In this paper, a design of pattern reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna and its simulation using CSTMW simulator is presented. The designed antenna is also fabricated and tested. The design consists of microstrip patch printed on FR-4 substrate with a coaxial line feeding on the back of the antenna which is the active element. Two on-chip parasitic elements (OCPE) also are printed on FR-4 substrate, each of which connected through a via hole to the ground. The proposed design has the advantage of movable parasitic chip elements with the same motherboard to control the reconfigurable pattern direction as well as operating frequency. It is also have the advantages of parasitic elements rotation to fit reception/transmission required steering angle. The results obtained show that the steering angle of the main beam in the H-plane depends upon the dimension of the parasitic element substrate as well as the type of the patch antenna. The presented antenna is suitable for different application, including Wifi and WiMax systems.

A cellular base station antenna configuration for variable coverageIJECEIAES
The field coverage offered by the base station antenna in GSM systems influences the reception and interference performances. The coverage can be varied by scanning the mainbeam direction or varying the shape of the radiation pattern. In cellular system applications, a simple technique is desirable to achieve this goal. A simple technique to vary the coverage of cellular base station is investigated. The technique uses two conventional antennas tilted by a certain angle and fed by the same signal but at variable amplitudes. It is demonstrated that the field across one half of the covered sector can be gradually increased while that at the other half is reduced by varying the excitations of the two antenna elements. This can be deployed in a simple electronic means in response to the changing scenario rather readjusting the direction of the base station antenna.

Control Radiation Pattern for Half Width Microstrip Leaky Wave Antenna by Usi...IJECEIAES
In this paper, a novel design for single-layer half width microstrip leakywave antenna (HW-MLWA) is demonstrated. This model can be digitally control its radiation pattern at operation frequency and uses only two values of the bias voltage, with better impedance matching and insignificant gain variation. The scanning and controlling the radiation pattern of leaky-wave antennas (LWA) in steps at an operation frequency, by using switches PIN diodes, is investigated and a novel HW-MLWA is introduced. A control cell reconfigurable, that can be switched between two states, is the basic element of the antenna. The periodic LWA is molded by identical control cells where as a control radiation pattern is developed by combining numerous reconfigurable control cells. A gap capacitor is independently connected or disconnected in every unit cell by using a PIN diode switch to achieve fixedfrequency control radiation pattern scanning. The profile reactance at the free edge of (HWMLWA) and thus the main lobe direction is altered by changing the states of the control cell. The antenna presented in this paper, can scan main beam between 18o to 44o at fixed frequency of 4.2 GHz with measured peak gain of 12.29 dBi.

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!

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

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.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract:
In this paper, a design of pattern reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna and its simulation using CST-
MW simulator is presented. The designed antenna is also fabricated and tested. The design consists of
microstrip patch printed on FR-4 substrate with a coaxial line feeding on the back of the antenna which is
the active element. Two on-chip parasitic elements (OCPE) also are printed on FR-4 substrate, each of
which connected through a via hole to the ground. The proposed design has the advantage of movable
parasitic chip elements with the same motherboard to control the reconfigurable pattern direction as well
as operating frequency. It is also have the advantages of parasitic elements rotation to fit
reception/transmission required steering angle. The results obtained show that the steering angle of the
main beam in the H-plane depends upon the dimension of the parasitic element substrate as well as the
type of the patch antenna. The presented antenna is suitable for different application, including Wifi and
WiMax systems.

1. Introduction
Over the past ten years, many antennas have been proven to be a very effective and sensitive part
a communication system. Interference, energy waste, noisy environment and shadowing are the
most serious problems that result in performance degradation of wireless communication systems.
The solution to these problems is to direct the pattern to a desired user. This can be carried out
using pattern reconfiguration (steering pattern) antenna techniques. This can effectively save
energy and also overcome reception of unwanted signals. Antenna reconfiguration is classified
into three categories, namely frequency, pattern and polarization reconfiguration. The first type is
based upon controlling the frequency of radiating element within a specific margin without
changing other radiating characteristics. One method or realizing frequency reconfiguration is by
using Micro Electro Mechanical System Switch MEMS switches to switch between three types of
antennas combined in one body to select different frequency bands (0.824–0.894 GHz, 1.75–2.48
GHz, 3.3–3.6 GHz) [1].Another approach is based upon using planar inverted F-antenna and a

The two parasitic elements which have the dimensionW1= 0.9W mm, L1= 0.97 L mm are set on
a substrate FR-4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm and copper pins used as switches. The pins
exist in the parasitic elements located on the lower left hand corner of the left element or on the
lower right hand corner of the right element. These switches have three modes, namely director-
reflector (DR) mode, reflector- director (RD) mode and reflector- reflector (RR) mode. The DR
mode exists when pin in right element is shorted (the right element is reflector, left element is
director). The RD mode exists when pin in left element is shorted (the right element is director,
left element is reflector), The RR mode exists when pins in left, right element are shorted (the
right, left elements are reflectors). Coupling between active and parasitic elements, controls the
radiation pattern. The physical dimensions of the proposed antenna are given in Table 1. It is
worth noting that the dimension selected are the same as those of the antenna given in [5] in order
to make it easier to comparison.

3. Results Discussion and experimental verification
The proposed microstrip antenna has been simulated using CST software package when different
types of substrate have been used. Table 2 gives a summary of the results if using different
substrate with different values of relative permittivity (εr) at the same height as the motherboard
which is 1.6mm. The optimum physical dimension of this antenna is shown in the first row,
which gives the better efficiency and doesn’t shift the resonance frequency because of using the
same material substrate as the mother board. This results in reducing the losses that may occur
when using different material substrates.

BW in MHz
As could be noticed from Table 2, the tilt angle of the far field pattern is highly affected by the
material relative permittivity and it is little bit shifted when using material with small relative
permittivity while it is largely changed when using high ones. Side lobe levels also increase as the
material relative permittivity increases. This is because of high losses in case of high relative
permittivity materials. The reflection coefficient curves for dielectric materials with different
relative permittivity are shown in Figure 2, It is observed from Figure 2 and table 2 that
increasing value of the parasitic relative permittivity, increases main lobe tilt angle and decreases
bandwidth and gain. It is clear that as the dielectric permittivity increases the return loss increases
hence very small amount of power is forward to radiating element and hence radiating
characteristics can be degraded. The best result occurs when we choose parasitic elements
substrate to be of the same material as that of mother board (Fr4=4.3). This reduces the dielectric
losses that may occur when choosing different materials with different relative permittivity. It is
also noticed from the curve that, as the value of parasitic element material relative permittivity
exceeds that of the relative permittivity of mother board, the resonance frequency shifted by 100
MHz.

It is clear from this table that the tilt angle is affected by the rotation of the parasitic elements. But
the parameters are in general not much affected.
Figure 9: rotation angle versus pattern tilt angle
Figure 9 shows the relation between parasitic element orientation and the beam tilt angle. It is
clear that the relation is non-continuous. This means that an optimization process should be
adopted to select the suitable rotation angle to give the required beam tilt angle.
Table 5: comparison between pervious and proposed work
Table 5 gives a comparison between the simulated results of the patch with rotated parasitic
elements (γ=10°), and the patch with non-rotated parasitic elements (γ=0°) and the patch in ref
[5]. It is clear that the highest tilt angles are obtained with the rotated patches. The result is also

environmental changes. The compact size of the antenna and its characteristics makes it
appropriate for WiMax and Wifi application.
