Abstract

Among the emerging technologies recently proposed as alternatives to the classic CMOS, Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is one of the most promising solutions to design ultra-low power and very high speed digital circuits. Efficient QCA-based implementations have been demonstrated for several binary and decimal arithmetic circuits, but significant improvements are still possible if the logic gates inherently available within the QCA technology are smartly exploited. Signal Distribution Network (SDN) is one of the effective methods for the design of combinational and sequential circuits in quantum dot cellular automata. It overcomes the fabrication errors and thermal effects which occurred in wire crossings. The main objective is to increase the speed of digital circuits in QCA with the help of SDN. The main goal of this work is to reduce the hardware requirements of the digital logic circuits by using majority gate logic. The cell count and area can be reduced by logic synthesis. The main feature of SDN is it uses 4N-2 clock states for N number of inputs that is for the design of SDN and number of clock cycles required for the combinational circuit depends upon the number of stages. The design of 2 to 4 line decoder,4*1 Multiplexer 1*4 demultiplexer for QCA . Designed circuits are simulated by using QCA designer V2.0.3 software and calculated the delay of each circuit designed and the area occupied by the designed circuit.

Abstract

For fuel management of the engine and throttle valve opening, throttle position sensor plays the vital role. The traditional method for testing of such sensors at various angle and observe its effects was done manually. To overcome this method, the idea is to develop a system which is fully digital and controlled automatically. The aim of the system is to provide controlling system which includes sensing and identifying fault input signals from the throttle position sensor assembly sensors. Also a system is implemented for calibrating an engine throttle position sensor operation of a system. This system will not only will improve the performance characteristics but also will be a time efficient system.

Abstract

One of the major energy required in today’s life is electricity. The demand and supply of electricity is at misbalanced. There are many renewable resources such as wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy etc. The problem of demand and supply can be overcome by using wind energy present in highway by moving vehicles and also Nowadays, traffic is big issue particular in highways at junctions. The motivation of the project is to contribute one of the methods of generating electricity using wind energy which is generated by the moving vehicles on highways and ensuring smart control of the traffic at junction or network with the current and expected arrivals of traffic. This project deals with stand-alone system, energy reusing, low cost and real time controlling system. This system consists of two parts: a) Electric power generation b) Smart traffic control. In electric power generation, Vertical axis wind turbine is placed on the medians therefore wind flow from both sides of the highway will be considered. Using all the collected data, existing streetlight poles on the medians can be mounted with these wind turbines. Since the wind source will fluctuate and hence an additional source of solar energy is used. A storage system for power generated will be designed to distribute and maintain a constant source of power for streetlights and traffic signals. For Smart traffic control system, the dynamic delay logic implemented with respect to traffic density. IR sensors which are mounted on either side of the road will monitor the traffic density and the sensed output is given to microcontroller (W78E054D). A Bluetooth controller app is used for priority exit of emergency vehicles. Thus, depending on the density of traffic the dynamic delay of the traffic lights are appropriately set. From solar panel we are getting power of about 5.2 watts and from wind turbines we are getting about 1.5 Watts of power. Therefore, the total power obtained is around 6.7 Watts. The main aim of our project was to develop and implement Highway electric power generation using wind turbines for smart traffic light control system and also provide priority for emergency vehicles such as ambulance.

Abstract

Diabetes is one of the life-threatening diseases in the world. Nowadays, diabetes patients are increasing due to improper monitoring of blood glucose level. The diabetes infected patients have to check the amount of glucose level present in the body using an invasive method. By using this method, they have to take a drop of blood from the body and check the amount of glucose level, by which they can inject the required amount of insulin into the body. To overcome the difficulties caused by invasive method, in this prototype a non-invasive methodology is used. The main objective of this work is to design a portable non-invasive blood glucose level monitoring device using Near Infrared (NIR) sensors. The device includes Infrared LED, Photodiode, and Arduino MEGA 2560 microcontroller. Besides being able to detect glucose concentration in blood, the device also displays the required insulin dose based on glucose level corresponding to the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the user. In this paper, NIR spectroscopy is used to achieve bloodless monitoring of glucose level from a diabetic patient and also extracts insulin mechanism based on the data provided by the processor/controller.

Abstract

In this paper we propose to implement an intelligent health monitoring system that includes a home automation system based on IoT. This paper correlates the usage of embedded systems and Internet of Things in a productive manner. Initially a microcontroller is interfaced with necessary sensors to collect the physiological data from the patient and transfer to the database. The home automation system is incorporated to help the patient to have a better sophistication at home/hospital without any human assistance. Based on the reference values the physiological data obtained are verified and accordingly an alert message is sent to the medical assistant as well as concerned person to provide a immediate aid to the patient. The existing method for patient health monitoring has processing delay in transmission and reception of data. In our model, the delay is minimized and thus the patient can also be monitored across countries without any interruption. The experimental results in this paper show the output against various medical emergencies. Thus by using this device a better patient assistance system is provided.

Abstract

Underwater robots are used in surveillance, academic and military applications because of their capability to execute risky tasks underwater without human intervention. In this work, a robot is built at a low cost to carry out inspection at specified depth in a water body, controlled using IoT (Internet of Things) based technology. The main drawback with the currently developed Unmanned Underwater Vehicle’s(UUV’s) are that they are controlled using cables, which is a problem for underwater surveillance due to their additional weight and possible harm with the water animals. But with the help of this work, IoT technology can be used to control the robot wirelessly under deep waters which increases the credibility of this work. With the use of Raspberry-Pi 3 Model B+ the robot can be connected to a smartphone or a laptop and will be controlled with ease. The Raspberry-Pi 3 Model B+ can be programmed using python programming language and different instructions can be given to the UUV. In this work DC motors are interfaced with Raspberry-Pi. These motors are controlled using a smartphone or a laptop and depending upon the instruction given, these motors operate. A Raspberry-Pi camera module is placed at the front which is interfaced directly with Raspberry-Pi and is programmed for getting live video streaming. Focus lights are also placed for attaining better quality of video under the water.

Abstract

It takes being alive and healthy to tackle challenges for sustainable development as well as harness the benefits thereof. The scourge of drink driving has led to loss of life and properties. Control measures to ensure drivers are not under the influence of alcohol while driving such as Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) check remains unrealizable due to the huge personnel, equipment and maintenance cost involved. A less consuming effort has been proposed using mq3 gas sensor mounted on the steering wheel, powered by the ignition of the vehicle, to detect alcohol level of the subject controlling it. The alcohol detected from the subject is processed by an ATMEGA 16 Microcontroller that compares it with a set threshold for compliance. If the threshold is exceeded three modules are simultaneously triggered. The fuel supply control module is activated by a relay to cutoff supply towards bringing the vehicle to a momentary halt. The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) module is activated to show alcohol has been detected. The Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) module sends the same notice on the LCD to subject's next-of-kin/law- enforcement-agent phone line for immediate attention. This system was developed and tested using a toy car. The result showed that it could be implemented in real life situation provided that all specifications are taken into consideration.

Abstract

Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) is an attractive solution to provide a high performance computing required by the new applications are growing exponentially such as in multimedia applications. However, the communication between processors' cores presents a serious problem in the era of MPSoC. The network on chip (NoC) is presented as a promising solution is acknowledged that it is still limited with increasing data exchange. Moreover, the traditional NoC faces two main problems: the bandwidth and energy consumption. However, a new technology in MPSoC, namely,optical network-on-chip (ONoC) has been introduced which uses optical communication. In addition, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is exploited in ONoC to reach a high rate of bandwidth. Nevertheless, the ONoC components inducing crosstalk noise to the optical signal and direct effect the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). In this article, new system has been proposed to address these impairments in the network in order to detect and monitor crosstalk noise in WDMbased ONoC. The register-transfer level (RTL) hardware design and implementation of this system can result in high reliability, scalability and efficiency with running time less than 20 ms.

Abstract

Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) nowadays become more popular for serial communication over a computer or any other peripherals. UART is based on the serial communication protocol used for very short distance communication. It works on full duplex transmitter and receiver mode. UART is specially designed for the interfacing between RS232 line and Microcontroller so that any serial communicating device can easily connect with the other peripherals. It allows the exchange of the data between the processor and peripherals. The serial communications are assumed to have more reliable data transmission than the parallel communication. The parallel devices require more hardware due to which the circuitry becomes more complex as compared to the serial communication device. In this paper, verilog based UART has been proposed to design.

Abstract

Agriculture is the backbone for the development of any country. Yet still in this technology driven era the majority farmers are using traditional farming approaches which was completely dependent on manpower. By implementing automation in the farming will reduce the manpower requirement and also the need for continuous monitoring. This research proposes an Internet of Things (IOT) based agriculture monitoring framework that uses sensor acquainted raspberry Pi based embedded system that monitors and automates the basic tasks like watering, lighting in greenhouse farming and keeps the farmers updated on any critical issues. It also sends data that is related to water level, temperature, humidity, light etc. to a centralised server as well as the farmers continuously. Mining such data from multiple fields will be beneficial for further analysis in the field of agriculture. This IoT based Smart Agriculture Monitoring (I-SAM) system collects images from fields and uploads to a central server, that automatically detects & classifies pests in the images using machine learning algorithms. This will also help the farmer to share such data with experts to get suggestions that eliminates the inexperienced use of pesticides. This precision farming yields better productivity, and also it will conserves and protects natural resources. Use of IOT in agriculture will bring all the data in the blink of an eye. This system is more potent than the traditional agriculture approach.

Abstract

The environmental pollution is a serious problem, which is caused due to the leakage of toxic gasses at the time of transportation, storage, and during industrial processes of these gases. In industry, different types of hazardous gases are processed, stored, and transported through pipeline. The leakage of such pipeline occurs at any catastrophic accident, which may cause danger to the society as well as the environment. The gas pipeline may spread wide within the industry. Considering such facts, it is proposed to develop Wireless Sensor Network to detect, monitor, and control the leakage of gases. The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a challenging technology in the field of Industrial sectors. Recently, it is used to monitor agricultural, industrial, environmental, and medical parameters. WSN is the network of systematically distributed sensor nodes to collaboratively collect information from physical world. The present research work is carried out to detect, monitor, and control the hazardous gas Hydrogen Sulfide in industrial transportation system, to avoid catastrophic accidents as well as to reduce the effect on environment. For this purpose, sensor nodes are wired about advanced PIC 18F4550 microcontroller along with sensing and signal conditioning capabilities. The IEEE 802.15.4 slandered based ZigBee device is deployed for wireless communication. On the other hand, the control action is carried out through Coordinator Node, which is capable with electromechanical action to close the main valve of the gas source.

Abstract

Signal integrity is becoming more and more challenging as technology changes scales down in the direction of Deep Sub Micron (DSM) technology. Interconnects are now considered the bottleneck in the design of Integrated Circuits. In the DSM technology, a coupling capacitance between interconnects is the dominant factor in the total wire capacitance. The coupling effect (capacitance formation) dominates the consumption of energy in the run-instant on the chip bus. The present survey paper with an object is to provide an overview of various approaches of encoding to reduce the coupling capacitance effect for focusing on the coding scheme to reduce switching activities on the bus. These encoding techniques are mainly memory based, degree of encoding adaptability, the amount of extra information needed for coding the targeted capacitance for switching reduction and the method for the implementation of encoding.

Abstract

In this paper, the concentration of halo implant and threshold implant has been varied to estimate the sub-threshold leakage current and substrate current of the MOSFET. A lightly doped NMOS has been designed having channel length of 40 nm in Athena and simulated in Atlas of Silvaco TCAD tool. After simulation results, it has been observed that as the threshold implant and halo implant concentrations are increased, there is a decrease in both off-state sub-threshold leakage and substrate current as required for an ideal MOSFET. Other parameters like ON current, DIBL, and threshold voltage have also been estimated.

Abstract

Most of the time people face problems, while navigating to a desired location of their choice in an unknown area. In order to help the people (pedestrians) from such a dilemma situation, an effective user friendly method was proposed by designing the technology in such a way that a developed system can help/ guide the visitors with the proper instructions either by playing audio route information or route map display (Azuma, 1997). The system is developed to behave as an intelligent Robot. This system could be used mainly in shopping malls, colleges, hospitals, museums, and industries for a simple and easy approaching method for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). The Indoor Navigation Robot (INR) is developed by considering the college point of view, where a new visitor can find respective departments, canteen, library, etc. The Robot recognizes the input voice command with the help of Voice Module. The guidance for visitors will be done in two methods. The first method uses audio player which consists of Voice Recognition Module and Audio Player Recorder; both utilize the predefined voice data for their operation. The second method uses route map display, which is achieved by interfacing the Robot to MATLAB software tool on computer with the help of wireless technology (ZigBee module). The Indoor Navigation Robot has an advanced feature for security, which captures the new visitors' face and stores the captured images into database for further process. The Image will be stored in hard disc of system/Laptop. The stored image can be retrieved as and when required. The Robot has a flexible feature for displaying flash news, alert messages, and greeting messages on LCD screen through ZigBee module (10 m). This flexible feature of Robot allows the administrator to update the new information as and when required on LCD screen. The Robot takes in voice commands from the visitors and navigates by giving voice commands as well as by displaying the route map on the laptop screen, and moves with the visitor to the desired destination. This research work is useful for people who are unable to understand new location and bounded surroundings.
