Study of Probabilistic Neural Network and Feed Forward Back Propogation Neural Network for Identification of Characters in License Plate
Abstract
The task of vehicle identification can be solved by vehicle license plate recognition. It can be used in many applications such as entrance admission, security, parking control, airport or harbor cargo control, road traffic control, speed control and so on. Different Neural Network for character identification like Probabilistic Neural Network and Feed-Forward Back-propagation Neural Network has been used and compared. This paper proposes the use of Sobel operator to identify the edges in the image and to extract the License plate. After extraction of license plate the characters are isolated and passed to character identification system. The method used to identify characters are Probabilistic Neural Network with 108 neurons which gives accuracy of 91.32%, Probabilistic Neural Network with 35 neurons which gives accuracy of 96.73% and Feed Forward Back Propagation Neural Network which gives accuracy of 96.73%.

Efficient Minimization of Servo Lag Error in Adaptive Optics Using Data Stream Mining
Abstract
Prediction of the wavefronts helps in reducing the servo lag error in adaptive optics caused by finite time delays (~ 1-5 ms) before wavefront correction. Piecewise linear segmentation based prediction is not suitable in cases where the turbulence statistics of the atmosphere are fluctuating. In this paper, we address this problem by real time control of the prediction parameters through the application of data stream mining on wavefront sensor data obtained in real-time. Numerical experiments suggest that pixel-wise prediction of phase screens and slope extrapolation techniques lead to similar improvement while modal prediction is sensitive to the number of moments used and can yield better results with optimum number of modes.

A Novel Approach for Prevention of SQL Injection Attacks Using Cryptography and Access Control Policies
Abstract
In this era of social and technological development, SQL injection attacks are one of the major securities in Web applications. They allow attackers to obtain an unrestricted and easy access to the databases to gain valuable information. Although many researchers have proposed various effective and useful methods to address the SQL injection problems, all the proposed approaches either fail to address the broader scope of the problem or have limitations that prevent their use and adoption or cannot be applied to some crucial scenarios. In this paper we propose a global solution to the SQL injection attacks by providing strong encryption techniques and policy based access control mechanism on the application information. We initially encrypt the message using an encryption engine in the server before we store the values into the database with Policy-based Access Control, data is stored in the encrypted form and while accessing it again we decrypt them and provide the data for the user in a secured manner with the control of policy based access.

IMC Design Based Optimal Tuning of a PID-Filter Governor Controller for Hydro Power Plant
Abstract
In the present paper a PID-Filter governor controller with Internal Model Control (IMC) tuning method for the hydro electric power plant is presented. The IMC has a single tuning parameter to adjust the performance and robustness of the controller. The proposed tuning method is very efficient in controlling the overshoot, stability and the dynamics of the speed-governing system of the hydro electric power plant supplying an isolated/grid connected load. The results of the proposed IMC tuning method have been compared in the midst of controller with singular frequency (SF) based tuning and Ziegler-Nichols (Z-N) closed loop tuning. A remarkable improvement in stability of the system has been observed with IMC tuning justifying its applicability. Simulated results given in the paper show the feasibility and versatility of the IMC tuning technique in hydro power plant.

Thermal and Flicker Noise Modelling of a Double Gate MOSFET
Abstract
The most promising device in the Nano scale range are based on multiple gate structures such as double- gate (DG) MOSFETs. These devices could be used for high frequency applications due to the significant increase of the transition frequency f T for these devices. For low noise radiofrequency applications, high frequency noise models are required. In this paper, compact channel noise models valid in all regions of operation for Double Gate (DG) MOSFETs have been developed and experimentally verified. Our compact channel noise model of a DG MOSFET includes the physics based expressions for thermal noise, flicker noise and the corner frequency. Using this model the DG MOSFET noise performances are studied.

Optimizing Resource Sharing in Cloud Computing
Abstract
The cloud computing is the dynamic provisioning of IT capabilities such as hardware, software or services, from third parties over a network. Resource sharing in the cloud Computing environment is the major issues that limited application of the cloud computing. The problem of enabling effective peer-to-peer resource sharing in this types of networks the availability of a wireless infrastructure and broadcast nature of wireless communication. Which bring to the notions of location awareness and MAC layer cross-layering. Through extensive packet-level simulations, I have investigated the separate effects of location awareness and MAC layer cross-layering, the performance of the P2P application. The combined protocol Optimizing Resource Sharing In Cloud Computing (ORSCC), reduces message overhead of as much as 40 percent with respect to the existing design, while at the same time improving the information retrieval performance. Notably, differently from the existing design, our proposed ORSCC specialization displays information retrieval performance resilient to the presence of both CBR and TCP background traffic.

Design of Controller for an Interline Power Flow Controller and Simulation in MATLAB
Abstract
The Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) a concept for the compensation and effective power flow management of multi-line transmission systems. In its general form, the IPFC employs two or more number of inverters (VSI) with a common dc link, each to provide series compensation for a selected line of the transmission system. Because of the common dc link, any inverter within the IPFC is able to transfer real power to any other and thereby facilitate real power transfer among the lines of the transmission system. Since each inverter is also able to provide reactive power compensation, the IPFC is able to carry out an overall real and reactive power compensation of the total transmission system. This capability makes it possible to equalize both real and reactive power flow between the lines, transfer power from overloaded to under loaded lines, compensate against reactive voltage drops and the corresponding reactive line power, and to increase the effectiveness of the compensating system against dynamic disturbances. The paper explains the basic theory and operating characteristics of the IPFC with phasor diagrams, and simulated waveforms in MATLAB.

Harmonics Reduction and Amplitude Boosting in Polyphase Inverter Using 60° PWM Technique
Abstract
This paper deals with the reduction of harmonics & amplitude boosting in polyphase inverters using 60° PWM technique. Using 60° PWM technique total harmonic distortion of output voltage is greatly reduced when compared with 180° and 120° degree mode of conduction techniques. All the triple harmonics present in the output voltage is eliminated so that required filter size can be reduced. The amplitude of output voltage is also augmented as compared to SPWM technique. The results from a MATLAB simulation done for a polyphase inverter to obtain 3-Φ, 445V (peak), 50Hz sinusoidal supply using 60° PWM is used to substantiate this study.

Reliable Barrier-Free Services (RBS) for Heterogeneous Next Generation Network
Abstract
Next Generation Network (NGN) represents a fundamental paradigm shift in the wireless communication which uses packet switching instead of circuit switching. NGN is an architecture that provides seamless integration of both new and traditional telecommunication services across high-speed packet networks. Heterogeneous network (HN) is the group of network which integrated with wired, wireless and sensory network with internet connectivity. Combination of HN and NGN (HNGN) will offers highly reliable services at all situation. Implementing protocols such as TCP is much complicate in the heterogeneous network environment. The objective of this paper is providing an assured, reliable data transmission in the HNGN. Data transmission in HNGN renders ineffective communication due to barrier when implementing different network protocols. The proposed methodology, called Reliable Barrier-Free Services (RBS) optimizes the reliability of HNGN.

Customized NoC Topologies Construction for High Performance Communication Architectures
Abstract
Different Intellectual Property (IP) cores, including processor and memory, are interconnected to build a typical System-on-Chip(SoC) architectures. Larger SoC designs dictate the data communication to happen over the global interconnects. Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures have been proposed as a scalable solution to the global communication challenges in nanoscale Systemson- Chip (SoC) design. Hence to improve the performance of SoC, first we did a performance study of regular interconnect topologies MESH, TORUS, BFT and EBFT, we observed that the overall latency and throughput of the EBFT is better compared to other topologies. Our next objective is to generate an area and power optimized NoC topology, for this purpose we used Rectilinear-Steiner- Tree (RST)-based algorithms for generating efficient and optimized network topologies. Experimental results on a variety of NoC benchmarks showed that our synthesis results were achieve reduction in power consumption and average hop count over custom topology implementation.

Improving CPU Performance and Equalizing Power Consumption for Multicore Processors in Agent Based Process Scheduling
Abstract
In a Multicore architecture, each package consists of large number of processors. This increase in processor core brings new evolution in parallel computing. Besides enormous performance enhancement, this multicore package injects lot of challenges and opportunities on the operating system scheduling point of view. We know that multiagent system is concerned with the development and analysis of optimization problems. In this paper we combine the AMAS theory of multiagent system with the scheduler of operating system to develop a new process scheduling algorithm for multicore architecture. This multiagent based scheduling algorithm promises in minimizing the average waiting time of the processes in the centralized queue, reduces the task of the scheduler and also increases cpu performance. Because of round robin scheduling, the power consumption for each processor can be equalized. We actually modified and simulated the linux 2.6.11 kernel process scheduler to incorporate the multiagent system concept. The comparison is made for different number of cores with multiple combinations of process and the results are shown for average waiting time Vs number of cores in the centralized queue and cpu performance Vs number of process and cores.

Design of High Sensitivity SOI Piezoresistive MEMS Pressure Sensor
Abstract
In this paper, the effect of the size of the piezoresistors that forms the Wheatstone bridge on sensitivity has been studied and reported. There are four resistors implanted on the diaphragm in such a way that two of them sense the tensile stress (Group I) and the other two senses the compressive stresses (Group II). The structure of this MEMS sensor has been created and analyzed using IntelliSuite MEMS CAD tool. The results show that the size of the group I resistors should be made as large as possible and that of group II should be made as small as possible to achieve maximum sensitivity. It is also illustrated that the size design of group II resistors is critical.

Power Factor Correction in Wound Rotor Induction Motor Drive by Using Dynamic Capacitor
Abstract
The paper proposes a novel method for improving performance of a Three Phase wound rotor induction motor using an indirect reactive current control scheme in the rotor. A 3 Φ VSI with a dynamic capacitor is connected in the rotor circuit for controlling the reactive current in the rotor. The dynamic capacitor is an H bridge switch with a capacitor in which the duty ratio of the Hbridge circuit is varied in order to change the capacitance value dynamically. The proposed technique is simulated in MATLAB 7.6 / Simulink environment. The result that obtained from the proposed method is compared with secondary impedance control scheme and the performance parameters such as the torque, power factor and efficiency are obtained.
