Abstract
Implementing blockchain-based certification systems is pivotal for enhancing the security, transparency, and efficiency of credential verification in academic and professional sectors. This study explores the design and deployment of an NFT-based certificate verification system, leveraging Ethereum blockchain, smart contracts, and decentralized storage (IPFS) to issue, verify, and manage digital credentials. By applying blockchain technology, smart contract logic, and decentralized file systems, this research addresses challenges such as certificate forgery, inefficient manual verification, and limited global accessibility. Key methodologies include the use of Solidity smart contracts for minting NFTs, Web3.js for blockchain interaction, and React.js for user interface development, alongside IPFS for secure off-chain certificate storage. The system is designed to reflect real-world use cases involving students, educational institutions, and verifiers, supporting operations such as certificate issuance, revocation, and verification. Outcomes include instant, tamper-proof verification processes, reduced operational costs, and improved user trust in credential authenticity. By integrating emerging technologies like Web3 and decentralized identity (DID), this research establishes a foundation for scalable, secure, and adaptable certification systems capable of meeting the evolving needs of education and professional validation

Year of Publication
Publication Type
Abstract
The use of induction motor in various facets of engineering, manufacturing and the production sector to power various equipment have gained stability and thereby creating huge starting current which in turn contributes to the unbalanced loading of network giving rise to high energy and economic loss. This research work, therefore, seeks to reduce the starting current of the connected single-phase induction motor. A smooth and soft start is employed in a single-phase induction motor to eliminate the surge in current and electromagnetic torque during starting. The surge in current and torque are eliminated using soft starter at the time of starting. The soft starter also eliminates the unwanted effect in electric cables and the distribution network. This project work provides an in-depth description of the sentimental and smooth start to an induction motor. The smooth start of the motor is predicted by the firing angle of the TRIAC circuit. The firing angle is delayed during starting and the delay angle reduces as the motor picks up to speed. This proposed technique provided reduced voltage at the starting and the rated voltage when themotor is up to speed. By using soft starter, the performance and efficiency of the induction motor is improved and it also improves the load torque characteristics. This project consists of 6anti-parallel SCR connected in each series with an induction motor to the main supply, where into each phase. When starting the firing angle is heavily delayed by receiving delayed triggering pulses. The supplied voltage is gradually increased, and the torque also in same manner. By this process the inrush current is drastically reduced, making the motor start smoothly. The induction motor of0.56KW, frequency of 50Hz, maximum voltage 230V, receives little or no surge using the soft starter device. The start up ramp is about 4s to 7s, depending on the power of the induction motor. The firing angle is gradually decreased from 80˚ by interval of 20˚ until 0˚ max of the full half
