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.

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!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

Shoe Cleaner
During the fall/winter, snow falls in the northern parts
of the United States. Several people walk in the snow to
their cars. Before they get in their car, their shoes are
covered with excessive amounts of snow and ice. Most
people kick the snow off their shoes but this does not
get all the snow and ice off. When stepping into their
car, the snow and ice melts from the shoe and makes
your floor mats wet.
Cable Organizer
In most houses, people have a huge mess of cables from
several electronics. These cables can be an atrocious
sight when entering a room and can cause several
problems with cables knotting up.
Anti-Sweat
In the summer, it gets extremely hot, and when people
are directly in the sun, sweat gets on the back of their
shirt, which can be extremely embarrassing.
Garbage Holder
People take their garbage cans outside for the garbage
truck to pick up. On windy days, the wind can knock
over the cans thus spilling all your garbage all over your
property and the streets causing more work for you and
the garbage collector.
Backpack Attachment
In school, kids lug around their school supplies and
books in a bag. Most kids have excessively large and
heavy bags carrying all their stuff because of poor
organization in the bag causing back pain and a waste of
space.
Clothing Organizer
Several teenagers are lazy when it comes to folding and
putting away clothes. They are constantly told by their
mothers to do so. Most do it, but in a manner that the
clothes don’t get folded properly and fall apart when
placed in the dresser. Also, when taking shirts out, they
tend to get unfolded and wrinkle up.

18. PROTOTYPE
CREATE
Our first and original prototype was made using paper cut out into thin sheets and shaped
into a band for our product. The strips were made of folder plastic that was cut out. We
decided not to use Velcro and instead opted for a unique design that just required the
bands to be cut in a special way.
Our final prototype was made using a special blue polypropylene plastic that had a
smooth exterior and a textured interior to grip onto the clothing. We later added 3D
printed hooks so we can link multiple prototypes together as well as hang them from
clothes hangers in your closet. One last iteration we made was making the strips movable
across the band instead of being fixed. This allowed for the bands to be tightened to
different sizes for different sized clothing.

After several tests with different people, we received several opinions from the testers

secure the clothes tightly. Such improvement could be that we add a mechanism to hold
the strap in place or use a different material for the strap overall. Another suggestion to
improve our product would be to make our hooks the same dimensions as the average
clothes hanger so the product wouldn’t wobble when placed on one due to the hook
being larger and not gripping it tightly.

decided to replace the plastic straps used to tighten the clothing in place with
polypropylene nylon and used Velcro to buckle the strap and tighten it. This allowed for a
stronger and more snug fit when storing clothing inside our product.
We also redesigned the hooks and clamps on our product to make them smaller and
shorter for easier storage as we all make the hooks tighter so they can fit the dimension of
the hangers more tightly so the product doesn’t move around.
