Abstract: Energy efficiency is one of the most important parameters for designing and building a computing system nowadays. Introduction of new transistor and memory technologies to the integrated circuits design have brought hope for low energy very large scale integration (VLSI) circuit design. This excellency is pleasant if the computing system is secure and the energy is not wasted through execution of malicious actions. In fact, it is required to make sure that the utilized transistor and memory devices function correctly and no error occurs in the system operation. In this regard, we propose a built-in-self-test architecture for security checking of the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device under malicious process variations attack. Also, a general identification technique is presented to investigate the behaviour and activities of the employed circuitries within this MTJ testing architecture. The presented identification technique tries to find any abnormal behaviour using the circuit current signal.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5404
Abstract: The high temperature superconductivity has a massive potential for technological use since its discovery. But the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity still remains hard to define; a lot of development has been made resulting in a major reduction in the number of proposed mechanisms under consideration. At present, electron phonon interaction or spin fluctuations are considered to be principal of the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity. While the transition temperature has not been improved over the last few years and we are unable to see room temperature superconductivity in near future, but many of the technological applications are still in use and being constantly improved. New materials with a better possibilities are also being discovered. This paper attempts to explain the progress made till know and shed light on the challenges of understanding the working of superconductors and achieving room temperature superconductivity.

By monitoring and automating with this prototype one can also improve quality, accuracy and precision.
Abstract: In the field of agriculture, use of proper method of irrigation is important because the main reason is the lack of rains & scarcity of land reservoir water. The continuous extraction of water from earth is reducing the water level due to which lot of land is coming slowly in the zones of un-irrigated land. Another very important reason of this is the unplanned use of water due to which significant amount of water goes to waste. For this purpose; we use this automatic plant irrigation system. This system derives power from solar energy through photo-voltaic cells. Hence, dependency on erratic commercial power is not required.

Abstract: Non-linear process control is a difficult problem in process industries. Conical tank level control is one among them. Conical tanks are widely used in many industries due to its shape which provides easy discharge of water when compared to other tanks. Moreover, liquid level control of a conical tank is still challenging for typical process control because of its nonlinearities by a reason of constantly changing cross section area. By using fuzzy logic, designers can realize lower development costs, superior features, and better end product performance. Fuzzy is often the very best way as they are faster and cheaper. One of successful application that used fuzzy control is liquid tank level control. The purpose of this project is to design a simulation system of fuzzy logic controller for liquid tank level control by using simulation package which is Fuzzy Logic Toolbox and Simulink in MATLAB software. In this paper the mathematical modeling of two non-interacting conical tanks by PID controller and fuzzy. In this paper, we take the liquid level water tank, and use MATLAB to design a Fuzzy Control. Then we analyze the control effect and compare it with the effect of PID controller. As a result of comparing, Fuzzy Control is superior to PID control. Especially it can give more attention to various parameters, such as the time of response, the error of steadying and overshoot. Comparison of the control results from these two systems indicated that the fuzzy logic controller significantly reduced overshoot and steady state error.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5408
Abstract: The success of privatization of most of the industries led people to think for the deregulation of electric power system. This results in restructuring of currently vertically integrated utility (VIU) to the different zones. Due to this worldwide deregulation or privatization process, the electricity industry has undergone drastic changes and has significantly affected energy markets. In a deregulated power market, the optimum power flow (OPF) for an interconnected grid system is an important concern as related to transmission loss and operating constraints of power network. The increased power transaction as related to increased demand and satisfaction of those demand to the competition of generation companies (GENCOs) are resulting the stress on power network which further causes the danger to voltage security, violation of limits of line flow, increase in the line losses, large requirement of reactive power, danger to power system stability and over load of the lines i.e. congestion of power in system. More often than not, pool market results originate network congestion in the transmission lines which is one of the technical problems that appear particularly in the deregulated environment. This paper reviews some of congestion management (CM) methods including generator rescheduling, FACTS devices and demand response. Each technique has its own significance and potential for management of congestion in a deregulated power system.
Keywords: Congestion, power system deregulation, generator rescheduling, FACTS devices, demand response.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5413
Abstract: The serious environmental pollution caused by internal combustion engines, together with the depletion of fossil fuels, has motivated global interest in eco-friendly energy. Notably, electric vehicle technology has been developed to reduce the use of fossil fuels in vehicles, which are the main fossil fuel consumers. As a result, hybrid electric vehicles that use both a combustion engine and an electric engine have already been widely commercialized. However, all-electric vehicles, such as plug-in electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles, are distributed narrowly at present owing to some battery-related drawbacks such as large size, heavy weight, high price, long charging time, and short driving range. These problems are not easily solved by current battery technology. In an effort to address battery problems, the concept of roadway-powered electric vehicles has been proposed. With this system, the electric vehicle is charged on the road by wireless power charging, and the battery can hence be downsized and no waiting time for charging is needed.

Bilal Alhayani, Haci Ilhan
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5414
Abstract: Hyper spectral Imaging produces an image where each pixel is having narrow spectral bands with plentiful spectral information. Spectral bands refer to the large number of measured wavelengths bands of Electromagnetic Spectrum. The large number of spectral bands in hyper spectral data increases the computational burden. So, dimensionality reduction through spectral feature selection thoroughly affects the accuracy of the classification. The applications of hyper spectral images require to process given data and achieve two fundamental goals: 1) detect and classify the constituent materials for each pixel in the scene; 2) reduce the data volume (dimensionality), without loss of useful information, so that it can be processed efficiently by a human. We used the technique of DRR (Dimensionality Reduction via Regression) an unsupervised method for dimensionality reduction.

Abstract: River navigation is the oldest means of transportation devised by humans. In inland waterways and in coastal protected areas even small boats have major role in transportation. The design proposal presented here is aimed at the implementation of „an advanced safety enhancement and real time tracking system for boats which utilizes the latest tracking and safety features possible with today‟s electronics. The entering of the persons to boat is restricted with the maximum number of person. If the maximum number is exceeded, then the engine will not start. Also the engine can start only by an authorized person for which a finger print authentication module is used. Using an RFID reader, we will make sure availability of sufficient life jackets. If the boat crosses the border then driver will be alerted by the GSM module. If any obstacles are near the boat, then the alarm signal will warn. In critical situations like high water levels caused by unwanted turbulence/tilt or other issues, number of passengers, a critical message will be sent to the control centre along with the boat location information. Using GSM, information is send to the control room at definite intervals of time. Or the driver itself could send emergency information by pressing an emergency switch. It also uses two interconnected water tanks which will be used to balance the structure whenever a deviation to a particular side will be detected. Boat tilting is identified by using MEMS accelerometer.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5417
Abstract: In present scenario, the use of non-conventional energy resources and non-linear loads in to the electric grid is been increasing and it has a adverse effect on power quality issues and also energy management. As a result there will be increase in harmonic distortion, frequent switching of load and hence the flicker formation. Power quality plays a major role in smart grid design and operation. The major reason behind this is, active participation of consumers in the power sector and increased usage of non-conventional energy resources in to the smart grid. This power grid must necessarily overcome the power quality challenges, So as to avoid barriers against introduction of new technology. This paper overviews the power quality problems and presents the controlling scheme using SPWM inverters and Shunt active power filters (APF) in order to enhance power quality in the smart grid.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5418
Abstract: Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) are extensively used in commercial and industrial heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R) equipment’s because of many advantages in control and energy savings. The ASDs use PWM inverter with high speed switching devices such as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) generates the common mode voltage (Vcm). This Vcm causes the bearing voltage (Vb), which leads to premature bearing failure.In some industrial applications the PWM inverters and the motors are located separately thus requiring long motor cable. Which contributes over voltage and higher Vcm at the motor terminal due to the voltage reflection phenomenon. Higher the common mode voltage results in higher induced Vb. This paper presents modeling, simulation and analysis of bearing current, bearing voltage in PWM multilevel inverter fed induction motor of 5HP and 10HP Motors and THD Analysis of PWM MLI fed induction motor without long cable is done. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB Simulink.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5421
Abstract: In this paper, scene based nonuniformity correction algorithms for the infrared images are discussed. The quality of infrared images gets affected due to spatial fixed pattern noise in IRFPA, and it is mainly caused by nonuniformity of the detectors’ pixel to pixel variation. For the infrared focal plane arrays image uniformity is necessary. To correct this nonuniformity, various methods are presented in recent years. Some of them i.e. NN-NUC, CS-NUC, IR-NUC and GE-NUC are discussed here. We concentrate on the main contributions of the methods and their advantages and disadvantages. Also we compare these methods to distinguish the better method to eliminate ghost artifacts.

Abstract: This research paper proposes the implementation of a system which can help the amputee torestore the utility of the lost limb by receiving electrical signal from the residual limb. Prosthetic devices substitute a missing or defective part of the body. Prosthetic devices have the ability to restore some mobility and functionality to the wearer. These can range from oral prostheses to limb prostheses. Limbs are often lost through trauma disease or a congenital disorder. Once the limb is removed, it can be very hard to resume to a normal life. Prosthetic limbs help give the amputee some sort of mobility that they would not have had without the device.A number of factors must be considered when selecting the right foot/feet for your lifestyle. These factors include amputation level, age, weight, foot size, activity level, goals and occupational needs. The focus of our research is to design a low-cost lower limb prosthetic, capable of knee movement in response to electrical signals from the residual limb.

Abstract: This paper deals with band pass filter which is located between up converter and modulator of uplink model for C band small satellite communication system that work digitally. The main theme of designing a digital FIR filter is to provide the better settlement solution, to improve an efficiency of the desired signal of the system and to allow adjustment of the compromise between the over shoot reduction and transition region width for practical application of the small satellite uplink system. Digital filter can be applied in speech processing applications, such as speech filtering, speech enhancement, noise reduction and automatic speech recognition among others. In this paper MATLAB Program is used to implement a band-pass FIR filter using adjustable window function based on blackmann window. The realization structure of this filter with a specific and symmetric filter coefficient is analysed and the symmetric coefficients of the filter structure are that this filter is stable, it is also linear and it has a constant group delay. And then the magnitude response and phase response of this filter are analysed and the simulation results are also described using FDA tool that is one of the Computer Aided Design tool available with MATLAB which enables design of the digital filter blocks faster and more accurate.

Reconstruction of Path using Compressive Sensing in Dynamic Wireless Sensor Network
Anand M
DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5429
Abstract: This paper presents CSPR, a compressive sensing based approach for path reconstruction in wireless sensor networks. By viewing the whole network as a path representation space, an arbitrary routing path can be represented by a path vector in the space. As path length is usually much smaller than the network size, such path vectors are sparse, i.e., the majority of elements are zeros. By encoding sparse path representation into packets, the path vector can be recovered from a small amount of packets using compressive sensing technique. CSPR formalizes the sparse path representation and enables accurate and efficient per-packet path reconstruction. CSPR is invulnerable to network dynamics and lossy links due to its distinct design. A set of optimization techniques are further proposed to improve the design. We evaluate CSPR in both testbed-based experiments and large scale trace-driven simulations. Evaluation results show that CSPR achieves high path recovery accuracy and outperforms the state-of the- art approaches in various network settings.

Abstract: As we know the computer systems use user IDs and passwords as the login patterns to authenticate users. So, many people share their login patterns with coworkers andrequest these coworkers to assist co-tasks, thereby making the pattern as one of theweakest points of computer security. The Insider attackers, the valid users of a system they attack the system internally, and so it’s hard to detect since most intrusion detection systemsand firewalls identify and isolate malicious behaviors. Some studies also claimed that analyzing system calls (SCs) generated by commands can identify these commands, with which to accurately detectattacks, and attack patterns are the features of an attack. Hence, in this paper, named as the Internal Intrusion Detection and Protection System,it is proposed to detect insider attacks at SC level by using data mining and forensic techniques. The IIDPS creates users personal profiles to keep track of users usage habits astheir forensic features and determines whether a valid login user is the account holder ornot by comparing his/her current computer usage behaviors with the patterns collectedin the account holders personal pro le. The experimental results demonstrate that the IIDPSs user identification accuracy is 94.29 percentage, whereas the response time is less than 0.45s, implying that it can prevent a protected system from insider attacks effectively and efficiently.

Abstract: Recent advances in distributed computing, embedded systems, communication, and sensor technology are pushing the development of many new applications. This trend is especially evident in pervasive Real-time functionality in life critical situations. Current high-performance embedded cameras combine video sensing, video processing, and communication within a single device, distributed data processing with load balancing provides local safety measures if system fails and data replication across several physical systems provides Capability to continue work even if several systems fail and also resume with previous settings and data on restart and Watchdog functionality. In this paper we focused these issues and developed intelligent embedded system modules which are distributed, well organized and modeled into an intelligent system architecture to control real-time traffic system, in this each module requests data from system as input, processes it independently and provides data as output, this offers data gathering from sensors – Actuating external actuators – Data processing – Service (logging etc.),Vehicle detection in video using Number plate location in video ,Car detection using microphone arrays, magnetic sensors and other sensors and Merging data for complex vehicle detection, calling emergency services, Controlling traffic lights.

Abstract: One of the best ways to obtain health information is from an electrocardiogram (ECG). Through an ECG, characteristics such as patients’ heartbeats, heart conditions, and heart disease can be analyzed. Unfortunately, most available healthcare devices do not provide clinical data such as information regarding patients’ heart activities. Many researchers have tried to solve this problem by inventing wearable heart monitoring systems with a chest strap or wrist band, but their performances were not feasible for practical applications. Thus, the aim of this study is to build a new system to monitor heart activity through ECG signals. The proposed system consists of an embedded hardware in an armband. It is considered to be a reliable, robust, and low-power-transmission ECG monitoring system. The reliability of this system was achieved by the careful placement of sensors in the arm band. IoT is used as the protocol for data transmission.

Abstract: Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. But while a tremor may be the most well known sign of Parkinson's disease, the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement. Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative condition, affecting an estimated four to six million people worldwide. This aim of this project is to develop a supporting unit for the patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease to help them carry out simple day to day activities without depending on any external help. The tremor stabilization unit uses the principle of a self balancing robot is made to assist the patients with Parkinson’s disease. An upper limb exoskeleton robot, the intelligent arm, which can control the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, was developed; aiming to support clinicians and patients with continued monitoring. This project will be helpful for the patients who are suffering from these mentioned problems. The prototype has three modes of operation. In the first mode doctor can monitor and control the duration of exercise and also receive feedback from patients. In the second mode the patient can do therapy himself with help of our system and doctor can observe the patient via feedback data. By analyzing this data doctor can determine patient’s health conditions as well as can give instructions according to the present condition of the patient. In the final mode, the tremor stabilization part is carried out.

Abstract: In this research paper we are proposing a method for extracting Thorium from rare earth minerals in the form of Thoria. It is found that the occurrence of Thorium in the earth is abundant than Uranium, then also the rate of extraction of Thorium, is minimal now a days. There are chemical reactions that can yield almost hundred percentage of Thorium as an extracted process but there is no formal industrial level of extraction process happening nowa days. In this paper we are proposing a process which can achieve almost 99.99% of thorium extraction from the earth minerals in industrial level.

DOI: 10.17148/IJIREEICE.2017.5436
Abstract: In this article recently developed novel swarm intelligence optimization technique is proposed called dragonfly algorithm based on swarming behaviors of dragonflies to solve distributed generation placement and sizing problem on IEEE 33 bus test case. The location and size of DGs are the control parameters, in order to minimize the total active power losses and voltage deviation and tomaximize voltage stability margin, using multi-objective function as weighted sum of each objective in distribution network. Three cases are considered where a new objective function is introduced in each case and combined multi-objective problem is solved. The results of optimization problems are compared to that found in literature.
