Battery Powered and Hybrid Drive Opportunities in Heavy Duty, Large Capacity,...Newton Montano
Battery Powered and Hybrid Drive Opportunities in Heavy Duty, Large Capacity, People Mover Applications.
Electric and hybrid passenger vehicles are no longer a vision or a trend. Their increasing numbers in our roads today signify a change in the mobility space. Yet, commercial heavy-duty and off-road vehicles have the potential to exceed passenger vehicles adoption rates. The main reason is that commercial heavy-duty and off-road vehicles, in most cases, have a more predictable driving routes and duty cycles. Heavy Duty, Large Capacity, People Mover such of those designed and manufactured by Southern California based Trams International, benefit from extensive vehicle design experience proven by actual vehicle performance and constant heavy-duty usage. Trams International’s methodical application analysis is especially critical when implementing advanced vehicle electrification technologies. By defining, measuring and analyzing the vehicle application, Trams International establishes realistic vehicle performance which in turn also defines viable fleet financial models.

Optimization of computer vision algorithms in codesign methodologiesMarcos Nieto
Embedding computer vision SW for in-vehicle applications requires the optimization of algorithms to fit into low cost and low consumption HW. Such optimization is a task substantially centered in improving the efficiency of the implementations, typically focused on the migration of algorithms to massive parallelization HW. The development cost associated with these actions can be prohibitive depending on the nature of the algorithms, which may be highly non-linear processes, iterative and recursive, partially sequential and often not fully parallelizable. As an alternative, co-design methodologies has shown to be a
successful and feasible approach, which consists on coordinated work of the SW and HW development teams, with iterative evaluations of prototype SW implementations in reconfigurable HW platforms that allow detecting memory or processing bottlenecks. The analysis then guide the next iteration which may also consists on redesigning the algorithm and not only on implementation issues. In this paper we describe this general process applied to computer vision methods optimization. As a case study we present the improvements we have achieved designing a single camera vehicle detection system using the mentioned methodology to migrate it into an embedded platform (Xilinx Zynq 7000).
Mission and operations planning (M&OP) is based on the commercial supply chain S&OP process and modified for use in planning and managing disaster response and humanitarian supply chains.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

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.

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.
