Short-range reliable and secure communication is a major priority in the tactical, military and disaster response settings where the traditional communication infrastructure is either off-line or prone to interception. Current VHF/UHF radios and software-defined radios are popular but large-sized devices and require lots of power, making them not suitable to be used as lightweight wearable devices with seamless hand-free use. In this paper, the design and theoretical framework of a miniature, LoRa based encrypted intercommunication device that can be used in secure field communication over a range of 1-1.5km and under line-of-sight conditions is provided. The suggested system consists of a voice-activated acquisition block, digital audio compression, an embedded microcontroller processor, and AES-128 encryption followed by a low-power transmission via the LoRa protocol. Through the ability of chirp spread spectrum modulation to utilize the long-range and low-energy properties, the system is guaranteed reliable communications coupled with low power consumption and low electromagnetic footprint. The theoretical analysis of the proposed communication range is justified using a link-budget that justifies the practicability of the communication range in the real propagation conditions. This architecture focuses on infrastructural agnosticism, peer-to-peer security as well as wearable ergonomics. The given scheme shows the possibilities of LoRa technology in the scope of other traditional IoT telemetry, and it can be further extended to include secure tactical voice communication platforms.
Validating Electronic Control Units (ECUs) for vehicle dynamics normally depends on real vehicles, which makes testing costly, time-consuming, and difficult to repeat. To address these issues, a simulation framework has been developed in the CANoe (Controller Area Network open environment) that combines CAPL (Communication Access Programming Language) scripting with Panel Designer. This setup reproduces key driving operations-such as gear shifting, braking, and creeping-and displays system responses through an interactive interface. Unlike earlier approaches that relied only on CANoe and CAPL, the inclusion of Panel Designer provides both input generation and clear output visualization within the same environment. A comparison with manual vehicle-level testing highlights improvements in flexibility, repeatability, and efficiency, while reducing dependence on physical prototypes. The framework offers a practical tool for engineers to accelerate ECU validation and strengthen safety assessments in the development of advanced and autonomous vehicles.
Traditional robotic grippers designed for collaborative robots have often been constrained to specific part geometries or low-temperature operations, creating a need for more adaptable solutions. A high-temperature gripper has been developed with fingers made from alloy steel 4140 and an aluminium oxide ceramic insulator to support automation during postprocessing in metal additive manufacturing (AM). Mechanical and thermal characterization tests have been performed to validate the insulator's performance under extreme conditions. Thermal simulations have indicated a temperature difference of 767.58 degrees C across the insulator when subjected to a 1000 degrees C steel plate, confirming its role as an effective thermal barrier. The gripper has been designed to withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees C and integrated with thermocouples for continuous temperature monitoring during manipulation. This advancement has enabled safe handling of heated components, reduced risks to human operators, and supported greater automation in high-temperature environments, thereby improving safety and productivity in demanding industrial settings.

The automotive industry faces a significant challenge in the validation process, wherein engineers must physically visit vehicles to test and simulate faults from previous software iterations. These faults are then replicated in updated software to assess rectifications. The discussed process entails turning on the ignition, cranking the vehicle, performing brake presses, using the shifter for input commands, and scrutinizing Instrument Panel Cluster outputs while observing CAN signals graphically to evaluate Electronic Control Unit (ECU) functionality. This manual approach is time-consuming and often hindered by vehicle availability, necessitating a shift towards bench-level testing. This paper introduces a model that demonstrates vehicle functionality using panel design and CAPL (Communication Access Programming Language) within the CANoe environment.

Big Data is a massive collection of data that continues to grow dramatically over time. It is a data set that is so huge and complicated that no standard data management technologies can effectively store or process it. Big data is similar to regular data, but it is much larger. “There's no doubt that the volumes of data presently available are vast, but that's not the essential element of this new data ecosystem,” says one expert. The term “big data” is now commonly used to refer to the application of predictive analytics. New correlations can be discovered by analyzing data sets to “identify economic trends, prevent diseases, combat crime, and so on.” In sectors such as Internet searches, financial technology, healthcare analytics, geographic information systems, urban informatics, and business informatics, scientists, corporate executives, medical practitioners, advertising, and governments all face challenges with enormous data sets.

Next-generation applications in robotics and mechatronics will necessitate basic, flexible, compact, and affordable technologies. Technologies could be easy due to the virtual elimination of small-level feedback control, detectors, cabling, and computers. Traditional electric motors, including linear motors and drivetrain, are not really suitable for Boolean technology, though, because they become complicated, bulky as well as costly. Such automation was not well recognized and thus was encountered with main issues of usability. So thus in the next generation, the latest trend which is the Internet of things will be used with that of the devices and technologies which we use in our day-to-day life to do our work more efficiently and with very ease. Two-way communication which may be stated as full-duplex communication, where the device communicates with another device of its own and work accordingly, is been termed as the Internet of things and can be understood as stating it as an interconnection of things or devices.
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a novel multi-carrier modulation scheme where linearly modulated streams of data are split into several sub-streams and each occupies much lesser bandwidth than the total bandwidth of the signal. As compared to other single-carrier transmission schemes, the prime benefit of OFDM is its capability to survive the critical channel conditions without the use of complex equalisers. Its inevitable role in prohibiting inter-symbol interference (ISI) and improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has enhanced the efficacy in communicating over large distances. As OFDM is favourable even in transmitting information involving very high rates of data and provides much better performance; therefore, it is the focal process behind the new generation wireless networks such as 4G mobile communications, digital television and audio broadcasting. M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) is the most preferred modulation scheme in wireless communication popularly known for its high noise immunity, much more efficient utilisation of channel bandwidth (spectral efficiency) for the same average signal power and its reliability for higher data rate transmission over the same channel. The central concept of an OFDM system involving the QAM scheme for modulation of data has been discussed in this work. This study analyses and compares the bit error rate (BER) performance of OFDM systems against the parameters of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) among different orders (‘M’ values) of QAM (i.e. 4, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256-QAM) over AWGN channel. All simulations are performed in MATLAB only.
