Our College student gets her cellphone to detect counterfeit notes....!!

Neha wins 1 lakh prize at Innovation Challenge...!! organised recently by Schneider Electric India Private Limited.

NEHA, our college 7th sem E.C dept. has developed a mechanism using which a cellphone can double up as a counterfeit note detector. Her project won the Rs 1 lakh prize at the Innovation Challenge, organised recently by Schneider Electric India Private Limited, where she had competed with 150 entries from engineering colleges across the country.

She says, “The increasing number of counterfeit notes in the country prompted me to develop this device. A trained eye can detect a fake note, but not the common man.”

Hence, her aim was to empower the common man with a easily available device to help him detect fake notes. That’s why she decided to use a mobile phone for her project.

THE GROUNDWORK
Neha started off seven months ago.
“I read a number of surveys by the Intelligence Bureau on the circulation of fake notes...features of currency notes, security features, including water markings and magnetic ink” . The most important tips came from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). “In October, the bank held an exhibition, where officials discussed various features of currency notes and how they are printed,” she said.
Neha took the opportunity to ask the officials about fake notes. Then, she faced a peculiar problem she wasn’t allowed to touch fake currency, as it is against the rules. “But, after much persuasion, I got to at least see the notes,” she recalls.

REAL vs FAKE
The research helped. She came to know the differences between genuine and fake currency.

1. If you hold a note against light, you will see the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi. Sophisticated fakes too will have the portrait, but it will not be as prominent as in a genuine note.

2. All notes, have water markings. These markings are made with magnetic ink, which counterfeit notes may or may not have.
3. A genuine note will glow when held in ultraviolet light, but not a fake note.





Using these points, Neha modified her phone to detect fake notes. “The modifications do not disturb any of the normal functions of the cellphone,” she says. The only requirement is that the cellphone should have the camera feature. However, she refused to reveal the specifics.

But, it was good enough to impress the judges at the Innovation Challenge where the Electronics & Communication Engineering student represented her college. She is hoping that some mobile phone company will pick up her invention. “I have done 60 per cent of the work. For the rest, which includes installing and design modification, I want a cellphone firm to endorse the software,” she says.

She is preparing for her VIIth semester exams.
She wants to pursue higher studies in one of the IITs.

WE WISH YOU GOOD LUCK....!!

Well this proves one thing for sure...
One should not be a NIE, JCE or R.V to be at the frontline... as a matter of fact

SACH A RELENTLESS TEMPTATION




A lot has changed over the past 20 years in India, as well as in the global perspective.
Transistors were replaced by T.V. and now we are in the bluetooth era.
Politics has become worse from bad and is taking uglier proportions.
India has become a major economy and is coming on par with USA and UK.

As far as Cricket is concerned, there has been a perceptible change. thanks to the great SachinTendulkar. With the boom of the television in the early 90s and the entry of a dimunitive champion took the game to altogether different level.
GOD was fed up with the violence, turbulence taking place across the world. So he thought he shud come in the form of a human and give full fledged entertainment to millions of people.
It was on November 15 1989 that this came to fore. A 16yr old prodigy stepped his foot on the soil of archrivals Pakistan at Karachi. He was welcomed to cricket by the deadly pace of waqar younis, witty akram and the guile of abdul qadir.This only helped sachin to go from strength to strength and dominate any kind of bowling.
He has had the better of bowling greats like akram,younis,mcgrath,donald,shane warne to mention a few.He has excelled in all the conditions and all kinds of pitches(seaming tracks in England, spin friendly tracks in the subcontinent and bouncy pitches in South Africa and Australia.) He has his best performances against the best team over last 15 yrs Australia who were invincibles. That is the hallmark of this great man.
His stats speaks volumes of his achievments.He is just an innings away 30,000 international runs.He has 87 centuries till now and a proud owner of numerous such records in a career spanning 20 years.
His batting is grace personified.In short poetry in motion.He was referred to as closest to batting perfection by another legend sunil gavaskar.

Sachin started his career as a child prodigy and is now a global icon.His conduct of the field is exemplary.He is a calm,shy,down to earth and a humble person.He has maintained an ultra clean image which makes him the most loved, respected and the most adored sportperson.
He is the only cricketer in the modern times to be included in Sir Don Bradman's dream team and was hailed by the don as the only person who came closest to him in batting.
Sachin was rated as the all time greatest odi batsman and 2nd best in tests by wisden in 2002.
He has recieved many awards like padmashri, padmavibhushan,arjuna award,Rajiv Gandhi khel Ratna award.He has also been recommended for Bharat Ratna and Nighthood which he truly deserves. He is the first indian sportsman to be immortalized in madame tussauds.

Sachin becomes the first cricketer to complete 20 years of international cricket and set such high standards for ordinary mortals to emulate a few.
After 20 years, he still has the exuberence of youth.He is still a force to reckon with and a hard nut to crack for opposition teams.
Having said that there is little left for sachin to conquer in cricket.

We may get another lara, another ponting......but Sachin is once in a lifetime person,cricketer.
Thanks sachin for everything you hav provided.We hav been lucky enough and privileged to savour most of ur masterpieces. Keep going for many years to come......

All the Best.

FIELD VISITS & COURSES BY VVIET CIVIL DEPT.

A MEMORABLE JOURNEY TO WORLD OF ROCKS

It was our 3rd semester. On Saturday, October 13th 2007 as planned earlier, only eighteen students were assembled in suburb bus stand along with Geology Prof.Dr.shekar at 7.45am.the bus to srirangapatna started at 8:10am.By the time we reached Srirangapatna it was 8:50am.From there started our journey with rocks along with up’s and downs in valleys.
From srirangapatna we continued our journey towards Karighatta by walk. The stretch from srirangapatna to Karighatta is around 2.5 to 3kms.On the way we saw the river cauvery and one of the oldest bridge constructed across by Lord Wellesley. Also we observed some igneous intrusion called Dyke which is basic in nature. We also got an opportunity to observe the recent bridges constructed across Cauvery & Lokapavani River. Further we observe few “aalemane” where raw sugarcane are crushed and processed to manufactured jaggery.We also noticed huge heaps of crushed sugarcane waste which is useful in manufacture of paper in paper industries, but people there use this waste for burning which is very essential in the manufacture of jaggery.on the road side on the way to karrighatta we also observed some igneous rocks.We also observed the flow of river lokapavani which is a tributary of river cauvery.





After observing all these we reached karighatta at around 9:30am there we met Dr.G.S.Gopalkrishna & Dr.M.A.Shankar who are professors at Departement of studies in Geology,Manasagangothri,and university of Mysore. They were friends of our sir. Our Sir introduced them to us & requested them to brief about the area. it is as follows.



Karighatta is one of the oldest rocky hills in south India,which could be considered very much for geological studies. these rocks come under granite – green stone belt. The rock types are meta volcanics which were deposited in the ocean and later metamorphosed. The Karighhatta has housed variety of rocks both igneous & metamorphic.Igneous rocks are represented by syenite porphyry, diorite porphyry & some basic dykes. The Metamorphic. Igneous rocks are represented by schist’s & quartzite’s.The hill consists of more number of Fuchsite Quartzite rocks, which is schist of mica. schist’s are a kind of crystalline metamorphic rocks that splits easily in to layers. It is usually composed mainly of mica. The whole hill is a natural wonder. They also briefed about the ages of rocks which are classified as zoic rocks and Azoic rocks. Zoic rocks means rocks formed when there was life on earth. And Azoic rocks means rocks formed when there was no life on earth. One of the interesting factors about karighatta hills is that belongs ARCHEAN age i.e.
2700million years old or 2.7billion years old!



After having detailed information from the scholars we had a light breakfast near the canal and started to go up towards the top of the hill. While going sir showed and gave explanation of strike and dip, joints and its varieties,small later intrustions etc.We also observed lime concords which are generally formed in basic rocks. When we went to the top of the hill we observed huge Fuchsite Quartzite rocks striking in north- east and south-west directrions with adip of 65-70degrees. Little upward we got milky quartz,Amphibolites rocks(hard rock )having Gneissic bands, Granites which are metamorphosed give rise to Gneisses having alternate black and white strips,porphyritic textured rocks.



After complete observation of one hill, we had darshan of lord srinivasa. We were exhausted only for one hill; of course we were due to visit 2 more hills just opposite to temple. Even the water carried by us was exhausted. There was some scouts and guides camp, we took water from them. After relaxing for some time we started climb another hill which is opposite to temple. During this traverse we observed and collected many rock types such as Syenite porphyry, Diorite porphery, Fuchsite Quartzite rocks for our department. Thus finished our tired some field work. We had nice snaps along with friends.



We came down the hill by steps to canal played well with water and had a nice sharing lunch. Then bus arrived at 3.50pm and we were in Mysore 4.40pm.hen I reached my home it was 5.30pm with lots of tiredness having a sound sleep with a nice pain and sweet memories of Karighatta.

THE ROYAL EMPIRE



Do you know the secrets of earth that contains many rocks, minerals and many more present inside it, which we come across our daily life? Can you count? I know you will be in dilemma to answer this. But we were astonished to see a wonderful world of rocks and minerals which comprises the whole Earth! Yes its purely the universe of rocks, minerals and fossils, through which we know the Earth today. Many Royal dynasties have ruled over the Earth for many years and at last had been vanished along with time. But do you know the royal dynasty ruling the earth for many years till today and is dated for the whole future until the end of the world! Let me describe you this Rock Empire!



It was hot afternoon of Friday February 8, 2008. As planned earlier & had got permission from our Principal to visit Department of Studies in Geology, Manasagangothri, University of Mysore which will be helpful for our studies as we were in 4th sem. Hence all students were assembled in college. We departed from college bus along with Geology Prof. Dr. Shekar at 12:45 pm. We reached University campus by 1:10 pm.



We were allowed to see the Geology Museums there around 1:20 pm. Sir introduced us one of the resource person in geology Mr.Devraj inside the museum, who was expert in explaining the things to us. We had split ourselves into two groups. One group went to Museum-1 and the other to Museum-2. Let us first know about Museum-1.



DETAILS OF MUSEUM-1
As we were inside, really we were in a different world. At first Mr. Devraj started to give description. There were nearly 16 types of rocks arranged in a line consisting of black, red, pink- Granites, Dolerite, Barite, Polishing stones, Chamundi granite, Gneiss, Fuchsite & many other types. Vermicolite,Muscovite mica, Biotite mica, Fossils, Sea rocks like Shells, remains of some sea animals like fish, starfish, crabs, etc., a chart containing most primitive types of fossils were also present. We also had Fuchsite-Quartzite, Syenite porphyry, Diorite porphyry, Chalcopyrite, Garnet Tourmaline, Schist, Dolomite, Quartzite, Leptimite, Quartz veins, Granite, Labrodonite and many more.



There was a big chart having “Life through Ages”. We saw the description of man's life in it. It had geological divisions of man's life along with its lifetime, vegetation etc. The geological divisions are namely: Holocene, Pleistocene, Pliocene, Miocene, Oligocene, Eocene, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, Permian, Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, Cambrian & Pre-Cambrian. Here Pre-Cambrian is the first and Holocene is the last in which we are presently living.



Then he explained us about some of the important minerals like Albite- rich in calcium, Anorthite- rich in sodium, Bytnowite- contains 30 to 50% silica, Labrodonite- Here we can see the change of colours. Shales, Leptinites, Granites, Amygdaloidal basalt, Chlorite Schist, Rocks from Andaman Islands, models of ancient man, Fossil of a bird, A detailed description of Evolution of Man, Stratigraphic column having geological divisions of man's life along with its lifetime at different regions in both Kannada & English were also present. It was very nice to see but hard to remember all the names & their properties!



DETAILS OF MUSEUM-2
We entered the Museum-2. There were so many varieties of Zeolite samples from Pune namely Apophyllite, Pink-Apophyllite, Apophyllite+Quartzite, Zeolite on basalt, Natrolite and different types of calcites to see. He said that calcite gives effervescence with HCl. It is Rhombohedral crystal system. Many varieties of Quartz were present. Quartz is a SiO2 mineral obtained due to tremendous volcanic activities. Some of its varieties are Agate, Jasper, Zebra agate, Flint, Chalcedony, Opal, Amethystine Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Rock crystal, Chert, Blue Quartz, Milky Quartz, Blood stone and many more. Then we saw Graphite, Porphyritic rocks, Calcite, Dolomite, Microcline, Serpentine, Feldspars, Kyanites, Termolites & Galena, which is a heavy mineral due to its specific gravity. 3D models of different crystal systems, 2D models of different types of Folds & Faults, Crystal models made of glass were also present.



Then we had a look at a big chart namely “Regional Lithostratigraphic Classification of Kaladgi, Badami”. It was having details of different rocks present in that region. Some of them were Breccia, Dolomite, Argillite, Limestone, Quartzarenite, Conglomerate etc. They had attached the rock sample found in that region against the name of each rock.



We were greatly excited when we saw Granites, Garnets, Natrolites, sulphur-yellow in colour, Sapphire-blue, that too along with pure Diamonds & Gold in capsules which were enclosed in a large case! Then we were able to see Asbestos, Ruby, many Metamorphic rocks like Schists and other varieties, Sulphide ore, Iron ores like Pyrites, Chalcopyrites, Hematite, Magnesite, etc., Cinnabar, Vermiculites, Amythites, Ammonites, Fuchsite-Quartzite & Diorite porphyry of Karighatta, varieties of Basalts, many minerals & ores of foreign & samples of mud and clay.
Thus we finished visiting both the museums.





We were out with wonders of rocks & minerals around 2:30 pm. We also saw a huge model of Dinosaur, Fossil rocks from St. Mary's Island and other different rocks outside the museum. The campus is very huge covering several kilometers. The Geology Department building was inaugurated in 1961 A.D. Then we had our lunch. We were back to college by our college bus that arrived at 3:30 pm and reached at 3:50 pm having all those memorable sights.
GEOLOGY – ILLUMINATES THE PAST, SUSTAINS THE PRESENT & PROMOTES THE FUTURE.


*****************************************************************************************


A VISIT TO RMC, K.E.R.S. & K.R.S.
It was Thursday, November 13th 2008. As planned earlier & had got permission from our Principal, BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF INDIA (BAI) – SHILPI WING had arranged a visit to Ultratech Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) Plant, Karnataka Engineering Research Station (K.E.R.S.) and Krishna Raja Sagara Dam (K.R.S.). Hence, all the students of 7th semester Civil Engg students who were in 5th sem then were assembled in college. We departed from college by our college bus along with 30 students, Lecturer Sri Y.R.Suresh, who is also the SHILPI coordinator of our college, Prof. R.G.C.Shekar and Lecturer Miss J.C.Vanitha at 9 am. Our educational excursion started. At first we started to Ultratech Ready Mix Concrete Plant.



Ultratech Ready Mix Concrete Plant:



By 9:30 am we reached the RMC plant. This is situated at Belagola Industrial area, Metagalli, Mysore. The office bearers of BAI consisting of Sri Naidhruva (SHILPI coordinator of Mysore centre), Sri Gurushantappa & Sri Raghunath along with their photographer Mr. Dinesh had arrived to the plant. There Mr. Naidhruva & Mr. Gurushantappa welcomed all and introduced the manager of RMC, Mr. Shashikumar and Quality incharge officer Mr. Ashok to all of us. Mr. Shashikumar & Mr. Ashok took us to Material Testing Unit and RMC batching plant and explained various aspects of RMC, its controlling unit & working of batch plant. Then Mr. Naidhruva thanked the Ultratech RMC Unit on behalf of us for giving such knowledgable information. At 11:15 am we departed from RMC to Karnataka Engineering Research Station.



Karnataka Engineering Research Station (K.E.R.S.):



We arrived to KERS by 11:30 am. KERS was constructed in 1944 A.D. There Mr. Naidhruva introduced the Director of KERS, Mr. Basavaraj Koti. Then we were taken to the concrete lab. There Mr. Basavaraj Koti introduced Sri K.R.Sathyanarayana, Assistant Research Engineer, to us. I knew him from past 5 months as I had attended his wonderful lecture series on “Quality aspects of Concrete” at Institute of Engineers. In KERS, he explained us about Non Destructive Test (NDT) on concrete like Blaine's Air Permeability test, Ultrasonic pulse velocity test. We also saw Building material testing lab with lots of equipments. We couldn't visit other laboratories due to shortage of time. At 12:45 pm, we left KERS and were taken to KRS dam.



Krishna Raja Sagara Dam (K.R.S.):



We arrived at KRS dam by 12:55 pm. This dam was constructed from 1911 AD to 1931 AD across the river Kaveri under the guidance of Sir. M.Vishveshvaraya. It is said that 10,000 people were working each day in the dam site during its construction! Totally 9.6 crores were spent on this. All financial help was provided by the then Maharaja Krishna Raja Wodeyar. Due to his sincere effort, now it has become a life giving river for many districts in Karnataka. This was constructed using Surkhi mortar (burnt lime+clay), size stone masonry is done and rubbles are filled. Its length is 2.621 km, height is 130 ft and width is 111 ft. Its maximum flood discharge is 2.19 lakh cusecs. Total number of sluice gates are 173. Here, Sri Natesh and Sri Honnaraj provided all these information to us. This dam has completed its 75 years.
Then we were allowed to go dowm the dam to see the sluice gates. We took photographs with our friends and faculty and had great fun in water. We departed from the dam by 1:45 pm and went to Hydraulic Model Studies Division of KERS. Here Mr. Swaminath told the importance of model studies and he also explained us about Sea Wall Structures.



After this, we had lunch of bisibelebath, curd rice and sweet as jilebi at Brindhavan Gardens. Food was very nice. We thank our Prof. Shekar and photographer Mr. Dinesh who took many snaps of nature, dam and our group photos. We left the garden by 3:30 pm and then visited Vishveshvaraya Channel (VC) and learnt its significance.
We thank BAI-SHILPI and our College for arranging such an educational programme for us. We left to Mysore City bus stand by 4:30 pm and reached by 5:05 pm. I went back home by 5:45 pm with all these wonderful sweet memories of KRS and KERS.

IS THIS THE END OF HUMANITY....? REALLY WORST VIDEO EVER SEEN...

When undercover investigators made their way onto Chinese fur farms recently, they found that many animals are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to cut the skin and fur from an animal's leg, the free limbs kick and writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle too hard to allow a clean cut. When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals' hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera.

DON'T TAKE EXTREME STEPS JUST AFRAIDING FOR BACKS.

What's the SHIT thing you are doing juniors.. this is really bad..

COMMITING SUICIDE JUST BECAUSE OF ONE BACK IS REALLY VERY BAD.


Being a PLACEMENT SECRETARY i have interacted with many company HR'S.

Before telling all these i will make u sure that i too had many backs in first year second year

and now also in final year.

But i'm not afraid of it. I have continued to be the same as i was before.
Our marks wont count here just its a gimmik to cut down the number of students that they want
to take interview. Just to filter thats it.

Say if u are having back or u have got detain don worry.
Go to your soul and ask yourself there will be something hidden in you through which u can come
up.

Don thing that u have failed just because u have not written well in the exam.
There are some SUVAR'S i learnt from some people that the correction process will be carried
out by someone in most of the times who's not having any idea about the subject itself. Think
that your paper has went to some people like that and just forget about it.

At last what can happen friends.

1) Parents will scold u.
- remedy tell your parents i'm sorry something like this happend i will study well and
clear it in next time itself
- parents may scold u for the first time second time or say 4 days after that they only

will become silent if u are silent.

2) Your friends may change the character about u. They may stop talking to u or messaging u or
there voice level and seeing level may change(self experience now also for me)

- what i will do for them ..? i just think that suvars u are not having that much
rights to tease me or see me in degraded nature. I just become restraint or away from such
friends. I will tell u wont u have anyone friend who knows your pulse and just come to u when
such a thing happens. Be with him/her itself.

3) Teachers may take our your shape in the class when ur caught talking or laughing in class.

- Tell urself that first of all u don know how to teach in the class itself what rights
do u have to tease me infront of all students.
Don care about these lecturers for these things.

4) SAY IF SHIT THING HAPPENS THAT U COMMIT SUICIDE.. WHAT DO U ACHIEVE...?

Do u think that u are happy that u died...? What did u achieve in your life then...?
Have u ever thought about ur parents that they will be happy that there son or daughter has
left them...? Your home will become HELL.. u wont commit suicide.. u are murdering your parents & your loved ones everyday.

for girls: when your mother goes to any function or somewhere if she sees someone similar to u
she will weep she cant be there itself for a single minute. your memories will be in her eyes
forever pattern matching...

My neighbour sister had commited suicide one year back. I see her parents everyday. .Y parents
though i'm not connected to there family in any of the relations.. I only will get her memories
if i see her gadi being driven by her brother now..

many times all there family members come to us and weep telling stories about her daughter we have condoled them many times. its too hard to forget someone so easily.

pls do not take such extreme steps in future don worry for backs and all the education system
in india is like that and especially VTU..


PUT FOR REVAL GET THE ZEROX COPY OF THE ANSWER BOOKLET.. IF IT DOESN'T GET CLEARED WITH REVAL .. THERE IS ANOTHER OPTION FOR CHALLENGE REVAL.. PUT FOR IT.. IT WILL DEFINITELY GET CLEARED WITH THAT..

WE HAVE SO MANY OPTIONS TO GET IT CLEARED.. IF IN WORST CASE DIDN'T CLEARED MEANS WRITE IT NEXT TIME.. YEN TALE HOGUTTA..? THOSE WHO TEASE OR DEGRADE WONT COME TO US IN FUTURE ITS U .. THAT WILL BE ALWAYS THE SAME.. OK..

THANKS FOR READING..I HOPE U GOT IT RIGHT.. I HAVE WRITTEN MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS POST.. THANK U..


AND LET YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE.

UR'S FOREVER G.P
