ABSTRACT
Study buddy is an all-in-one package for your studies. We provide an automatically generated timetable as well as pdfs and video links all for Free for our students of class 10th, 12th and, those appearing for JEE. The aim is to increase job opportunities for college students with expertise in a particular subject as well as retired teachers to help school students divide their time and stay motivated. Kids nowadays are always stressed during exam days because they can't make a schedule to study. So we wanted to bring an end to those days of anxiety and fear. We decided to make a website, "Study Buddy"where a student will have the following 4 options: a) Generate Time table b) Reference Material c) Discussion Forum d) Mentor Help.In our research, we would walk through the above-mentioned points and also compare how our proposed method and software package stands out from the already existing software. This will be followed by our system design, result and future scope. This software is a buddy for the students during their hard times. It will not only help the students but will also provide an employment opportunity to retired teachers and college students. We also plan to implement machine learning in order to understand the basic trend of student psychology during exams. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Purpose>This research aims to focus on developing a customized support surface using additive manufacturing (AM) for effective pressure relief for patients who are in bed or wheelchair suffering from pressure ulcers (PU).Design/methodology/approach>A novel customized support surface is developed using AM technology incorporated with magnetic levitation and ball and socket mechanisms. Magnetic levitation provides cushioning effect for the developed cushion to users who are sitting in a wheelchair and increases the rate of healing. The ball and socket mechanism provides the user body's self-adaptive mechanism and reduces shear and friction forces between the surfaces of the additive manufactured cushion and the human buttocks.Findings>From the results of ISO 16480-6 biomechanical standardized tests, the additive manufactured support surface performed better than, or on par with, the most widely available commercial cushions. It is evident that the developed cushion’s peak pressure values are lower when compared with other cushions. The overall efficiency of the developed cushion was qualitatively reported;67% of people felt it was excellent and 22% of people responded as good and 11% were satisfactory. Henceforth, the overall effectiveness of the developed support surface provides a better experience to the end-user in the view of PU reduction.Originality/value>A developed additive manufactured customized support surface will be an alternative approach for the reduction of PU, and it overcomes the drawbacks faced by the currently available cushions.
