.
The properties of capacitors in a circuit may determine the resonant frequency and qual-
ity factor of a resonant circuit, power dissipation and operating frequency in a digital logic
circuit, energy capacity in a high-power system, and many other important aspects. A capacitor
(formerly known as condenser) is a device for storing electric charge. The forms of practical
capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two conductors separated by a non-conductor.
Capacitors used as parts of electrical systems, for example, consist of metal foils separated by
a layer of insulating film. Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for blocking direct
current while allowing alternating current to pass, in filter networks, for smoothing the output
of power supplies, in the resonant circuits that tune radios to particular frequencies and for
many other purposes.
A capacitor is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors sep-
arated by a dielectric (insulator). When there is a potential difference (voltage) across the

conductors, a static electric field develops in the dielectric that stores energy and produces a
mechanical force between the conductors. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single con-
stant value, capacitance, measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each
conductor to the potential difference between them. The capacitance is greatest when there
is a narrow separation between large areas of conductor, hence capacitor conductors are often
called ”plates”, referring to an early means of construction. In practice the dielectric between
the plates passes a small amount of leakage current and also has an electric field strength limit,
resulting in a breakdown voltage, while the conductors and leads introduce an undesired induc-
tance and resistance.
4.1.5 7 SEGMENT DISPLAY:
An LED or Light Emitting Diode, is a solid state optical pn-junction diode which emits
light energy in the form of photons. The emission of these photons occurs when the diode
junction is forward biased by an external voltage allowing current to flow across its junction,
and in Electronics we call this process electroluminescence. The actual color of the visible light
emitted by an LED, ranging from blue to red to orange, is decided by the spectral wavelength
of the emitted light which itself is dependent upon the mixture of the various impurities added
to the semiconductor materials used to produce it.
Light emitting diodes have many advantages over traditional bulbs and lamps, with the
main ones being their small size, long life, various colors, cheapness and are readily available,
as well as being easy to interface with various other electronic components and digital circuits.
But the main advantage of light emitting diodes is that because of their small die size, several
of them can be connected together within one small and compact package producing what is
generally called a 7-segment Display. The 7-segment display, also written as “seven segment
17
28. TOOL SPECIFICATION
Figure 10: 7 Segment Display
display”, consists of seven LEDs (hence its name) arranged in a rectangular fashion as shown.
Each of the seven LEDs is called a segment because when illuminated the segment forms part
of a numerical digit (both Decimal and Hex) to be displayed. An additional 8th LED is some-
times used within the same package thus allowing the indication of a decimal point, (DP) when
two or more 7-segment displays are connected together to display numbers greater than ten.
Each one of the seven LEDs in the display is given a positional segment with one of its
connection pins being brought straight out of the rectangular plastic package. These individ-
ually LED pins are labelled from a through to g representing each individual LED. The other
LED pins are connected together and wired to form a common pin. So by forward biasing the
appropriate pins of the LED segments in a particular order, some segments will be light and
others will be dark allowing the desired character pattern of the number to be generated on the
display. This then allows us to display each of the ten decimal digits 0 through to 9 on the
same 7-segment display. The displays common pin is generally used to identify which type of
7-segment display it is. As each LED has two connecting pins, one called the “Anode” and
the other called the “Cathode”, there are therefore two types of LED 7-segment display called:
Common Cathode (CC) and Common Anode (CA).

4.1.6 5V LED LIGHT SOURCE:
Luminus LEDs benefit from a suite of innovations in the fields of chip technology, packag-
ing and thermal management. These breakthroughs allow illumination engineers and designers
to achieve solutions that are high brightness and high efficiency. minus’ technology enables
large area LED chips with uniform brightness over the entire LED chip surface. The optical
power and brightness produced by these large monolithic chips enable solutions which replace
arc and halogen lamps where arrays of traditional high power LEDs cannot. Thermal manage-
ment is critical in high power LED applications. With a thermal resistance from junction to
board of 0.25º C/W, Luminus CBT-140 LEDs have the lowest thermal resistance of any LED
on the market. This allows the LED to be driven at higher current densities while maintaining a
low junction temperature, thereby resulting in brighter solutions and longer lifetimes. Designed
from the ground up, Luminus LEDs are one of the most reliable light sources in the world today.

cluding mechanical shock, vibration, temperature cycling and humidity, and have been fully
qualified for use in extreme high power and high current applications. With very low failure
rates and median lifetimes that typically exceed 60,000 hours, Luminus LEDs are ready for
even the most demanding applications. Luminus LEDs help reduce power consumption and
the amount of hazardous waste entering the environment. All LED products manufactured by
Luminus are RoHS compliant and free of hazardous materials, including lead and mercury.
4.1.7 BUS CONNECTOR:
A bus is a subsystem that is used to connect computer components and transfer data between
them. For example, an internal bus connects computer internals to the motherboard. A bus may
be parallel or serial. Parallel buses transmit data across multiple wires. Serial buses transmit
data in bit-serial format. A bus was originally an electrical parallel structure with conductors
connected with identical or similar CPU pins, such as a 32-bit bus with 32 wires and 32 pins.
The earliest buses, often termed electrical power buses or bus bars, were wire collections that
connected peripheral devices and memory, with one bus designated for peripheral devices and
another bus for memory. Each bus included separate instructions and distinct protocols and
timing. Parallel bus standards include advanced technology attachment (ATA) or small com-
puter system interface (SCSI) for printer or hard drive devices. Serial bus standards include
universal serial bus (USB), FireWire or serial ATA with a daisy-chain topology or hub design
for devices, keyboards or modem devices.
Computer systems generally consist of three main parts: the central processing unit
(CPU) that processes data, memory that holds the programs and data to be processed, and I/O
(input/output) devices as peripherals that communicate with the outside world. An early com-
puter might contain a hand-wired CPU of vacuum tubes, a magnetic drum for main memory,
and a punch tape and printer for reading and writing data respectively. A modern system might
have a multi-core CPU, DDR4 SDRAM for memory, a solid-state drive for secondary storage,
a graphics card and LCD as a display system, a mouse and keyboard for interaction, and a Wi-
Fi connection for networking. In both examples, computer buses of one form or another move
data between all of these devices. In most traditional computer architectures, the CPU and main
memory tend to be tightly coupled. A microprocessor conventionally is a single chip which has
a number of electrical connections on its pins that can be used to select an ”address” in the
main memory and another set of pins to read and write the data stored at that location. In most
cases, the CPU and memory share signalling characteristics and operate in synchrony. The bus
connecting the CPU and memory is one of the defining characteristics of the system, and often
21
32. TOOL SPECIFICATION
referred to simply as the system bus. It is possible to allow peripherals to communicate with
memory in the same fashion, attaching adaptors in the form of expansion cards directly to the
system bus. This is commonly accomplished through some sort of standardized electrical con-
nector, several of these forming the expansion bus or local bus. However, as the performance
differences between the CPU and peripherals varies widely, some solution is generally needed
to ensure that peripherals do not slow overall system performance. Many CPUs feature a sec-
ond set of pins similar to those for communicating with memory, but able to operate at very
different speeds and using different protocols. Others use smart controllers to place the data
directly in memory, a concept known as direct memory access. Most modern systems combine
both solutions, where appropriate.
Figure 14: Bus Connector:
As the number of potential peripherals grew, using an expansion card for every periph-
eral became increasingly untenable. This has led to the introduction of bus systems designed
specifically to support multiple peripherals. Common examples are the SATA ports in modern
computers, which allow a number of hard drives to be connected without the need for a card.
However, these high-performance systems are generally too expensive to implement in low-end
devices, like a mouse. This has led to the parallel development of a number of low-performance
bus systems for these solutions, the most common example being the standardized Universal
Serial Bus (USB). All such examples may be referred to as peripheral buses, although this
terminology is not universal.In modern systems the performance difference between the CPU
and main memory has grown so great that increasing amounts of high-speed memory is built
directly into the CPU, known as a cache. In such systems, CPUs communicate using high-
performance buses that operate at speeds much greater than memory, and communicate with
22
33. TOOL SPECIFICATION
memory using protocols similar to those used solely for peripherals in the past.
These system buses are also used to communicate with most (or all) other peripherals,
through adaptors, which in turn talk to other peripherals and controllers. Such systems are ar-
chitecturally more similar to multicomputers, communicating over a bus rather than a network.
In these cases, expansion buses are entirely separate and no longer share any architecture with
their host CPU (and may in fact support many different CPUs, as is the case with PCI). What
would have formerly been a system bus is now often known as a front-side bus. Given these
changes, the classical terms ”system”, ”expansion” and ”peripheral” no longer have the same
connotations. Other common categorization systems are based on the bus’s primary role, con-
necting devices internally or externally, PCI vs. SCSI for instance. However, many common
modern bus systems can be used for both; SATA and the associated eSATA are one example of a
system that would formerly be described as internal, while certain automotive applications use
the primarily external IEEE 1394 in a fashion more similar to a system bus. Other examples,
like InfiniBand and I²C were designed from the start to be used both internally and externally.
4.1.8 5V SWITCHED MODE POWER SUPPLY:
Switch mode power supplies (SMPSs) are used in a range of applications as an efficient and
effective source of power. This is in major part of their efficiency. For anybody still working on
a desktop, look for the fan output in the central processing units (CPU). That’s where the SMPS
is. SMPS offers advantages in terms of size, weight, cost, efficiency and overall performance.
These have become an accepted part of electronic gadgets. Basically, it is a device in which
energy conversion and regulation is provided by power semiconductors that are continuously
switching “on” and “off” with high frequency.
The different kinds
• DC to DC Converter
• Forward Converter
• Fly back Converter
• Self-Oscillating Fly back Converter
The primary power received from AC main is rectified and filtered as high voltage DC. It is
then switched at a huge rate of speed and fed to the primary side of the step-down transformer.
The step-down transformer is only a fraction of the size of a comparable 50 Hz unit thus reliev-
ing the size and weight problems. We have the filtered and rectified output at the secondary side
23
34. TOOL SPECIFICATION
of the transformer. It is now sent to the output of the power supply. A sample of this output is
sent back to the switch to control the output voltage. In a forward converter, the choke carries
the current when the transistor is conducting as well as when it’s not. The diode carries the
current during the OFF period of the transistor. Therefore, energy flows into the load during
both the periods. The choke stores energy during the ON period and also passes some energy
into the output load.
Figure 15: 5V Switched Mode Power Supply:
In a fly back converter, the magnetic field of the inductor stores energy during the ON pe-
riod of the switch. The energy is emptied into the output voltage circuit when the switch is
in the open state.The duty cycle determines the output voltage. This is the simplest and basic
converter based on the fly back principle. During the conduction time of the switching transis-
tor, the current through the transformer primary starts ramping up linearly with the slope equal
to Vin/Lp.The voltage induced in the secondary winding and the feedback winding make the
fast recovery rectifier reverse biased and hold the conducting transistor ON. When the primary
current reaches a peak value Ip, where the core begins to saturate, the current tends to rise very
sharply. This sharp rise in current cannot be supported by the fixed base drive provided by
the feedback winding. As a result, the switching begins to come out of saturation.A switching
regulator does the regulation in the SMPS. A series switching element turns the current supply
to a smoothing capacitor on and off. The voltage on the capacitor controls the time the series
element is turned. The continuous switching of the capacitor maintains the voltage at the re-
quired level.

5 SYSYEM ARCHITECTURE AND METHODOLOGY
5.1 System Architecture
There are nine leading aggregations in our project. The primary aggregation is the power
supply block. This aggregation is the source of energy. Next aggregation is for Arduino Uno
which is interface with 7 segment display and generate PWM. Next aggregation is Bluetooth
module and Touch screen display. The final aggregation is the drive circuit, led module and
current sensor which is used to control light intensity. We provide new technology. We are
using changeable adapters which can be used for multiple surgeries like ocular, optho surgeries
etc. So, by changeable adapters surgeons can be benefited with using single equipment for
multiple surgeries. It is connecting to the heat sink which produces some heat while the kit
is working, so to reduce the heat we are placing cooling fans to exhaust the heat from the
equipment. We are using LED which is nothing but luminous LED that produces high lux,
due to that the surgeons can find minute particles during the surgeries. We are replacing the
probe button mechanism with visual display (Touch Screen) that can help surgeons to increase
or decrease the percentage of light intensity. We are using Arduino Uno with microcontroller
of AT Mega 328p IC which is interfacing with 7 segment LCD screen or panel. Two SMPS are
5v 25Amp & 5v 2Amp one is connecting to luminous LED and other is connect to Arduino
respectively. The cooling fans are used to exhaust the heat.

be used for more than one surgeries like ocular, optho surgeries etc. So, by changeable adapters
surgeons can be benefited with using single tools for multiple surgeries.
The working of the proposed project deals a lot of various topics and cannot be defined
in a single paper. Kindly refer the various mentioned references to get a detailed view. Let us
put forth a bird eye view model of the project model and implementation. The constant power
supply is used for equipment, Two SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) one is 5V 2AMP & 5V
25AMP the first one is connect to the Arduino Uno which Arduino Uno need working voltage
is 5V 2AMP and second one is used for the Luminous LED actually Luminous LED required
4V 2AMP by doing small changes in second SMPS that produce 4V 2AMP.
28
39. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE & METHODOLOGY
By using touch screen display we can increase or decrease light intensity based on that
Arduino Uno which have microcontroller ATMEGA 328P IC generate PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation). If light is increase to 10 percent, then PWM ON 10 percent and OFF 90 percent
similarly if it is increases to 20 percent the it ON 20 percent and OFF 80 percent in simple word
5 Voltage is same in SMPS but current is increase from 0 to 25AMP, so that light intensity will
increase. The changeable adapter is used for multiple surgeries and due to increasing intensity
of LED the heat is generated in heat sink and also voltage fluctuation occurs so that we use RF
filter is used to control and cooling fans are used to exhaust the heat from the equipment’s.

segment display is used to show the percentage of light intensity. The SMPS which have 5V
