Vol 7, No 1 (2022): A Study on Algorithm for Mobility-Based Clusterhead and Gateway Selection in Mobile Ad Hoc Network
Authors:-Â Dr. Abhishek Bhaskar, Aditya Gautam, Alok Kumar
Abstract:-Â Mobile computing has received a lot of interest recently due to the availability of a range of mobile terminals and simple wireless connectivity. A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that communicate over a limited bandwidth. Because network topology can vary fast and predictably over time, each node must work together to implement a communication routing protocol that facilitates network discovery, ensures message delivery, and identifies unsuccessful message delivery attempts. Because the movement of mobile nodes in MANET is arbitrary, the network topology may change swiftly and arbitrarily at unknown moments, resulting in both unidirectional and bidirectional linkages. The unexpected behaviour of nodes leads cluster life to be unstable. The majority of clustering techniques assume minimal mobility, which does not represent the dynamic nature of MANETs. Mobility is an important attribute of a cluster in a mobile ad hoc network, particularly during cluster creation and clusterhead election.

Authors:-Â Alka Bhonsala, Vidya Singh, Kajal Pathak
Abstract:-Â To improve the energy efficiency of routes in multi - hop wireless networks, a variety of energy-aware routing protocols have been suggested. Several geographically localised routing methods were suggested among them to aid in making wiser routing decisions using just local information and to decrease routing overhead. However, none of the offered localised routing algorithms can ensure their routes' energy efficiency.
We begin with a basic localised routing algorithm called Localized Energy-Aware Restricted Neighbourhood Routing (LEARN), which may guarantee the energy efficiency of its route if it is successful in finding it. We then theoretically investigate its essential transmission radius in random networks, which can guarantee that LEARN routing finds a route asymptotically virtually always.
We also extend the suggested routing to three-dimensional (3D) networks and simulate them using the NS2 (network simulator 2) tool.

Vol 6, No 1 (2021): A Study on Accidental and Theft Systems for Two Wheelers
Authors : Abhinav Shukla, Aditya Pandit
Abstract: eople all throughout the world are increasingly using automobiles, particularly motorcycles, as their primary mode of mobility. Aside from the increase in motorcycle users, motorcycle robbery has been on the rise for quite some time. In this regard, a framework for motorbike burglary anticipation that is less demanding and faster has been developed. The customer of this framework will be notified via an alert if the motorcycle is transferred to a long distance or if any cables are disconnected and stolen. Bike theft is readily detected using Raspberry Pi Technology, which uses hardware-based relay operations that are linked to software in a mobile application. Whenever the bike is attempted to be stolen or escapes without being seen by the user, the relay circuit in the bike activates and emits a buzzer sound with bright illumination, indicating an alarm to the user in his/her mobile application. Another system concept was to notify a relative user in the event of a bike collision in any situation and to indicate fuel levels in two-wheelers in litres. Both systems are reliant on smartphone applications such as blynk and Google Assistant, which allows the user to issue an alarm to the user who is grappling with an accident. A gyroscope mounted on the bike sends signals to the Raspberry Pi, which sends notifications to the rider at any moment. In the other instance, if the user is not injured, he or she can reset the system's functionality. Finally, users may have difficulties determining trip plans due to the analogue depiction of gasoline in a two-wheeler. So, in this system, ultrasonic technology installed in the bike at the fuel tank lid monitors the gasoline level in the bike and provides the data to the user via the same mobile application using a Raspberry Pi.

Vol 5, No 1 (2020): Automated Speed Control Using Throttle Valve
Author: Dr L. Suresh Kumar.
Abstract: Intelligent instruments are used in every part of our lives. It won’t take much time to realize that most of our tasks are being done by Electronics. They will perform one of the most complicated tasks that a person does in a day, that of driving a vehicle. As the days of manned driving are getting extremely numbered, so are those of traffic jams, dangerous and rough drivers and more importantly, accidents. According to Mr Willie D. Jones in the IEEE SPECTRUM magazine (September 2001), a person dies in a car crash every second. Automation of the driving control of vehicles is one of the most vital needs of the hour. This technology can very well implement what was absent before, controlled lane driving.
The ultimate aim of this project is to automatically control the speed of the vehicles at speed restricted areas such as school and hospital zone etc. This project is mainly developed to avoid accidents due to high speed vehicles and also to enable the public to cross the road without any danger from high speed vehicles. Usually the drivers drive the vehicles at high speed without considering the public in speed limited areas too. Even though the traffic police control them we cannot achieve full response from them. Also it is not possible to monitor those areas at all time to regulate their speed. Thus this project paves way for controlling the speed of the vehicles within certain limit in those restricted zones without the interruption of the drivers. Here we use RF communication method for controlling purpose. In order to implement this in public then we want to attach the RF receiver along with the vehicle and the Transmitter with these Zones. These transmitters are programmed to send the coded signals continuously with certain delay in between. Whenever the vehicles enter into these zones their receivers will receive this code and then the speed of the vehicles is controlled automatically by taking control action in the throttle valve. This will reduce the over speed to the desired speed limit.

Vol 4, No 2 (2019): Asset Management Strategy for Distribution Transformers in Indian Power Utilities
Authors : Narasimha Pandit, R.L.Chakrasali
Abstract: Distribution Transformer (DT) is the heart of a power distribution system. The DTs, especially of ratings 25 kVA to 250 kVA, are large in number in Indian power distribution utilities and most of these are old transformers, with high No load losses and Load losses. They fail frequently predominantly due to ageing, overload, and poor maintenance, causing huge monetary loss to the utilities and power interruptions to the customers. As it is most economical and faster way of restoring power supply to the affected area and customers, the failed DTs are repaired and put into service again, instead of providing a new DT there. Frequent failure and repair has led to the DTs losing their functionality, and maintainability. The DTs are also showing operational issues in terms of huge losses. A study is done in this paper, to find out the effect of replacing all these old Repaired Good DTs (RGDTs) by Amorphous Metal core DTs (AMDTs), on the net saving in system losses. This kind of asset management strategy, which is usually performed for large power transformers, is carried out for DTs in this paper, with thorough analysis and calculation of payback period. The study revealed encouraging results.

Vol 4, No 2 (2019): “Evaluation of Transfer Function of Power Transformer Using SFRA Technique
Author: Akanksha Khare Shrivastava
Abstract: Transformer is one of the most basic units in modern power system. The use of ferrite core gives an improvement in this direction since it has very high permeability because of which it can withstand higher voltages at reduced physical sizes. Attention has also been given to the fact that at which frequency the transformer works best, i.e. amplifies the input the most. This can be useful while using ferrite core in testing transformers. The transformer windings compose an electrical network in the space. This network must necessarily have a transfer function. By evaluating this transfer function, we can have a good understanding of the transformer windings and equivalent network which have several meshes depending upon order of transfer function. .When a fault occurs, the windings get displaced and in-turn the distribution of impedance parameters gets disturbed. Transfer function through analyzed by Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) of power transformer characteristics.

Authors : Digamber Nath Tiwari, Savita Panday
Abstract: A typical common source cascode low-noise amplifier (CS-LNA) can be treated as a CS-CG two stage amplifier. In the published literature, an inductor is added at the drain of the main transistor to reduce the noise contribution of the cascode transistors. In this work, an inductor connected at the gate of the cascode transistor and capacitive cross-coupling are strategically combined to reduce the noise and the nonlinearity influences of the cascode transistors in a differential cascode CS-LNA. It uses a smaller noise reduction inductor compared with the conventional inductor based technique. It can reduce the noise, improve the linearity and also increase the voltage gain of the LNA. The proposed technique is theoretically formulated. Furthermore, as a proof of concept, a 2.4 GHz inductively degenerated CS-LNA was fabricated using TSMC 0.18 m CMOS technology. The resulting LNA achieves 1.92 dB noise-figures with the core fully differential LNA at 1.8 V power supply.

Vol 4, No 2 (2019): Bit Error Control and Execution Investigation of MIMO-OFDM Techniques
Authors: Roger Ghanem, Limin Zhang
Abstract: The main objective of the MIMO-OFDM system is to add OMDM technology with the techniques of OMDO technology. Increasing demand for multimedia services and the development of Internet-related content increases interest in high-speed communication. OFDM is a type of multichannel modulation that divides the same channel into several parallel sub-channels or suborders so that many symbols can be sent in parallel. OFDM system spreads the information over number of transporters which are at particular predefined frequencies. This diminishes or eliminates the ISI. Forward blunder amendment or channel coding is a strategy utilized for controlling mistakes in information transmission over inconsistent or boisterous correspondence channels. The goal of our proposed paper is to execute the FEC into the MIMO OFDM frameworks and its execution is dissected by utilizing MATLAB over various blurring channels. For adjustment it utilizes M-QAM which consolidates both ASK and PSK along these lines empowering a few bits to be transmitted per image.

Vol 3, No 2 (2018): Design of a Multiplier Architecture Based On VHBCSE Algorithm for Fir Filter
Author:Â Dr. J. Jasper Gnana Chandran, K. Mathew
Abstract:Â The aim of the intended work is to design an efficient multiplier architecture based Upon Vertical Horizontal Binary Common Subexpression Elimination (VHBCSE) algorithm for FIR filter synthesis. In any FIR filter, the multiplier is the major constraint which defines the performance of desired filter. Binary Common Subexpression Elimination (BCSE) algorithm introduces the concept of eliminating the Common Subexpression (CS) in binary form for designing an efficient multiplier with low complexity. In VHBCSE, horizontal BCSE algorithm utilizes CSs occurring within each coefficient to get rid of redundant computations, while vertical BCSE uses CSs found across adjacent coefficients to eliminate redundant computations. A 2- bit vertical BCSE has been applied first on the adjacent coefficient, followed by 4 bit and 8 bit horizontal BCSEs to reduce the number of adders required in the multiplier of FIR filters. As a result, the proposed multiplier offers good reduction in the number of adders in realizing FIR filters. The proposed scheme is coded in Verilog language and simulation is performed using Xilinx ISE 13.4.

Authors:Â Hamsini B R, Rukmini A G, Suprita P Kulkarni, Sushma S, J N Hemalatha
Abstract: The modern farm tractor makes so many of the meals served in our country possible. So, although increasing productivity and reducing emissions will require the adoption of new methods, modern farming technology is more than ready to tackle the challenge. Safer tractor operations and the use of protective equipment could prevent many of the deaths and injuries involving tractors. Owners, managers, and tractor operators all play a major role in making tractor operations safer. Owners have responsibilities for providing a safer environment and safer equipment. Managers coordinate maintenance designed to ensure the safety of equipment, as well as safety policies and programs. The final responsibility for making the operation of tractors safer lies with the tractor operators themselves. It's often only when an incident occurs that people become focused on what might have prevented injury or loss of life.Making a tractor with good efficiency with optimum cost is a challenge. This can be done only when each component present in an independent hybrid tractor works reliably and these components must have long life. Design and selection of the components thus plays an important role. Our idea of independent-hybrid quarter scale tractor aims to cater the fuel efficiency norm as well as make an efficient system for the farmers to handle their various tasks. With the concept of Combustion engine running on gasoline along with the electric motor as the secondary source, energy management becomes an integral part of the design. In a parallel hybrid electric vehicle the single electric motor and the internal combustion engine are installed to deliver power in parallel to drive the wheels. As both the engine and electric motor are connected to the drive shaft through a mechanical coupling, they can propel the vehicle by the engine alone, by the motor alone, or by both together. The electric motor can be used as a generator to charge the energy storage devices (battery or ultracapacitors) by regeneration braking or by extra power from the engine. As the engine is connected to the wheels via mechanical coupling, it makes this type hybrid quite efficient on the highway. In addition, a parallel hybrid vehicle only needs two propulsion devices – engine and electric motor, which makes the system very compact.

Abstract: In the last decade, solving the Sudoku puzzle has become every one’s passion. The simplicity of puzzle’s structure and the low requirement of mathematical skills caused people to have enormous interest in accepting challenges to solve the puzzle. Therefore, developers have tried to find algorithms in order to generate the variety of puzzles for human players so that they could be even solved by computer programming. In this essay, we have presented an algorithm called pencil-and-paper using human strategies. The purpose is to implement a more efficient algorithm and then compare it with another Sudoku solver named as brute force algorithm. This algorithm is a general algorithm that can be employed in to any problems. The results have proved that the pencil-and-paper algorithm solves the puzzle faster and more effective than the brute force algorithm.

Authors:Â Mohammad Shahabuddin, Mohammed Asim, M.A.Mallick
Abstract:Â The utilisation of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy to power water pumps is today an emerging technology, characterised by gradually declining costs and increasing acquaintance with the technology. Since the first installations in the end of the seventies, solar water pumping systems for providing domestic, livestock and irrigation water supplies in remote areas have gained enormously in acceptance, reliability and performance and nowadays belong most significant applications of photovoltaic energy [8]. Utilities are finding it more economical to use a photovoltaic powered pump than to provide and maintain a distribution line to remote area. In this work MATLAB simulink software is used for modeling PV cell which is further modified to develop a PV array model [4].Shading is created when a physical object such as tree, cloud and a telephone pole is physically obstructing the sunlight ,creating shadow on the photovoltaic array which affects the response of the whole system. The output declines proportionally to the amount of shading [9]. A small amount of shading can have huge impact on the performance of the solar photovoltaic panel system. If the entire cell is shaded, then no current will flow through the cell and its voltage output will collapse.

Authors:Â John George Victor, Prof. M Sunil Prakash
Abstract:Â With the rapid advances in VLSI Technology, design of digital circuits with high speed, low power consumption, high throughput and optimized area is a great challenge for an integrated circuit designer. In Digital design adders are key components, where they perform various functions like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Multi-bit width adders are required in Very Large-Scale Integrated circuits (VLSI) for processing of microcontrollers, microprocessors, data processing, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Digital signal processors. In this Paper various adder cells such as CCMOS, CPL, Hybrid Adder, GDI and proposed GDI full adder cells are analyzed and compared with respect to Delay, Power Dissipation, Power Delay Product and Area. The Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) technique has been used for generation of digital logic functions. This technique is compared with other full adder techniques which allow less power consumption and reduced propagation delay with minimum number of transistors. The speed of the circuit is limited by size of the transistors, parasitic capacitance and delay. An important parameter that evaluates circuit performance is Power Delay Product (PDP) which depends on power consumption and speed. Simulations are performed by Mentor graphics 130nm CMOS technology ELDO simulator. Performance is compared by varying power supply voltages. The analysis has been done on the basis of propagation delay, power consumption and power delay product. Reduction in power-delay product is achieved by the proposed GDI technique.

Vol 1, No 1 (2016): Synchronization Control of a Microgrid using Network Based Co-ordination Control Technique
Authors:Â R. S. Kadam , Mr. S. S. Hirve
Abstract:Â A microgrid comprises of multiple distributed generators (DGs) and typically operates in parallel with this main grid. In certain cases this operation might fail and a microgrid may operate in an islanded mode. Synchronization occurs when such an islanded microgrid changes its operational mode back to grid connected operation by reconnection to the grid. Synchronizer used for synchronization of a single machine but a large microgrid which operates with multiple DGs and loads traditional synchronizer cannot be used to control it. This problem needs to be handled properly as it requires DGs to be controlled in a co-ordinated way to achieve synchronization. This paper presents work done on an active synchronizing control scheme which follows the network-based coordinated control of multiple DGs. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink prove that the scheme is efficient enough to provide reliability in the reconnection of the microgrid.
