In this paper, the influence of physicochemical property and composition of clay on resistance behavior of copper-cermet was studied and it is revealed that metal filler and conducting grains diffused through the pores of the clay (porosity of 49%) at temperature greater than 400 ºC and duration above 120 minutes. Good performance of cermet was noticed for compositions below 20%. The porosity of clay in addition to annealing were able to activate the diffusion of conducting grains in the cermet in the form of electrons and holes in motion while the temperature coefficient of resistance remains positive within the temperature range. Metal composition increment also reduces the peak resistance attained as the temperature increases.

At the cosmic level, the physical analogy of Information consciousness idea is best corroborated by an excellent depiction of Penrose diagram (named after mathematical physicist Roger Penrose)which is conformably equivalent to the actual metric in space-time. This conformal factor is chosen such that the entire infinite space-time is transformed into a diagram of finite size where every point corresponds to a 2-dimensional sphere. Consciousness does not speak the language of mathematics, but it is true that one can endeavour to model it comprehensively in the language of mathematics. Descartes was also, as was so often the case, well ahead of his time by describing continuity and dimensionality, the factors that define his view of space as an actual vector space accessible to mathematical and physical analysis.We can also use mathematics to abstract, idealise and describe these phenomenon in order to make some predictions that would be very different otherwise. Drawing parallel to the law of conservation, the information force-field of consciousness that is believed to exist and pervade in every region of creation including our universe, is believed to be inhabited by information as its fundamental constituent. It evolves and continuously interact with other fields and matter particles and engage in the exchange of mass-energy with them. This process is also consistent with the existing postulates of physical mass-energy phenomenon explained by laws such as Higgs boson field and the emergent phenomenon of gravity. Mathematically, Information consciousness can be described as a function of transformation of Potential information consciousness into kinetic consciousness i.e. f (C¬0+C1) which can further be assumed to be a divergence operator explaining how much the consciousness field gradient tends to spread radially outward or converge inward; a kind of behaviour observed under the Gauss’ law of electric field lines charging or spreading out from charges in every direction.

The project is designed to develop a device to increase the life of incandescent lamps. Incandescent lamps have a property of very low resistance in cold condition. Due to which lamp draws high current when switched is ON, this results in fast failure of lamps.Random switching of lamps may occur at any instant of the voltage/current waveform. Suppose it switches at the peak value supply voltage. When such switching of the load (Incandescent Lamp) occurs and as the lamp is having low resistance in cold condition, then the current further shoots up leading to premature failure of the lamp.The proposed project provides a solution by connecting a TRIAC in circuit such that the controlling the firing angle of the TRIAC by detecting the zero cross point of the waveform of supply voltage and after to switched ON the load. The project contains comparator here is ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) which is given as reference interrupt to the microcontroller. A push button is used as a switch which is used to switch ON the load(Lamp) at zero voltage so the lamp draws current gradually from zero to full value.
