Abstract: In this study, a failure component of armature plate is used in picanol loom. This armature plate is used to stop auto loom suddenly. In
one side of armature plate clutch is fitted and another side brake. The main focuses of the project is fracture and wear analysis, one of the fractured
armature plate is retrieved to identify the cause of failure. The investigations included the visual examination, chemical analysis, hardness, micro-
structural characterization, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and wear measurement is carried out in order to
determine the cause and solution of this failure. A failure investigation has been conducted on a picanol loom consisting of a drive clutch and brake.
The armature plate is made from an EN 3 material. The first visual examination and chemical analysis is very must and after hardness and micro-
structural characterization is applied.

Abstract: Agriculture is the back bone of India. To make the sustainable agriculture, this system is proposed. In this system ARM 9 processor is used
to control and monitor the irrigation system. Different kinds of sensors are used. This paper presents a fully automated drip irrigation system which is
controlled and monitored by using ARM9 processor.PH content and the nitrogen content of the soil are frequently monitored. For the purpose of
monitoring and controlling, GSM module is implemented. The system informs user about any abnormal conditions like less moisture content and
temperature rise, even concentration of CO2 via SMS through the GSM module.
