This document is a lab project report submitted by three students on an automatic headlight dimmer circuit. It includes an introduction describing the need for automatic headlight dimmers in vehicles. It then describes the circuit components used, including an NE555 timer IC, resistors, capacitors, an LDR light sensor, diode, potentiometer, relay and battery. The components are described in detail. The circuit diagram and working are also explained, indicating how the LDR sensor detects ambient light levels and the timer IC controls the relay to switch the headlights on and off automatically. Applications of the circuit and conclusions from the project are also mentioned.
Dimmers are devices used to vary the brightness of lights by changing the voltage waveform applied. Early dimmers used inefficient variable resistors or rheostats, but modern dimmers use silicon-controlled rectifiers for higher efficiency. Dimmers are used both in domestic and professional lighting installations, with professional dimmers often controlled digitally via protocols like DMX. Key developments included the first solid-state dimmer by Joel Spira and the introduction of thyristor dimmers which enabled remote analog control.

Intelligent Traffic Light control using Embedded SystemsSrijan Singh
This document discusses an intelligent traffic light control system using embedded systems. It begins with an introduction to embedded systems and what differentiates them from general purpose computers. It then discusses how embedded applications are created by writing software, designing hardware, and testing. The document presents intelligent traffic light control as an example application, where traffic lights and car behaviors are optimized using machine learning methods. Traffic lights communicate with cars to minimize average wait times. Reinforcement learning is used to estimate wait times under different light settings. The results showed this approach reduced average waiting times by at least 70% during busy traffic. The conclusion states this intelligent traffic light control offers higher performance than previous controllers and has potential for larger intelligent transportation system applications.
