And The Phrase” The Sun Is On…!” Hurts..!

August 23, 2011
It is the day that i have awaited more than My 20th B’day. Ofcourse i dint worked that hard to deserve anything!
TORQUE_ A Technical Orchid……..Quest for Excellence is the event that i have wauted for.!The last event in the year 2011 in UCE…!
Initial hiccups couldn’t deter the determined organizers from conducting the event.!With a modest support from the department and a meagre amount of Rs.20,000/- funds!
I still wonder how these guys had managed such an event to fare far better than other events in University!
The very first day saw many fresh faces in department…
Enormous inflow of new waters flooded into old still waters.
With a big question mak on my face i continued to wonder ” Will it be a success..?”
There isn’t even a single instant from which i could learn nothing right from the startig of inagural function to the last word of Thanks gving speech of Valedictory!
Its alwaz irritating to sit in an audi hearing to some blah blah…of eminent speakers with all doors either closed or guarded by some self proclaimed coordinators.!
Somehow they got crowd for that Inagural!
I have managed to escape to stalls.!
I was participating in every torque…
This is my 3rd Torque and 3rd time i have been in stall!
When i was in 1st yr we dint celebrated even though we got some profits….!!
But as the time gre my mind started transforming and i found that celebration of every possible ocassion will be the essence of Engineering life.!
3 different teams in 3 Torques!
Ofcourse i(We) have started celebrating in 2nd yr!
The cricket fever which was feared of was perfectly battled!
Achievable target and dogged performance from Men In Blue and of course some luck of Mr.Cool MSD could have costed us dearly.!
But thanks to performers who kept the audience to glue to their chairs.!
U happened to be computer operator for that day’s culturals ” ROCK ON”
Very close to stage!
I Torque-10 It was ” MY Love Is Gone”
And In Torque-11 It was MJ’s ” DANGEROUS”
Everyone is going crazy of MJ these days….
I feel that MJ fever is still on even though MJ Departed.!
And the thing i came to know
and which has adrenalized my thoughts of organising a whole college event is That JNTU is under transformation!
I’m in the university since 3 yrs…
But i haven’t spotted A Jr Anchoring an Event…
Thanks to all enthusiastic jrs….
I expect their cooperation for whole college Techno-Cultural Fest!
And the other thing is A Boy and Girl from same class dancing together on same stage…!!
A welcomed sign for a world class university!
And the good news came by air in the midst of celebration that Men In Blue had edged Kangaroo’s out of CWC-11
Thunderous applause to MIB rocked the Whole university campus…!
Finally the show halted at 1:00 am
for the next few hours i have slept and when i woke up i found the Sun is Just on….
Another day of surprises is waiting!

PASSIVE LIGHT SENSOR

August 22, 2011

Rain sensor systems:

Opto electronic sensors are used in a reflective mode in rain sensor systems to detect the presence of water on the windshield so that the windshield wipers can be controlled automatically.

An LED emits light in such a way that when the windshield is dry almost the entire amount of light is reflected onto a light sensor. When the windshield is wet, the reflective behavior changes: the more water there is on the surface, the less light is reflected. In the new rain sensor, infrared light is used instead of conventional visible light. This means that the sensor can be mounted in the black area at the edge of the windshield and cannot be seen from outside.

Working Operation:

An infrared beam is reflected off the outer windshield surface back to the infrared sensor array. When moisture strikes the windshield, the system detects a reflection to its infrared beam. Advanced analogue and digital signal processing determines the intensity of rain. The sensor communicates to the wiper control module, which switches on the wiper motor and controls the wipers automatically, according to the moisture intensity detected.

Depending on the quantity of rain detected, the sensor controls the speed of the wiper system. In conjunction with electronically controlled wiper drive units, the wiping speed can be continuously adjusted in intermittent operation. In the event of splash water – as when overtaking a truck – the system switches immediately to the highest speed.

The new rain sensor offers further options. For example, it can be used to close windows and sunroofs automatically if the vehicle is parked and it starts to rain. It can even be fitted with an additional light sensor to control the headlights – at night or at the entrance to a tunnel, the lights can be switched on without any intervention by the driver.

Light Sensors:

Automatic lighting of the headlights is controlled by a passive light sensor. It measures available light using a set of photo-electric cells.

The light sensor comprises three lenses that focus the light onto three photo-electric cells. This allowed “the luminous space” surrounding the vehicle into several zones through the directivity of each basic lens cell pair.

  • Lens 1: Measure total ambient light
  • Lens 2: Intersect Front source of light
  • Lens 3: Distinguish Road Condition (Like brighter sunny weather condition or Dark tunnel)

By comparing the information gathered by these three devices, the system computer determines the situation with which the vehicle is confronted and commands the headlights in consequence.
