ROLE OF WASHINGTON ACCORD ON ACCREDITATION




INTRODUCTION

There are several international agreements governing mutual recognition of engineering qualifications and professional competence. In each of the agreements countries who wish to participate may apply for membership, and if accepted become members or signatories to the agreement. In a broad principle, each country must meet its own costs, and body making application must verify that it is the appropri ....etc

1. INTRODUCTION

Have you been to the gas station this week? Considering that we live in a very mobile society, it's probably safe to assume that you have. While pumping gas, you've undoubtedly noticed how much the price of gas has soared in recent years. Gasoline which has been the main source of fuel for the history of cars, is becoming more and more expensive and impractical (especially from an environmental standpoint). These factors are leading car manufacturers to develop cars fueled by alternative energies. Two hyb ....etc

AIR MUSCLES.
Abstract
Air muscle is essentially a robotic actuator which is replacing the conventional pneumatic cylinders at a rapid pace. Due to their low production costs and very high power to weight ratio, as high as 400:1, the preference for Air Muscles is increasing. Air Muscles find huge applications in biorobotics and development of fully functional prosthetic limbs, having superior controlling as well as functional capabilities compared with the current models. This paper discusses Air Muscles in general, the ....etc

ABSTRACT
Recent advances in microelectromechanical systems, CMOS electronics and embedded computer systems will finally let us page link computer circuitary to neural cells in live animals. The key components of such a brain “computer system includes neural probes, analog electronics and miniature microcomputer. These bioembedded systems are called neurochips. By enabling better study of animal behavior™s neural basis, implantable computers may revolutionize field biology and event ....etc

Abstract”
In this paper, a real-time system to create a talking head from a video
sequence without any user intervention is presented. In the proposed
system, a probabilistic approach, to decide whether or not extracted
facial features are appropriate for creating a three-dimensional (3-D)
face model, is presented. Automatically extracted two-dimensional
facial features from a video sequence are fed into the proposed
probabilistic framework before a corresponding 3-D face model is built
to avoid g ....etc

KUTTICHAL, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
NOVEMBER 2010




ABSTRACT

A scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) is reminiscent of a ramjet. The basic components of scramjet are inlet, diffuser, fuel injector, flame holder, igniter, and combustion chamber and exhaust nozzle. The basic principle of scramjet is same as that of any type of engine, intake, compression, combustion ....etc

AIR CAR
Abstract
The Air car is a car currently being developed and, eventually, manufactured by Moteur Developpement International (MDI), founded by the French inventor Guy Nègre. It will be sold by this company too, as well as by ZevCat, a US company, based in California.
The air car is powered by an air engine, specifically tailored for the car. The used air engine is being manufactured by CQFD Air solution, a company closely linked to MDI.
The engine is powered by co ....etc

De-regulation of power market brings changes by creating an increase in competition among utilities. Minimizing the cost of maintenance and losses due to cable failures is a key to successful operation. Simulations demonstrate the possibility of applying condition-based maintenance for the entire service period of a cable system if maintenance cost could be lowered to a certain level. The aging of power cables begins long before the cable actually fails. Preventing incipient failures developing into failures can greatly reduce loses. There are ....etc

Diesel Engines
Beginning with the 2007 model year, new heavy-duty engines must meet a particulate matter (PM)
emission standard of 0.01 grams per brake horsepower hour (g/bhp-hr). The highway diesel program also
establishes standards for nitrous oxide (NOx) and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) of 0.20 g/bhp-hr
and 0.14 g/bhp-hr, respectively. The NOx and NMHC standards are phased in over three years, wh ....etc

A virtual retinal display (VRD), also known as a retinal scan display (RSD), is a new display technology that draws a raster display (like a television) directly onto the retina of the eye. The user sees what appears to be a conventional display floating in space in front of them. In the past similar systems have been made by projecting a defocused image directly in front of the user's eye on a small screen, normally in the form of large sunglasses. The user focused their eyes on the background, where the screen appeared to be floating. The d ....etc
