The document provides an overview of smart window technologies, including photocromics, liquid crystals, suspended particle displays, and electrochromics. It discusses the types of smart glass, their functions, representative manufacturers, and technological challenges. The document also addresses the potential market size for smart windows, citing predictions of significant growth. It outlines federal incentives in the US for consumers and businesses to adopt smart window technologies.
Electrochromic smart materials, also known as "smart windows", are windows that use switchable glazing materials to control the amount of light passing through. The glazing materials change their optical properties when voltage is applied. There are three main types of smart glass: electrochromic uses materials like tungsten oxide and changes opacity gradually; suspended particle devices (SPD) use light-absorbing particles that align with voltage to change from opaque to clear; and polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) switch quickly to a milky white state. Each type has advantages and disadvantages regarding switching speed, opacity, power needs, and cost. Smart windows have applications for controlling sunlight and energy use in buildings.
Smart glass, also known as switchable glass, is glass that can change its light transmission properties when voltage, light or heat is applied. There are several types of smart glass: liquid crystal glass allows light to pass through while providing privacy; low-E glass provides energy efficiency and blocks UV rays; thermochromic glass changes tint based on temperature; and electrochromic glass can be electrically tinted and maintains its tint without power. Smart glass provides benefits like easy cleaning, energy savings, UV protection, and doubling as a privacy screen. Its future includes increased cost efficiency, integration with other systems like HVAC, and adding other electronics and functions to the glass.
Imagine turning a knob and controlling the amount of light passing through a window. Several technologies for such switchable glazing are available or under development. One such technology is called Smart window where the user can actually control the amount of light passing through the glass. They can also regulate the amount of solar energy transmitted thorough them. There are presently three types of smart window technologies (SPD), liquid crystal and electro chromic. They are characterized by their ability to vary the throughput of radiant energy by electrical low voltage pulses. A part from energy saving aspects the possibility to vary the transmittance also results in an increased comforts. With the glass it will be a lot easier to keep offices cool in summer. They can also save money.
Electrochromatic glass as compared to other smart glass technologies. Electrochromic glass is used primarily for exterior windows while PDLC smart glass can be used for both interior and exterior glass and windows.
Smart glasses are wearable devices that display real-time information directly in front of users’ field of vision by using Augmented Reality (AR) techniques. Generally, they can also perform more complex tasks, run some applications, and support Internet connectivity. This paper provides an overview of some methods that can be adopted to allow gesture-based interaction with smart glasses, as well as of some interaction design considerations. Additionally, it discusses some social effects induced by a wide-spread deployment of smart glasses as well as possible privacy concerns.
Head-worn displays (HWD) have recently gained significant attention, in particular thanks to the release of a temporary version of Google Glass. Moreover, the anticipation of the commercial launch of Google Glass1 in the upcoming months and the fresh news that Facebook, Inc. acquired Oculus Rift2 increased the popularity of such devices even further. The trend of wearable device purchases is importantly growing and some business analysts forecast more than 20 million annual sales of Google Glass in 2018. Furthermore, researchers have been already studying and investigating HWD for several years. As a consequence, it is important to give an overview of different methods that could be used to interact with smart glasses and, above all, analysing privacy concerns and identifying the current and potential social implications related to these devices has a great significance at this point.
The main purpose of smart glasses is to provide users with information and services relevant for their contexts and useful for the users to perform their tasks; in other words, such devices augment users’ senses. In addition, they allow users to do basic operations available on today common mobile devices such as reading, writing e-mails, writing text messages, making notes, and answering calls. Therefore, although most of the usage of smart glasses is passive for the users, i.e. reading content on the little screen of the device, active interaction with such devices is fundamental to control them and supply inputs. In fact, users need ways to ask smart glasses for instance to open a particular application, answer something they need to know, insert content for emails, messages or input fields, or to control games.

Infrared Plastic Solar & Conventional solar cellsMeghaGambhire
The document discusses infrared plastic solar cells and how they can improve upon conventional solar cells. Infrared plastic solar cells use nano particles called quantum dots combined with a polymer material that can detect energy in the infrared spectrum. This allows them to generate electricity even on cloudy days when visible light cannot pass through clouds but infrared rays can. Infrared plastic solar cells are 30% more efficient than conventional plastic solar cells, are compact in size, can be shaped more flexibly, and require less material to produce compared to conventional bulky solar panels. However, their production costs remain higher currently and they have a shorter lifetime of 5-7 years when continuously exposed to sunlight.

KEMET has been manufacturing conductive polymer based surface mount tantalum capacitors (KO-CAP[registered trademark]) since 1999. Capabilities have been successfully introduced into the market, such as low equivalent series resistance (ESR) series for decoupling, high voltage series for DC-DC converters and power management, and high-energy series for enterprise solid state drives (SSD) applications.
A recent application trend of conductive polymer based tantalum capacitors requires high performance in harsh environments. One example is the application in the automotive industry which requires AEC-Q200 qualification. Amongst all of the AEC-Q200 requirements, the most challenging one for polymer tantalum capacitors with traditional technology is the highly accelerated test under 85 [degree]C / 85% relative humidity (RH) with DC bias up to rated voltage for 1000 hours.
Other industries such as telecommunication are also starting to request 85 [degree]C / 85% RH qualification. A possible reason is an extrapolation based on data from other components that any device passing the 85 °C / 85% RH condition for 1000 hours could have field use life for 5 to 10 years under the real-life environmental conditions.
In this paper, the basic construction and manufacturing process of polymer Ta capacitors is first described. The challenges for polymer Ta capacitors under unbiased and biased high temperature and high humidity conditions will be discussed. This will be followed by possible technical solutions and the performance of our current Polymer Electrolytic T598 series of products.

This document describes a smart card prepaid energy meter system using GSM. The system includes an ARM microcontroller that takes readings from an energy meter and displays it on an LCD. It also sends the reading to the user's phone via text message through a GSM modem. The hardware requirements include components like the microcontroller, GSM modem, LCD, LEDs, resistors, capacitors, transformer, regulator, relay, energy meter and lamp. The software used is the KEIL compiler and embedded C. It allows reducing manual efforts to read energy meters and provides a cost effective solution with reduced manpower.
Superconductor fault current limiters (SFCLs) provide an effective way to limit fault current in power systems. SFCLs use the properties of superconductors, which have virtually zero resistance below a critical temperature, current, and magnetic field. During a fault, the superconductor transitions to a normal resistive state, limiting the fault current. The two main types are resistive and inductive SFCLs. SFCLs offer benefits over traditional fault current limiting methods like faster response, shorter recovery times, and the ability to protect equipment without upgrades. They can be applied in the main transformer, feeder, or bus-tie positions in a power system.
Concept of high-speed Train :-
The council of the European union in their directive no. 96/48/EC has defined the term “High Speed” covering all railway express services operated at speeds in the 200 to 300 km/h range. This includes railway lines:
Built specially for high speed generally equal to or greater than 250 km/h.
Specially upgraded for high speed travels of the order of 200 km/h.
This document describes the design of a prepaid energy meter using a smart card. It uses two microcontrollers - one to control the energy meter section and measure consumption, and another to control the recharge section where the smart card can be recharged. When power is switched on, the microcontroller checks the balance on the smart card and allows power to the load until the balance reaches zero, at which point it cuts off the load. The smart card can then be recharged through the separate recharge section in order to restore power. Key components include the microcontrollers, smart card, LCD display, relays and other supporting electronics to implement this prepaid energy metering system.
This document outlines the course structure for EE 1353 - Power Electronics.

Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) use superconductors to limit fault currents on power grids. There are two main types - resistive SFCLs, which connect a superconductor in series that transitions to a resistive state during a fault, and inductive SFCLs using shielded cores. Resistive SFCLs are usually immersed in coolant to maintain superconductivity and heat generated during faults causes the material's resistance to increase, limiting current. SFCLs can protect entire buses, individual circuits, or tie buses without overloading transformers during faults. They provide faster response, shorter recovery, and more protection cycles than conventional limiters. SFCLs help improve power grid reliability and

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
