(Library Information Services, CUI Lahore, 2010) SYED HAMZA ATHER; CIIT/SP15-MBO-008/LHR; MS. TAHIRA UMAIR; LHR TP 4750
Fast food referred as straightforwardly arranged processed foodstuff served in restaurants as a swift meal or to be taken away. It has become one of the major industries in the world due to rapid increase in popularity and number of customers. Fast Food can be prepared quickly that’s why getting popularity among customers. Fast food restaurants have become gradually more well-liked in Pakistan as well. Fast food business of Pakistan is the next leading as it accounts for 27% of its value added production and 16% of the total employment in modern segment with an estimated 180 million customers with rising incomes. Pakistan is the world’s 8th biggest marketplace when it comes to fast food and other foodstuff connected businesses (Sanober, 2014). On an average the fast food industry in Pakistan as well as the tendency of consumption behavior of the locals in the state is rising by almost 21% yearly, which predicts rapid expansion in fast food business. Pakistanis spend at least Rs.90 billion on dining out each year. (Farooq, 2012)

(Publisher COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2014) Muhammad Abdul Qyyum; FA10-BEC-041; Asim Laeeq Khan, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]; LHR TP 5920
Every atomic element ever in the history of the universe began as a H2 atom that had undergone nuclear fusion within a star. In other words, every one of us is a byproduct of H2. It is mainly used in the synthesis of nitric acid, which is used in fertilizers and explosives. There are many processes from which we can produce NH3 including Haber process, Cryogenic process, NH3 from natural gas, Electrolysis, Partial oxidation, Adiabatic reforming, Coal gasification. In this project, we have separate H2 from NH3 purge gas using Poly Sulfone Membrane Technology. In ammonia production, hydrogen and nitrogen are reacted at high pressure to form ammonia. Since the conversion per pass is not 100%, the reactor is operated in loop mode. In the processes, a purge stream from an ammonia synthesis loop, which purge stream contains NH3, is contacted at a super atmospheric pressure with the feed side of a separation membrane which exhibits selective permeation of each of hydrogen and ammonia as compared to the permeation of each of methane and argon. A total pressure differential across the membrane is maintained to provide a driving force for the permeation of H2 and NH3 through the membrane. A H2-rich permeating gas which contains ammonia is obtained on the permeate exit side of the membrane. T

(Publisher COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2017) By: M.Usama Zafar , Zeeshan Khalid; , DDP-SP13-BEE-032 , DDP-SP13-BEE-047; Mr. Hasnain Kashif, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]
The Smart Energy Harvesting using physical exercising machines which are feasible enough to harvest power seems to generate a new source of renewable energy. Biomechanical energy harvesting constitutes a clean, portable energy alternative to the fossil fuels currently being used. Biomechanical energy harvesting is a novel approach for producing energy for small devices. The energy expended in a typical workout at the gym is usually wasted in the mechanics of the equipment. This project will harness the mechanical energy of the machine and convert it to electrical energy using a generator based system. The exercise equipment will be attached to a generator. This creates a dc voltage which will be fed into a DC-DC converter and then sent to a battery where it can be stored for future use. This proposed system will help consuming our physical energy in some useful way.
Active Fault Tolerant Control Scheme For Dissimil
(COMSATS University Islamabad Lahore Campus, 2018) Ghazala Mushtaq, FA16-REE-016 Contributor(s): Dr. Mirza Tariq Hamayun, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]; LHR TP 7474
The increasing demand of Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) schemes in research is due to reliability and safety needed in industrial systems, especially in life critical systems such as spacecraft, passenger aircrafts, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), nuclear and chemical plants. FTC is expected to deal with fault or failure while maintaining the stability and desired performance. It is classified as Passive Fault Tolerant Control (PFTC) and Active Fault Tolerant Control (AFTC). Dissimilar Redundant Actuating Systems (DRAS) are mostly used in modern aircrafts to improve the reliability by evading the Common Mode/Common Cause (CM/CC) failure issue of similar redundant actuating systems. DRAS consists of two actuators i.e. Hydraulic Actuator (HA) and Electro Hydraulic Actuators (EHA). The DRAS are operated in two different modes namely active/active (A/A) mode and Active/Passive (A/P) mode. In A/P mode, the HA actively involve controlling the concerned control surface while the EHA and control surface act as a load to HA while in A/A mode, both actuators are engaged in controlling the control surface at the same time resulting in a force fighting exist between them that can even damage the control surface if the actuators are not synchronized. A lot of research has been carried out on DRAS in different operating modes and a significant contribution has been made to improve its stability. This thesis is about an AFTC scheme for modern aircrafts equipped with DRAS in A/A mode to affirm the reliable actuation and efficient control. The dynamics of both actuators of DRAS are considered that gives the desired control surface deflection. The force fighting issue of actuators being in A/A mode, is also addressed in this research. The effect of fault or failure of HA on system performance is analyzed and an Integral Sliding Mode Controller (ISMC) is designed which together with Control Allocation scheme (CA) improves the system performance at different fault severity level.

Reliability and cost-effectiveness are the main reasons behind the extensive use of induction machines in industry. However, major drawback of Induction machine is that they draw reactive power. Several techniques were adopted in past in order to improve the performance of Induction machine. In recent years, Rectifiers and Inverters were introduced and gained a lot of attention and helped in improving the Dynamic performance and Power Factor of an Induction machines. In this project, a Converter-based circuit is designed and attached with an Induction machine in order to explore the Dynamic performance and to improve the Power Factor of machine. A model is designed in SIMULINK and its performance is judged. Then an experiment is conducted by implementing the same model on induction machine. Different parameters are observed like efficiency, Power Factor and Dynamic performance of Induction machine (which includes starting, loading, load changing, capacitor voltage, rotor current, stator current and speed). However, simulated and experimental results should showcase an agreement. Moreover, the above-implemented technique is compared with previous Power Factor improvement techniques, which were adopted in past in order to improve the performance of Induction machines.

Currently the most commonly used storage technology for photovoltaic application (PV) are batteries. The problem is that PV system are not an ideal source for charging batteries. As the output of the PV is not constant, it vary according to the sun position. So, a battery management system (BMS) is required. The main aim of BMS is to optimize the use of battery and prolong the life of a battery in order to making the overall system more reliable and cost effective. Many monitoring techniques are used to monitor the battery state of charge, temperature, power, voltage and charging/discharging of current. For monitoring purpose, digital and analog sensors with microcontrollers are used. The battery information and the obtained results explaining the main characteristics of the system are presented by the LCD screen. The control strategy employed on electrical properties of Dry cell/Acid regulated batteries by the battery management system (BMS) of a PV application. This project also covers a cost effective Battery Testing System (BTS) which will provide constant charging and discharging of current, voltage and power simultaneously. Moreover, a Dc to Dc boost converter, lab view program and an MPPT algorithm will also be designed for improving the charging and discharging of the battery.

As there is sudden increase of traffic on road due to the utilization of personal cars. This sudden increase in traffic results in traffic congestion because traffic signal is working without any vehicle density calculations. The proposed system work on image processing techniques to solve this problem. It performs the calculation of vehicles during night time to overcome the traffic congestion. System performs the identification of vehicles and in this way control the traffic density. Objects are identified and counted using some image pre-processing and blob detection techniques. This suggests the requirement of an intelligent video closed-circuit television providing continuous 24–hour observation, replacing the standard ineffective systems. The proposed work can lead to an efficient signalling system and provides a basis of real time implementation of pc vision technology in real time. Moreover, the proposed work introduces new schemes to increase the efficiency of the traffic signalling system. This paper presents an automatic vision primarily based traffic management system that is capable to observe and track vehicles from a video. Simulation results have shown that the article Classification module manages to attain associate accuracy of 91.14% for vehicle detection. Moreover, the system manages to successfully track the objects 91% of the time below no occlusion and 91.14% in presence of occlusion.

To Design Hybrid AC-DC Droop Controller For Load
(Publisher COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2019) Ahsan Nadeem,; FA15-REE-001; Dr. Mirza Tariq Hamayun, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]; LHR TP 6849
In the 21st century there are several issues with the current electrical power system, such as production of green house gasses and losses (transmission line and conversion losses) that reduced the efficiency of power system. Currently, DC load demand of applications, such as telecom exchange networking system and electric vehicles (EVs) are increasing. In conventional power system, these loads are connected to main grid through converters. Moreover, diesel generators based backup solutions for telecom exchanges have several disadvantages, such as non-reliable starting of generator in cold weather conditions, maintenance of the generator, and exhaustive fumes. Furthermore, in recent times the use of EVs is increasing rapidly and now work place required to have own EV fast charging docking stations; therefore, in our simulation we consider the DC load of employees EVs along with the DC load of telecom exchange. A hybrid AC-DC micro-grid based on distributed generations is proposed as a suitable solution to reduce the multiple reverse conversions within the telecom exchange. For hybrid AC-DC micro-grid, we develop a droop controlled scheme that manage the power ﬂow between AC and DC electrical networks by enforcing the normalized value of frequency equal to the normalized value of voltage of DC micro-grid. The controller provides, need based power sharing between AC and DC grids and enhance operational reliability of the network. The hybrid AC-DC micro-grid presented in this report is an effective solution to eliminate the excessive voltage conversion problem of telecom exchanges along with an efficient fast charging system for the EVs.

The trend of using robots as waiters in restaurants is increasing because of the shortage of manpower and high demand of salaries by the waiters, which has become problematic for the owners of restaurants. The technology is replacing manual work force more efficiently. The aim of the project is to develop a Restaurant Serving System (RSS) framework to automate the delivery of food for local restaurants with commercial applications. Traditionally the serving systems in China, India, Sri Lanka and other countries uses robots to deliver food by simple line following techniques and Human waiters/managers to take order form customers. However, this project improves the performance of RSS by dividing into two parts. First, client-server communication (each table provided by android tablet for the customers to place their order and the order details send to kitchen and manager via server). Second, Table number is assigned to serving robot via android application and the robot follow the user’s pre-defined path for different tables and the serving robot have the capability to detect the obstacle in the path. Restaurant Serving System is intended with basic behaviour of obstacle detection and target seeking in dynamic environments using ultrasonic sensors for the efficient delivery of food and to reach the destination by following user’s pre-defined path by implementing the speed-time algorithm with the help of speed sensors. RSS will have graphical user interface system which allows the user to specify food tastes that are of their interest, approximated budget for each person and approximated delivery time. And order details of customer will transfer to kitchen (chef) for the preparation of food. Currently there is no such integrated RSS is available in Pakistan.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system is a built up geophysical system. The technique uses radio waves to test "the ground" which implies on any low loss dielectric material. In starting, GPR was basically associated with trademark geologic materials. GPR is similarly very much connected to a large group of materials, for example, wood, cement, and asphalt. The detection under collapsed is a developing field of GPR. In the recent years, mechanical arrangements and dealing with methodologies have been made to improve location precision and accelerate limitation. GPR can be helpful to handle such crises. Improvement in the area of GPR has been considered in this report. All things were considered for doing this. Earthquake and fallen structures are the circumstances that need different GPR applications. In the past it was handled by preparing radargram, while the variation in the Doppler frequency was introduces by physical movements of trapped, for instance, respiration. The principle goal of this task is to rescue more & more number of individuals from the adverse condition. Thus, GPR used to differentiate between the couple of objects on the same elevation at different distance and also identify and locate a human body and therefore possibly save number of lives and reduced number of deaths. For the matching of antenna exponential tapering is done so that the antenna is matched to the feed and better return loss is achieved. The return loss is less from -10dB and the frequency band for the prototype is 0.5GHz to 1.5GHz. For avoiding the high cost issues and to make portable device, worked on the miniaturization of helical antenna. The better results are found between the range of 0.75GHz to 1.3GHz. Also select the modulator (function generator) that gives input to VCO on 10 vpp for saw tooth, triangular and sinusoidal waveforms. It operates from 1Hz to 1MHz.
Neural Network Based Gesture Identification System
(COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus Library Information Services, CUI Lahore, 2020) By: Zoolnurain , Anas Idrees , Ali Raza, Contributor; FA15-EEE-033 , FA15-EEE-032 , FA15-EEE-002; Muhammad Usman Rafique,; LHR TP 5864
Physically disabled individuals like deaf, mute and patients suffering from various disabilities require an effective communication device to make them independent. Traditionally flex sensors-based gloves have been used to identify the gestures of Sign languages. Current work is limited to only one glove used for capturing the gesture. ,Gesture recognition in the 3D environment has been a challenging task. The problem can be solved using Machine Learning techniques to separate the true gesture from the false gesture. Therefore, the aim of this project is to develop a portable universal communication device to assist patients with disabilities and provide them with better standards of living. One of the goals of this project is to implement and compare the performance of Neural networks to identify the true gesture. The system will use sign language (gestures identification from flex sensors) to communicate with people around them. The data will then be analysed in Matlab based machine learning environment to identify the performance of Machine learning algorithms. This proposal will also look into the feasibility of implementing machine learning algorithms in Android phones for gesture recognition.

In the previous decades, robotic systems have been used for multiple purposes and have gained the popularity they deserve. Development in robotic technology has thus now made it possible to perform tasks that previously could not have been performed without human interference. The wireless bomb disposal robot is one such major example which will be used for defense purposes in order to prevent bomb blasts and other terrorist activities. In this project we propose a wireless bomb disposal robot which would use a wireless system at the user end to control the robot. The key features of this robot include a robotic arm, a wireless camera, a dexterous gripper allowing the removal of explosives and a base. Even though far from perfect, by using this robot, we can prevent risking life of the human responsible for bomb disposal. Thus introducing a safer and effective alternative for disposing explosives in order to save lives of common people.
