Automated vehicle number plate recognition or Number Plate Recognition (NPR) is crucial in various applications, including law enforcement, traffic management, and toll collection systems. However, the traditional method of manual inspection of images is time-consuming and prone to errors. With the advancements in computer vision and deep learning techniques, identifying vehicle number plates has become more efficient and accurate. In this paper, we present a methodology for identifying vehicle number plates using the VGG16 convolutional neural network. We collected a dataset of vehicle images with their corresponding number plates and preprocessed the data to train the CNN using algorithms like transfer learning. The VGG16 CNN has been pre-trained on a large data set that is the ImageNet dataset, which makes it an excellent candidate for fine-tuning on specific tasks like vehicle number plate recognition. After training, we evaluated the performance of the CNN on a test dataset and deployed it in a real-world application. Our results show that the VGG16 CNN can accurately recognize number plates on different types of vehicles in various lighting conditions. This methodology improves efficiency and accuracy while reducing manual inspection errors. It can be used as an essential tool for automated number plate recognition in various applications, enabling faster processing times and reducing costs associated with manual inspection. The methodology presented in this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of deep learning techniques in automating vehicle number plate recognition. The VGG16 CNN architecture, combined with transfer learning and preprocessing techniques, can accurately recognize number plates, providing a reliable and efficient solution for automated number plate recognition system.

Electric motors are one of the more environmentally friendly transportation alternatives, which can be a problem solution to reduce pollution. Besides that, electric motors have become a necessity in the future. Opportunities to accelerate automotive electrification come from motorcycles. Motorcycles are not as complicated as developing electric cars. In this paper, the C-70 bike is a preferred target for driving force because it has a slim body, a lightweight, is not too large construction, and is still fashionable. In this paper, some steps are being taken to its manufacture. The first one, calculating the required electric motor power requirements. The second, to design and assembly the C-70 motorcycle frame with BLDC dynamo. The third is the C-70 motorcycle performance test inside and outside the Town, and the last one, the C-70 motorcycle painting as the final process. The electric motor's design results can cover 49 km with an average speed of 30-40 km/hour while out of Town with roads up and down mountains. At the same time, this electric motor can cover 50.23 km with an average speed of 30-40 km/hour from a fully charged battery condition in urban areas. So that's roughly 97.5 per cent of the distance travelled within the Town. So, this electric motor is more suitable in urban areas because there are many places to charge the battery, and it is more efficient to use when inside the Town. Besides that, the process of assessing the battery in this electric motor design takes 4 hours 30 minutes from the battery condition 0% (0 Volt) to 100% (81.5 Volt).

For handling in automated (robot-based) assembly processes, different gripper solutions are often required for different parts or process steps. In addition, introducing a new grasping solution can also be a time-consuming job. Previous solutions use e.g. specialized tool changing systems where the entire gripper system is exchanged to handle the variations of different parts, shapes and geometries. However, these systems are expensive and require an entire magazine of complete gripper systems. Therefore, in this paper we present a flexible, easy and cost-efficient fingertip exchange system. In this way, only one gripper is needed, as it can be used for many different fingertips. The system consists of a mechanical fingertip changing system, which can be installed on different (user-specific) gripper systems. In addition, we introduce a Parametrized Finger Method that automates the design for custom fingertips. Important process parameters such as the type of gripper kinematics, grasping force and max. length of the gripper fingers can be taken into account. The fingertips can then be manufactured cost-effectively with a 3D printer and fit perfectly to the individual objects. The system was benchmarked by the task-board task from the World Robot Challenge 2018 and with a UR5 robot. The average success rate of the automatically generated tips in this real-world scenario was 90 %. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By augmenting silicon PV cells with close to 50% efficient multi-junction cells, there is the potential to approximately double overall conversion efficiency of solar PV modules. In this paper we describe the design of a hybrid module built onto a commercial 1 m x 2 m bifacial PV module. This serves not only to harvest the energy of diffuse light, but also to carry and cool an array of small multijunction PV cells to harvest direct sunlight. The single-junction silicon PV cells of the bifacial are sealed between 2 mm thick glass windows, front and back. In our design, the MJ cells are attached to the bifacial module's front window via 5 mm square copper/ceramic substrates. Attached in front of the module is a glass sheet formed into an array of 34 mm square lenses which focus sunlight to the cells while also transmitting diffuse light to the module's silicon cells. An 8 mm diameter secondary ball lens is bonded in front of each 2 mm square MJ cell, yielding 290 x concentration, maintained at >95% geometric throughput for solar mis-pointing as far as 1° off-axis. To ensure good cooling of the MJ cell, despite its being mounted on glass, the copper wires used to carry electrical power to the sides of the bifacial module are configured to also carry heat away from the cells. The wires have 1 mm square cross section and are bonded along their full length to the glass, with thermally conductive adhesive. Thermal modeling shows that for DNI solar illumination of 1 kW/m2, the temperature drop between the MJ cells and the back convecting surface of the bifacial module is limited to 10°C. The lens array is imprinted into a full-size (1 m x 2 m), 6 mm thick sheet of glass, by a process in which the sheet is first heated to 850°C, then pressed between relatively cold molds. The focal length of these lenses is chosen to be 125 mm, slow enough at f/3.5 to limit total internal reflection losses of the diffuse light to ∼10%. To minimize shipping costs, the glass sheets and modified bifacial modules will be packed and shipped separately, for assembly on-site as complete hybrid modules, using reflective side walls. We envisage that dual axis tracking will be provided by augmentation of single axis E-W tracking now used for standard utility scale PV plants, with the addition of cross-axes to turn the modules also in the N-S direction.

In a huge congregation, several pilgrimages went missing because they got lost or other causes. Moreover, during the holy seasons, cases like panicking due to getting scattered around from the group or getting lost and not finding the way back. To accommodate this problem, Portable Pilgrim Tracker is proposed in this paper to overcome those missing pilgrimages cases. Portable Pilgrim Tracker is a monitoring and tracking device designated to detect the user's location and heart rate in real-time. Using Wi-Fi technology as the medium of data transmission, the data is collected from the GPS module and pulse sensor Arduino. The information such as the user's real-time location and heart rate will be sent to the guardian's Blynk mobile application. With the usage of this portable pilgrim tracker, it is expected that this will be able to assist the mobile application user (guardians or travel agency staff) with the screen of live maps about Pilgrim's location and their heart rate to avoid any unwanted consequences such as missing Pilgrim and health compilation.

The hybrid modules developed by a Swiss startup, Insolight, consist of a micro-concentrator photovoltaic (micro-CPV) sub-module mounted on a non-concentrator Si backplane. Embedding the micro-CPV cells on top of the flat plate module complements the high efficiency of the CPV with the geographic versatility of the Si cells. Characterization of such modules should be adapted for the requirements and challenges posed by the component submodules. The top CPV layer utilizes the direct component of the incident radiation and the bottom Si layer utilizes the diffuse component. Therefore, it is necessary to test the modules under two lighting conditions. This paper demonstrates a novel solar simulator design for the indoor characterization of hybrid modules based on the collimated-light solar simulator for CPV modules developed by the Instituto de Energía Solar-UPM. The new simulator design adds provisions for testing Silicon submodules under uniform diffuse light by incorporating diffusive elements in the collimated-light path and reducing stray light. The existing CPV simulator at UPM has been refurbished to test the new design concepts. The I-V curve of a hybrid module has been characterized indoors using several configurations and compared to reference measurements obtained outdoors in order to optimize and validate the new setup.

Over the last few years there has been an ongoing effort at the Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Laboratory within Washington University to develop data analysis applications using Bayesian probability theory. A few of these applications are specific to Magnetic Resonance data, however, most are general and can analyze data from a wide variety of sources. These data analysis applications are server based and they have been written in such a way as to allow them to utilize as many processors as are available. The interface to these Bayesian applications is a client based Java interface. The client, usually a Windows PC, runs the interface, sets up an analysis, sends the analysis to the server, fetches the results and displays the appropriate plots on the users client machine. Together, the client and server software can be used to solve a host of interesting problems that occur regularly in the sciences. In this paper, we describe both the client and server software and briefly discuss how to acquire, install and maintain this software. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
