A gyroscope is a device that uses angular momentum to detect orientation and maintain stability. It works based on the principle that a torque applied perpendicular to the gyroscope's axis of rotation causes it to precess around an axis perpendicular to both the torque and its angular momentum. Modern gyroscopes use electronics and include microelectromechanical systems, fiber optic gyroscopes, vibrating structure gyroscopes, dynamically tuned gyroscopes, and laser-based gyroscopes.
This document discusses several papers on the topic of topology optimization. It summarizes the abstracts of three papers. The first paper discusses applying topology optimization and manufacturing simulations to aircraft component design. The second paper discusses designing smart composite materials using topology optimization to optimize properties like thermal expansion coefficients. The third paper surveys procedures for dealing with common numerical instabilities in topology optimization like checkerboards and mesh dependencies.
This document discusses topology optimization. It begins by defining topology and optimization separately, then explains that topology optimization is a mathematical approach that optimizes material layout within a design space to meet performance targets while minimizing a given objective like mass or deflection. It provides an example of using topology optimization on a cantilever beam by dividing it into elements, removing less stressed elements through iterations, analyzing the results, and continuing until the objective is met. Finally, it mentions software tools used in the topology optimization process and some applications.
A toolmakers microscope can measure objects up to 1/100th of a millimeter. It works on the principle of a screw gauge but with modifications to make it easier to use. It also incorporates optics, using light and lenses to focus on the object and see a magnified shadow for precise measurements. The toolmakers microscope has a robust base and column with track to move the lens and light source. It uses scales on the glass table and micrometer heads to measure objects in the X, Y, and rotational directions to determine attributes like length and width.
The document discusses the history and evolution of different types of window stoppers. It describes 4 main types: [1] hinged door stoppers, which were the earliest but only allowed the window to open fully; [2] brass hooks, which overcame issues with wood but only allowed a fixed angle; [3] brass screw and socket stoppers, which provided adjustable angles but screws could come loose; [4] multi-lever and track stoppers, which are the most advanced design that overcome all issues but are more expensive.

1. One day trip in Hyderabad (21 ST March, 2012)
After a long gap in going for extracurricular participations I have been to CBIT, Hyderabad. Without this the
semester would have become dull and dim. Because 3-2 had been a semester where my participation in other
activities had diminished when compared to previous sems.
It has all begun because of my friend Siddhartha who was also eager to do something before this semester ends.
He sent an abstract based on his last sem’s mini-project, everything was set except a partner. He googled our
section for a suitable partner (almost equivalent to svayamvar), but actually forgot me. Accidentally, before 3 days
of the event, probably, I got the proposal from him. What would I do other than accepting his invitation.
Frankly writing, I didn’t know anything about the topic to be presented until the day of the presentation. However,
I was confident that I can deliver a promising presentation with little experiences from the past.
Everybody - all my friends, roommates, cousins were surprised by sudden decision to go to Hyderabad. And one
more dramatic incident took place with Praju (my roommate). He wasn’t in the picture till the last hour of start up.
In between conversation I asked him to come and he took his decision by tossing a coin… he was in.
And an important factor I have to mention is money. Because of certain consequences I had only 90 rs in my wallet
and nothing else even in my bank account. I wondered how I would enjoy the trip. Sorry not enjoying whether I
would be able to go or not…
Then on 20th March by 10:30 me, Praju, Praneeth, and Vamsi gathered, set the start up moorath as 11:00 pm. We
had bus at 11:30, given the time traffic won’t be a problem, therefore half an hour is more than enough. Reaching
the PNBS we bought the ticket for Praju, got onto the bus and just as the bus started we fell asleep. Point to be
noted tickets by Siddu 470.
My night had been so fine that I opened my eyes to Hyderabad in the morning. The bus arrived at MGBS by 6:30
am. From there we took bus to Mehdipatnam and from there to CBIT (Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology)
boy’s hostel.
Rakesh joined us somewhere in before reaching the hostel. He had almost killed the organizers with his questions
that their first question was “who is Rakesh?” The organizers committee framed strange rules and that provided a
tool to Rakesh. My initial plan was to stay there for the next two days i.e. till the end of the fest and celebrating
Ugadi at Hyderabad with my cousins. So I registered for accommodation taking money from Praju 200. They
provided us rooms from the hostel that weren’t used for the last 1 year. Cleaned the room to an extent that would
be enough for us for next couple of hours. Then for the first time I have gone through what we are going to
present. Mean while everybody took bath and by the time of my turn water tank had run out of water..!! I had
to take a half bath, cleansing my hands legs and face, declared I am finished with bath.
All together, we reached the college campus by 10:00 am, got ourselves registered for Samardhan (paper
presentation) then me and siddu attended a lecture by The Director of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
2. Resources. At one point in his lecture I was actually frightened at fate of coming generations. I liked his way of
lecturing as he connected the present day International Environment Deals to Vedas.
After the lecture session, it’s time for right purpose of our going to Hyderabad… Samardhan, the paper
presentation. “Infringement of convectional designing through lisp programming and rapid prototyping” was the
title of our paper. Title seems to be complex but quit simple. Most of the people don’t even know the meaning of
infringement, an added advantage. That’s actually creativity of Sidhu.
We went onto the dais by our turn, slides were all prepared, pen drive is ready, and everything is fine. Sidhu
started the presentation. 8 min was the given time, as per the rules. We planned to share the time but sidhu took
6 min out of 8 min. I had only 2 min! So I had to make it fast to completely deliver what we planned. As usual I
started and keeping time in view I stepped on speed. I don’t know whether he understood anything or not,
somehow completed my part in two min. Opphh! My first ppt outside my college is done. So easy it was than
expected.
Out from the presentation hall I was happy and one more task added to us, “What should we do now?” Just then
we came across ‘cad-io-logist’ a CADD competition, went in and participated. Problem statement is simple. Model
the component using any modeling package within the given time. I got a coupling which I modeled earlier. I
happily started, with little tension whether I would complete or not, but completed it in time with no other
competition. First place in both the events, easily! Actually CBIT has got lower standards when compared to KLU…
at least my feeling.
Nothing else to be done. So thought to leave CBIT after giving it a thought for about half an hour. Little
disappointed for leaving without any fun and extravaganza. However there is still time for bus to leave for
Vijayawada.
It took one and half hour to reach some place to go to necklace road. Kept walking through the streets and roads
looking at the places around and accidentally reached Prasad’s IMAX. The bright time of the day had started then.
Me, Praneeth, Siddhu, Vamsi and Praju had good time, photography and fun. We had dinner in McDonalds and
moved into IMAX again, roamed here and there. Those hours at IMAX are one of the most memorable hours.
And then back to Vijayawada, end of an unexpected one day expedition to Hyderabad, adding a page to my
memories and word docs… bye.
