Implementation of E-voting Machine Project using Python and Arduino

INTRODUCTION

Our E-voting Machine project is very useful, This Project was implemented using Python and Arduino. The user is no longer required to check his register in search of records, after the voting procedure gets over, the admin will be able to calculate the total number of votes in just one click since the entire work is done using computers. The user just needs to enter his/her unique voter ID.

In today’s world, no one likes to manually analyze the result after the voting procedure gets over because the process is time-consuming and of which results get usually delayed. Everyone wants his/her work to be done by computer automatically and displaying the result for further manipulations. So this E-voting Machine project is about providing convenience regarding voting.

Design and Implement a Healthcare Monitoring and Management System IoT Project

Nowadays Internet of Things is bringing a revolution in the infrastructure of technologies. The IoT-based health monitoring system is essentially a patient monitoring system in which he can be supervised 24*7. Remote Patient Monitoring arrangement enables observation of patients outside of customary clinical settings (e.g. at home), which expands access to human services thus bringing down costs. Healthcare is given extreme importance by each country with the advent of the novel coronavirus.

Recently there has been a spike in the use of smartphones and along with that, wearable sensor remote health monitoring has evolved quickly. IoT not only helps in preventing the spread of disease but also in getting a proper diagnosis, even if the doctor is present at a remote distance By facilitating effortless interaction among various modules, IoT has enabled us to implement various complex systems such as smart home appliances, smart traffic control systems, etc.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

The main objective of this Healthcare Monitoring and Management System is to develop, design, and implement a smart patient healthcare monitoring system. The sensors used here are embedded in the body of the patient to sense the parameters like the heartbeat and temperature. These sensors are connected to a master unit, which calculates all of their values. These values are then transmitted by leveraging IoT cloud technology, to the base. From the base station, these can be easily accessed by the doctor present at some other location. Thus based on the temperature and heartbeat values, the doctor can decide the state of the patient and appropriate measures can be taken.

OBJECTIVE:

Monitor patient parameters remotely to increase the efficacy of healthcare management systems

IDEATION:

We need to monitor the patient parameters from remote distances using various sensors. The data given out by the sensors are then sent over to the cloud for further access via a Wi-Fi module (inbuilt or externally connected). This is being done to reduce the critical time of testing patient parameters before any major operation.

Here we are measuring the temperature and pulse parameters of a patient remotely.

Components required:-

MLX 90614 Temperature
MAX 30102 Pulse Rate
Jumper wires.
Nodemcu ESP8266 board

The Gantt Chart is shown below:-

smart patient healthcare monitoring system

Summary:-

 Health care is given extreme importance nowadays by each country with the advent of the novel coronavirus. Thus in this regard, an IoT-controlled healthcare monitoring system is most probably the best solution for such an epidemic. Internet of Things (IoT) is the new revolution of the internet which is a growing research field, especially in health-related services.

“Healthcare Monitoring and Management System” is the project where we have mainly focused on two objectives first one was a smart health monitoring system, to collect the health history of patients with a unique ID and store it in a database so that doctors need not spend much of their time in search of the report and give analysis right from the dashboard. Any health care that is being done will be updated and reflected in the dashboard itself. And the other one is the Wearable-Sensor-Based Fall Detection System for aged people, to monitor their movements of them, recognize a fall from normal daily activities by using sensors, and automatically send a request or an alert for help to the caregivers so that they can pick up the patient.

However, there are a few shortcomings to this too. Basic knowledge of the operation is to be learned by the caregivers. Also, both the caregiver and the wearer should know how to protect the sensors from water damage or any physical damage.

Detection of Currency Notes and Medicine Names for the Blind People Project

OBJECTIVE:-

We have seen blind people facing many problems like fake Currency Notes Detection in our society. So, we have come up with some solutions for some problems they face. As they are blind, they are not able to read the medicine’s name and they always depend on another person for help. Some people take advantage of their disability and cheat them by taking extra money or by giving them less money. And by this Currency Notes Detection project, we are making them independent in terms of medical benefits.

METHODOLOGY: –

To overcome the problem of blind people we have come up with an innovative idea, where we are making use of machine learning, image processing, OpenCV, text-to-speech, and OCR technologies. To make their life comfortable.
In this Currency Notes Detection project, we are using a camera for getting the input, where the inputs are pictures of medicine and currency. These images can be manipulated using image processing and OpenCV. Once the processed image is obtained then it is cropped and thresholding is done, In the next stage we will extract the name of the medicine, then we will convert that text into speech using text-to-speech technology.

Similarly, we will also take pictures of currency, and then by using image processing and machine learning we will compare the picture with a predefined database of the currency that we have already prepared. The next process will be to convert the value of currency into text and then the text is converted into speech using text-to-speech technology.

Block Diagram: –

Technology Used:

  • Image Processing: To extract necessary information
  • OpenCV: To threshold image, color shifting, scanning, and cropping, setting grey level, and extract contours
  • Python 3: To set up the environment and interact with devices
  • OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
  • Machine Learning: Handwritten data is trained in a classifier to process manual marks awarded.

Results

The Detection of Currency Notes and Medicine Names for the Blind People Project can help the blind person in the detection of currency notes and medicine names. By this, the blind person would take care of himself without the help of any caretakers. This would make their life easier and simpler. The talk-back feature used would help them to access the application easily without any complications.

  • This project would help blind people to detect the proper currency that they have received or which they need to give without being cheated for receiving the wrong currency or by avoiding giving the wrong currency. This would make them economically stable and strong
  • Not only in currency detection but also this project would help blind people to recognize the name of the tablet and also help them to know how many dosages they need to take as per the name of the tablet.

This Currency Notes Detection project would help blind persons both in an economical way and in the perspective of health. This would make their life easier and make them confident.

Applications

  • Blind persons will be able to recognize the correct currency without getting cheated in any type of money transaction.
  • Blind persons always need not be dependent on others to know which medicines they need to take at a particular time.

Advantages

  • This project will work on mobile phones only no need to buy any extra things.
  • This work is implemented using TalkBack for android and Voiceover for iOS which means blind people can easily access the application.
  • Easy to set up.
  • Open-source tools were used for this project.
  • Accessible to all devices irrespective of the OS.
  • Cheap and cost-efficient.

Disadvantages

  • It is very difficult to determine whether the currency is a fake one when it is an exact copy of the real currency.
  • For the medicine part, the image should be taken from any side where the name of the medicine is written.

Conclusion

This work shows how visually impaired people (blind persons) can protect themselves from getting cheated in terms of money transactions and also how to reduce the dependency on other people to take the right amount of medicine at the right time Whenever the blind person takes the image using his phone camera the image will be compared with the data set which is created.

After comparing the image if it gets the accuracy above the threshold value then it will give the spoken feedback to the person by saying the value of the currency Similarly in the case of medicine detection extract the name of the medicine and gives the spoken feedback as how many times that person needs to take the medicine, thus making this work as one of the assistants for a blind person.

Future Scope

• Include the data set of photos that contain a person’s images it can also be used to detect a person who has a blind person meets.
• It can also be used to track the blind person using GPS

Non Volatile Memory Technology Symposium

In our project non volatile memory technology symposium (OUM); we presented solution for the limitations facing by the modern day digital memory devices. Ovonics Unified Memory (OUM) is the most advanced technology which had unique abilities in proving High endurance, low power, nonvolatile RAM with high speed facilities.

Non Volatile Memory Technology Symposium

OUM is a non-volatile memory which stores memory by using chalcogenide materials. This material comes under VI elements of the modern periodic elements. It is an alloy consists of germanium, antimony, and tellurium used for the storage of data in memory devices.

Next generation memory devices:

Apart from many more memory technologies the semi conductor technologies are gaining enormous attention in providing reduced cost/bit storage devices. The mechanism in these OUM devices is a reversible structural phase-change mechanism from the amorphous phase to a crystalline phase in a thin-film chalcogenide alloy material. OUM technology implements the conventional CMOS process to form the thin-film memory element.

Data writing mechanism:

Primarily the alloy is heated up to its melting point and rapidly cooled for getting amorphous substance and to get crystalline substrate it get heated below the melting point and make to settle down the crystalline particles for 50ns, And then programmed the programming is done in OUM devices by electrically Altering the structure i.e. amorphous or crystalline, of a small volume of chalcogenide alloy. The memory state of the cell is determined by reading the resistance.

Automatic Room Lamp Abstract

Automatic Room Lamp

DESCRIPTION :

First, let us understand why to use Automatic room Lamp? Now-a-days we are going through lots of advertisments of saving electric energy. With the help of Automatic room Lamp we can save and reuse energy. Find the simple block diagram of Automatic room Lamp.

BLOCK DIAGRAM of Lamp
BLOCK DIAGRAM of Lamp

The above block diagram of Automatic room Lamp used to disables the room lamp at day time and enables at night night time. Light Dependant resister(LDR) is the key element of Automatic room Lamp.

Operation:

We need to fix LDR Circuit near to the window/door of home where it can receive maximum sunlight.At day time if we open the door, the resistance of LDR Circuit reduces and leads the transister to remain in cut-off state. So the relay doesnot energize enough,and lamp remains off.
At night time, the resistance of LDR Circuit becomes high and its makes the transistor from cut off state to conducting state. The relay becomes energize and makes lamp to switch on.

We need power supply too operate the following operation.
