Presentation on Remanufacturing of Engine Block of a locomotive at DMW, PatialaArjun Gaur
The presentation is related to my Internship at D.M.W, Patiala, one of the primate manufacturers for Indian Railways. The project assigned to me was to study the rehabilitation and remanufacturing of the Engine Block of a locomotive. Although there might be some minute loop holes in the presentation as it has been 2 years since I left that very place, but more or less everything is same. In fact, it was during my training that the Ministry of Railways decided to manufacture and roll out Multi- Genset loco called WDM 2G. So for any basic queries regarding the presentation feel free to contact.

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.

•In the alignment test, a steel rod called the MANDREL is made to pass through
the lubricated crank (fitted with the main bearing caps) and cam bores.
•It is made to enter through one end and removed from the other end.
•A thin sheet is passed through it giving a suitable clearance.
•In case of unsatisfactory results, machining is done on the required portion
46. M.B cap machining
The main bearing caps are replaced with the new ones, every time overhauling occurs.
In the L.M.S rough milling cutting and facing is done. Since the fitting takes place in
H.M.S, the following operations are done here:-
•Facing
•Serration milling
•Crank shaft boring
•Oil hole drilling
•Drilling stud holes
