Weight reduction is now the main issue in automobile industries. Weight reduction can be achieved primarily by the introduction of better material, design optimization and better manufacturing processes. The automobile industry has shown increased interest in the replacement of steel spring with fiberglass composite leaf spring due to high strength to weight ratio.
To design a prototype of an accident avoiding electronically controlled safety system to provide safety at high speed from frontal collision. By designing electronic systems we are going to prevent the vehicles from accident by detecting the distance of any obstacle while we are following any other vehicle.
Magnesium alloy is a very good candidate for replacing steel, ABS plastic, and aluminum currently used in automobile parts production. It is only two-thirds the weight of aluminum and one-fourth the weight of steel. It has excellent dampening capacity and has high dimensional stability. These properties allow for reduced weight of vehicles,

INTRODUCTION:
Autocollimators are devices which are based on the optical technique of projecting an illuminated reticule to infinity and receiving the reticule image after reflected upon by a flat mirror. The flat mirror is positioned along the specimen to be tested and is moved in increments along the entire length of the specimen .
Osteosynthesis procedures require the insertion of self-tapping orthopedic screws through bone plates and into one or two layers of cortical bone, in order to stabilize the fractured bones. Applying too much torque can cause the screw to strip and lose purchase, reducing the effective hold of the screw against the plate.
