Design CIRCUIT: Interesting Reference Designs Of Pulse Oximeter |
Design SYSTEMS: How To Use Genetic Algorithms To Build Efficient Machine Learning Models Genetic algorithms (GAs) are optimising various stages of a machine learning pipeline, focusing on data preparation and model tuning. By employing GAs, we can automate labour-intensive steps, including handling missing data, feature engineering, and hyperparameter optimisation. This step-by-step guide offers an end-to-end blueprint for building more robust and efficient machine learning models to maximise the value extracted from data. |
Do-It-Yourself CIRCUIT IDEA: Stick For The Blind A stick for the blind proposed here is an assistive device that helps visually impaired individuals navigate safely. It features an infrared (IR) sensor that detects obstacles and activates a buzzer to alert the user. A 9V battery powers the circuit for convenient operation. |
Do-It-Yourself PROJECT: Smart, Portable Automotive Doppler Radar This system offers a portable, wireless speed detection solution based on the Doppler effect. It analyses frequency shifts in millimetre wave signals caused by the relative motion between a moving object and the sensor. The system accurately measures the velocity of fast-moving targets such as cars, motorbikes, and trains through precise millimetre wave transmission and reception. |
Do-It-Yourself CIRCUIT IDEA: Universal PWM Signal Isolation Module This PWM (pulse width modulation) signal isolation module is built around the widely adopted 6N137 high-speed optocoupler. The device combines a high-efficiency input LED with an integrated optical photodiode detector IC to ensure robust signal isolation. |
Do-It-Yourself PROJECT: Monitoring And Automation System For Lathe Machines Designed to monitor temperature and vibration in real time, the system enables automated alerts and preventive actions to minimise downtime and extend machine life. It also enhances operator convenience by displaying and transmitting data on an LCD via serial communication. |
Do-It-Yourself PROJECT: Smart Sensors, Smarter Web: Capturing And Recording Data Online Sensors now play a pivotal role in how environmental changes are perceived, monitored, and addressed. These smart devices capture real-world inputs—temperature, humidity, pressure, moisture—and generate the raw data that powers innovation across agriculture, healthcare, environmental science, and smart infrastructure. Their value lies not just in data collection but in effective visualisation and application. |
Do-It-Yourself PROJECT: Detecting Workers Without Helmet Using YOLO V5 And MaixCam In industrial settings, safety helmets are a critical element of personal protective equipment (PPE), acting as the final barrier when other measures fail. Safety departments enforce PPE rules across process plants, especially among large numbers of contract workers. While training builds hazard awareness, studies show supervision plays a stronger role in accident prevention. |
