Design parameters of driver seat in an automobileeSAT Journals
Abstract Driver seat is an important system of any automobile, it is also complicated system consists of so many parts, adjustments as well as safety systems. A seat adjustment includes height adjustment, fore and aft adjustment, back recline adjustments. Safety systems include seat belts, air bags and advanced head restraints. Generally professional driver works more than eight hours per day of a week, therefore driver seat must be designed by considering all the parameters. Also uneven road condition induces the vibration in a vehicle transmitted to driver body. Poorly designed driver seat affects the driver health and psychological conditions of mind. Three main objectives of any driver seats are safety, health and comfort of driver. This paper presents all the parameters of driver seat such as anthropometry of human, ergonomics related parameters, seat materials, safety related parameters, comfort related parameters as well as weight and aesthetics with classifications and basics of driver seat. Keywords: Driver Seat, Comfort, Safety, Health, Adjustments.

1. Definition of Control System
A control system is a system of devices or set of devices, that manages commands, directs or regulates the behaviour of other device(s) or system(s) to achieve desire results. In other words the definition of control system can be rewritten as a control system is a system, which controls other system. As the human civilization is being modernized day by day the demand of automation is increasing accordingly. Automation highly requires control of devices.
In recent years, control systems plays main role in the development and advancement of modern technology and civilization. Practically every aspects of our day-to-day life is affected less or more by some control system. A bathroom toilet tank, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a geezer, an automatic iron, an automobile all are control system. These systems are also used in industrial process for more output. We find control system in quality control of products, weapons system, transportation systems, power system, space technology, robotics and many more. The principle of control theory is applicable to engineering and non engineering field both.
1.1 Feature of Control System
The main feature of control system is, there should be a clear mathematical relation between input and output of the system.
1.2 Requirement of Good Control System
Accuracy: Accuracy is the measurement tolerance of the instrument and defines the limits of the errors made when the instrument is used in normal operating conditions. Accuracy can be improved by using feedback elements. To increase accuracy of any control system error detector should be present in control system.
Sensitivity: The parameters of control system are always changing with change in surrounding conditions, internal disturbance or any other parameters. This change can be expressed in terms of sensitivity. Any control system should be insensitive to such parameters but sensitive to input signals only.
Noise: An undesired input signal is known as noise. A good control system should be able to reduce the noise effect for better performance.
Stability: It is an important characteristic of control system. For the bounded input signal, the output must be bounded and if input is zero then output must be zero then such a control system is said to be stable system.
Bandwidth: An operating frequency range decides the bandwidth of control system. Bandwidth should be large as possible for frequency response of good control system.
Speed: It is the time taken by control system to achieve its stable output. A good control system possesses high speed. The transient period for such system is very small.
Oscillation: A small numbers of oscillation or constant oscillation of output tend to system to be stable.
2. Types of Control Systems
There are two main types of control system. They are as follows
1. Open Loop Control System
2. Closed loop control system
For my Senior Design class, we built a formula style car and competed against 40 other schools from across the country. This presentation was for the design event where we had to "sell"our design to a group of mock investors describing our design\'s benefits.
Our presentation attributes complete info regarding the three types of Drive by wire system i.e. Brake by wire, Electronic throttle control and Steer by wire system. Let’s find out how these 3 system works and what are the feasibilities & loopholes of Drive by wire system?

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

6. It’s not your ordinary hybrid midsize sedan. The 2012 Optima
Hybrid delivers class-leading9 horsepower of 206 total (electric motor and gas
engine) and highway fuel efficiency of 40 mpg.3 All thanks to the electric motor, a
lighter and more powerful lithium polymer battery, regenerative braking, reduced
engine friction, electric-powered air conditioning and aerodynamic styling.

7. ELECTRIC MOTOR DESIGNED FOR
EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE
At low speed, the Optima Hybrid uses
an innovative Transmission Mounted
Electrical Device to run in EV (electriconly) mode. It consists of an electric
motor and a clutch mounted in place of
the conventional transmission’s torque
converter. Additionally, active air flaps
behind the grille control air flow to
cool or warm the engine as needed to
increase efficiency.
SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM EV TO
HYBRID OPERATION
When you bring the Optima Hybrid to
a complete stop, the gas engine shuts
off. When you press the accelerator to
resume driving, the Hybrid StarterGenerator (HSG) automatically restarts
the engine and provides a fast, seamless
transition from electric motor to hybrid
operation. The HSG also functions as a
generator to charge the battery.10
REGENERATIVE BRAKING
To help charge the lithium polymer
battery, a Regenerative Braking System
uses the electric motor to convert kinetic
energy from braking to electricity.
VIRTUAL ENGINE SOUND SYSTEM
At low speed, when the Optima Hybrid
is powered only by the electric motor,
the virtual engine sound system plays an
audible sound to indicate to pedestrians
that the vehicle is approaching.
8. The Optima Hybrid provides comfort, convenience and
technologically advanced features like dual-zone automatic temperature
control with rear vents and push-button start with Smart Key. Available
features include a voice-command navigation system, air-cooled front seats
and heated front and rear seats. Look a little closer and you’ll see that underneath the common features of the Optima is a high-tech Hybrid system.

stay in touch and be kept informed. Getting to enjoy this, however, used to be complicated,
especially while driving. UVO,* short for “your voice,” is an in-vehicle infotainment system
available on select models. Kia and Microsoft17 have teamed up to provide this voiceactivated system. Developed on Windows®17 Embedded Automotive platform, it lets you
manage your music conveniently and enjoy hands-free use of your phone.16 UVO has an
intuitive touch screen and Microsoft advanced voice-activation technology that actually
recognizes your own speech pattern and voice inflection.
COLOR TOUCH SCREEN
UVO’s vivid 4.3‑inch color LCD
touch screen delivers direct
access to radio stations, music
on your MP3 player or USB
media drive, your phonebook
from a compatible cell phone16
and vehicle information.
ADVANCED VOICE CONTROL
Microsoft speech technology
can learn multiple users’
speaking patterns, and it
responds quickly to long
phrases. Even with Optima’s
multiple music-source
options, finding a song is
as easy as saying its title.
EASY FEATURE UPDATES
With its flexible Windows®
Embedded Automotive platform, the UVO system allows
you to update its features
and services conveniently.
