The system components are one computer, one GPS receiver and one Python program. The tilt angle is calculated through the maximization of the flux of direct radiation incident upon a flat solar collector.…

Computer programming course that utilizes languages such as C/C++ is always packed with dreary syntax details that consume most of the students’ learning time to obtain ‘grammatically’ correct source code. Consequently, it is difficult for most of the students to apply the theory they have learned in a real life context. Thus, this project proposed…

The For the last three decades, end-to-end computing paradigms, such as MPI (Message Passing Interface), RPC (Remote Procedure Call) and RMI (Remote Method Invocation), have been the de facto paradigms for distributed and parallel programming. Despite of the successes, applications built using these paradigms suffer due to the proportionality factor of crash in the application…

Energy efficiency is a salient design consideration for stabilization mechanisms when assembled on a battery-powered vehicle. In this paper we study the implementation of a two-axis gimbal with passive revolute joints for motion isolation of an inertially stabilized platform (ISP) mounted on a host vehicle. The objective is for the ISP to maintain a steady…
