...sun’s rays. Development of solar panel tracking systems has been ongoing for several years now. As the sun moves across the sky during the day, it is advantageous to have the solar panels track the location of the sun, such that the panels are always perpendicular to the solar energy radiated by the sun. This will tend to maximize the amount of power absorbed by the PV systems. It has been estimated that the use of a tracking system, over a fixed system, can increase the power output by 30%-60%. The increase is significant enough to make tracking a viable preposition despite of the enhancement in system cost. It is possible to align the tracking heliostat normal to sun using electronic control by a microcontroller. Fig 1.1(b) Working of Solar Energy System Solar energy is the energy force that sustains life on earth for all plants, animals, and people. It provides a compelling solution for all the societies to meet their needs for clean, abundant sources of energy in the future. The source of solar energy is the nuclear interactions at the core of the Sun...

The sensors are fixed at 5000 meters on foreside and 1000 meters on aft side, wecall fore side sensor pair for common towards gate train, and aft side sensors for the train just Crosses the gate. When train cross the fore side sensor it gives signal to the gate receiver to close the gate. The buzzer is activated to clear the gate area for drivers .Gate motor is turned on in one direction and gate is closed, and stay closed till train crosses the gate and reaches aft side sensors when aft side receiver get activated motor turns in opposite direction and gate opens and motor stops . If there is any problem in the gate means it will operate red signal on both side for the driver indication. Train arrival and departure sensing can be achieved by means of IR Sensor ,when the train cuts the IR rays placed at 5km before the gate, sensor get activated and this acts as a signal to the FPGA kit indicating train arrival. RED signal appears for the road user .A buzzer is made on as a pre cautionary measure for the road users.The LASER and LDR circuit is used to monitor the obstacle in between the gates,the...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION A parallel mechanism is a closed-loop mechanism of which the end-effector is connected to the base by a multitude of independent kinematic chains. Generally it comprises two platforms which are connected by joints or legs acting in parallel. In recent years, parallel kinematic mechanisms have attracted a lot of attention from the academic and industrial communities due to their potential applications not only as robot manipulators but also as machine tools. The dream of all developers in Machine Tools has always been to combine the flexibility and envelope of the robots with the accuracy and stiffness of traditional Machine Tools. In the last 20 years the focus of this development has been Parallel Kinematics Machines so called PKM. This technology means that the motions in X, Y and Z are performed by three or more parallel axis that gives an outstanding stiffness and accuracy with a maintained flexibility and envelope. Generally, the criteria used to compare the performance of traditional serial robots and parallel robots are the workspace, the ratio between the payload and the robot mass, accuracy, and dynamic behavior. In addition to the reduced coupling effect between joints, parallel robots bring the benefits of much higher payload-robot mass ratios, superior accuracy and greater stiffness; qualities which lead to better dynamic performance. The main drawback with parallel robots is the relatively small workspace. ...
