Lung field segmentation is a prerequisite for the development of automated computer aided diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases from chest high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images. The traditional threshold-based or region growing methods tends to fail when dense pathology is present in the lung field. In such cases, it is found that prior shape knowledge increases the efficiency and accuracy...
This manuscript presents a various configuration of High Voltage Circuit Breaker (HVCB) operating mechanisms. As need of electrical power transmission system increases the use of circuit breakers (CB) also increased with high breaking capacity. With this context, this paper deals about operating mechanism (OM) in HVCB, opening and closing operation with control action. Moreover this review extensively...
The haptic illusion based force feedback, known as pseudo-haptics, is used to simulate haptic explorations, such as stiffness, without using a force feedback device. There are many computer mouse based pseudo-haptics work reported in the literature. However, none has explored the mechanics of the pseudohaptics. The objective of this paper is to derive an analytical relation between the displacement...
Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are seen as the future of the automotive industry with its aim to replace the conventional combustion engine vehicle. The conventional Multi-Input Multi-Output topology used in the electric and hybrid electric vehicle applications. The weaknesses of this topology are the complexity of circuit which increases the size of the converter and overall cost...
Fall has become a serious medical problem, and sometimes leading to physical disabilities and death. This led researchers to pursue automatic monitoring systems for detecting the falls before they occur. Much of the existing efforts have successfully achieved a hardware system which provides a fall pattern after and prior to the fall. However, the existing fall detection systems are still deficient...
Streaming Media is a multimedia that is presented to an end user which is constantly received by while being delivered by a provider. Amazon Web Service (AWS) is a collection of remote computing services (also called web services) that together make up a Cloud computing platform, offered over the Internet by Amazon.com. The most central and well-known of these services are Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3...
A compact offset coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed dual polarized stubs loaded L-shaped branch monopole antenna for quad-band operation is presented. A resonant mode at 2.48 GHz is generated by adding an inverted L-shaped branch in the offset CPW-fed monopole and other three resonant modes at 3.41/4.96/7.45 GHz are generated by integrating asymmetrical long/middle/asymmetrical inverted short L-shaped stubs...
This paper presents a wearable aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna for Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM band) applications. In the proposed work, wearable material such as jeans is used as the feed substrate and wash cotton is used as the antenna substrate. The antenna operates in the ISM frequency band of 2.40–2.48 GHz, with the impedance bandwidth of 80 MHz (|S11| < −10 dB). The...
A compact microstrip patch antenna (RMPA) using shorting pin is based on the introducing rectangular slot in the ground plane is proposed for useful current miniaturized wireless communication system and designed in this paper. This modified antenna to have characteristics of wideband operation, enhance bandwidth, along with reducing the size and improved gain. A meandered probe-fed rectangular shaped...
A compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed F-shaped stub printed antenna is presented. The first and second resonance modes are excited due to F-shaped stub connected to modified CPW ground plane and third resonance mode due to modified L-shaped CPW feeding. The impedance bandwidths of 190 MHz (2.06–2.25 GHz) for UMTS band, 530 MHz (4.61–5.14 GHz) for 4.9 GHz public safety WLAN, 1490 MHz (5.45–6.94 GHz)...
A wideband/multiresonance monopole antenna with multiple notched stop bands is presented. A multiresonance characteristic 2.6–22 GHz is achieved by modifying ground plane and three notched stop bands at 3.36–4.11, 5.15–5.79, and 7.96–8.50 GHz are achieved by introducing three co-directional split ring resonators (SRRs) in the radiating patch. The individual notch frequency is controlled by the individual...
A compact triple-band two-element multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is presented for WiMAX/WLAN applications. The MIMO antenna is designed on Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate and composed by one T-shaped stub and two asymmetrical inverted L-shaped stubs loaded rectangular monopoles placed orthogonally at a distance of 10 mm to achieve triple operating bands, high isolation and optimum diversity...
Some of the major challenges while developing a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) related to BCI (Brain Computer Interface) applications is to increase the network lifetime and minimize the power consumption. An energy efficient and transmission reliable Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol can be used to address the above problems by modifying certain control parameters. Past study reveals that there...
Internet of Things (IoT) cloud networks is itself a pervasive idea where all the physical objects are connected over the internet and are allocated with special self-identifying ability to discover other potential objects to transmit data over the internet. The most important shortcoming of IoT cloud networks which needs immediate addressing is the issue of IoT nodes when used within a virtual network...
The limited capabilities of Internet of Things (IoT) devices make real-time video streaming a major challenge. Video encoding and transmission are computationally intensive processes. Applications; like urban surveillance and health care monitoring, require real-time high definition video streams. Current video encoders are not designed to meet these requirements, thus alternative architectures, algorithms...
Cloud computing is a distributed system which gives the facilities of resource sharing and coordinates over different topographical areas. Because of its dynamic and heterogeneous nature of the virtual machine, the virtual machine scheduling is a complicated job in cloud computing. In recent past, bacterial foraging has come into views as a worldwide maximization algorithm for control and optimization...
The present study attempts to develop a machine vision system for continuous monitoring of grades of iron ores during transportation through conveyor belts. The machine vision system was developed using the support vector regression (SVR) algorithm. A radial basis function (RBF) kernel was used for the development of optimized hyperplane by transforming input space into large dimensional feature space...

“Osteoporosis” is the state of an individual having low bone mineral density (BMD) and in this way it get to be distinctly weaker and inclined to break with no significant injury. In India, many individuals are experiencing this condition. Aim and objectives: The Main aim of this study to predict the future low bone mass in younger adults using Peripheral dual x-ray absorptiometry and also to find...
The macula is the part of the eye that helps to provide us with our central vision. Diabetic Maculopathy is when the macula sustains some form of dames. DM is a blurring of one central vision. In this paper we have proposed algorithm for macula on retinal images by using fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm. The pre-processing stages of macula detection including image resizing, noise removal is performed...
