COVID-19: The Use of 3D Printing to Address PPE Shortage during a Pandemic—A Safety Perspective

Food plays a vital role in our day-to-day life to get all the required nutrients for a healthy lifestyle. In recent years, obesity has become one of the major concerns among humans. Therefore, it is necessary for each individual to keep track of the nutrition intake in order to have a balanced diet. This has scaled up the implementation of automatic food analysis and semantic food detection using different image classification approaches, among which Deep Learning has brought a series of breakthroughs in this field. We have proposed the Food Classifier and Nutrition Interpreter (FCNI), a user-friendly tool that classifies various food types with a different graphical representation of food nutrients values in terms of calorie estimation along with a multimedia audio response. FCNI improves state-of-the-art food detection by a considerable margin on achieving about 96.81% accuracy.

Accelerated quality improvement of 3D printed objects based on a case-based reasoning system

In this paper, we have designed a graphical user interface (GUI) for fluid detection to make the system easy to operate and visualize the results with an efficient user interface. The existing fluid analyzer operates on the command-line interface, the new modern graphical user interface is user-friendly and easy to understand for the operator without prior knowledge of the system. We have designed the GUI using Python language along with Qt library using the computational ability of raspberry pi processor. Due to the development of the BioChem application for fluid analyzers, the system is time-efficient and user-friendly, shortcut keys are used to minimize the working process of the overall system. Python is a high-level language easy to understand and write, anyone can script it according to the future requirement of a fluid analyzing system. BioChem application is developed for fluid analyzer which is used to detect the different fluid parameters such as sugar level, insulin level, and cholesterol in the blood and can be utilized for other fluid analysis applications like analysis of water, milk, and fuel. 

BioChem: Development of Graphical User Interface for Fluid Analyzer

In current scenario, 3D printing is a revolutionary technology for design and development of 3-dimensional digital model and prototyping objects. There are various 3D printing technologies available today. This paper presents the ‘fused deposition modeling’ technique of 3D printing and its applications in making real world objects. Here, a 3D printer is used for the development and implementation purpose. 3D printing is being used to teach both students and pedagogue about 3D printer and to develop 3D printing skills. This technology helps to develop design skills and methodologies for creativity; to create art effects that can be used as learning aids or as assistive technologies in special learning settings. This paper mainly describes how to design and develop various objects and prototypes with this technology. It also focuses on how this technique is helpful and beneficial to educational projects and engineering-based researches.

Three-Dimensional Printing: Revolutionary Technology for Academic Use & Prototype Development

Handheld devices and smartphone at present are being used as a high potential learning devices and due to which the enhancement of academic curriculum based on smart devices have major impact on quality education. The increased popularity of tablets made its usage in education field also. This paper focuses on the design and development of a SmartTab, which is a prototype of a Smart Tablet having characteristics of both a tablet and a laptop. It is one of the tablet working with a desktop OS (Raspbian), which makes it different from other tablets that are designed with mobile OS. It is designed with some different aspects such as providing ports for input/output, connections for any display device such as LCD, etc. Thus it is different from traditional tablets, but includes features of them as well along with some new features. Traditional tablets mainly serves as an entertainment medium, while SmartTab can be useful for both entertainment as well as learning purposes. This paper presents PyQT framework as an effective tool which provides the cross-platform design & development of Smart Learning System.
