The presentation "Extremely low-cost lower limb prostheses" focuses on innovative solutions to address the global need for affordable prosthetic devices, especially in low- and middle-income countries. It highlights the intersection of biomedical robotics with prosthetic design, underscoring the need for cost-effective technologies that can improve the quality of life for amputees.
The document analyzes the problem from a statistical perspective, reviewing literature to understand the extent of the issue, and proposes several solutions. It discusses the significance of low-cost prostheses, detailing methods like 3D printing, use of recycled materials, simplified designs, and mass production techniques to reduce costs. The presentation also examines the average annual incomes of populations in Sierra Leone, Bangladesh, and India to contextualize the affordability of prosthetics.
The work showcases various research papers, each presenting a unique approach to designing low-cost prosthetic limbs, from fully mechanical designs to advanced 3D printed, multi-axis feet. It touches upon the pros and cons of these designs, considering factors like manufacturing costs, weight, load capacity, and the need for expert personnel.
The insights provided aim to contribute to the development of prosthetic limbs that are accessible to all, especially focusing on the challenges faced by individuals in regions with limited resources.
A prosthetic is a device that replaces any missing human body part visibly and functionally. Reverse engineering is a field of engineering wherein a model and further a prototype can be generated by extracting information from previous design or available model using the advanced tools of CAD/CAM. This paper aims at exploring the needs and advantages of connecting the prosthetic industry with reverse engineering in a developing country like India for patients with lower limb amputations under the brimming concept of “Make in India”.

Spoofing attack on PMU (Phasor measurement unit)Mohammad Sabouri
A phasor measurement unit (PMU) is a device used to estimate the magnitude and phase angle of an electrical phasor quantity (such as voltage or current) in the electricity grid using a common time source for synchronization. Time synchronization is usually provided by GPS and allows synchronized real-time measurements of multiple remote points on the grid. PMUs are capable of capturing samples from a waveform in quick succession and reconstructing the phasor quantity, made up of an angle measurement and a magnitude measurement. The resulting measurement is known as a synchrophasor. These time synchronized measurements are important because if the grid’s supply and demand are not perfectly matched, frequency imbalances can cause stress on the grid, which is a potential cause for power outages.

COLLEGE BUS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT REPORT.pdfKamal Acharya
The College Bus Management system is completely developed by Visual Basic .NET Version. The application is connect with most secured database language MS SQL Server. The application is develop by using best combination of front-end and back-end languages. The application is totally design like flat user interface. This flat user interface is more attractive user interface in 2017. The application is gives more important to the system functionality. The application is to manage the student’s details, driver’s details, bus details, bus route details, bus fees details and more. The application has only one unit for admin. The admin can manage the entire application. The admin can login into the application by using username and password of the admin. The application is develop for big and small colleges. It is more user friendly for non-computer person. Even they can easily learn how to manage the application within hours. The application is more secure by the admin. The system will give an effective output for the VB.Net and SQL Server given as input to the system. The compiled java program given as input to the system, after scanning the program will generate different reports. The application generates the report for users. The admin can view and download the report of the data. The application deliver the excel format reports. Because, excel formatted reports is very easy to understand the income and expense of the college bus. This application is mainly develop for windows operating system users. In 2017, 73% of people enterprises are using windows operating system. So the application will easily install for all the windows operating system users. The application-developed size is very low. The application consumes very low space in disk. Therefore, the user can allocate very minimum local disk space for this application.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Editor's Notes
The World Health Organization estimates that 30 million people worldwide are in need of prosthetic and orthotic devices. However, access to prosthetic care is limited, especially in developing countries where more than 75% do not have a prosthetics and orthotics training program, which affects the quality of clinical coverage for patients.

While the paper provides details on the design, material selection, and manufacturing process, it doesn't explicitly outline a problem-solving framework or specific challenges that needed resolution. Instead, the content focuses on the evolution of gait analysis, the design considerations for a 3D-printed prosthetic foot, and the application of 3D printing technology in the manufacturing process.
