Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a product development process that encompasses a sheer amount of data gathered from customers through several market research techniques like personal interview, focus groups, surveys, video conferencing etc. This massive, unsorted and unstructured data is required to be transformed into a limited number of structured information to represent the actual 'Customer Needs'. However the process is tedious and time consuming and cannot be dealt with manually. In order to address these issues, this paper proposes a futuristic software framework based on an Affinity Process. The paper begins with the topic introduction and outlines the QFD process. The paper then describes the Affinity Process, builds the data structure and then makes an attempt to build the proposed framework using tools Visual Basic (VB) and MS-Access. The proposed framework is developed as a part of QFD software and it is anticipated that when completely developed, it would act as a vital component of QFD software.Keywords

Mobile ad hoc networks are this newly evolved networking concept primarily due to the increase in use of wireless technology for communication. But the MANET concept faces issues over resource sharing, volatility of the network and erroneous data transmission. Thus a new cross layer design approach is being proposed where service discovery and routing functions are coupled for optimization. Congestion avoidance adopted due to the noise resulting from interference rather than from actual congestion or packet loss results in low bandwidth utilization. The new approach adopted in this paper will try and overcome these issues by sharing the information among various levels and minimizing data retransmissions and losses by making appropriate responses for the events.Keywords

Studies on growth and physical development of infants and children are important as they provide determinants of a nation's health'. On the whole, the labor force is from the low socio-economic segment of the population and it is all the more important that nutritionists and health educators should be concerned with the growth and development of infants belonging to this group. Devadas et al, have studied the physical measurements of infants in Coimbatore in relation to diet and nutrition.- Development of a Fast, Reliable Fringe Projection Profilometry System

Structured Light Scanning (SLS) systems have become popular for their reliability and accuracy. In this work, Fringe Projection based SLS system has been developed. Usage of Multi-level Quality Guided Phase unwrapping algorithm for recovering the true phase map is presented; System calibration, along with the process of recovering depth from phase is explained. Finally measurement results are presented to reaffirm the fact that phase shifting technique along with quality guided spatial unwrapping can be used for fast, full field 3D-Scanning.Keywords

Semiconductor device fabrication process is the most sophisticated and complex manufacturing process. Advances in the manufacturing processes has brought down the feature size of gate to as low as 22 nm. Hence there is a great demand for process control of feature dimension below the resolution limit of visible wavelength microscopy. Lot of research has been focused on increasing the resolution of the metrology tools. We have adopted a novel optical technique that shows nanoscale measurement sensitivity using conventional optical microscopes. Here through-focus images are acquired at different focus positions. These focused and defocused images are used to build an intensity map whose signature reflects the target pattern. This technique is used to identify relative nanoscale change in dimension between two targets by finding the change in the signature of the intensity map.Keywords

Conventional coordinate measuring machine posses problem for handling delicate components. Optical profile projectors require enormous time for manual cursor positioning to make measurements. A separate setup is called for inspecting the surface finish (microscope). These issues are addressed by a single setup using vision techniques for both precision measurements as well as to identify surface defects. This paper discusses about machine vision technique for metrology requirement and explain how ‘Vision for Metrology’ differs in terms of sensor requirement, lighting techniques, calibration methods and algorithm from a conventional vision system used for feature identification, recognition etc.Keywords

Venous thromboembolism is a common and serious complication among hospitalised patients.VTE incidence increases the hospital stay and thus the cost of treatment. Staff nurses play an important role in the risk assessment, prophylaxis and prevention of VTE. Their knowledge on VTE largely influences the successful VTE prevention programme. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of a dash board teaching programme on the risk assessment compliance among staff nurses. A retrospective audit of in-service department files was conducted to assess the intervention and outcome measures. The audit included the laptop assisted teaching, post-test knowledge of nurses on VTE and their compliance on VTE assessment. The approach was descriptive. The instruments used were a 10 item knowledge questionnaire and a 24 item VTE risk assessment tool. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used for data analysis. The result showed that the knowledge of staff nurses and risk assessment compliance was good. There was a positive correlation between compliance and knowledge among staff nurses.Keywords

The machine vision technology has matured significantly over the past few years. It is emerging as a superior alternative to human labor in process and quality control and is extremely sought after to create lean and flexible manufacturing systems. With its ability to deliver high accuracy while ensuring throughput on the production line, vision systems also serve as efficient quality control tools. Emerging trends in the field of sensors, embedded systems, illumination methods, and camera and laser technology are expected to contribute immensely to the future growth of machine vision systems.- Optical 3-D Measurement Techniques

Linear hydraulic actuators for critical applications, have to undergo very stringent qualification tests, to establish their suitability for the designed task. Endurance test is one of the important tests conducted on linear actuators, as a part of design qualification. The endurance test requirements are very stringent, and hence conducting the test manually is very tedious and time consuming. The paper describes a PC based Virtual instrumentation and controller developed for one such application.- Automatic Visual Inspection:An Object Oriented Approach

Automatic Visual Inspection (AVI) is the process of using computer vision techniques for inspection. Due to increasing automation it is of late gaining widespread acceptance in the manufacturing industry. The crucial components of an AVI system are: (a) the camera, (b) the frame grabber, (c) the processor, (d) the vision processing software, (e) the lighting and (f) the interface between the AVI and the external system. While most of the components such as the camera, the frame grabber, processor and even the-interface software can be decided a priori the lighting and the vision software have to be determined on site. In this paper we shall be considering the problem of generating the vision software.- Design and fabrication of platinum Thin-Film based Temperature Sensor
