The Digitally Programmable Temperature/Time-Based Control System puts forth a system which enables users to choose the preferred temperature for the water to be heated while the device is in the temperature mode. The design is built with the objective of implementing a digital temperature monitoring circuit that will collect the temperature of water and send the value, digitally to a microcontroller and to create an alerting mechanism that will be in the form of an audio alarm and a visual display to alert the operator that an operation is done. By also providing precise temperature regulation and accurate timing the water heater will turn on when the user sets the desired temperature via the input switches, and the screen will begin counting down from the chosen time to zero. A signal from the microcontroller will be sent to the transistor's base through the resistor when the water reaches the specified temperature, cutting off the power to the heater. In order to activate the relay, the transistor must become saturated. Given that the heater is linked to the relay's typically open contact, the water heater will be turned off. The flow chart were established, which helped with the proper circuit diagram design and simulations utilizing electrical simulation software like PROTEUS ISIS. The MIDE-written assembly language program was translated to machine code using TOPWIN6, and then burnt into the microcontroller IC using a universal programmer. The 555 timer, which is connected in the Astable mode, will be activated at the same moment by the microcontroller depending on the written program stored in its ROM. This will enable the buzzer to pulse and an alarm to sound with an LED flashing. The complete system operates on a 5 volts power supply which is
obtained from the public mains. This design makes use of an efficient and low-cost technology for controlling the appliances thus minimizing the power wastage. The results showed that the developed system provided accurate temperature control with a deviation of less than 1°C, and precise timing control with a deviation of less than 5 seconds.

The study is focused on the measurement of temperature using fiber optic sensor using an OTDR to measure attenuation

An inverter is an electronic device use to convert direct current (DC) to an alternating current (AC). The alternating current can be set at a required voltage and frequency, which depends totally on the transformer, control circuit (chipset) and switching use during the time of production. An inverter is essentially a household device that convert power stored in a battery, windmill, solar panel to power every household appliance within it load capacity. That is to say, it supplies AC power from a DC source. Solid state inverter does not have any moving part like motor and areused in wide range of applications, from small switching power supplies in computers to heavy electric utility high voltage DC applications that transport large amount of power. Also, an inverter performs the opposite function of a rectifier. When designing an inverter, there is one thing you want to be cautious of, which is; what appliances am I using with the inverter. After Designing, the circuit was divided into four stages which are the; Drivers stage, Buffering stage, Oscillation and the Output stage. All these stages put together make up a whole inverter
