EMBEDDED BASED REMOTE ACCESS AND CONTROL SYSTEM THROUGH 3G COMMUNICATION
Robbery is a danger encountered several times. Modern electronics yields itself for robbery; also it shows ways to avoid it. We have, therefore, in this project, attempted to develop an integrated system that combines the features of a Embedded controller, GSM and IoT devices to be useful in detecting, monitoring and protecting through internet. The ultra modern micro electronics has made opportunities for the development of such security system with the advent of sensors for sensing the presence of a person. We use PIR sensor unit to detect the presence of any Person. Our system consists of three sections detecting, monitoring and protecting. Here detecting system consists of PIR sensor to indicate the motion of the human being. Smoke sensor to detect the smoke. Temperature sensor to sense the temperature variations. Vibration sensor to sense vibration level. Door breakage detector to detect the breaking of door to rob. Second section is monitoring, when the intruder enters into the monitoring area this sensor detect the intruder and immediately send the indication to the user through mail to reveal the message and also send the alert SMS to the user for notification. By this user can able to understand something has happened in his place and he can proceed for further action. Last section is protective section, it consists of spray control system which is controlled through internet to make the opponent unconscious for certain interval. Hence the electronic system which provides these three sections helps to prevent the properties from robbery and other unnecessary problem and also provides solution to the user to live a secured life.
Visible Light Communication and Device Switching Using Embedded Web Server
Abstract: A wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for transmission of data can be termed as Li-Fi also known as Visible Light Communication. The main purpose of this paper is particularly to show the advantages of Li-Fi technology in audio transmission and device switching using an embedded web server with light as the medium of transmission. Here the LED is used as the source of light for transmitting the necessary information to the receiver. This technology enables in sending more data to the receiving end very quickly. Li-Fi makes use of transmitter fitted with LED lamps that can illuminate a room as well as transmit information. As this technology uses LEDs, there is no need of separate infrastructure to be deployed exclusively for this purpose. Thus existing LED lights in conjunction with a transmitter circuit can be used for data transmission which can be received by the receiver equipped with appropriate circuitry thereby reducing the use of Radio Frequency for wireless transmission of data.
Simulation of Locomotive Control of Traction Motor Using a New Bidirectional ...
Abstract: This project mainly concentrates on a simulation of locomotive control of traction motors with a new bidirectional DC-DC-AC converter using Renewable Energy Sources. The existing system is developed with four quadrant operation of dc series motor or induction motor fed voltage and frequency control using power electronic controllers. But in this system the efficiency is low and speed control is not synchronized with other motors. Therefore there is jerking of compartments, uniform braking is not possible in the traction system. The DC motors have been utilized for traction for over one hundred years and were originally chosen because of their inherent compatibility with traction power supplies and ease of mounting within locomotive bogies. The proposed system is designed with fuel cell based bidirectional DC-DC-AC dual inverter for traction motor to optimize third harmonic distortion, switching pattern losses, voltage fluctuations, reducing of switches, cost and also increasing efficiency and feasible operation of traction motors. The Fuel cell based system is powered to the traction motor to run forward, reverse and regenerative braking operation with the help of bidirectional control. So that the kinematic operation of traction motor is control the voltage, speed, torque levels using the ZVS DC-DC-AC converters. The proposed multilevel inverter minimizes the THD with the implementation of Z-source inverter. It is useful in boosting the voltage and additionally reducing the voltage fluctuations in the nine switch Z-source inverter. In a fuel cell powered to traction system the bidirectional dc-dc converter and inverter are essential for efficient performance of the traction motor. The simulation of dual converters is developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK and rotor current, stator current, stator voltage, rotor speed, electromagnetic torque and rotor angle is obtained for the traction motor. The multilevel inverters are developed to reduce the total third harmonic distortions (THD) in the converters. The multilevel converters are used to reduce the switching pattern losses. The performance of the traction system is compatible and running of motors is continuous without any disturbances. The most advantageous of the system is the multistep boost ZVS converter is implemented to maintain the constant power output.

The student discusses how researching existing media texts helped them develop their skills and apply techniques from real examples. They analyzed horror trailers, films, and posters to plan techniques for their own trailer. Researching genres allowed them to follow conventions like using woods locations and handheld camera shots while also adding variations like a female psycho killer. Their trailer received over 4,000 views, showing it successfully fit the horror genre through elements like pacing, symbolism, and an open ending. Overall, researching real media helped the student progress significantly over the two years and produce an engaging horror trailer that captured its intended audience.
Production concepts summary
The document summarizes survey results from the filmmaker's target audience about two potential storylines for a horror film. For storyline one, which involved an old house setting and mixed-aged characters, the feedback was that it was conventional for the genre and appealing. Storyline two, about characters stranded in an isolated setting, was also found conventional, though not all survey respondents said they would want to watch it. Based on the feedback, the filmmaker determined that storyline one was more conventional and appealing than two, but ultimately neither was chosen for the final film.
Suzy Neale's Evaluation
The document provides an analysis of the thriller film created by the student. It discusses the key elements incorporated from generic thriller conventions including an antagonist, mystery, suspense, and representation of social groups. It summarizes the filming and editing process, challenges encountered working with the group, and strengths and weaknesses of the equipment used. The student learned skills using editing software and reflects on how their skills and understanding of thrillers improved from the preliminary task.
Presentation1
The document discusses how the media product, a horror film trailer, uses and challenges conventions of existing horror film trailers and other media. It analyzed typical conventions in trailers, posters, and film magazines. The trailer follows many conventions, such as an eerie soundtrack, fast edits, and leaving the killer's identity ambiguous. However, it challenges conventions by having a vulnerable male protagonist rather than the typical vulnerable female. The document examines how the trailer fulfills the uses and gratifications theory by engaging audiences and allowing them to interpret events and decide if they want to see the full film.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Hands
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.

Saw trailer analysis
- 10. Overall I found this trailer interesting to analyse as it is very iconic of the horror genre and is a really good example of an older horror film that broke boundaries of traditional genre stereotypes. For example the high key lighting being used to create a feeling of uneasiness and shock factor is something we’d like to incorporate into our own pieces of work. Although this genre is very different from the one we have chosen to create, I think that this analysis has helped me to understand more about the differences between sub genres of horror – even though we will not be using some elements for inspiration such as the bright green filter, we will be inspired in terms of the fast paced cuts and editing. Henry Jenkins said ‘ genre should not be understood as rules or restrictions’therefore we want to make our trailer as original and creative as possible which we feel that SAW did, as at the time, this type of film was ground breaking.
