Institution and select the final year students as Engineers/ Management Trainees. The highest pay package offered to
the B Tech students (Batch 2005-2009) has been Rs 7.2 lakhs per annum by M/S NTPC Delhi.

As one of the National Institutes of Technology (NIT), the Institute has the responsibility of providing high quality
education in Engineering, Technology and Sciences to produce competent technical and scientific manpower for the
country. The Institute offers B Tech, M Tech, M Sc & Ph D programmes in the several disciplines of engineering,
technology and Sciences.

Vision
To build a rich intellectual potential embedded with interdisciplinary knowledge, human values and professional
ethics among the youth, aspirant of becoming engineers and technologists, so that they contribute to society and
create a niche for a successful career.

Mission
To become a leading and unique institution of higher learning, offering state-of-the-art education, research and
training in engineering and technology to students who are able and eager to become change agents for the industrial
and economic progress of the nation. To nurture and sustain an academic ambience conducive to the development
and growth of committed professionals for sustainable development of the nation and to accomplish its integration
into the global economy.

Department of Instrumentation & Control Engineering
The Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering commenced its Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech)
degree programme in 1990. Initially, the degrees were awarded by Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) Amritsar.
Subsequently, the Institute/Department was affiliated to the newly set-up Punjab Technical University for the period
July 1997 through October 2002. Since October 2002 the Institute has been accorded Deemed University Status
enjoying complete academic autonomy. Instrumentation and Control Engineering is a well-diversified discipline.
Many areas of specialization namely Process Instrumentation, Control Systems, Biomedical Engineering etc. have
grown by leaps and bounds and have emerged as full fledged disciplines in themselves. Training students in all these
areas is as an uphill and challenging task. Therefore, every effort has been made while developing curricula to
ensure full cognizance of all value elements among students. A holistic approach has been adopted while framing
curriculum, updating infrastructural facilities and improving coaching methods. The courses, which have not find a
berth in the core curriculum have been incorporated as elective courses. The teaching scheme has been enriched by
the valuable inputs of experts of respective fields from prestigious institutions / organizations such as IIT Roorkee
and IIT Delhi, R&D organizations like CSIO and leading industries of the region. All this has become possible with
the grant of Deemed-to-be-University status to the Institute. Now the Institute/Department has full academic
autonomy to frame its own curricula, implement a Credit Based semester system, devise a process of continuous
evaluation of students performance with total transparency and finalize Letter Grades of students. The Department
had submitted a proposal to AICTE to begin Post Graduate Programme in Control Systems. The sanction for the
same with an annual intake of 10-students was given to the Department in the year 2002. However, the admissions
could not be made due to absence of relevant guidelines from the MHRD, New Delhi. The Department now plans to
start afresh regular Post Graduate programmes. It is hoped that we shall get consent from MHRD New Delhi very
shortly. Further, the Department is consolidating its efforts to promote industrial research and consultancy in
appropriate areas of Instrumentation and Control Engineering. Besides teaching assignments, research activities in
emerging areas like Digital Control Systems including SCADA and PLC Distributed Control System Intelligent

Message from Chairperson, Board of Governors, NITJ

It is a matter of immense pleasures that Department of Instrumentation & Control Engineering in
association with Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering at Dr. B R Ambedkar
National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar is organizing International Conference on
Biomedical Engineering and Assistive Technologies (BEATs-2010), from December 17-19,
2010.

The breadth of knowledge in the life and physical sciences has grown exponentially, while
technology has become increasingly complex. At the same time, the business of delivering
quality health care has become increasingly difficult and expensive. Creating new, cost-effective
medical devices that improve patient care requires a collaborative approach that focuses on the
needs of patients, physicians and the health care industry as a whole. Indias thriving economy is
driving urbanization and creating an expanding middle class, with more disposable income to
spend on healthcare. To make India a global superpower by 2020, it is imperative that Indias
healthcare sector needs still higher growth rate. To take up the challenges posed to the Indian
health sector by opening up of the economy, it is essential that technological advancements
happening worldwide in this sector are deliberated upon at such conferences with regard to their
adoption in India. The organization of this conference is indeed a very timely initiative in this
regard.

I am sure that this confluence of academicians, researchers and industrialists shall serve as a
platform to synergize the thinking and will help India in maintaining the competitive edge in the
biomedical engineering and allied areas.

I look for a very successful and fruitful event in the form of BEATs-2010.

Welcome message by Organizing Secretary BEATs-2010

It gives me immense pleasure, to welcome you all, to International Conference on Biomedical
Engineering and Assistive Technologies-2010 (BEATS-2010) being held during December 17-
19, 2010 which is a joint venture of Department of Instrumentation & Control Engineering and
Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute
of Technology, Jalandhar.
Medical diagnosis and treatment has immensely benefited from the technical advances in last
millennium. As a consequence of technological innovations Medical Institutes have emerged as
forms of technological excellence. Just before turning to the present millennium, some
visionaries from communication, information technology and biomedical scientists, enthused
practicing physicians to evolve disciplines like e-medicine and telemedicine to meet healthcare
needs for the masses.
This conference will be one of the most enabling mechanisms to promote biomedical
engineering and assistive technologies, industry R&D and public private partnership
programmes including futuristic areas, transformational technology and product development for
healthcare.
Continued Innovation creates affordable healthcare technologies or products which do not exist
in Indian markets. This includes products which either needs modifications through re-
engineering; or product which exists, but affordable and cost effective versions are required;
and/or those products which exist, but their usage is limited due to lack of optimal transport and
storage conditions etc. Availability of affordable healthcare, thereby, is a challenge to the Indian
Health Care Providers. This conference is also directed towards budding biomedical engineers
who have an interest in the invention and early-stage development of new medical technologies.
I firmly hope and believe that deliberation and presentations during these three days of
conference would be fruitful in finding ways and means to tackle these issues. My best wishes to
all the delegates for a fruitful and productive time during the conference.

PaperID_124 Identification of fusion beats from ECG using artificial neural networks
Shahanaz Ayub and J. P. Saini
Abstract ECG i.e. Electrocardiogram represents electrical activity of the heart. When the ECG is abnormal, it is called
arrhythmia. Millions of ECGs are taken for the diagnosis of various classes of patients, where ECG can provide a lot of
information regarding the abnormality in the concerned patient are analysed by the physicians and interpreted depending upon
their experience. The interpretation may vary by physician to physician. Hence this work is all about the automation and
consistency in the analysis of the ECG signals so that they must be diagnosed and interpreted accurately irrespective of the
physicians. This would help to start an early treatment for the problems and many lives could be saved. Many works have been
done previously but this paper presents a new concept by application of MATLAB based tools in the same weighted neural
network algorithms. This will help to reduce the hardware requirements, make network more reliable and thus a hope to make it
feasible.To do so various networks were designed using the MATLAB based tools and parameters. Two classes of networks were
designed, but with different training algorithms, namely Perceptron and Backpropagation. They were provided training inputs
from the data obtained from the standard MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. After training different forms of networks, they were
tested by providing unknown inputs as patient data and the results in the whole process from training to testing were recorded in
the form of tables. There are many types of abnormalities in ECGs like Ventricular Premature Beats, asystole, Couplet,
Bigeminy, Fusion beats etc. In this paper only fusion beats have been discussed and so results associated with it only has been
given, though the same principle was used to make networks for analyzing normal as well as ventricular premature beats too. The
results for the fusion beats were best in the case of Feed Forward network algorithm. The percentage of correct classification is
96%. The results are compared with the previous work which concludes that the Feed Forward network with backpropagation
Trainbfg algorithm is best for fusion beats classification.

PaperID_139 Identification and classification of kidney stones using wavelets
Raksha Pat and Saurin Shah
Dharmsinh Desai University, Nadiad
Abstract-Medical images are now almost always gathered and stored in digital format for easy archiving, storage and
transmission, and to allow digital processing to improve diagnostic interpretation. This paper presents a method for kidney stone
characterization using wavelet transform. Generally in image processing wavelet is used to image denoising and compress the
image. In this paper we will apply different wavelets to different renal stone ultra scan images. Nine different types of renal
calculi have been identified based on their chemical composition. When ultrasound beams interact with stones, we will have
stone images. Ultrasound scanner is used to acquire renal stone image using balloon filled with water and renal stones of different
chemical compositions, suspended in it. These acquired images are then analyzed using MATLAB for identifying various content
and different features exist in wavelet sequences of the echo signals. Thus by this different extracted features we can develop a
computerized diagnosis system.

Abstract- In this research work we present an algorithm for the automated detection of ST deviation that can be useful in
diagnosing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) using electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. The technique is developed using Long
Term ST database (LTST DB). Preprocessing is carried out prior to the extraction of ST segment which includes noise filtering
using seven-point parabolic filter and then application of Wavelet Transform for QRS detection. The algorithm determines the R-
peak detection in large number of samples, and then estimates the ST segments relative level with respect to iso-electric level
using overlapping band selection method. It then compares the two levels, which is later used for ischemia detection. The
performance of the proposed solution was evaluated on 14 records from LTST database. We found that there is reasonable
amount of accuracy (98.5%) and it can therefore be concluded that the algorithm which have proposed can be used for most of
the practical purposes.

Abstract -This paper describes an algorithm for the automatic detection of R-waves in the electrocardiograph (ECG). The
proposed algorithm deals with the development of energy based technique for the detection of R-wave in ECG that is of great
importance in evaluating heart rate computation and serves as the basis for the extraction of other ECG features. The algorithm is
based on the mainly window based energy analysis of the ECG signal. This energy domain offers an easy interpretation of ECG
signal for the detection of R-waves in it. The areas under the ECG waveform where R waves are prominent appear as higher
energy zones. Thereafter, thresholding and refractory period concepts are used to eliminate unrelated peaks appearing as R-
waves. The proposed algorithm is equally applicable to ECG signals from modified lead-II as well as other leads. The algorithm
is easier to implement just after removal of the low frequency samples in ECG signal. ECG signals are collected from MIT-BIH
database and the algorithm is developed on the first five minute segment of each record.

PaperID_215 Classification of Heart Beats Using LVQ Neural Networks after Detection from Continuous ECG Signal,
Followed by Feature Extraction Using PCA: A Case Study
Amitabh Sharma, Tanushree Sharma
University College of Engineering, Rajasthan Technical University, Kota, Raj., India
Abstract-The ECG (electrocardiogram) signal provides a lot of valuable information about the condition of the heart. Many
cardiac problems are visible as distortions in the ECG. The analysis of heart beat cycles in an ECG signal is vital for long-term
monitoring of heart patients. However, in long-term monitoring, it is a very tedious and time-consuming task to analyze the ECG
recording beat by beat. This is because the abnormal heart beats can occur randomly and a long-term ECG record, say 24 hours,
may contain hundreds of thousands of heart beats. Hence, it is highly desirable to automate the entire process of heart beat
classification by developing a computer-assisted technique to annotate the heart beats in order to facilitate review by a medical
expert. Since several arrhythmia are potentially dangerous and life threatening, if not detected within a few seconds to a few
minutes of their onset, their fast and accurate detection on a real-time basis is required. The present work proposes a technique
for classification of a heart beat into one of the three categories: Normal, PVC (Premature Ventricular Contraction) and Fusion
First, the individual beats belonging to each category are extracted from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and after
preprocessing, features are extracted from the beats using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) .This is done in order to reduce
the dimensionality of the vectors to be input to the neural network classifier so as to avoid issues like increased computational
complexity and overtraining of the net. The feature vectors thus obtained are used to train an LVQ based neural network
classifier to classify them in the aforementioned categories. After the network is trained, its performance in terms of its
generalizing ability is tested on a separate test dataset which was not used during training.

Abstract-Biomedical signal analysis has become one of the most important visualization and interpretation approach in biology
and medicine. Much modern and powerful equipment for detecting, storing and analysing, have been come in recent years, giving
scientists and physicians to get quantitative measurements to support scientific hypotheses and medical diagnoses. Independent
Component Analysis (ICA) is a statistical technique for decomposing a complex data set into independent sub-parts. Theoretical
and practical aspects of biomedical signal analysis and interpretation are most important. ICA is a much more powerful
technique, however, capable of finding the underlying factors or sources when the classic methods (such as PCA) fail completely.

Gavendra Singh and Dilbag Singh
NIT Jalandhar, Punjab (INDIA)-144011
Abstract-This paper presents the degree of association or coupling of frequency spectra between the ECG and EEG signals at a
particular frequency. Coherence is often interpreted as a measure of coupling and as a measure of a functional association
(relationship) between two signals (ECG Signal and EEG Signal). An electrocardiogram or ECG is an electrical recording of the
heart and is used in the investigation of heart disease. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a graphic tracing of the electric current
generated by the heart muscle during a heartbeat. It has been used extensively in medicine sine its inventions in the early 1900s
and has been proven to be invaluable in various diagnostics applications and clinical applications. An EEG Signal reflects the
electrical activity of human brain. EEG signals arises from the fact that these waveforms provide the non-invasive diagnostic tool
in a wealth of disorders that include epilepsy and comma assessment in intensive e care unit. In this paper we analysed the
association of heart with mind signals (ECG and EEG) by obtaining magnitude squared coherence and phase coherence
parameters at a certain range of frequency.

Abstract- Cardiovascular diseases & respiration diseases are one of the main courses of death around the world.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) supervising is the most important and efficient way of preventing heart attacks. Machine monitoring
and analysis of ECG & respiratory is becoming a major topic of the modern medical research. Respiratory diseases can be costly
for both human being & animals (horse, sheep, donkey). Some respiratory diseases may cause abortion, and the expense of
veterinary care associated with respiratory disease can be significant. Early detection of respiratory disease is important for
successful treatment and to minimize days lost in training, racing, showing or poor performance, which often is the greatest cost.
In this paper we extract the principal characteristics of the signal by means of the principal component analysis (PCA) technique.
This paper describes the application of principal component analysis (PCA), a technique allowing the reduction of the data set
dimensionality. Principal component (PC) analysis allows the definition of a transform with optimum coefficients. A function has
been derived from the two first PCs, which represent an evidence function to be used both for a compact visual presentation and
for the design of an algorithm for automatic episode detection.

Abstractthe electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most commonly used for diagnosis of heart diseases. Good quality ECG is utilized
by physicians and biomedical researchers for interpretation and identification of physiological and pathological phenomena.
However, in real situations, ECG signals are corrupted by artifacts like 50Hz power line interferences, electrode motion, muscles
movements etc. So the noise removal is a classical problem in ECG records that generally produces artifactual data when
measuring the ECG parameters. In recording a heartbeat, this is being corrupted by a 50 Hz noise means, the frequency coming
from the power supply in many countries. One way to remove the noise is to filter the signal with a notch filter at 50 Hz.
However, due to slight variations in the power supply to the hospital, the exact frequency of the power supply might varies
between 47 Hz and 53 Hz. Adaptive filters permit to detect time varying potentials and to track the dynamic variations of the
signals. Besides, they modify their behaviour according to the input signal. Therefore, they can detect shape variations in the
ensemble and thus they can obtain a better signal estimation. In this paper we are using adaptive filter based on the LMS
algorithm in biomedical signal processing.

Abstract-ECG analysis is a well adopted technique for cardiological diagnosis. For accurate interpretation of ECG it must be of
good quality. But some high and low frequency artifacts may present in ECG due to unavoidable reasons. Power line interference
is a high frequency noise that corrupts the signal and leads to error in feature extraction from ECG. As almost all classification
and monitoring techniques are based on features, the reliability of them reduces if the features are inaccurately detected. Thus
power frequency noise should be removed prior to feature extraction. A novel method for power frequency noise elimination
based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is presented in this paper. Being a completely data driven method, EMD can be
applied to any kind of power line noises. The method is based on selective reconstruction of signal from the IMFs. Direct
removal of IMFs may lead to signal distortion at peaks, so a data driven peak correction is made. The method is tested on ECGs
taken from Physionet PTB diagnostic databases and validated both qualitatively and quantitatively with a good result.

level decomposition of the ECG signal, using a
window of 500 samples maximum peak amplitude and its location is detected. Second, we have used daubechies wavelet for the
low resolution signals. After cross checking the R-peak location in 4

Abstract-Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measure of an important and fundamental aspect of an individual's physiology. Heart
Rate Variability reflects most directly the balance in the two branches of the Autonomous nervous system i.e., sympathic and
parasympathic, consequently it led to the creation of a new important bio-constant called vegetative equilibrium. It is known to
be able to diagnose and to be predictive of certain diseases and can be a measure of vitality and performance. From a
mathematical perspective, it reflects the regularity of the heart beat activity; increased regularity corresponds to decreased heart
rate variability, and vice versa. This review paper discusses its detailed study and characteristics. From various studies it has been
found that there is relation between respiration rate and Heart Rate Variability in high frequency band. This paper summarizes
that the relation between HRV frequency and Respiration rate can be explored for other frequency bands also.

Abstract-The recent development of biomedical signal processing, information technology and communication has brought a
new dimension to the medical world. It is now possible to record an ECG signal with a portable electrocardiograph lightweight
and able to transform a micro-computer in electrocardiograph with the possibility of a diagnostic aid for automated interpretation.
Applications focusing on portable devices for 24-hour on-line cardiac monitoring are in increasing demand. We are now shifting
from a paper-based patient record to a digital one. Many ECG compression algorithms have been researched for optimization
with respect to storage capacity and network bandwidth. For this we have to achieve a high compression ratio (CR) result and
preserve clinical information (low PRD). Examples of ECG compression algorithms include AZTEC , TP, CORTES, KLT ,
DCT, DWT .Among these, wavelet transform-based algorithms have received a great deal of attention over the past several years
because of their straightforward implementation and efficiency, and their good localization properties in time and frequency
domains. This paper gives a bibliographical survey and general backgrounds of research and development in the field of ECG
data compression based on over 50 published articles. The collected literature has been divided into many sections so that new

Abstract-Electrocardiography is an important tool in diagnosing the condition of the heart. But it is a time consuming process to
analyze say a 24 hour ECG signal as it may contain thousands of heart beats. Hence it is desired to automate the entire process of
heart beat classification and preferably diagnose it accurately. For subsequent analysis of ECG signals its fundamental features
(amplitudes and intervals) are required. These features determine the functioning of heart. To detect these features a number of
techniques have been proposed, the earlier methods were based on time domain methods but sometimes all the features of ECG
signals are not required. Thus need of frequency representation arises. In recent years many algorithms have been developed for
extraction and classification of ECG signals. The classifying method which have been proposed during the last decade and under
evaluation includes digital signal analysis, Fuzzy Logic methods, Artificial Neural Network, Hidden Markov Model, Genetic
Algorithm, Support Vector Machines, Self-Organizing Map, Bayesian and other method with each approach exhibiting its own
advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract-EMG signal is a biomedical signal that measures electrical potential generated in muscles during its contraction during
neuromuscular activities. The nervous system controls the muscle activity like contraction and relaxation. The EMG signal is
stochastic in nature and it becomes difficult to quantify and interpret the processed signal. In recent years, there has been a
tremendous interest in introducing intuitive interfaces that can recognize the user's body movements and translate them into
machine commands. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the digital filter techniques using Mat lab toolbox for EMG signal
processing to provide efficient and effective ways of understanding the signal and its nature. In this paper filter optimization is
achieved by implemented IIR digital filter for EMG signals. The result from this study provides the range of sampling, passband,
stopband and ripple frequencies of these filters for EMG signal. These results may lead to accelerated innovation that
significantly improves the quality of designs of available prosthesis and orthotics, and hence enhances the quality of life for the
patient.

Abstract Synchronous Reference Frame Theory can be utilized to get the desired reference current for Voltage Source
Converter (VSC) of the Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF). The correspondence analyses the performance of the Proportional-
Integral (PI) controller and suggests a mean for getting better performance of the SAPF. The winding up effect due to integrator
is compensated by introducing feedback path to the integral term which leads to better output of the PI controller with minimum
delay achieved by using PLL. Reference Frame Transformation has been used for shifting stationary frame to rotating frame i.e.
from a b c to 0 d q and reference signals are controlled using the PI controller in order to get required signal Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM). The results, in the correspondence, have been analyzed using Shunt Active Power Filter simulation model.

Abstract:--The fractional fourier transform(FRFT) which is a generalisation of classical fourier transform, was introduced
number of years ago in the mathematics literature but appears to have remained largely unknown to a signal processing
community to which it may, however, be a potentially useful. The fractional fourier transform depends on a parameter and
can be interpreted as a rotation by an angle in the time frequency plane. An FRFT with =/2 corresponds to the classical
fourier transform and an FRFT with =0 corresponds to the identity operator. On the other hand angles of successively performed
FRFTs simply add up as do the angles of successive rotations. The FRFTs is an orthogonal transform with chirp as a basis
signal. Thus a chirp signal becomes an impulse in certain domain. In this paper we briefly introduce FRFT and a few of its
properties and then discussion and interpretation of fractional fourier transform in time frequency plane is given with short-time

PaperID_378 Performance analysis of image restoration techniques using Fourier & wavelet transform
Gaurav Sethi, B.S Saini and Dilbag Singh
AbstractImage restoration of degraded and distorted images is a basic problem in image and optical processing. The objective
is to reduce or eliminate the degradations or distortions that are introduced typically by the transmission channel and the sensing
environment. In this process, a noisy or blurred image is restored on the basis of a mathematical model of the blurring process. It
allows recovery of an image, removal of noise, enhancement in brightness, color and details. In this thesis work, image
restoration is done using available restoration techniques. First, the image is degraded by adding noise and then this degraded
image is subjected to various filters for restoring the original image. The filters used for restoration are: Inverse Filter, Wiener
filter and Wavelet Filter. The restored images are compared on the basis of image parameters such as Contrast, Correlation,
Energy, Homogeneity and Entropy. Performance of each of these filters is analyzed on a given image and it is found that Wavelet
filter gives better results than the other two tested filters.

Keywords Image Restoration, Fourier Transform, Wavelet Transform, Inverse Filter, Wiener Filter.

Abstract-In this paper, we discuss the use of methods for low bit-rate speech compression, potentially in non-stationary
environments and to transmit or to stock images (more than 6000 by 6000 pixels), we need to reduce their data volume and so we
have to use image compression technique. Unsupervised learning algorithms are particularly well-suited for vector quantization
which is used in many speech compression applications and to solve problem of image compression. In the digitized satellite
image domain, the needs for high dimension images increase considerably. In most cases, these operations have to be processed
in Real-Time. The large amount of computations required by classical image compression algorithms prohibits the use of
common sequential processors. In order to achieve this aim, we developed and evaluated a new parallel image compression
algorithm for general purpose parallel computers using data-parallelism. The purpose of this paper is to present this new parallel
image compression algorithm. We present implementation results on several parallel computers. We also examine load balancing
and data mapping problems. We end by defining optimal characteristics of the parallel machine for Real-Time image
compression.

West Bengal University of Technology Kolkata, India
Abstract-Diabetic retinopathy is a disease commonly found in case of diabetes mellitus patients. This disease causes severe
damage to retina and may lead to blindness as changes occur due to the disease in irreversible in nature, the disease must be
detected in early stages to prevent partial or complete visual loss. One of the most important sign of presence of diabetic
retinopathy is exudates. But detection of exudates is very hard without an automatic computerized system. In this paper, an
automatic method to detect hard exudates is proposed. The proposed algorithm is based on median filtering, image subtraction,
thresholding and image addition.

PaperID_132 CNN Algorithms for Detection of Cysts in X-Ray Images of Osteoarthritis Somnath
Bhattacharyya, Sreeparna Banerjee
West Bengal University of Technology Kolkata, India
Abstract-Cellular Neural Network (CNN) algorithms

are productively used in a wide area of image processing applications
including medical imaging domain. Analogic CNN concepts provide means and methods to uncover invisible details and features
in gray-scale image. Analogic CNN algorithms (algorithms that combine analog and logic operations) use CNN templates for
performing operations like blurring and thresholding combined with logic operations, for image processing. The proposed
technique to detect OA from X-ray image is based on Cellular Neural Network algorithms invented by Chua and Yang. Due to its
two-dimensional regular grid arrangement, the CNN is well suited for image processing. The algorithm finds the presence of
Cysts and erosions which are responsible for the appearance of radiolucent areas near the joint.

Abstract- The essence of this paper is an algorithm devised to recognize human faces from an Image acquired by a peripheral or
computer integrated camera hardware. The recognition of human faces from a given image forms the crux of present day security
systems. The algorithm thus developed fulfills the need to differentiate the faces from the background and recognize it against a
given database. The approach used here includes processing of the Input Image by generating a color based mask that separates
the face pixels of the image from the background pixels based on color matching techniques. After the mask is generated the
probability within the regions of the mask are calculated and high probability regions are called potential faces. Further
filtering is done using Maximal Rejection Classification (MRC) of the potential faces and end processing. The eigenfaces of the
detected faces are obtained and compared with the mean image of the initial database. According to the difference between the
two, the face is recognized. The algorithm has exhibited excellent accuracy, speed and usability.

Abstract- This paper proposes a method to enhance the contrast of a gray scale image using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO).
Here, image enhancement is considered as an optimization problem and PSO is used to solve it as it has the ability to search a
solution in a global space, and thus a relation between input and output gray levels is determined which convert an original gray
image to an enhanced image with a good contrast. PSO optimizes the fitness value of a particle by evaluating the intensity of
spatial edges included in the image by maximizing the information content of the enhanced image with intensity transformation
function. Here enhancement requires parameter based transformation function which uses global information of the image. Here
an objective criterion for measuring image enhancement is defined by edge numbers, edge intensity and the entropy. The
proposed algorithm not only improves the visual effect but also enhances the image contrast and holds the details simultaneously.
The result obtained from the proposed method has good contrast as compared to that of the conventional methods. This
comparison has been done through subjective evaluation and objective evaluation. Results of this work are compared with other
enhancement techniques, viz. linear contrast stretching and histogram equalization.

Abstract-Image segmentation is an important step towards the analysis in many image processing tasks such as tumor detection
and evolution of many therapies. For better diagnosis, images are needed to have an exact segmentation. Many approaches have
been used to deal with image segmentation which includes various edge based approaches and region based approaches. The
watershed algorithm is one of the popular region based segmentation approach. It is very simple, intuitive and has faster speed
and always produces a complete division of the image. However, it has an important drawback of oversegmentation. There are
various pre-processing and post processing methodologies to overcome this oversegmentation problem. The paper presents
various gradient based techniques which are used to avoid the oversegmentation. Work is done in MATLAB 7.

PaperID_195 Compression of 2-D images using In-Place Modified Fast Haar Wavelet Transform
Kiran Arora , Amanpreet Singh Brar
GNDEC, Ludhiana
Abstract- As the health care is computerized novel techniques and applications are developed, along with them are the MR and
CT techniques. To overcome this problem image compression has been introduced in the field of medical. Wavelets are
mathematical tools for hierarchically decomposing functions. Wavelet Transform has been proved to be an extremely useful tool
for image processing in recent years. The most discrete feature of Haar Transform lies in the fact that it lends itself simply to
uncomplicated manual calculations. Modified Fast Haar Wavelet Transform (MFHWT), is one of the algorithms which can
lessen the computation work in Haar Transform (HT) and Fast Haar Transform (FHT). The In-Place MFHWT further reduces the
memory consumption and useless movement of intermediary coefficients. The present paper attempts to explain the algorithm for
image compression using In-Place MFHWT and shows that it is faster. It includes numeral examples of different images to
confirm the usefulness and importance of algorithms performance.

Abstract-This paper presents the details of the study undertaken to find the relationship between the light intensity gradient
values found in the MRI images of the human brain (in the axial plane) and the degree of pathology of brain tissue (infarct ,bleed
and tumor). Analysis of the results show that the differences in the light intensity gradient values, in the MRI images for the
subjects with brain tissue pathology compared to the normal subjects, are distinctive in the areas of the brain where there is high
incidence of pathology of the brain tissue. The increase in the light intensity gradient values for the subjects with infarcts, bleed
and tumors are in the ranges of 1.64 2.32 times, 3.07 4.26 times and 1.41 3.03 times, respectively, compared to normal
subjects. The results show that the quantitative changes in the parameter values can be assessed in grading the different levels of
brain tissue pathology to assist the neuro surgeons for early corrective methods so as to protect these patients from further

Abstract Image registration is an important tool to deal with various problems in medical imaging. It has many potential
applications in clinical diagnosis. It is a process of aligning two images into a common coordinate system in order to monitor
subtle changes between the two. In the medical imaging field, fast deformable registration methods are needed especially in
intra-operative settings characterized by their time-critical applications. In this paper we present our work on B-splines nonrigid
registration using free-form deformations. Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) are emerging as powerful parallel systems at a cheap
cost of a few thousand rupees. As with previous research, image registrations studies based on GPUs provide fast
implementations. However, only a small number of these GPU-based studies concentrate on deformable registration. The GPU
which we have taken (NVIDIA 8400M GS) is the most basic model and has high portability which is easily available in present
day laptop and desktops so can be implemented directly. However, synchronizing of host and device with suitable parallel
implementation is the most challenging part. The most critical and time-consuming operation of registration is interpolating the
errors of the B-Splines which has been parallelized by us. We have broken the registration process in threads of blocks and
managed those threads inside a special thread managing hardware called as GPU with the help of the environment and set of
libraries provided by CUDA. The execution time ranges from minutes to seconds for several bio-medical images.

Abstract-Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer markedly increases survival rate. Digital mammography is believed to
help breast image experts to detect breast cancer early. Mammography is able to visualize nonpalpable and often minimal tumors
smaller than 0.5 cm [1]. Accurate diagnosis also depends on the quality of the image presented to experts. This study addresses
the quality improvement of the image. Morphological based processing is carried out, by designing suitable opening and closing
filters for enhancement of digital mammograms containing calcifications. The method is based on the appropriate choice of the
structuring element used to design opening and closing filters (i.e. morphological operators)[2] which perform image smoothing
and noise removal and enhance calcifications hidden in heterogeneous parenchymal tissue. To validate the effectiveness of the
proposed technique, both conventional and proposed method have been applied to mammograms and the performance of
enhancement has been compared. A new index based on D-Index used by Singh [7] and DV-BV ratio is proposed. The Proposed
Index (PI) is used for performance evaluation. Results in this study demonstrate that the morphological processing improves the
quality of the image more than the other enhancement methods.

Abstract: Gait analysis is an active interest of many Biometric and Rehabilitation researchers. In development of a prosthetic
limbs gait analysis plays a vital role. Gait analysis system aids in gathering kinematic and kinetic data for study of normal human
locomotors mechanisms. Advanced and comfortable human dynamics analyzing devices are available nowadays. Multi-sensor
combinations, including force plates, goniometers, electromyography and accelerometers, are continuously proposed for analysis
of gait phases and human dynamics. These devices provide enormous data during trials. Gait data is essential for determining and
analyzing the gait of a person. The parameters obtained from these devices are important in designing and developing a prosthetic
limb. While aiming is to design prosthesis for above knee amputees the importance of gait analysis is much obligatory. In
performing gait analysis for lower limbs, additional parameters like ground reaction force (GRF), foot pressure, heel strike toe-
off, and acceleration are involved in study. In this paper we discuss an approach in which gait study and analysis contributes in
development of an electronic knee. The utmost objective of this work is to provide quantified assessments of human locomotion
which assist in the design and development of prosthetic knee for above knee amputees.

Abstract-A full adder is one of the most commonly used digital circuit component, many improvements have been made to refine
the architecture of a full adder. So far, the full adder of 10-T (transistors) architecture is considered as the most balanced design
regarding performance and area. However, the era of deep sub-micron CMOS process has come which makes the traditional 10-T
designs not applicable in the mentioned CMOS process. In this paper, 5 different types of 1 bit full adder 28T, 10T, 14T,
Modified 14T and 12T adder is compared based on different parameters. The investigation has been carried out with properly
defined simulation runs on a SPICE environment using a 0.25m process. The results may differ from those previously published
both for the more realistic simulations carried out and the more appropriate figure of merit used. The main objective is to find out
Delay, Power and Power delay product of different full adders scheme and their comparison.

Abstract-The Photoplethysmography (PPG) method has gained wide clinical use due to the simple & safe measurement
procedure .Parameters including heart rate, respiratory rate & tissue perfusion can be monitored via PPG .With each cardiac cycle
the heart pumps blood to the peripherals, generates pressure pulses. Even though this pressure pulse somewhat damped by the
time it reaches the skin, it is enough to distend the arteries & arterioles in the subcutaneous tissues. Heart pump pushed the blood
through the circulatory system & is available at peripheral arteries. The amount of blood rushing into the peripheral arteries
depends on many physiological factors. The heart rate can be detected by sensing the rush of the blood in the peripheral arteries.
Since the skin is so richly per fused, it is relatively easy to detect the pulsatile components of the cardiac cycle. There are mainly
two types of the pulsatile components of the cardiac cycle, DC as well as AC components. The height of AC components of the
photoplethysmogram is proportional to the pulse pressure. In the proposed system this signals are considered as a fundamental
signal for Heart rate measurement.

Abstract-Now a days, the wireless technology has become a demand in the hospitals including for Electrocardiogram (ECG)
which is a representation of electrical activity of the heart muscle as recorded from the body surface, which is used in the analysis
of various heart diseases. An Electrocardiogram acquisition which has many cables connected to a patient could potentially be
implemented as a wireless system. But Wireless ECG system eliminates this with the freedom to the patient moving comfortably
without any hassle of wires. Similarly it provides the doctor or nurse with a trouble-free approach to the patients ECG signal. In
addition, the acquired ECG signals can be saved and sent to other parts of the world including the reports of abnormality
analyzed by automated algorithm. In fact, for patients in rural and regional areas an ECG report could be sent via email or LAN
to a doctor for examination. An added advantage is economically feasibility [1].

Abstract-This allows high-resolution measurements with maximum accuracy, due to the delta-sigma ADC noise shaping and
filtering. This paper explains the delta-sigma ADC architecture and the SC Express approach to automatically compensating for
filter delays in software. The differentiating aspects of delta-sigma ADCs are the use of oversampling in conjunction with
decimation filtering, and quantization noise shaping. Delta-sigma ADCs relax the requirements on analog antialiasing filters by
oversampling the input signal. Through oversampling, the modulated versions of the input signal spectrum are further separated
in the frequency domain allowing for gradual roll-off filter characteristics, which make the analog antialiasing filter construction
much simpler. Delta-sigma ADCs are composed mainly of digital components, making them even more attractive. With a
primarily digital construction, they can be implemented in silicon and thus take advantage of advancements in very-large-scale
integration VLSI technology. To prevent aliasing, the analog frontend of a data acquisition device often uses an analog lowpass
filter that attenuates frequency components greater than the Nyquist frequency, prior to sampling by the ADC. The bit stream
from the delta-sigma modulator is output to a digital decimation filter that averages and downsamples, thus producing an n-bit
sample at the desired sample rate, Fs. This process of averaging has the effect of lowpass filtering the signal in the frequency
domain, which attenuates the quantization noise and removes aliases from the band of interest. The conversion of an analog
signal into a digital signal introduces noise in the signal, which is called quantization noise. Moreover, because of the digital
decimation filtering process, there is a delay before the input signal is converted to a digital sample.

Abstract Modern human gait analysis uses several instrumentation tools to analyse gait parameters. Among the most important
and basic tool is force measuring platform (Force Plate). Force Plate (FP) is used for measurement of Ground Reaction Force
(GRF). Because the GRF is one of the most commonly measured biomechanical variables in gait laboratories. The purpose of
this work is to design and develop a low cost FP, which can be widely used to measure vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) of
human body while walking. Thus an effort has been made to develop a Load Cell force plate which has been divided into three
main sections; Force Plate (FP), Data Acquisition system (DAQ-NI) and LabVIEW software. It consists of four load cell based
force sensing devices sandwiched between two plates (top and bottom plates). DAQ-NI is used as an interfacing device between
FP and computer. To obtain precise and accurate measurement of the VGRF, load cell is utilized as the main sensing device,
which works as the elastic element for free movement of upper and lower plate in vertical direction. Data collected from the FP is
send to a computer through DAQ-NI for further processing and data analysis with LabVIEW software. Both static and dynamic
calibration methods were conducted with the help of developed FP. For the static calibration, known loads were placed over the
centre of the FP which helped in determining calibration factor, linearity and sensitivity. Whereas in the dynamic calibration, data
was acquired while walking a person on the developed FP. For determination of gait and the evaluation of parameters, the same
persons data was acquired by Kistler FP, which is the available standard reference tool. Both the readings were compared with
each other and then this developed FP is evaluated in terms of error, sensitivity, linearity and repeatability etc. We calculated the
results (minimum errors, good repeatability and linearity) for the developed FP in comparison to kistler FP.

various foods and emotions either stabilize or disturb this balance. Traditional ancient Indian medical diagnosis system is based
on the concept of three radial pulses. In traditional nadi pariksha, three fingers (index, middle, and ring fingers) are placed just
below the wrist on the radial artery to observe and understand aspects of the pulse. Nadi Pariksha is the science of observing the
pulse from a perspective of diagnosis of the human body, active mind and the sub-conscious. It is commonly known as Pulse
diagnosis. The pulse communicates more than what we can feel. Energy flowing through the various channels (nadis) carries
information about the health of all that connect to them. Inside every human being there is a network of nerves and sensory
organs that interprets the outside physical world. This paper presents the prototype of the design of human pulse based diagnosis
system. Our work is to develop a system with the help of modern electronics facilities to provide applications for the data
acquisition, signal processing and is helpful in medical diagnosis based on tridosha.

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. The
basic technique in AI is to encode a problem as a state space in which solutions are object states in that space. Thus, problem
solving can be viewed as state space search. To search large, combinatorial state spaces, knowledge (e.g. heuristics) and planning
are required. The use of Artificial Intelligence techniques is believed to be the solution to current biomedical engineering
problem. This presentation addresses the marriage between two important scientific disciplines namely, artificial intelligence (AI)
and signal processing. Signal processing parameters are obtained through chaotic summary measures provided by a separate
agent in the model. Although the application is illustrated with one-dimensional signal analysis data, possible extensions can be
made to two-dimensional signals, including images. We define AI as the science of building computational models that emulate
intelligent problem solving behaviour.

Abstract-As the world is entering into a new era of robots supercomputers and automatic machines, it has become a necessity to
identify each machine, and assign a unique number to it, though, it is not an all together novel thought to assign identity, as we
already had DNS-Domain name system, in case of network computers and machine number (MAC address), to identify each
machine. Perhaps Mother Nature is also based on the similar grounds, as we all have unique organization of our body or basically
Unique DNA. In day to day life plenty of times, we need to prove our identity using id cards, tokens or various prevailing Id
formats, which can be easily transferred intentionally or accidentally and when the criticality of the security system is high,
requires strict constraints then we ought to look for ones unique genetic code to advocate that one is really the being who one
claims to be. This is how the future identity cards are going to be. This brings us into the land of new identity system i.e.
biometrics.

Abstract-Computers have been used in healthcare organizations for decades to facilitate the integration and manipulation of
patients data and improve the clinical decision making process. The healthcare networks provide comprehensive and high
quality health care at a reasonable cost. Medical documents exchanged over healthcare networks are mostly elaborated in a
progressive and distributed manner, by multiple autonomous and heterogeneous, but cooperating information systems. There is
an emerging need for Content Management Systems (CMS) enabling development, administration, and distribution of content
over the Internet. The main requirement from the business perspective is to introduce technology independent mechanism for
content management in the heterogeneous healthcare messaging and communication environments. In the paper we explore the
approach for content management with HL7 messages, with HL7 as the emerging messaging standard in healthcare information

Abstract- Microcalcifications are small densities that appear as bright spots on mammograms. Its detection plays a very important
role in breast cancer detection at early stages in digitized mammographic images. This paper presents an approach for computer
aided detection of microcalcifications. The main idea of the proposed approach is to apply wavelet analysis followed by a non-
linear transformation function for contrast enhancement. The image is decomposed into sub-bands using Daubechies-6
orthogonal wavelet filter. With this, the low-frequency sub-band is suppressed and then the image is reconstructed from the high
frequency sub-bands. Contrast enhancement is carried out using a linear combination of double sigmoid function, which is
objectively evaluated using PSNR & a universal Q-Metric.

Abstract-Mobility management with provision of seamless handover is crucial for an efficient support of global roaming of
mobile nodes (MNs) in next-generation wireless networks (NGWN). Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and its extensions were proposed by
IETF for IP layer mobility management. Mobile IPv6 developed in 1997 is considered to be one of the key technologies for
realizing mobile Internet which enables seamless communication between fixed line and wireless access networks. Now, users
are able to establish and maintain a session between their computer and information network as they roam from one place to
another. Once connected, a continuous session with no interruptions is provided. But the delay constraint, measured in terms of
handover latency, is the crucial factor, which should be reduced.

Abstract-Human body contains many biological signals like ECG, EMG, EEG, respiratory signal, BP. Among all these, ECG and
respiratory signals are the most important biological signals. Almost all the parameters can be obtained from ECG. Every activity
of human body affects the respiratory signal, thus study of this signal is also important. Thus, it is necessary to both the signals
simultaneously in clinical conditions. Hence, it is necessary to design a model which derives respiratory signal as well as
respiration rate from ECG. In this paper, two different ways are shown by which respiration rate can be derived from ECG. One
method contains mathematical model and R-wave algorithm has been designed to calculate respiration rate from ECG. This
method uses two lead ECG, lead-I and lead-II. Other method uses only one 12 ECG. ECG contains respiration information upto
0.4 Hz. Hence, ECG is filtered. In first method R-wave is detected to understand variation in QRS complex to detect abnormality.
The mean electrical axis is obtained and spline interpolation is taken for getting respiratory waveform. The respiration rate has
been found out from respiratory waveform. In second method, the pattern of ECG is studied and respiratory signal and respiration
rate is derived by checking zero-crossing of the signal. The algorithms are developed on the platform of Laboratory Virtual
Instrumentation Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW). Biomedical signals are very low-frequency, low-amplitude signals, hence
processing and analysis of biomedical signal is very difficult in hardware conditions. Thus, a simulation model has been
implemented in LabVIEW which processes on ECG signal and generates respiratory signal along with the respiration rate.

Abstract-Body movement is an important factor that must be considered while correlating the acquired physiological parameters
and signals such as ECG with the patients health status, particularly when the acquisition of the physiological data is performed
during ambulatory conditions. Therefore, it is required that the body movement information should be available along with the
ambulatory physiological parameters. We have designed a body movement sensing system with multiple 3-axis acceleration
sensors that can measure the acceleration caused due to routine physical movement of the body. The acceleration sensor modules
can be tightly attached to any limb or part of the body for measuring the movement. Since the size of the system is an important
concern, we have designed it using a single Programmable System on Chip (PSoC). In this paper we present the PSoC based
system for body movement sensing for ambulatory health monitoring purpose.

Abstract-Today, the backbone of various applications used in clinical medicine is the data warehouse, focusing the areas of
medical history. Telemedicine is one of the major applications which provide the medical information by improving the access to
quality medicine and healthcare by having all resources at one location. Data warehousing make access to the valuable data in
flexible and timely manner. In telemedicine data warehouse the flexible and efficient querying of relevant information about
performance, scope, effectiveness, and measurements of disease can be retrieved by choosing appropriate indexing techniques.
The traditional data warehouse was designed to manage transactional data that is highly dominated by numerical information
where as in telemedicine textual and non transactional information is encountered. The objective of this paper is to propose an
indexing technique based on time complexity and index space complexity for data warehouse used in application of clinical
medicine. The performance evaluation of three data warehouse queries is focused in this paper by comparing techniques used
mostly with FULL TEXT indexing technique and to observe the results of variable size dataset with respect to time and space
complexity.

Abstract-CT scan imaging has been popularly applied for the diagnosis of brain tumor and brain cyst and it is also one of the very
useful imaging techniques for diagnosing other part of human body this image processing tool has been successfully utilized to
detect brain tumors and cysts and other. CT scan image alleviate the difficulties of physicians in order to visualize affected
regions. However sometime it is difficult to visualize very minute regions of tumors and cysts and differentiate between them and
sometime they are wrongly predicted due to very minute appearance in the CT scan image especially in early growing stages of
brain tumor and cysts which are scanned by CT imaging but cannot be predicted or easily visualized by physician or health care
professionals which results in delay in detection or wrong treatment of patient even if the patient have reported in early to the
hospitals. Hence it becomes very important and necessary to develop such techniques to resolve this problem. In order to resolve
this problem, has been applied pixel by pixel analysis technique as a base technique accompanying with some methods such as
Edge Detection, Segmentation using MATLAB as a basic tool.

Abstract-A number of techniques for ECG data compression have been proposed during the last three decades. These techniques
are mainly categorized as direct data compression (DDC), transformation compression (TC), and parameter extraction
compression (PEC). In this paper we present an effective data compression algorithm which is conceptualized from an existing
DDC technique namely modified Amplitude zone time epoch coding (AZTEC) with few enhancements in it and hence given the
name improved modified AZTEC technique. The database for testing the technique was obtained from the Department of
Electrical Engineering, M.I.T.S., Gwalior. Assessment of the performance is carried out on the basis of compression ratio (CR),
percent root-mean-square difference (PRD), normalized root-mean square difference (NRD) and fidelity of the reconstructed
signal.

Abstract-Shape based classification of breast tumor and its corresponding analysis of micro and macrolabulated variations are
important for future diagnostic purpose. There are two types of breast tumor named as benign and malignant. Benign type
tumors having well defined regular shaped structure where the malignant type tumors having quite opposite nature like ill defined
and irregular nature. The main objective of this paper is to classify the tumor based on their shapes. The novel algorithm named
as Best Fitting Algorithm (BSF) is proposed to classify the tumors based on two features as Normalized average radial distance
(Nr) as (M1) and area matching between tumors to best fitting circle (A
m
) as (M2). The radial distance can be measured as a
Euclidian distance from centroid of a given tumor to two coordinate of tumor contour. The normalized average radial distance for
classification is calculated from this radial distance. The mean radial distance can be used as the radius of best fitting circle. The
best fitting circle is fitted on the tumor to calculate the amount of area matching for classification process. The decision level is
obtained experimentally for each parameter through optimum threshold method. The performance of the classifier is measured
through Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC). In this experiment, 62 tumor contours are tested and classified through our
proposed method. ROC parameters like Area Under ROC(Az), Accuracy(Acc) Sensitivity(S), specificity(Sp), Positive Predictive
Values(PPV) and Negative predictive values(NPV) are calculated as 0.8234, 0.918033,1,0.75,0.8913,1 for M1 and
0.9375,0.934426,0.9,1,1,0.84 for M2. The necessary data sets are taken from R.M. Rangayyan data base as well as our local self
drawn data set for validation and verification.

Abstract-This paper illustrates an approach to determine the time-plane features from an ECG dataset based on processing of
successive sample differences, called differential ECG or D-ECG. The D-ECG data array contains maximum fluctuations in QRS
49 | P a g e

region, with other regions almost flat or having small variations. At first, the D-ECG is used to determine all the R-peaks by a
sliding window with combination of magnitude and slope criteria. Then, the baseline point in each ECG cycles is determined and
hence any baseline modulation in the dataset is corrected. Finally the characteristic points in all cardiac cycles are determined
from R-peaks based on magnitude and average slope criteria. The algorithm is tested on 200 single lead data from MIT-PTB
diagnostic database for different normal and abnormal patients, and MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. An average R-peak
sensitivity more than 99% is achieved with one minute (60000 samples) data for normal and abnormal subjects. The algorithm is
utilized for remote ECG monitoring application using a wireless link presently being developed in our department.

Abstract-Recent advances of quantitative infrared thermal imaging in medical diagnostics are discussed. Imaging patients for
early diagnosis of breast cancer using thermal signatures is emphasized. Medical thermal imaging or thermography is a promising
screening tool as it is able to warn women of breast cancer ten years in advance. It is a non invasive diagnostic technique which
allows to visualize and quantify changes in skin surface temperature to detect an abnormality using high definition infrared
cameras. The visual image captured referred to as a thermogram, contains spectrum of colors to indicate an increase or decrease
in the amount of infrared radiation being emitted from the breast surface. Image Segmentation is further proposed for analysis
and interpretation of thermograms. Diagnosing patients can become easy and less intrusive.

E-mail IDs: nkohli@iitk.ac.in, nishchal@iitk.ac.in
Abstract-This paper presents comparative analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) arrhythmias classification with Support Vector
Machine (SVM) based methods. Among various existing SVM based methods, four well-known and widely used algorithms one-
against-one (OAO), one-against-all (OAA), fuzzy decision function (FDF) and decision directed acyclic graph (DDAG) method
are used to classify and assign the ECG data into one of the arrhythmia classes. Apart from normal ECG data, two types of
arrhythmias in this Cardiac Arrhythmias ECG database chosen from University of California at Irvine (UCI) to train SVM
include Ischemic changes (coronary artery disease) and Right bundle branch block. Feature selection has been performed on the
ECG dataset using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) method to select seventy effective features in the dataset for more
accuracy of the classification results. On comparing the results obtained through implementation of all four SVM methods in
terms of their accuracy rate in percentages, the performance of one-against-all (OAA) method was found to be better than others.
Seeing the complexity of the ECG arrhythmia data sets, one-against-all method is definitely found to be useful for classification
based diagnosis of diseases.

PaperID_271 Analysis of Scaling behavior of Heart Rate Variability based on Global and Local Exponents derived from

Dr. B.R.Ambedkar N.I.T. Jalandhar-144 011, India
AbstractScaling behavior of heart rate fluctuations has been analyzed using wavelet transform based Hurst exponent
estimation. Global Hurst exponent is extracted using filter coefficients obtained by discrete wavelet transforms. A short term
scaling exponent is also obtained based on detrended fluctuation analysis method. As the Hurst exponents obtained using these
methods do not give any idea about the local singularities, a Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima method (WTMM) to compute
local Holder exponents is used. The complete singularity spectrum of younger and elderly subjects from MIT/BIH Fantasia
database is obtained. It is observed that there is a decrease in long range anti-correlated behavior with age. Young subjects show
multifractal behavior in HRV as compared to monofractality in aged subjects.

Abstract-The detection of QRS complex and specically R-Peak plays a key role in every automatic electrocardiogram (ECG)
analysis. In this paper a comparison between db2 and db3 wavelets in R-peak detection algorithm based on wavelet packets is
presented. The ECG signal is decomposed into various frequency subbands of uniform bandwidth using wavelet packets. The
features evaluated from a set of subbands are combined with detection logic for beat detection. This R-peak detection algorithm
was tested on Fantasia database and self-recorded signals. A sensitivity of = 100% and a positive predictivity of +P = 100%
were achieved using db2 and sensitivity of = 100% and a positive predictivity of +P = 99.9% were achieved using db3 for
fantasia database. A sensitivity of = 99.96% and a positive predictivity of +P = 99.9% were achieved using db2 and sensitivity
of = 100% and a positive predictivity of +P = 99.96% were achieved using db3 for self-recorded signals.

Abstract This paper deals with automatic recognition of offline handwritten Devanagari characters. Though Devnagari is the
script for Hindi, which is the official language of India, its character recognition poses great challenges due to large variety of
symbols and their proximity in appearance. In order to extract features which can distinguish similar appearing characters, we
employ Curvelet Transform. The resultant large dimensional feature space is handled by careful application of Principal
Component Analysis (PCA). The classifier used was Support Vector Machine (SVM) with one-against-rest class model. The
overall recognition accuracy (on 91% training-testing split) of 92.63% has been obtained on the dataset.

Abstract-The aim of this paper lies in the application of classifying the subjects based on their RR-interval and blood pressure
series, prior to spectral analysis, at two different physical activity related postures because without understanding the changes in
these features from lying to standing posture in the same subject it is not possible to decipher the hidden dynamics of
cardiovascular control. Thus support vector machine (SVM), a classifier motivated from statistical learning theory, is used here
for classifying the subjects based on lying and standing postures. The efficiency of SVM lies in the choice of the kernel for a
given problem. Here in this paper a comparative study has been performed between Linear, Polynomial and Radial Basis kernel
functions, and based on highest classification accuracy linear kernel function is proposed for SVM classifier for deciphering the
postural related changes in RR-interval and blood pressure signals. Further Five-fold cross-validation has also been performed
and the results supports the linear kernel function as optimal for classifying the subjects based on postures.

Abstract-This paper presents a basis for training of a neural network to detect and recognize the state of mind. A biomedical
signal EEG reflects the state of mind. In fact EEG signals are related to the characteristic parameters of brain electrical activity.
Moreover as our mind state changes EEG changes accordingly. The raw EEG cannot be observed or used efficiently. Hence EEG
signal processing techniques are employed to extract feature which forms the basis of training of the Neural Network. For
processing EEG signal, the DSP techniques like DFT, FFT etc can be used. In this study FFT signal processing technique has
been used on the EEG signal acquired from the healthy subjects under three conditions viz. Eye Open, Eye Closed and Eye
Movement. The feature thus extracted has been used to train the neural network by using MATLAB toolbox. The work presented
here is a part of a larger project being carried out in the research lab, whose goal is to detect EEG signals belonging to a varied
set of mental activities.

PaperID_379 Biomedical Signal Processing Using Transformation Techniques- A Review
Gaurav Sethi, B.S Saini, Dilbag Singh
Abstract ECG signal and generally biomedical signals change their statistical properties over time. Researchers can use
multiresolution techniques for analyzing non-stationary signals. Traditional analysis techniques like Fourier transform and short
time Fourier Transform are confined to stationary signals only. Multiresolution techniques like Wavelet transform is a powerful
instrument in catching zerodimensional singularities. While Ridgelets are a powerful instrument in catching and representing
monodimensional singularities, curvelets are used to represent multidimensional singularity. This paper reviews drawbacks of
traditional analysis techniques like Fourier transform and advantages of using multiresolution techniques. Also in this paper we
have tried to avoid intensive mathematics. More stress is laid to understand the concepts for the beginners.
Keywords ECG, Fourier Transform, Wavelet Transform, Ridglets, curvelets, Radon transform.

Abstract-MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) is a collection of self-governing mobile or semi-mobile nodes or users that works in
a deconcentrated mode or manner. As mostly nodes in a MANET are mobile, the topology and message routing in the network
keep on changing. This operation of changing network makes the messages to take variable delay to reach their destination. For
the proper working of the MANET, different protocols are made which do all the works of network making, breaking and
remaking to message routing etc in a proper decentralized self made manner. This paper analyzes the packet end to end delay of
different protocols used in MANET, varying the no. of mobile nodes and speed of nodes. The simulation tool used in this study is
OPNET version 14.0.

Abstract-BCI is a new age tool for improving the lifestyle of both physically challenged as well as normal people who are
medically fit. BCI can find wide application in the field of rehabilitation, where neural prosthesis can be controlled by the signals
emerging from the brain. The dataset used for this study has been obtained from the BCI competition II 2003 databank provided
by the University of Technology, Graz. After pre-processing of the signals from their electrodes (C3 & C4), the wavelet
coefficients, Power Spectral Density of the alpha and the central beta band and the average power of the respective bands have
been employed as features for classification. Two sets of feature vectors are created: one contains whole set of features and the
other set with its dimensionality reduced using Principal Component Analysis. This study aims at determining the performance of
the classifier (K-nearest neighbor) KNN for both set of features according to their left and right hand movements. The
classification has been performed by (K-nearest neighbor) KNN with the original feature vector and with PCA resulted in an
average accuracy of 75%. Reducing the dimensionality of the original feature vector by PCA further reduces the computational
time which is one of the main prerequisite for online classification. The classification accuracy for the left-right hand movement
scheme adopted here is satisfactory within the standard results obtained by the researchers of the BCI competition. Our approach
is very simple and robust to work on very large sets of EEG data.

Abstract-Fuzzy Petri Nets (FPNs) provides a graphical and mathematical framework that is compatible with poorly quantitative
yet qualitatively significant data. Most of Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) studies are based on crisp and parametric
algorithms, despite of inherent fuzzy nature of gene expression. We introduce an approach microarray gene expression level
modeling based on a fuzzy neural Petri net (FNPN) approach. In the proposed model, a gene expression profile is first
transformed into a mapping form and then the transformed data are mapped into the fuzzy inference system. The models of
FNPN are defined based on generating rules of knowledge base and the Petri nets semantics description of logical rules are
presented. Since the relations are represented by fuzzy model, the proposed method is robust to noisy and uncertain information.
FNPN to represent the dynamic knowledge on the base of knowledge representation with self-learning ability. It turns out that the
model is a useful framework for knowledge representation of microarray gene expression level.

Abstract-Handover initiation demands special attention in cellular mobile systems to provide uninterrupted services to the
dedicated end users. Though many handover schemes have been proposed yet it has been a big ask to deliver the desired quality
of service. In this paper, an efficient handover scheme has been proposed which makes use of fuzzy logic theory. The proposed
system uses four parameters to make the handover decision. These parameters are signal strength from the home base station
(SSH), signal strength from the neighboring base station (SSN), distance between the mobile user (MU) and the home base
station and the available network bandwidth (BW) in the neighboring cells. Higher bandwidth helps in achieving high data rates.
The simulation results reveal that the proposed system executes an efficient handoff taking care of the probability of the false
handover.

Abstract-Human body can be used as a transmission medium for electrical signals which offers a novel data communication in
biomedical monitoring systems. Human Body communication channel (on-body) may be proven as promising solution for
Wireless Body Area networks (WBANs) in terms of simplicity, reliability, power-efficiency and security. In this paper,
algorithms are developed using MATLAB software for estimation and equalization of data travelled across human body
transmission medium in the presence of EM noise. The human body is characterized based on ETRIs measurements as
transmission channel (FIR Filter). An electric current is transmitted using signal electrode placed on body, within a specified
frequency range of several MHz and received by signal electrode placed at other location(on body). The received noisy channel
output data processing is done using training based MMSE Equalizer batch algorithm. The transmitted bits are extracted from
received noisy data with no error bits i. e. a signal to error ratio (SER) near to zero is achieved. An adaptive MMSE Equalizer
(using LMS algorithm) is also implemented for estimation and equalization over the human body communication channel.
Besides providing an exact reception with nearly zero SER, this algorithm incorporates track time variation and reduced
computational complexity. Results from both the algorithms indicate that noise is effectively suppressed over the HBC channel.

Abstract-In this paper, error rate performance analysis of Equal Gain Combining wireless receiver over generalized fading
channels is presented. The Generic fading Gamma model has been used here due to its adaptability to represent short term fading
such as Weibull, Nakagami-m or Rayleigh as well as long term shadowing. The performance measures such as Amount of
Fading (AoF), Outage Probability (OP), and Average Bit Error Rate (ABER) have been evaluated for a variety of modulation
formats in this work. With the aid of Moment based technique, computationally efficient rational expressions have been derived
for EGC multichannel wireless receiver. Using these novel rational expressions, the performance of multichannel wireless
receiver with and without diversity combining in variety of channel fading conditions has been evaluated. Our results have been
validated through simulations which shows perfect match.

Abstract-Exponential-Lognormal model for high data rate ultra-wide band (UWB) indoor channels has been used for generating
Power Delay Profiles (PDP). This model is based on extensive measurements in diversified Residential & Commercial
environments. The local PDPs for CM1 (0-4m) Line of Sight and CM2 (0-4m) Non Line of sight channel categories have been
generated. The important attributes of PDP have been selected for investigating the relative Channel behavior. The mean and
standard deviation of the ensemble of PDPs have also been evaluated through simulations. The link performance of Wireless
Personal Area Networks using sub-optimum Rake receivers has also been studied. Through simulative investigations of the
outage probability and optimum captured SNR, it has been found that the low complexity partial Rake receiver is almost as good
as the selective Rake receiver in high data rate UWB channels.

Abstract- The essence of this paper is an algorithm devised to project the trajectory of any moving object using Kalman Filters.
The prediction of position and velocity of an object accurately is the biggest challenge faced by the radar systems these days. The
algorithm thus developed fulfills the need to accurately measure and predict the correct position and velocity. The approach used
here includes using an initial estimated position and then recursively calling the Kalman Filter equations to reduce the error in
position and velocity and correctly predict the position and velocity. After successive recursions the predicted and actual
trajectories are found to be nearly the same with a very low margin for error.

Abstract-The nucleus accumbens (NAcc) constitutes the major subdivision of the ventral striatum and it plays an important role
in the reward circuit. It is also considered as the major site of action for many drugs of abuse. The principal neuronal cell type in
the NAcc is the Medium Spiny Neuron (MSN), which is its primary output cell. MSNs perform a central role in sensorimotor
processing by integrating many excitatory inputs located across their dendritic arbor to fire an action potential. Synaptic
responses can summate linearly, sub linearly or supralinearly depending on the spatiotemporal pattern of activity. AMPA
receptor (AMPAR) desensitization affects integration process. The effect of AMPAR desensitization is explored in modulating
the temporal integration window for synaptic inputs in MSN. It seems to exert a major constraint on the integration window of
the MSN such that action potentials are generated only when inputs are activated within a narrow latency, requiring greater
synchrony of inputs for excitation.

ECE Dept, ANNA University, CEG, Chennal.
Abstract-This paper presents the feasibility of detecting tuberculosis using extrinsic fibre optic sensor and Fourier transform
infrared spectra. There are four specific volatile organic compounds from mycobacterium tuberculosis cultures grown in vitro.
These compounds can be detected from the breath of the person infected by TB.I have analysed the separation of the compounds
using gas chromatography(practical conditions are indicated below).The interferogram then passes through the extrinsic fibre
optic sensor and made to interact with sample. The time domain version of interferogram is obtained at pyroelectric detectors.
Then the interferogram is decoded using Fourier transform (frequency domain).The resulting IR spectra is analysed for
confirmation of TB(practical and decoded spectra with analysis are provided below). I propose that this new detection technique
will be able to detect the mycobacterium tuberculosis present in the body within few hours compared to the present detection
techniques (which will take 6-12 weeks).

Abstract-Quantitative modelling is an important tool for research on complex physiological systems. Mathematical model are
playing important role in analyzing complex system. In order to create an accurate model and significant interpretations, system
identification techniques are needed. An optimized auto-regressive model based on Sequential Genetic algorithm (Sequential

simple ARX are compared here in terms of their fitness, and linear dynamic behaviour of the cerebral auto regulation is analyzed
using frequency response, bode plot. Results based on a case study show that the optimized ARX model has, in general a higher
accuracy of prediction and it can also be easily interpreted to provide physiologically meaningful information.

Abstract-An implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological
structure, or enhance an existing biological structure. The various techniques for depositing hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on
medical devices are continuously being developed and investigated. From the vast number of experimental deposition processes
which are now available, this review will focus only on HA coatings. This review will discuss the various bio materials, coating
processes of HA coated bio-implants. From the studies observed in the literature, current research on Plasma Sprayed HA
coatings has shown some promises that may eliminate some of the problems associated with the HVOF process. It has been
generally accepted that HA coatings improve bone strength and initial osseo integration rate. However, optimal coating properties
required to achieve maximal bone response are yet to be reported. As such, the use of well-characterized HA surfaces in the
evaluation of biological responses should be well documented to avoid controversial results. In addition, future investigations of
the coating process should include clinical trials, to continue the understanding of bone responses to coated-implant surfaces of
different properties.

Abstract-An oversampling ADC requires a decimation filter to reduce the rate of samples for the succeeding stages running at
slower rates. The power consumption and speed of a successive-approximation ADC predominately depends on the power
sopped up by decimator and its speed. This necessitates a need to design a low power and high speed decimation filter to improve
the overall system performance. A new algorithm based on ancient Indian mathematics is applied for the design of decimator to
serve this purpose.

Abstract - The Electromyograph (EMG) is useful to know the state of a patient under medical diagnosis and treatment. As the
number of neuromuscular patients is increasing, it is not possible to take care of all the neuromuscular patients by carrying out
manual investigations under all the conditions. Therefore it is required to design a computer aided expert system which can
analyze and interpret the EMG signal. The EMG data acquisition and preprocessing, detection of MUAPs, classification of
EMGs into similar groups, feature extraction of these groups and their usage in disease classification and diagnostics are the
important stages in computer aided EMG analysis and interpretation. The objective of the present work is to detection of
MUAPs, classification of EMGs into similar groups and time domain feature extraction of the signal for computer aided
analysis and interpretation of EMG signals for disease diagnosis. In the work real time recordings of myopathy, motor neuron
disease and normal cases have been considered for MUAP segmentation and classification by statistical technique. EMG signal
recorded by the needle electrode has been used.

are provided, which show that the proposed hardware architecture and algorithmic approach out perform more traditional
solutions, based on ATPG tools and FSM synthesis, from the point of view of both applicability and area occupation, while
reaching the same Fault Coverage.

Abstract-In current medical practice effective treatment can be obtained only with continuous monitoring. Lack of human
resources can lead to decline in quality of medical monitoring. Efficient monitoring can be made possible by using wireless
control for medical devices in client-server architecture i.e. one computer in guard room is connected to many medical devices
from different rooms. This paper describes hardware and software aspects of such structure and then presents their
implementation in a real system. An infusion pump device is upgraded with remote access capabilities using communication
software written in high level language and an electronic module based on modern system-on-chip microcontroller.

Abstract-Biopolymers can be produced through a variety of mechanisms. They can be derived from microbial systems, extracted
from higher organisms such as plants, or synthesized chemically from basic biological building blocks. A wide range of emerging
applications rely on all three of these production techniques. In recent years, considerable attention has been given to
biopolymers produced by microbes. It is on the microbial level where the tools of genetic engineering can be most readily
applied. A number of novel materials are now being developed or introduced into the market. Biopolymers are being developed
for use as medical materials, packaging, cosmetics, food additives, clothing fabrics, water treatment chemicals, industrial plastics,
absorbents, biosensors, and even data storage elements. This review identifies the possible commercial applications and describes
the various methods of production of microbial biopolymers.

Abstract- Biosensors are projected to find many applications due to their high selectivity and sensitivity, rapid reaction, economy
and ease of handling in field measurements. Even though biosensors for a wide range of environmental pollutants have been
extensively reported in the literature, the decision to develop a suitable bio sensing system that can be approved by a regulatory
perspective for environmental applications is fraught with technical issues. These issues mainly concern the biological
recognition element, the physico-chemical transducer and the interfaces between the biological and the physical components, but
also aspects of fluidics, electronics, and software for data processing. This article focused on the development of microbial-based
biosensors for environmental applications especially metal contaminants such as arsenic.

Abstract- Allergens, usually proteins capable of initiating allergic reactions are of several kinds present in various types of foods
such that the problem of food allergy is the part of a wider problem: that of all kind of adverse reaction to foods, which can also
microbial and chemical food poisoning. Approximately two percent of adults and five percent of children in the world suffer
from food allergies. Eight major classes of foods: milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nut, peanut, wheat, soybeans-
account for about 90 percent of food allergies. A number of allergenic peptides and motifs have been identified for some of the
most prominent food allergens for the eight classes of food. However, for many sources of food, it is difficult to ascertain if their
consumption can also be the cause of allergies. This situation arises as it is usually not known if identified allergen motifs are
also present in such sources of foods. In this study Food Allergen Motif Finder Tool Kit has been designed to identify protein or
short amino acid segment of protein that exactly matches a known allergen. Using the comparative approaches we have
developed a Perl program to identify food allergen in any protein sequence. An allergen peptide library was constructed for
peanut food allergen, which consist of conserved allergen sequences as well as motifs. This comprehensive program can be used
to identify position of allergen sequence & motif present in protein sequence.

PaperID_156 Biometrics: A Further Echelon of Security
Mandeep Kaur Sandhu
Lecturer in Electronics and Communication Engineering
Rayat and Bahra College of Engineering and Biotechnology Saharun (Kharar)

Abstract: The term "biometrics" is derived from the Greek words bio (life) and metric (to measure).Biometrics refers to the
automatic identification of a person based on his/her physiological or behavioural characteristics. This method of identification is
preferred over traditional methods involving passwords and PIN numbers for its accuracy and case sensitiveness. A biometric
system is essentially a pattern recognition system which makes a personal identification by determining the authenticity of a
specific physiological or behavioural characteristic possessed by the user. An important issue in designing a practical system is to
determine how an individual is identified. Depending on the context, a biometric system can be either a verification
(authentication) system or an identification system. Verification involves confirming or denying a person's claimed identity while
in identification, one has to establish a person's identity. Biometric systems are divided on the basis of the authentication medium
used. They are broadly divided as identifications of Hand Geometry, Vein Pattern, Voice Pattern, DNA, Signature Dynamics,
Finger Prints, Iris Pattern and Face Detection. These methods are used on the basis of the scope of the testing medium, the
accuracy required and speed required. Every medium of authentication has its own advantages and shortcomings. With the
increased use of computers as vehicles of information technology, it is necessary to restrict unauthorized access to or fraudulent
use of sensitive/personal data. Biometric techniques being potentially able to augment this restriction are enjoying a renewed
interest.

Abstract-The security of audio as well as video data in high end communication applications like satellites and radars is an issue
of concern these days. Designing a processor at the chip level for this requirement is by itself a challenge to VLSI engineers. This
paper aims to design a HDL based Modified low power low area audio sub word sorter unit, which is very less complex in
structure and highly efficient in terms of security and moreover fast in structure. In this paper, we examine the hard ware
implementation of powerful permutation instruction group (GRP) in low power and low area as compared to other algorithms.
This is done at the gate using Verilog HDL and Cand can be implemented in FPGA. Moreover advantage of this algorithm and
structure is its too fast in encryption as compared to other algorithm. This algorithm is implemented also in C as well as in mat
lab to check the complexity and moreover for calculating computational complexity.

Abstract-A major drawback of block discrete cosine transform-based compressed image is the appearance of visible
discontinuities along block boundaries in low bit-rate coding, which are commonly referred as blocking artifacts. Another
fundamental problem in the field of image processing is image denoising. There are several ways through which noise can be
introduced into an image, depending on how the image is created. In this paper, a post-processing method based on three separate
filtering modes is proposed for removing these discontinuities. Then a median filter is applied to remove the noise from the
image. Then evaluate the performance of the proposed method using performance metric- Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio.
Experiments shows that the proposed method gives better performance in terms of PSNR and excellent results compared with
other approaches.

Abstract The reconstructed images from JPEG compression produce noticeable image degradation near the block boundaries,
in particular for highly compressed images, because each block is transformed and quantized independently. The blocking effects
are classified into three types of noises: staircase noise, grid noise and corner outlier out of which major thrust is laid on corner
outlier in this paper. A post-processing algorithm is proposed to reduce the blocking artifacts of JPEG decompressed images at
high Quality factors. The proposed post- processing algorithm, which consists of three stages, reduces these blocking artifacts
efficiently. A comparative study between the proposed algorithm and other post-processing algorithms based on various
performance indices is made.

Abstract-Electronics has been the lifeline of modern technological advancement. Consistent increase in the component density of
integrated circuits virtue miniaturization of transistor has been instrumental in development of high speed electronic systems with
enormous memory space. The trend of denser integrated circuits has been as per roadmap predicted by Gordon Moore. But it is
being predicted that silicon will no longer be able to handle the downscaling due to physical limitations. So, need of the hour is to
study some other materials which can be used to replace silicon so that the Moores Law might be sustained. Molecules,
especially bio molecules offer an attractive option to be used as electronic material and DNA is a strong contender for the job.
Utilisations of these nanometre scale bio molecules as electron devices form the basis of nanobioelectronics.

Abstract-There is a need for a simple and robust diagnostic device which can monitor the health status of an individual.
Ayurvedic medicine, traditional and alternate medicine, stresses a balance of three elemental energies: vata, pitta, Kapha-the
three Doshas. According to Ayurveda, imbalances of Tridoshas are measured by placing the finger on the wrist and sensing the
pressure of the arterial pulse on the wrist. This enables detection of the abnormalities in the body. The paper deals with the design
and development of a novel, low-cost, non-invasive and compact device that generates pulse pressure waveforms using Infrared
sensor. This information will be an aid to the Ayurvedic experts for better diagnosis. Further, the waveforms obtained from the
device are analyzed and parameters calculated are the positive energy and negative energy content of the body, and the heart rate
of the individual.

Abstract-Automatic speech recognition enables a wide range of current and emerging applications such as automatic
transcription, multimedia content analysis, and natural human-computer interfaces. This paper provides a glimpse of the
opportunities and challenges that parallelism provides for automatic speech recognition and related application research from the
point of view of speech researchers. The increasing parallelism in computing platforms opens three major possibilities for speech
recognition systems: improving recognition accuracy in non-ideal, everyday noisy environments; increasing recognition
throughput in batch processing of speech data; and reducing recognition latency in realtime usage scenarios. This paper describes
technical challenges, approaches taken, and possible directions for future research to guide the design of efficient parallel
software and hardware infrastructures.

Abstract Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer markedly increases survival rate. Early detection of breast cancer early
is possible by digital mammography but the accuracy of diagnosis depends on the quality of the image. This paper addresses
quality improvement of mammograms in cases of microcalcifications. A morphological enhancement (MORPHEN) method is
applied to enhance the microcalcifications shown in the digital mammograms. Certain contrast enhancement measures,
histograms and image profiles are used here to prove the efficacy of the proposed technique and compare it with the conventional
methods of histogram equalization (HISTEQ) and contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE). MIAS database
has been used in the present study. Results are gratifying.

Abstract-Lovastatin is a potent hypercholesterolemic drug used for lowering blood cholesterol. It acts by competitively inhibiting
the enzyme, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. It is produced by a
variety of filamentous fungi including Penicillium species, Monascus ruber and Aspergillus terreus as a secondary metabolite.
Production of lovastatin by biotechnology decreases the production cost compared to costs of chemical synthesis. In recent years,
lovastatin has also been reported as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of various types of tumors and also play a
tremendous role in the regulation of the inflammatory and immune response, coagulation process, bone turnover,
neovascularization, vascular tone, and arterial pressure. This review focus on the structure, biosynthesis, biotechnological
production and biomedical applications of lovastatin.

AbstractDetrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a scaling method used for detecting long-range correlations in nonstationary
RR interval time series. Ectopic beats are the biological artefacts originating from local pacemakers, are the potential source of
error that cause bias in the reliable measurement of heart rate variability (HRV). The approaches like deletion and interpolation
are currently in use to eliminate the bias produced by ectopic beats. In this study, normal RR interval time series of 10 healthy
were analysed by inserting low ( =0.8), medium ( =0.4) and high ( =0.1) level artificial ectopic beats. Then the effect of ectopic
beats editing by deletion, degree-zero and degree-one interpolation on DFA have been assessed. The percentage difference in
DFA with insertion of ectopic beats is found to be function of ectopic level and amount of ectopic beats. Editing of ectopic beats
by interpolation methods is found to be superior to deletion method for DFA based HRV.

Abstract:- Constrained Redundancy reliability optimization (RRO) of networks/systems has been well studied but with reliability
as connectivity measure only. But in wide and varied real complex systems like computer networks, telecommunication
networks, transportation systems, electrical power transmission networks, internet etc., only connectivity is not sufficient
measure of performance but delay has also to be considered as it plays paramount role in mission critical systems such as
telesurgery. Along with fulfilling criterion of minimum delay, also the present day systems have to be ultra reliable. RRO of
these networks, to the best of the knowledge of the authors, integrating both reliability and delay has not been studied. In this
paper a heuristic RRO method for networks with delay has been proposed. The method advanced is also compared with an
existing efficient heuristic after incorporating modifications. The proposed method yields improved results in comparison to
modified existing heuristic.

Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc),
Bangalore, India
AbstractAssessment of effect of treatment on vitiligo involves quantification of the depigmented patches of skin. Analysis of
colour images to determine vitiligo affected regions is hindered by the effect of non-uniform illumination and reflection of light
from some regions. Segmentation process for colour images proposed in this paper involves illumination correction and
clustering of first two Independent Component Analysis (ICA) vectors. Illumination correction involves filtering of about 5% of
the DCT low spatial frequency coefficients that contribute to illumination variation, while preserving the mean intensity. DCT is
applied on the logarithm of the image. The DCT masked image is converted back to spatial domain by performing IDCT, and
then exponentiated. Eigen values of HSV and LAB vectors of the illumination compensated image are computed to calculate first
two dominant vectors of ICA. These vectors are subjected to k-means clustering. Initial results obtained by segmenting the
resultant image of ICA are promising.

Abstract-The gnathodynamometer is a device meant for the measurement of biting force and the assessment of masticator
performance. These devices reported in literature have not been very convenient to use, and have often undergone modifications.
In this paper, a systematic mechatronic approach has been followed in the design and development of a gnathodynamometer, to
overcome reported inadequacies. The design problem imposes several constraints of size, access, loading, safety, hygiene, and so
on. The gnathodynamometer developed in this work is designed for a maximum biting force of 600 N, and a maximum deflection
of 1 mm. Design of the main component, which is the fork, has been elaborately explained. Strain gauges located at the root of
the inner surface of each prong have been used to sense the strains arising due to the application of biting force. The complete
electronic circuit has been designed. Readings of biting force are displayed on a digital readout. The circuit includes selection of
strain gauges, design of Wheatstone bridge, preamplifier, mechanism for offset correction, low pass filter, and selection of a
digital readout. The complete design for the electronic circuit has been explained. The device is then calibrated and a relationship
between applied biting force and output voltage is obtained.

Abstract-The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard was created by the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Its aim is to support the distribution and viewing of medical images from CT, MRI and
other medical modalities. The DICOM format is an extension of the older NEMA standard A DICOM file contains a header and
the image data. The header stores information about the patient's name, the type of scan, position and dimension of image and
lots of other data. The image data part contains all the image information. The ANALYZE format stores the haeder (*.hdr) and
the image data (*.img) in separate files. The DICOM image data can be compressed - in contrast to ANALYZE data - either
lossless or lossy in order to reduce disk space. DICOM is the common standard for scans from hospitals

Abstract-Heart rate variability (HRV) has been reported to be altered in workers from a wide range of occupations. The present
study is focussed on assessment of association of HRV parameters among forging industry workers. The study included an
exposed group of 105 workers with age group (28.277.52) of forging industry and a control group of 50 subjects with age group
(31.94 8.96). Both the groups were assessed for parasympathetic activity using HRV parameters. Short term ECG (5 min) was
recorded at acquisition sampling rate of 512 Hz. Time domain and frequency domain parameters were calculated and analysed.
The forging industry workers showed significantly decreased resting heart rate. At the same time they also showed significantly
increases levels of parasympathetic activity as reflected in NN50, pNN50, power in high frequency band of power spectrum).
This reveals an adaptive response to physical demand of work load. Our control group belongs to academic institute who live a
sedentary life style. This reason could be attributed to the decreased parasympathetic activity among control group subjects. The
alteration is mild and likely to be corrected by non-pharmacologic interventions like physical exercise, yogic exercises and alike.
There is need to monitor ling term effects industrial hazards on cardiovascular controls system in subjects of exposed group.

Abstract--In this study two entirely non-invasive approaches and simple assumptions are taken into consideration to measure
Transthoracic Electrical Impedance (TEI) and lung volume. In the first method the fluid volume is calculated by considering a
pre defined curve and anthropometric dimensions of the human thorax, where as in the second method the thorax is considered as
a cylinder and cylindrical mathematical standard formulae are being utilized for approximation of lung volume. The thoracic
impedance is measured directly by placing the tetra polar electrodes on the right side of human thorax. Right side of the thorax is
considered to avoid incorporation of the geometrical aspects and behavior of heart. Anthropometric dimensions are taken for 6
normal male subjects of sound health. With the help of these parameters the thoracic fluid volume is predicted with two
methods. In the first method the thoracic volume has been predicted by considering the thorax as cylinder and by using basic
relations in regard to periphery and volume of the cylinder. Human thorax dimensions are approximated as height and breadth of
the cylinder and certain approximations have been adopted. Anthropometric dimension are being made for the chest at normal
resting condition and at breathe hold positions. In both the approaches the difference of measured and predicted impedances and
volumes are clearly observable.

Abstract-Here, three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) have been implemented and compared in 0.35m and 0.5m
technologies with supply voltage 3.3V and 5V respectively. The VCO has been implemented using odd number of ring
oscillators stages to get the output frequency. The frequencies of the various oscillators are controlled according to the applied
control voltages. 3-stage VCO based on MOS capacitance shows frequency [2.4256-5.3189] GHz with variation of control
voltage from [1.2-2.4] V in 0.35m technologies. In 0.5m technology 3- stage VCO based on MOS capacitance gives [3.2908-
3.6552] GHz with variation of voltage from [1.4-4.4] V.

Abstract-Object databases have been of less consideration mainstream software development as compared to the software
programming languages. During the last few years various object-relational mapping tools have sprung up to solve the object-
relational impedance mismatch between relational databases and object-oriented languages. The popularity of object-relational
mapping (ORM) tools raises the question of using an object database instead of a redundant data mapping tool and data in its
natural form as objects. The aim of this study is to find out whether object databases can be used as persistent storage in
applications instead of ORM tools and relational databases. Two popular tools from both sides were selected as reference
65 | P a g e

implementations. The features, usage and performance of these tools were then studied from the point of view of a software
development. Features of both tools were listed and compared. Usage of the tools was studied by comparing the query languages
and the actual code used to access the database. These three factors provide sufficient information if object databases can replace
ORM tools and relational databases.

Abstract-Cost Overrun is one of the major factors for the failure of a software development project. The major reason for this
difficulty is poor analysis and management of risk factors. This paper aims to find out the ways to manage and predict the
overrun in this cost by using Influence Diagram (ID). Two major risk factors having adverse impact on the cost are decided to be:
(1) creeping user requirements (2) use of unnecessary features in the project. An integration of impacts of these factors with
experts opinion and with the existing databases (consisting of probability of occurrence of risk factors) helped us to create an ID
based system that is capable to model the cost overrun. This system can be used by the software manager at any stage during
software development.

Abstract-This paper proposes a modified particle swarm optimization method with non linearly decreasing inertia weight
(MPSO-NDIW) and time varying acceleration coefficients. In this MPSO-NDIW method, proper control of the global
exploration and local exploitation is done in finding the optimum solution efficiently. In the early stage, full range of search space
is allowed for search by the PSO algorithm and in the later stages of search, fine tuning of solution is done so that the algorithm
converges to the global optima efficiently .In velocity vector equation inertia weight and acceleration coefficients are non-
linearly varied with iterations. To compare the performance of the MPSO-NDIW method with the other improved PSO, four well
known benchmark test functions are used. The results reveal that MPSO-NDIW is a efficient technique and has better
performance.

Abstract-Concrete mix design is a process of proportioning the ingredients in right proportions. Though it is based on sound
technical principles, the entire process is not in the realm of science and precise mathematical calculations. This is because of
indefinite, ambiguity, approximations and tolerances involved. This paper presents the development of a computer-aided
technique for approximate proportioning of standard concrete mixes as recommended by IS: 10262-1982 using MATLAB with
provision for errors due to sampling, casting and insufficient curing. The results in terms of quantities of cement fine aggregate,
coarse aggregate and water obtained using the technique for various grades of standard concrete mixes are in good agreement
with those obtained by the experimental investigations. Details of the algorithm are described and comparative study is presented.

Abstract-Advance in technology have allowed for the development of wireless sensor networks containing of small autonomous
sensor nodes that communicate with one another via wireless technology. Most designs of wireless sensor networks concentrate
on miniaturization where sensor nodes can only communicate over a short distance and must be closely positioned to monitor an
area. Networks have great potential to be employed in mission critical situations like battlefields but also in more everyday
security and commercial applications such as building and traffic surveillance, habitat monitoring and smart homes etc. However,
wireless sensor networks pose unique security challenges. In a wireless sensor network (WSN), reducing power consumption is
of utmost importance. Battery operated sensor nodes need low-power components designed to prolong their lifetime in the field.
This gives rise to a need for WSN specific hardware which is designed to prolong the life-time of the sensor nod.

Abstract-We refer to localization as the problem of estimating the spatial coordinates of wireless nodes in an ad-hoc network.
Wireless sensor network is an example of such a network, where localization as a problem has been a challenging topic for
several years. The position of sensor nodes can be either manually configured before deployment or a GPS receiver can be built
into each of these nodes. The former approach is very tedious and error-prone while the latter is a costly proposition in terms of
volume, money and power consumption. In this thesis, we consider the problem of determining the positions of wireless nodes
using range measurements from multiple, sparsely located, beacon stations with known locations. The major problem is
overcoming range measurement inaccuracies. With the growth of wireless sensor networks there is also need for the effective &
secure network mechanisms. Because wireless sensor networks may interact with sensitive data and operate in unreceptive
unattended environments and they characterized by severely constrained computational and energy resources, and an ad hoc
operational environment, it is very important that these security concerns be addressed from the beginning of the network system
design.

Abstract-The effectiveness of wireless sensor network highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. Optimizing the number
of sensors to be deployed will provide better results in terms of performance metrics and will improve the quality of
communication. In this paper, the sensor deployment is optimized in the specified area. The proposed algorithm has been
compared with the existing distributed self-spreading algorithm and the Reduced Distributed self-spreading algorithm.
Simulation results show that the proposed technique gives improved results for performance metrics such as coverage,
uniformity, outage probability and time of deployment. Above all, along with optimum deployment with the proposed technique,
it also offers benefit of minimum energy consumption. Some of the applications of WSN are in monitoring, tracking or
controlling like habitat monitoring, object tracking, fire detection, land slide detection, battlefield surveillance, home automation
and many more....

Abstract-The Frequency Assignment Problem is assignment of frequencies or channels to establish link between base station and
mobile transmitter in cellular system. To avoid interference, minimum separation between assigned frequencies is required. This
problem is NP-hard. Due to limited availability of spectrum and reuse of same frequencies at different geographical locations, an
excellent assignment is to be done, which satisfy these constraints with respect to demand. An improved ANTS algorithm is
purposed to solve this assignment. Frequency assignment results are obtained for 21-cell Philadelphia benchmark instance.

Abstract- Apparatus and method for the early detection of somnolence of a person, particularly of a person gripping an object
such as a steering wheel .A wrist band is worn by the person and sensors are placed on the persons skin by band to sense the
physiological parameters of the user, including peripheral pulse rate variability, peripheral vasodilation. If the majority of these
parameters are indicative of increased somnolence, an audio alert is provided to the user. The parameters monitored are analog
signals in nature. They are amplified, filtered, and converted into a digital format for further processing by microcontroller or
embedded unit. For each parameter an individualized baseline is computed and stored in memory. When the physiological value
deviates from a preset baseline value an alert alarm is raised.

Abstract - Sensor deployment is an important problem in mobile wireless sensor networks. In the applications where prior
knowledge of the environment cannot be obtained, sensors may have to be randomly air-dropped and human intervention after
deployment to recharge or replace node batteries may not be feasible. Mobile sensors are practically desirable in this situation
because they have the capability to move around and re-adjust their positions.This paper presents a modified distributed self
spreading algorithm for mobile sensors. Performance metrics to evaluate algorithm performance are coverage, uniformity, and
Time and outage probability. The simulation results show the improvement in coverage, uniformity, time for deployment, outage
probability compared to DSSA.

Abstract- X-ray crystallography is essentially a form of very high resolution microscopy. It enables us to visualize protein
structures at the atomic level and enhances our understanding of protein function. Specifically we can study how proteins interact
with other molecules, how they undergo conformational changes, and how they perform catalysis in the case of enzymes. Armed
with this information we can design novel drugs that target a particular protein, or rationally engineer an enzyme for a specific
industrial process.

PaperID_382 Fundamentals and Applications Of Maldi-Tof MS

Corresponding author: Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology, NIT, Jalandhar.
Abstract-MALDI was developed for the ionisation of relatively large polypeptides and proteins but its application has widened to incorporate
glycoproteins, oligonucleotides and complex carbohydrates. A great advantage of MALDI TOF MS is that the process of soft-ionisation causes little or no
fragmentation of analytes, allowing the molecular ions of analytes to be identified, even within mixtures. MALDI TOF MS analysis is sensitive and very
rapid as once the sample has been mixed with a 'matrix' on a MALDI target, a spectrum can be generated within seconds. Hence, the majority of protein
and oligonucleotide analysis in the context of high throughput proteomics and genomics is carried out by MALDI TOF mass spectrometry.

Abstract- In mammography, the interesting characteristics of an image are malignant masses, micro-calcifications and skin
thickening, of which the last two are said to be indirect signs of malignancy. The mammograms, as normally viewed, display a
small percentage of the information they detect and that is due to the minor difference in x-ray attenuation between normal
glandular tissues and malignant disease. This makes the detection of small malignancies difficult. Digital medical image
processing techniques use denoising and image enhancement techniques so as to reveal any tumours that may not be obvious and
help the oncologist decide. There have been a number of previous works on image enhancement and noise removal. However,
segmenting the image is still in its developing stage. This paper is intended to contribute to the medical community by proposing
a novel approach in segmentation using Q-learning for multilevel thresholding and segmentation of the given mammogram.
Furthermore various features such as skewness, compactness Gray Level co-occurrence (GLC) matrix, euler number of
cancerous and normal mammograms are computed and compared against standard thresholds designed for the above features.
Results of the proposed classification methodology are presented.

Abstract: - Wavelet thresholding is a signal estimation technique that exploits the capabilities of wavelet transform for signal
denoising. But the choice of thresholding function has restricted there wide spread use in image denoising application. In this
paper we proposed a computationally more efficient thresholding scheme by incorporating the neighbouring wavelet coefficients,
with different threshold value for different sub bands, it is based on generalized Gaussian Distribution (GGD) modeling of sub
band coefficients. In this proposed method, the choice of the threshold estimation is carried out by analyzing the statistical
parameters of the wavelet sub band coefficients like standard deviation, arithmetic mean and geometrical mean. It is
demonstrated that our proposed method performs better than: VisuShrink, Normalshrink and NeighShrink algorithms in terms of
PSNR ratio.

Abstract- Nano biosensors are recently receiving much more attention in health care area particularly in diagnostic purposes. In
this work, we developed the nano biosensor for glucose detection by using the compact nano material which is Zinc oxide.
Glucose is the crucial factor for determining the most of the diseases which have the endocrine origin. Mostly, glucose is used to
check in the diabetes condition where the people who have the altered blood glucose level. The sensor was designed in
potentiometric method, where the potential were measured as an output of this sensor. Interest to the selection of Zinc oxide, it
has tremendous attractive feature like wide band gap, biocompatible nature and it is the best suitable candidate for multiple
biosensing applications.Thin films were prepared through the chemical spray pyrolysis method, where the zinc acetate was a
precursor. The glass substrate was used and it maintained at 350C temperature. Material characterizations such as X-Ray
Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV VIS absorption spectroscopy (UV), and Fourier transform Infra
Red spectroscopy (FTIR) to prove the properties of prepared material. The glucose sensing were performed with the Wheatstone
bridge, Single arm varying bridge was developed by using IC 741. The one arm was replaced and the thin film was connected
(1cm1cm in size), before connecting to the circuit the resistance of the thin film was measured, in order to select remaining
resistors of that bridge. The known concentration of glucose added to the thin film, then the resistance nature of the thin film

varies and the output was measured. The problem of nonlinear output arises in that bridge model when we used to vary different
concentration of glucose. This is overcome by another circuit which we developed, for eliminate the non linearity error due that
bridge. The smooth result was achieved by the Linearized circuit and it gives accurate output.

Abstract The Electrocardiogram provides the valuable information regarding the cardiovascular diseases. Any abnormality in
rhythm can provide valuable information about the type of disease. Various methods for classification of arrhythmias have been
developed by researchers and clustering technique is one of them. Although it is an unsupervised type of technique, it is advisable
technique for analysis and interpretation of long term ECG Holter records. In this paper, Ascending Hierarchical clustering has
been used for analysis. Different types of linkages have been used for analysis. The MIT-BIH arrhythmia data base has been used
and on the proposed approach data is classified into five arrhythmia beats type i.e. Normal(N), Premature ventricular contraction
(PVC), Paced beats(P), Left Bundle Branch Block(LBBB) and Right Bundle Branch Block. The data is preclustered and then
analysis is done using different linkages. It has been seen that ward linkage has got maximum success rate for arrhythmia
classification.

Abstract Fingerprint images obtained from various sources contain noise. It is very necessary to remove this noise to ensure
the performance of automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS). In this paper, we proposed a fingerprint image
enhancement algorithm to improve the clarity between background and foreground. Algorithm also improves the continuity of
ride and valley structure. Algorithm also estimates the orientation field of a normalized image. FVC 2004 database is used to test
our algorithm. Tests show that algorithm improves the performance of automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS) in
terms of false acceptance ratio (FAR) and false rejection ratio (FRR).

Abstract- To investigate the possible biochemical metabolisms for excess phosphate uptake in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR)
with single-stage oxic process, which was reported using glucose as the sole carbon source previously, glucose and acetate were
fed to two SBRs as the sole carbon source, respectively. The changes of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), glycogen and the
removal of phosphorus were compared between two SBRs. It was observed that the phosphorus removal efficiency was 89.18
92.4% with glucose, and 26.8 - 32.5% with acetate, although the former showed much lower accumulations/transformations of
PHAs. Instead, the former showed a much higher transformation of glycogen. The facts suggested that glycogen could replace
PHAs to supply energy for phosphate uptake under the single-stage oxic condition. Furthermore, the possible biochemical
metabolisms were proposed to describe the relation between phosphate uptake and energy storages formations under such a
single-stage oxic process. Such a process may serve as a prototype for the development of alternative biological and chemical
options for phosphate removal from wastewaters.

Abstract-The first and second heart sounds are the major sounds in a complete cardiac cycle. This proposed algorithm is
automatic detection of first and second heart sound based on 3-order normalized average Shannon energy envelope. Due to
calculation of Shannon energy envelope most of the low level murmurs and background noises get suppressed. Hence, the
excellent detection of first and second heart sound is achieved. The performance of algorithm have been evaluated for 55
recordings (from different subjects and at all four auscultations areas) each of 2 minutes, out of which 2520 cycles were selected
for analysis. Out of 2520 cycles, the 2409 cycles were correctly detected. The test result shows that the proposed algorithm has

Abstract- Dengue needs special attention and precautions in terms of morbidity and mortality. Dengue fever is a benign acute
febrile syndrome occurring in tropical regions. In a small proportion of cases, the virus causes increased vascular permeability
that leads to a bleeding diathesis or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) known as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF).
Secondary infection by a different dengue virus serotype has been confirmed as an important risk factor for the development of
DHF. In 20-30% of DHF cases, the patient develops shock, known as the dengue shock syndrome (DSS).

Abstract-In human beings a normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. These limits
are determined by the 2.5th lower and upper percentile, so values outside this range do not necessarily indicate disease. One
common definition of thrombocytopenia is a platelet count below 50,000 per microliter. The number of platelets in a blood
sample also decreases rather quickly with time and a low platelet count may be caused by a delay between sampling and analysis.

Abstract-This paper presents the circuit design for functional electrical stimulation (FES) system for the lower extremities. In
surface stimulation of paralyzed muscle of patients with the stroke the stimulator is used and results in limb activation. The FES
circuit consists of 555 timer, common emitter amplifier, and IGBT (Insulate gate bipolar transistor). The IGBT is used for the
isolation of the circuit from the human body to protect from the high voltage. The circuit is used for the surface electrode that is
the microelectrode for detecting the signal from upper neuron and to stimulate the lower neuron both. The stimulator is designed
according to the following specifications: input voltage Vin= 15V, minimum value of pulse-width Wp=300 sec 1msec,
amplitude Ap=8V-14V, and frequency fp= 20Hz-50Hz. The generated signal can give up to 13.5mA pulse current for
stimulation. The FES circuit has two channels, channel 1 and channel 2 .This circuit uses two switches for both channels output
.In the first channel output, there is no delay circuit and in the second channel output, delay circuit is used. The circuit gives two
simultaneous pulses for stimulating the two muscles at the same time. For stimulating the single muscle, the one switch is
disconnected from the battery or power supply.

PaperID_385 Biomedical Signal Processing: An Emergent Trend in Rehabilitation Engineering
Divyam Kumar
Electronics and Communication Engineering Department,
Dr. B.R.Ambedkar N.I.T.Jalandhar, (Punjab), India
Abstract- Biomedical signals are observations of physiological activities of organisms, ranging from gene and protein sequences,
to neural and cardiac rhythms, to tissue and organ images. Biomedical signal processing aims at extracting significant
information from biomedical signals. Decades ago, the primary focus of biomedical signal processing was on filtering signals to
remove noise. Sources of noise arise from imprecision of instruments to interference of power lines. Other sources are due to the
biological systems themselves under study. Organisms are complex systems whose subsystems interact, so the measured signals
of a biological subsystems usually contain the signals of other subsystems. Removing unwanted signal components can then
underlie subsequent biomedicine discoveries. A fundamental method for noise cancellation analyzes the signal spectra and
suppresses undesired frequency components. Another analysis framework derives from statistical signal processing. This
framework treats the data as random signals; the processing, e.g. Wiener filtering (1) or Kalman filtering (2),(3), utilizes
statistical characterizations of the signals to extract desired signal components.

Abstract- Gas hydrates are crystalline solids that form from mixtures of water and light natural gases such as methane, carbon
dioxide, ethane, propane and butane. Methanogenesis bacterial excretions and its methane trapping ability are generally
responsible for its gigatonic availability on sea-shores. Methane hydrates is of adequate interest for their potential as an energy
resource and for their potential role in global climate change. From an energy resource point of view, the enormous amounts of
methane hydrate under the ocean beds and beneath arctic permafrost represent an estimated three times of all estimated fossil fuel
(coal, oil, natural gas) reserves on earth, about 10,000 gigatons which can supply our all kinds of energy needs for next 3000
years. Researches show its presence from ranges 20 - 2000 m below the sea beds. The difficulty with recovering this source of
energy is that the fuel is in solid form and is not amenable to conventional gas and oil recovery techniques as well as drilling
hazards. India along with China, Japan and Mexico, are the few nations that have launched projects for the exploration of fuel
resource methane hydrate. Besides these, the global climate change related to possible methane emission due to such activities is
another alarming issue.

Abstract: Hydroxyapatite (Hap) is the most promising bioceramic material for orthopedic applications because of its similarity in
chemical structure to living bone and teeth (with wide porosity ranges).Several methods are there to produce pours HAp. The
simplest method involves the incorporation of volatile compounds during the heating process. Here Hap synthesized from dead
snail shells is used as the raw materials and some organic additives like naphthalene are used as the ortganic additives. Porous
HAp ceramics with porosity up to 53% have been successfully and rapidly fabricated. The porosity of the ceramics can be
controlled by adjusting the starting material, green density, sintering time, or temperature. Pore size can also be adjusted. The
addition of organic additives like naphthalene in the green specimens helps in adjusting porosity.

Abstract-For several ailments like chronic neck pain, cervical traction is considered a suitable treatment. The commercial devices
for cervical traction include simple rope slung over the door through pneumatic to electronic systems. A closed loop cervical
traction system with constant or intermittent application of force has been designed by the authors. In this system, the motor
applying traction force is controlled for delivery of precise force to the patient cervical region. The tension in the rope applying
force to the patient is measured. This is used as a feedback to dynamically control the motor in a unique two stage control
strategy, for precise delivery of force. The measurement of rope tension, design considerations for the system, use of specialised
torque motor for application of static force and an ingenious control strategy are described in this paper. The designed system not
only enables precise control of force but also ensures no overshoot and no jerks to the patient.

Dilip Kumar
Senior Design Engineer, C-DAC, Mohali
Abstract-Advanced research on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been studied and employed in many applications viz.,
chemical industry, automotive safety, indoor applications and many more. Typically, sensor nodes have several issues such as
limited battery life, short radio transmission range and small memory speed. However, the most severe constraint of the nodes is
their limited battery energy resource because they cease to function when their battery deplete. In this paper, we have considered
three types of sensor nodes, primarily with different energy levels to analyze the lifetime of the network. We have also
implemented a bitwise exclusive OR operation on the collected data by the cluster head nodes in order to prevent the sending of
the same data sensed by the member nodes close to each other. We have evaluated the performance of our protocol through
simulations. Simulation results show that our protocol offers a much better performance than the existing protocols in terms of
stability and network lifetime.

Surgery. The progressive development toward the therapeutic use of nanorobots should be observed as the natural result from
some ongoing and future achievements in biomedical instrumentation, wireless communication, remote power transmission,
nanoelectronics, new materials engineering, chemistry, proteomics, and photonics. To illustrate the nanorobot integrated circuit
architecture and layout described here, a computational approach with the application of medical nanorobotics for Angioplasty
Surgery is simulated using clinical data. Integrated simulation can provide interactive tools for addressing nanorobot choices on
sensing, hardware design specification, manufacturing analysis, and methodology for control investigation. In the proposed 3D
prototyping, a surgeon can make the Angioplasty Surgery with the less invasive technique. Therefore, this architecture provides a
suitable choice to establish a practical medical nanorobotics platform for in vivo health monitoring and treatment Purpose.

Abstract-This paper investigates different caching strategies proposed in the recent past and highlights their merits. The major
issues on which emphasis is given in this paper is cooperative caching which allows the sharing and coordination of cached data
among multiple nodes. Due to mobility and resource constraints of ad-hoc networks, cooperative caching techniques designed for
wired networks may not be applicable for ad-hoc networks. In this paper we have proposed hybrid prefetching and caching for
mobile ad-hoc networks.
