ABSTRACT- The fundamental principles of electricity generation were discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the

British scientist Michael Faraday. The processes like electricity transmission, distribution, and electrical power storage

and recovery using pumped-storage methods are normally carried out by the electric power industry. As the grid

penetration and the power level of the power plant increases steadily, the power plant start to have a significance to the

power system. Therefore more advanced generator, power electronic system like converter, as well as control solution

have to be introduced to improve the characteristic of the power plant and make it more suitable to be integrated into the

power grid. Meanwhile there are also some emerging technology challenges which need to be further clarified and

investigated. This paper gives an overview and discuss some development trends in the use of converter for the power

plant. This paper starts with the discussion of the use of converters in power generation technologies and then going

through multifed converters there is a brief discussion on full-scale and partial-scale power converters.

Abstract: Combinational Multipliers represent a class of circuits that is usually considered to be hard to design. In this

paper we propose an efficient design of multiplier for high speed operation. Multipliers are the basic component in most of

the DSP applications. This multiplier is composed of two blocks namely PPG (Partial Product Generation) block & PPA

(Partial Product Addition) block. Here an n-bit multiplication is divided into ‘n’ different PPG blocks. Each PPG block

operate in parallel and generate partial products. In the later stage the partial product generated are added, using CSA

(Carry save adder) in PPA block.

Abstract— In the last few years, Email service proves to be a powerful communication tool. With the increasing

importance of email service, spam has become a major problem. Spammers are continuously adopting new techniques to

evade detection. One of it is image spam where in embedded text within images carries the main information of spam

message instead of text based spam. Currently, image spam is evaluated to be roughly 50% of all spam traffic & is still on

rise, thus a serious research issue to filter such mails. This work proposes ISD model for detecting image spam efficiently

and accurately. The performance of the proposed model demonstrates the effectiveness of its efficiency with other existing

models.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract— It is essential to upgrade the performance of accident detection system in order to minimize the after effects of

accidents. In this paper, the technology of Pulse Oximetry, GPS (Global Positioning System) and GSM (Global System for

Mobile) is used to send the location of a person, when met with an accident, along with the blood oxygen saturation level to

the medical faculty. This information on the SPO2 rate helps the medical faculty in the incoming ambulance to know the

condition of the injured person and act accordingly. The SPO2 sensor continuously monitors the oxygen saturation level in

the blood. The SPO2 sensor circuit is designed inside a glove worn by the driver. The reading from the pulse oximeter is

sent continuously to the microcontroller using zigbee technology. The accident is detected by the air bag sensors. When the

accident occurs, the microcontroller checks the blood oxygen saturation level and the location of the accident victim and

alerts the medical faculty. The level of fall in the victim’s blood oxygen saturation explains the condition of the victim.

Abstract- In a multi script environment a document may contain text lines in more than one language scripts. So, for a

multi script document, it is necessary to identify different script type of the document in order to feed the document to the

respective OCR systems. With this context, this paper proposes to develop a model to identify and separate text lines of

Kannada, Devanagari and English scripts from a tri-lingual document. In the proposed method, the linear regression line

is used to plot for the top and bottom profiles of the input text lines. Then, the percentage of the points close to the best-fit

line is calculated and these values are used as the features of each language. Experimentation conducted involved 1500 text

lines for learning and 900 text lines for testing. The performance has turned out to be 99.63%.

Abstract—This paper presents a wireless sensor glove developed for American Sign Language (ASL) fingerspelling

gesture recognition. It facilitates an easy communication through synthesized speech and text for the benefit of speechless

people. This glove is equipped with multiple flex sensors attached to each of the fingers. In addition to it, five contact

sensors as well as a 3-D accelerometer are installed in it. These flex sensors gather data on each finger’s position for

different alphabets gestured. For each specific gesture, the flex sensors produce a proportional change in resistance. The

processing of this information i.e., equivalent resistance generated by the sensors, produces a unique set of signals which is

then used to identify the character signed and thereby, displaying it on Character Liquid Crystal Display (CLCD) and

producing the audio message of the corresponding gesture as well.

Abstract: Designing an Inverse Multiplexing for ATM [IMA] Transmitter using Universal Test & Operations Physical

interface for ATM [UTOPIA] is the aim of the work. The functionality of the transmitter is to split up high bandwidth

serial data from the ATM layer (in the form of fixed length packets known as cells) over two low bandwidth physical links

(E1 of2.048 Mbps). VHDL coding, timing simulation and functional are used to carry out the designs of IMA Transmitter

systems. The logic which is needed for the functioning of IMA Transmitter is implemented in Altera‟s APEX20KE, FPGA.

This is to retrieve the original stream at the far end from the physical links and to provide inverse multiplexing of an ATM

cell stream over these multiple physical links (EI). The multiplexing of the ATM cell stream is carried out on a cell-by-cell

basis across the multiple physical [UTOPIA] links

Department of Computer Science and Engineering Department of Computer Science and Engineering UVCE UVCE Bangalore, India Bangalore, India [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract— Email proves to be a convenient and powerful communication tool but it has given rise to unwanted mails.

Spam mails leads to wastage of server storage space, consumption of network bandwidth and heavy financial losses to the

organisation, thus a serious research issue. Filtering mails is one of the popular approaches used to block spam mails. In

this work, we propose RePID-OK (Repetitive Pre-processing technique using Imbalanced Data set by selecting Optimal

number of Keywords) model for spam detection. Using the data set Ling-Spam, we show that efficiency of the proposed

model is more powerful and effective than existing schemes. The performance of the proposed RePID-OK has been

checked across the identified parameters and also evaluated against other existing models, thus demonstrating the

efficiency of the proposed technique over other models in this area of research.

Abstract- Frequency jammers aim at intelligently disabling a communication channel either by jamming the entire

spectrum or by selecting a required channel, based on the user requirement and successfully blocking the communication

in said channel. The paper aims at giving a solution to the current problems on available jammers which are specified

later on in the paper. Jammers find applications in widespread areas such as Defence related or educational institutions

wherein electronic silence is imposed or needed. Jammers also help in combat against terrorism aids like remote detonated

explosives or IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices), or to block unwanted communication through mobile phones. This is

the main aim of this device. The device that this paper represents aims at using different techniques, suitable for particular

situations, thereby increasing the selectivity of the jammer and efficiency in jamming. Our device not only aims at

blocking communication channels but also to locate any intelligent transceivers if they are in the immediate vicinity of the

device, by triangulation. The device also aims at separating out required communication channels, either to block them

(i.e. unwanted electronic communication) or to allow them to break through the blockade (i.e. emergency calls), depending

on the requirement. For example, during a police blockade, the requirement is that all communication channels must be

disabled. But this does not apply to the law men as they have to communicate with each other. Therefore such channels

should be allowed to break through the electronic barricade, which is an aim of this device. For educational institutions

where communication is restricted, the device can help not only to jam the cellular communication spectrum but also in

locating such devices by triangulation. For example, consider that a person X is using an intelligent transceiver such as a

cellular to communicate in an area inside the institution where such communications are not allowed. If three or more

jamming devices are in the area, surrounding the cellular then by acting as individual base stations the jammers can help

in locating said cellular with good accuracy. The device also aims at blocking multiple frequency spectrums at the same

time, irrespective of the channel specifications.

Abstract—Timbre is a very fundamental property of sound that is dependent on various parameters of the music signal.

In this paper, we discuss some of the key parameters that are sufficient to synthesize a faithful version of the musical

instrument. We present some efficient methods of extracting the required model parameters from the music signal. This

algorithm is better in the sense that it extracts minimal data thereby requiring minimal data storage to synthesize the

music signal. This finds particular use in embedded applications and real time applications where memory is not all that

affordable.

Abstract—Vehicles-to-Grid (V2G) is an emerging technology in this era. Recent technological advances in electricity

distribution and load management that make use of information and communications technologies referred to as “smart

grids”, promise to facilitate the integration of Electric Vehicles into electricity load. Smart-grid technology can enable EV-

charging (grid-to-vehicle, or G2V) load to be shifted to off-peak periods, thereby flattening the daily load curve and

significantly reducing both generation and network investment needs. Revenue from V2G will reduce the customer cost of

electric vehicles; it will also increase the efficiency and reliability of the existing grid today, decreasing petroleum use, and

making possible a much larger share of renewable energies such as wind and solar in the future. This paper describes the

technology of this rapidly evolving concept.

Abstract - Multilevel inverters generate stepped AC signals and thus overcome many of the limitations with the classical

inverter circuit. Multilevel inverters use many number of switches and generate staircase type output through controlled

switching of various switches. The sequence of switching and the duration of each step are very vital in minimizing the

THD. The methods of generating gating signals are not unique. Many methods that are proposed in literatures make use

of SPWM technique. Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) is a popular control method widely used in power

electronic inverter circuit. It has advantages like low switching losses, the output has fewer harmonic and method is easy

to implement. The different SPWM methods are: (A) Phase Disposition PWM (PDPWM), (B) Phase Opposition

Disposition PWM (PODPWM), (C) Alternative Opposition and Disposition PWM (APODPWM), (D) Phase Shift PWM

(PSPWM), (E) Carrier Overlapping PWM (COPWM) and (F) Multi Carrier Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation with

Variable Frequency (MCSPWMVF). All the above methods make use of many triangular signals, that are level shifted or

phase shifted, and compare with a single sine wave to generate gating signals for the respective switches. The intersection

of the sine signal with the various triangular signals will generate the gating signals for the respective switches. In the

present investigation a generalized gating signal generation method is proposed using only one modulating and one carrier

signal. The signal so generated is steered into various switches through pulse steering circuit developed in the present

work.

Abstract— A Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) is a class of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), whose size is restricted to a wing

span of 25cm. Development of autopilot is driven by commercial, research, government, and military purposes; with insect-

sized aircraft reportedly expected in the future. Features and capabilities of the MAV is primarily decided by the processor core

used for the control unit. Design and development of the control unit (autopilot hardware) with all the features are helpful in

security and surveillance task. 10 Degree Of Freedom (DOF) sensor suit is an essential and prime requirement of any MAV.

Interfacing 10DOF sensor module to the MAV core selected is the critical step in software development for the MAV control

unit design. Various MAV autopilot hardware units available in the market have used ARM cortex M3, Cortex M4 and upto

ARM7 cores operating at less than 200MHz frequency, but probably no autopilot has been made using dual core SOC having

separate MCU and DSP for control and processing respectively. In this paper, an approach to interface 10DOF sensors to the

processor core ARM+DSP SOC is proposed. Results obtained from interfacing are verified and found satisfactory.

Abstract— This project is aimed at developing hardware implementation of image processing algorithm which can be used

in FPGA based image processing. This approach facilitates comparison of the software and synthesized hardware

algorithm outputs. In this paper, a dual lateral architecture based on FPGA has been utilized to speed up median filter

and edge detection tasks which are essential steps during image processing. The dual lateral scheme includes an image-

level parallel process and an operation-level parallel process. The image-level parallel is a high-level parallel process which

divides one image into different parts and processes them concurrently. The operation level parallel process, which is

embedded in each image-level parallel thread. It fully explores the two parts of the image inside the concrete algorithms.

This method can reduce the comparison from current 21 times down to 13, and improve the algorithm efficiency nearly

40%. By taking advantage of the dual lateral technique, the speed/frequency ratio of FPGA can be made 202 times faster

than PC and 147 times faster than DSP.

Abstract— This paper suggest design and development of an electronic device that measures human blood glucose levels

non-invasively using lasers, where absorption of light by physiological components of blood is taken into consideration . In

this work, non-invasive glucose measurement is considered which doesn’t involve pricking (breaking) the skin. The non-

invasive blood glucose monitoring works on the principle of photo acoustic spectroscopy and near infrared spectroscopy.

Forefinger is examined for the glucose measurement and the site is evaluated on the basis of its chemical, biological and

physical properties as they pertain to the non-invasive measurement of glucose. Critical features include the effective

optical path-length of aqueous material within the tissue and the percentage of body fat within the optical path. The

percentage of body fat affects the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement and will be minimized for reliable glucose

sensing.

Abstract— Body Area Network (BAN) is an interdisciplinary field which allows continuous monitoring of physiological

parameters and transmission of the vital signs over some form of communication to medical practitioners. A typical

WBAN kit consists of sensors, a real time processor, a transceiver and a battery. The aim of this paper is to present a

preliminary design of a wireless BAN based wearable patient monitoring system that transmits vital parameters to a

mobile device.[1] The wearable system is in the form of a T-shirt that has integrated sensors, real time system on chip and

communicating peripherals that are capable of effectively sensing, pre-processing and transmitting the appropriate data to

doctors. The main parameters that are measured are the ECG (Electrocardiogram), PPG (Photoplethysmography) to

measure the pulse, spO2 levels and non-invasive blood pressure measurement, and core body temperature monitoring. A

ZigBee protocol can also be used for transmission of information. In case of abnormalities, the mobile phone can sound an

alarm and also inform the physician of an emergency condition.
