Some investigations on EDM based hybrid machining process of metal matrix composite

The famous proverb “the necessity is the mother of invention” is highly appropriate in present manufacturing paradigm. In new age, the technology is continually becoming more advance exponentially. The advanced materials are required in many technological fields. In manufacturing many engineering components, there is requirement of materials which has high strength at high temperature, good resistance to chemical degradation, good resistance to wear and having low density. Advanced materials such as superalloys and metal matrix composites satisfy these requirements. But machining of these materials with conventional machining is difficult and sometimes impossible task. Unconventional machining processes (UMPs) such as electric discharge machining, electrochemical machining, ultrasonic machining, laser beam machining, electron beam machining etc have been developed by people to machine these materials. The performance of these AMPs can further be enhanced by hybridizing it with other conventional and unconventional processes Electric discharge abrasive surface grinding (EDDSG) is such a Hybrid UMP which can be used for machining of advanced materials. EDDSG combined EDM and conventional grinding process in a scientific way. In the present work hybrid metal matrix composite is chosen to perform numerous experiments using EDDSG. Variables were peak current, pulse-on time, sensitivity and grit number of abrasive to study the effect of control factors on material removal rate and average surface roughness. Multiple regression method has been used to develop the model for material removal rate and average surface roughness. Further, optimization has been done to achieve best performances using AI tools.

Nonvolatile field-programmable gate array with high-reliability and high intensity using1D2R RRAM array

The huge area overhead of the interconnect is one of the serious issues in static random access memory (SRAM)-based field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), resulting in high power consumption and slow operating speed. Another major issue is the volatile feature of the SRAM, which results in high standby leakage current and long power-ON time. Resistive random access memory (RRAM) which has a high resistance ratio and zero standby power holds great potential in the FPGA application. The conventional RRAM-based nonvolatile FPGAs (NVFPGAs) can use one-transistor 2-RRAM (1T2R) storage element to replace the SRAM or the one RRAM (1R) cell to swap both the nMOS switch and SRAM. However, those NVFPGA schemes may suffer from the problems of low reliability, high configuration power, and high active leakage power. In this paper, we recommend a novel element [one-diode two RRAM (1D2R) cells] to swap the nMOS switch and 6 Transistors (6T) SRAM. In the meantime, the novel block structures of the logic block, connection block, switch block, and the FPGA architecture based on the 1D2R element are recommended. Compared with the conventional 1T2R-based NVFPGA, our novel structure could improve the operational speed by 53% with a 40.5% lower operating power. Compared with the conventional 1R-based NVFPGA, the recommended scheme could greatly reduce the write error rate by eight orders with greater than 20 times minimum write power.

Conservation on Temerloh town

This paper has highlighted the qualities that support the urban heritage conservation of Temerloh Town, Malaysia .Located on Ibrahim Street and near Mosque of Abu Bakar in Temerloh Town. It consists of five units of two storey shops. Principal aim of urban characteristics is to define qualities that maintain the urban way of life. Thus, conservation will aid cultural values and not be limited to isolated examples. The street proportions, based on clear blocks with Clear Street facing elements, create space and are helpful when conservation attitudes are adopted. The sense of place can only be achieved if the urban heritage is still intact and preserved whilst accommodating for new development.

The effect of cervical traction with neural mobilization in cervical radiculopathy patients

Cervical Traction and Neural Mobilization both have been individually advocated for treatment of cervical radiculopathy due to their various effects. But the combined effect of these techniques applied simultaneously has not been explored in studies. Hence the purpose is to find the effect of the simultaneous application of cervical traction and neural mobilization on improvement in neck pain, radicular symptoms and neck disability in subjects with Cervical Radiculopathy. Methods: An experimental study design, 60 subjects with Unilateral Cervical Radiculopathy and ULTT1 (Upper Limb Tension Test) positive for median nerve bias, randomized 20 subjects each into three groups Group A, B and C respectively. Group A received both Cervical Traction and Neural Mobilization. The Group B received only Mechanical Cervical Traction. The Group C received only Neural Mobilization. The duration of intervention was given 3 treatment sessions per week for four weeks. Outcome measures such as Numerical Pain Rating Scale, Global Rating of Change Scale, Neck Disability Index were measured before, at the end of 2nd and 4th-week post-treatment. Results: Comparison of post-intervention means at 2nd and 4th week of treatment there is a statistically significant (p<0.05) difference in improvement in outcome measures between three groups. Group A subjects shown a greater percentage of improvement than Group B and Group C. Conclusion: The present study concludes that simultaneous application of mechanical cervical traction with neural mobilization is more effective in improving pain, functional disability and severity of radicular symptoms than mechanical cervical traction and neural mobilization alone for subjects with unilateral cervical radiculopathy.
