Computerized methods are used in medical imaging to image the inner portions of the human body for medical diagnosis. Image segmentation plays an important role in diagnosis, surgical planning, navigation and various medical evaluations. Manual, semi-automatic and automatic methods are existing for segmentation of the region of interest. In this paper, a hybrid approach for brain tumor detection and classification through magnetic resonance images has been proposed. First phase of the proposed approach deals with image preprocessing which includes noise filtering, skull detection, etc. The second phase deals with feature extraction of MR brain images using gray level co-occurrence matrix. Third phase deals with classification of inputs into normal or abnormal using Least Squares Support Vector Machine classifier with Multilayer perceptron kernel. Final phase is the segmentation of the tumor part from the brain using fast bounding box. The experiments were carried out on 100 images consisting of 25 normal and 75 abnormal from a real human brain and synthetic MRI dataset. The classification accuracy on both training and test images was found to be 96.63%.

Graphical password has been introduced as an alternative to text based approaches motivated by the fact that humans can remember images better than text. In this paper we have proposed a graphical user authentication scheme that is a hybrid technique, combination of recognition based scheme and dynamic graphics. The scheme basically focuses on resistivity to shoulder surfing attacks without sacrificing usability, while at the same time improving strength against guessing attacks. The proposed work exploits novel concept of dynamic graphics in which colored objects are associated with the individual password portfolio images and on the screen the color of these objects changes rapidly. The user is required to click at the instant when the desired color associated with the portfolio image is displayed on the screen. User study demonstrated that the scheme is robust, secure and offers high usability and memorability. Hence, can be easily adopted for authentication in public places such as ATMs, access control, cyber cafes, mobile phones etc. without requiring any hardware changes in the existing set-up.

The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is most widely used techniques to detect cardiac diseases. In this paper we propose ECG signal analysis and classification method using wavelet energy histogram method and support vector machine (SVM). The classification of cardiac arrhythmia in the ECG signal consists of three stages including ECG signal preprocessing, feature extraction and heartbeats classification. The discrete wavelet transform is used as preprocessing tool for signal denoising and feature extraction such as R point location, QRS complex detection. Morphological features extracted from the QRS complex are employed as input to the classifier. Binary SVM is used as a classifier to classify the input ECG beat into four classes i.e. Normal, Left bundle branch block, Right bundle branch block and Premature ventricular contraction. MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is used for performance analysis. The proposed classifier performs well with an average sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 99.66%, positive prediction of 99%, false prediction of 0.0033, and average classification rate of 99.75%.

In this paper we present two type of real time water velocity measurement system, first contact type water velocity measurement and another is non-contact type water velocity measurement system. In contact type, Hall Effect water flow sensor is used as a sensing unit, as water flows through that sensor, it gives corresponding pulse signal, By counting number of pulses from the output of the sensor, it will be calibrated using Arduinouno board to find the water velocity. Non-contact type velocity measurement system is based on video processing based optical flow technique. The optical flow is estimated from consecutive frames from which displacement is calculated through sparse optical flow algorithm such as pyramidical Lucas-Kanade approach. The results for Non-contact type technique shown in the paper are calculated using CMOS camera on the canal near Khadkwasla Damp at Pune.

A simple Coaxial-fed antenna with frequency-band reconfigurable characteristics is presented here. This proposed antenna consists of a modified patch structure with annular-ring slots etched on it. In order to generate frequency reconfigurable characteristics different combination of ON/OFF states PIN diodes are used. These diodes are situated as switches in curve type slots. Antenna is operable in three modes on the basis of combination of ON/OFF states of the switches. This antenna is able to maintain a return loss below -10 dB for the GPS L5 Band (1.164 GHz to 1.189 GHz) exactly and 2.6 GHz for mobile broadband.

The aim of the TCP/IP protocols and various algorithms is to provide an end-to-end reliable communication in the World Wide Web communication with prime focus on quality of services. And in order to provide this the network which governs the communication must be congestion free. Congestion can be defined as: Any such event that consequence the degradation of performance and denial of services is congestion which are promised earlier (goal of reliable networking). The researchers are working for solution to the congestion problem from 1988. Many algorithms in this category have already been proposed but the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the network needs an adaptive algorithm in every aspect. Ones the congestion occur normally algorithms reduce sending rate and later on recover it, but The cost of facing congestion is very high. And since TCP is widely accepted protocol for reliable communication, hence any algorithm in this category must not violate the TCP semantics. So, algorithms must prevent congestion and detection and recovery must be the last option. In this paper, we proposed a probabilistic model for improving the performance of the network and try to prevent congestion with cubic window adjustment function and adapt the variability in the network automatically. Since we waste the maximum time during communication in waiting for the acknowledgement and in retransmission of lost packets, this algorithm mainly focused on the avoiding the unnecessary “waiting and retransmission” and minimizing the complexity to calculation of the congestion window size.

India's Energy consumption rate has increased in 21st century due to its economic growth and steady rise in GDP. The energy demand is increased due to evolution of new electronic gadgets to improve the life style. India's Energy consumption in residential buildings is about 40 percent of total. There is a 30 to 40 percent of energy saving opportunities existing in this sector with minimum efforts. India framed Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) to adopt energy conservation methods in buildings. In this paper, we demonstrate the energy savings with efficient utilities compared to conventional ones through a real time two room building model. Two identical rooms in a building have been considered in which one is equipped with highly efficient utilities whereas the other room with conventional utilities of same capacity. In addition to that, the scheduled controlling mechanism is also implemented in energy efficient room to automate as well as to increase the energy savings further. From the investigations, it is concluded that the visual comfort has been increased by 25 percent and power savings by 57 percent in lighting system of efficient room. Further, it is also observed that 18 percent of energy is saved by using efficient fans. With efficient lighting, fans and air conditioning systems, overall room energy efficiency has been improved by 25 percent. In future, renewable energy sources and advance control strategies will be incorporated to make building net zero energy and green buildings.
