  • Design and Fabrication of Clone Segway Personal Transporter
    ISSN: 0974-2115 www.jchps.com Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Design and fabrication of Clone Segway personal transporter Infanta Mary Priya.I1, B.K.Vinayagam1, M.R.Stalin John2 1Mechatronics Department, SRM University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. 2Mechanical Department, SRM University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. *Corresponding author: E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Clone Segway aims to create a low-cost but efficient device similar in function with its principal model but at a fraction of the cost by using simpler drive mechanisms, control equipment, and lesser aesthetics. This type of Segway is more economical and accessible to people in their day to day life. KEY WORDS: Fabrication, Clone Segway, Personal Transporter, Mechatronics 1. INTRODUCTION The transportation sector of today has always been an enigma for the various governments. The rise in the number of vehicles on the road as the years pass by continue to increase exponentially over passing time, which leads to more pollution as well as congestion on roads. Due to this naturally set off a chain reaction of events such as delay in the arrival of ambulances, more vehicular breakdowns, etc. to ease these type of congestions, a singular personal driver mobile platform or also known as the Segway was introduced. This is a two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery- powered electric vehicle invented by Dean Kamen. The advantages of the vehicle are that it produces zero emissions, zero turning radius and has a safe traveling speed. Literature Survey: From the paper by Susan A. Shaheen and Rachel Finsen (Shaheen, 2003) sheds light on how efficient transit station access is often limited and a more comprehensive approach is needed that offers more connectivity, flexibility, and potentially increase transit ridership.

  • BLUE SHIELD AWARD 2012 the Austrian National Committee of the Blue Shield Bestows the Blue Shield Award 2012 on Dr. Joris Kila
    BLUE SHIELD AWARD 2012 The Austrian National Committee of the Blue Shield bestows the Blue Shield Award 2012 on Dr. Joris Kila. On this occasion the Committee will host the symposium “Currents in Cultural Property Protection” that will take place on Wednesday, 17th of October 2012, starting at 2 p.m. in the Museum of Military History Vienna. Dr. Joris Kila is well known to the international expert community as one of the pioneers of the new academic field of Cultural Property Protection in the Event of Armed Conflict. Kila studied Art History and Classical Archaeology at the University of Leiden. After gaining first professional experiences at the renowned Smithsonian Institution and the Kunsthal Rotterdam he focused on the field of Egyptology, which lead him to Egypt multiple times in the 1990s. He participated in a series of projects in leading scientific, artistic or administrative positions: in light design at prominent sites like Karnak, Giza and Abu Simbel („sound and light shows“) as well as in museums in Cairo, al-Arish and others, at cultural heritage projects in Wadi Natrun and Abu Simbel, in the archaeological field projects at Berenike and in the Dahkleh oasis – in all these capacities working for the University of Leiden and the Erasmus-University of Rotterdam, for Philips and for the Netherlands Ministries of Cultural, Foreign and Economic Affairs. After the end of the wars in former Yugoslavia he switched his field of activity and moved on to Macedonia in the year 2001, where he again worked in museology and soon also in cultural property protection – an area of specialization within which he is still involved until today.

    GET INTO... Blue Shield The Blue Shield aims to be the cultural equivalent of the Red Cross. It was founded in 1996 by the four key international organisations in their domains, the International Federation of Library and Information Associations and Institutions (IFLA), the International Council on Archives (ICA), the International Council of Museums (ICOM), and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). Its roots, however, are in the years following the Second World War. Following the global destruction caused by the war, UNESCO adopted the 1954 Hague Convention which created rules to protect cultural goods during armed conflicts. This was the first of such international treaty and highlighted the concept of common heritage. The Blue Shield is the symbol used to identify cultural sites protected by this Convention. During the past years, we have continued to see our cultural heritage suffer damage and destruction. Natural or man-made disasters, wars and ethnic or religious conflicts represent a significant threat to the ability of future generations to enjoy the heritage we have today. It is therefore a necessity to inform, train and help cultural heritage experts and other stakeholders to safeguard and protect our memory in order to pass it on. The Blue Shield, both at the international and national levels, provide a means for achieving this. 1 How Does it Work? The Blue Shield takes a cross-sectoral approach to its work, including libraries, museums, monuments and sites, and archives. It works for the protection of the world’s cultural heritage by coordinating preparations to meet and respond to emergency situations as well as providing post-crisis support.

    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684, p-ISSN: 2320-334X PP 69-76 www.iosrjournals.org Development of Electric Personal Transporter Based on Lean to Steer Mechanism Nehal Ahmad1, Jawwad A.K. Lodhi2, Nafees P. Khan3 1, 2B.E(Mechanical) Anjuman College of Engg and Tech, Nagpur 3Asst. Prof. Dept. Of Mechanical Engineering, Anjuman College Of Engg and Tech, Nagpur ABSTRACT: A personal transporter is a device, which carries a person from one place to another place. This segment of vehicle may include conventional vehicle such as cars bikes mopeds, etc. another specific type of transportation device is a standup transporter such as Segway that has been introduced in the recent past. it is a very convenient electric mode of transportation that requires standing posture to drive the vehicle. Particularly Segway is an intelligent self-balanced vehicle which uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the motion of the driver so that he can accelerate, brake or steer the vehicle. It may cost anywhere between Rs.4-6 lakh which is its major disadvantage. In a country like India, where cost plays a major role in decision making a system as costly as this is bound not to succeed.So we want a design which can overcome the drawbacks of the existing design of a conventional vehicle and also it should take benefit of the standup transportation and it should also contain the features of an electric vehicle because the present situation is such that it demands those vehicle which causes less pollution as 73.0% of the CO2 emissions[1]is caused by roads vehicles.

Der letzte Akt in dieser Tragödie fand in zwei Szenen statt. Die erste Szene, noch etwas heiter und von einer gewissen Komik geprägt: Ein Reichsverweser, der fast den König spielt und ein Herrscher, dem man sein Land nicht zurückgeben will. Die zweite Szene ist ungleich düsterer: Lagerbildung, Putschversuch, Schüsse fallen. Der dazugehörige Epilog: Der Ex-Herrscher wird auf eine entlegene Insel gebracht und stirbt kurz darauf. Im vorliegenden Werk sollen die zwei Thronbesteigungsversuche König Karls IV. von Ungarn aus historischer und rechtlicher Sicht betrachtet werden. Da für das Verständnis der rechtlichen Vorgänge ein umfassender historischer Hintergrund unerläßlich erscheint, beschreibt der historische Teil detailliert die Vorgänge jener Jahre.
