Abstract: Today many educational institutions use the manual system of taking attendance in which student writes their names and matric numbers on a sheet of paper or in an attendance sheet. To eradicate the problem associated with the manual attendance system such as student not coming to class, writing of names for students who are not present, an automated approach is implemented through biometric technology embedded with a window application which is fully explained in this work. This paper presents design and construction of student attendance management system. The developed system comprises of a timekeeping system that will register every student in a database. The database itself will be managed by the department, so that reports, either individual or collective, can be issued whenever they are needed on both physical and electronic format. Also, these reports would be used to create statistics and further help the growth of the academic process.

Abstract: Mechanical systems, the description of which differs from the electrical circuits of similar structure, are studied. As an example, the scheme of a spring pendulum with a zero periodic displacement of the point of application of the forcing harmonic force is considered. In contrast to the unique representation of electrical circuits mechanical system with a serial connection of mechanical elements can be modeled by different electrical circuits. In this case, the family of frequency characteristics of such a system contains a singular point, which is at a frequency 
less than the resonance frequency. The force modulus at this point does not depend on the value of the viscous resistance.

Abstract: This paper focuses on research works of control engineering field and aims at impenetrable security system especially in case of medication, jewelry, documents & others valuable items and mandatorily in the higher intelligence agency. Here, a developed security system with automatic sensing is introduced by the use of both Radio frequency identification (RFID) card tagging system and fingerprint sensing biometric security system to maintain the valid access of a person to a secured place. RFID reader and fingerprint sensing device work as a locker of the security and RFID tag and a validly ratified finger is considered as the key of the locker. In case of access granted entity, door bar gets opened with a servo mechanism system connected with door bar. On the contrary, no action is taken as cavalcade if the entity is considered invalid in the sensing system. These knock out the necessity for keeping track of keys or remembering a combination of password or pin. A prototype of the security system is also designed and the performance of it is tested. The satisfactory results of its performance show the validity of the system and indicate a better solution for the future security system.

Abstract: In this paper, a Short Message Service (SMS) Based Prepayment Energy Meter Monitoring System for Consumers and Utility Companies is developed. This is borne out of the desire of consumers to be able to monitor their meters especially their consumption. Also, the utility companies need to be able to monitor energy meters wirelessly especially for energy auditing and other control as may be needed. The Energy Meter consists of ADE7755 for consumption pulse measurement which is recorded by arduino Atmega328P. The recorded pulses are sent to Atmega2560, the main controller of the system on its request for update every second. This controller also manages unit according to consumption and other activities of the meter. It is made SMS capable by interfacing Atmega2560 with SIM900 Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) module. The system also has a server consisting of Atmega328P and SIM900 GSM module that enables the utility company to access the meter. The server is interfaced to a PC which is used for management and administrative Platform. The SMS communication command is developed in C++ to achieve the monitoring functionality of the metering system. The SMS duration test shows a mean time of 32.7s with a standard deviation of 13.71. The SMS Command Reliability Test carried out shows a success rate as high as 100% and the highest failure rate of 5.88%. The results obtained show that GSM-Based SMS is a good platform for energy meter monitoring.

Abstract: In the 21st century, Corruption evolved into a gigantic and almost indefeasible phenomenon pervading the social and economic fabrics of societies across the globe to the extent of stalling social development, equity and fairness in the distribution of commonwealth. No State whether or not developed can boast of a corrupt-free society although countries with superior media advantage has used vehicles of propaganda and media supremacy to portray and pass the bulk to those societies that are disadvantaged usually the developing countries. However, it is not as if the developing countries to which the bulk are often passed are not culpable of the same virulent and corrosive vice. It is interesting to note that ware against corruption has become a global song. In on the foregoing note that this paper is conceived to address the various instruments of anti-corruption especially having regard to the digital age in which we live in. This paper adopts a socio-technical approach in studying the various forms of corruption in the Nigerian society as well as the present measures to combating it. It evolves an effective communication infrastructure driven by integrated and coordinated national social information technologies, that provide unified information exchange platform for the entire citizenry wherein vital information arising from events, social, political, and economic spheres from the public and private domains are exchanged on real-time thereby closing the information circulation gap usually exploited by corrupt officials in perpetrating corrupt practices.
