The paper presents a compact AC-AC single phase voltage regulator based on Impedance network. The proposed topology has ability to perform buck and boost operation in a single stage .The circuit is simple, highly efficient and more importantly reduced manufacturing cost due to its minimal number of active and passive components. The Impedance network has dual function of boosting and filtering. The proposed topology employs two bidirectional switches operating at high frequency PWM pulses. The high frequency switching reduces the size of the Impedance network. The gain of the system is controlled by controlling the duty cycle of the bidirectional switches. The operating mechanism of the proposed topology along with simulation and experimental results are presented.

In this paper the authors have explained the development of robotic vehicle prepared by them, which operates autonomously and is not controlled by the users, except for selection of modes. The different modes of the automated vehicle are line following, object following and object avoidance with alternate trajectory determination. The complete robotic assembly is mounted on a chassis comprising of Arduino Uno, Servo motors, HC-SRO4 (Ultrasonic sensor), DC motors (Geared), L293D Motor Driver, IR proximity sensors, Voltage Regulator along with castor wheel and two normal wheels.

Abstract KANTHAL 70 alloy was designed to provide a high positive temperature coefficient to electrical resistance comparable with that of pure nickel; however, it has much higher electrical resistivity than pure nickel. This makes it useful as a voltage regulator when placed in series with another electrical device across a fluctuating voltage source. Kanthal 70 has a maximum recommended operating temperature of 600 C and is used widely in resistance thermometers and in various appliance and automotive applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: Ni-270. Producer or source: The Kanthal Corporation.
