The aim of the study was to validate indigenously designed novel state-of-the-art wearable sensor technology (WST), the JUMP modules, against a more conventional optical motion tracking system. 16 healthy young participants were requested to walk at three different walking speeds (slow, normal and fast). Bland-Altman analysis revealed high — excellent levels of agreement for all the parameters, with...
Sundry studies dedicated to understanding the various aspects of Alzheimer's disease exists in literature, but the unfortunate reality today, is that there still exists no cure or diagnostic tools for the disease. Early diagnosis (or at worst mild cognitive state) increases the chances of treatment. Aided with the outputs of mass spectrometry technology, this study is hinged on protein expressions...
Efficient person identification is extremely desired in the digital era. One of the biometric techniques using the features of periocular region may provide efficient identification result. Periocular region is defined as surrounding of eye that is most discriminative region in nature for feature extraction in unconstrained and non cooperative environment. We have proposed an algorithm which defines...
Mass Spectrometry (Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption Time of Flight (SELDI-TOF) assay technique) for proteomics is based on the consistency and reproducibility of protein/peptide expressions. In this study, we opine that mining collections of mass spectra data instead of detailed study of individual ions generated in the course of Mass Spectrometer assay process, will generate discriminative factors...
Up to one third of the total annual global production of grain (cereals, oil seeds, and pulses) is lost primarily due to poor post-harvest management. Lack of control over grain moisture content, temperature and insect infestations are the three most significant factors causing this loss. High grain moisture and temperature provide favorable conditions for hotspot development, mold growth, and insect...
Wind tunnels used for testing purposes help in analysing the forces, pressure fields and the flow patterns of air around a test specimen. This helps improving the specimen body so as to optimize the performance in the actual working model. The tests conducted are at high as well as low velocity to simulate the natural working environment when the body is in motion in the fluid. This involves maintaining...
Present paper computes the interval-valued reliability of an engineering system in the context of the value of state performance. In this study, we have evaluated the interval-valued reliability of a 2-out-of-4 system with the help of reliability function. The considered model of 2-out-of-4 system consists of 2 numbers of components connected in series. The interval universal generating function technique...
Most of the communication techniques for telemetry applications are analog modulation techniques like PCM/FM in earlier years. Increased data rates and increased number of platforms requires more bandwidth efficient modulation techniques to avoid losses, interferences in information transfer. MSK has been introduced as part of continuous phase modulation technique and more bandwidth efficient technique...
The paper presents design and simulation of, one of the quantum reversible gates, the Feynman gate, using the single electron threshold logic gate. One of the most emerging areas in quantum computing is the application of reversible gates in computational circuits for increasing the computational efficiency. Here the presented approach combines the advantages of the single electron threshold logic...
This paper presents a novel converter for utility AC-high frequency AC boost converter for high power induction heating (IH), with in single-stage conversion. The proposed topology and applied control scheme improves the power quality at source side. The presented topology acts as a three-level multilevel boost rectifier cum PWM inverter. This reduce the stress across the switches and hence suitable...
This paper introduces a modified single-stage power factor correction (S2PFC) converter topology for high voltage, power and frequency (HVPF) applications which improves the power quality at utility AC side and at the load end. The modified proposed converter possess the ability of controlling the voltage and frequency independently and also simultaneously. The voltage can be controlled by PWM technique...
The present work seeks to develop a magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) system suitable for a low-speed wind tunnel, to support light-weight models through building-block design, development and experimentation. Design of an appropriate electrical circuit, design of components, results obtained by simulation (on ORCAD-PSPICE) and experimental results obtained through bench-tests are presented. A set of button-type...
The third generation light source NSLS-II was constructed at BNL, within the project a Booster ring commissioning was successfully completed [1]. Booster injection and extraction kicker magnets pulsed power supplies are considered in the paper. The injection pulsed supplies are capable of generating 0.7–1.5 kA current of 300 ns flat-top, 170 ns rise time, 170 ns fall time with ripples on the tail...
This paper demonstrates the detailed design of carry look ahead adder with the single electron tunneling based threshold logic. Tunneling is a mechanism in which a single electron can cross a sandwiched structure of insulating layer between two conducting materials known as tunnel junction. The threshold logic works mainly on the basis of the comparison in between the threshold and the weighted sum...
Object-oriented programming language has emerged as the most popular programming paradigm used for developing complex software products. The unique features of such language induce the software developers to designing of new tools. However, their improper use often inflicts redundant complexity of developed software. The latter results in implementation of the software product that is hard to debug...
Fuzzy set theory has been studied extensively over the past several decades. It has been applied to solve many real life problems including system reliability. In this paper we define rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets with their properties and present a new method for analyzing fuzzy reliability of different types of systems considering the reliability of the components as rough intuitionistic fuzzy...
The increasing demand for electrical and electronic systems has been driven by a number of application categories. The manufacturers are generally interested in improvement in performance and life of the system without loss of its reliability. Therefore, it is worthwhile to carefully estimate the reliability of the system. We know many times in real life situations, it is difficult to obtain the complete...
Flash lamps, in general, are used as intense source of broadband light in applications ranging from medicine, industry and physical sciences. One of its important uses is in optical pumping of amplifiers in solid-state lasers. Flash lamps work on the principle of arc discharge through an inert gas such as xenon or krypton. Main discharge through a flash lamp is preceded by partial discharge caused...
Modeling of level process in various tanks and vessels is one of the most common problems in the process industry. In this paper, system identification process is attempted for hybrid tank process. The hybrid tank process is a classic example of a highly nonlinear system. For nonlinear systems, System identification provides a better alternative to find their system transfer function. First principle...
In this paper, the shortcoming of NEMA definition for performance analysis of induction motor under supply voltage unbalance is presented. It gives a large range of performance variation. In order to make it suitable for the purpose the index is proposed, which along with NEMA definition can be utilized for the reduction of voltage variation and exact assessment of performance of induction motor....
