An intelligent hybrid project is developed for assisting the partially impaired and physically challenged people. The Fall Detection is proposed to ensure the safety of these people. Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) sensors are attached to the footwear. For each in a pair of shoes four FSR sensors are attached at the precise locations in the shoe. In this method, the user’s pressure from the specified points is calculated in real time using an integrated force sensory system, which comprises FSR sensors in the shoe. When the pressure from these specified points cross the boundary limit of the specified safety value, i.e., the maximum pressure, it is assessed that the user is going to fall down. The data retrieved from these FSR sensors is used for computing the gaiting analysis. We have used Arduino microcontrollers for data collection from the pair of shoes incorporated with sensors. The data gathered here is transmitted via Bluetooth protocol to the core FPGA where the main Gaiting Analysis is performed and fall detection is achieved here. The novelty in this paper is we have used the FPGA board for Fall Detection because it has high performance, less power consumption and parallel processing support. So using FPGA is the best option in this project. This project can be broadly applied across Healthcare and Military applications. The detected fall can be further improved and it can be prevented by Fall Prevention prototypes. In this study, we have successfully achieved the desired results, and all the proposed methods were finally verified through simulations and experiments.

With the development of optoelectronic information technology, high-performance optical systems require an increasingly higher surface accuracy of optical mirrors. The fast tool servo (FTS) based on the piezoelectric actuator is widely used in the compensation machining of high-precision optical mirrors. However, with the low natural frequency of mechanical structures, hysteresis of the piezoelectric actuators, and phase delay of the control systems, conventional FTS systems face problems such as a low working frequency and a large tracking error. This study presents a method for the design of a high-performance FTS system. First, a flexure hinge servo turret with a high natural frequency was designed through multi-objective optimization and finite element simulations. Subsequently, a composite control algorithm was proposed, targeting the problems of hysteresis and phase delay. The modified Prandtl–Ishlinskii inverse hysteresis model was used to overcome the hysteresis effect and a zero-phase error tracker was designed to reduce the phase error. The experimental results reveal that the tracking error of the designed FTS system was <10% in the full frequency range (0–1000 Hz).

A double focusing magnetic spectrometer has been constructed for use with a field emission electron gun scanning microscope in order to study the electron energy loss mechanism in thin specimens. It is of the uniform field sector type with curved pole pieces. The shape of the pole pieces is determined by requiring that all particles be focused to a point at the image slit (point 1). The resultant shape gives perfect focusing in the median plane (Fig. 1) and first order focusing in the vertical plane (Fig. 2).

One of the most important requirements for a high-performance EM, especially an analytical EM using a fine beam probe, is to prevent specimen contamination by providing a clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen. However, in almost all commercial EMs, the pressure in the vicinity of the specimen under observation is usually more than ten times higher than the pressure measured at the punping line. The EM column inevitably requires the use of greased Viton O-rings for fine movement, and specimens and films need to be exchanged frequently and several attachments may also be exchanged. For these reasons, a high speed pumping system, as well as a clean vacuum system, is now required. A newly developed electron microscope, the JEM-100CX features clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen, realized by the use of a CASCADE type diffusion pump system which has been essentially improved over its predeces- sorD employed on the JEM-100C.
