ABSTRACT The main aim of conducting this project is to control a maximum of eight electrical appliances by just using a TV remote. Normal IR circuits can switch only one device. But using this circuit‚ different devices can be controlled using same remote with different switches. In this circuit‚ we interfaced 8 devices. These devices are switched using remote keypad -1 to 8. AT89C51 microcontroller is used to control the inputs and outputs. TSOP 1736 (infrared receiver) is used

Outline and evaluate the evolutionary theory of attachment Bowlby came up with this theory and believed that attachment is innate and adaptive. His theory states that we are born with an inherited need to form an attachment in order to help us survive.
