Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) uses a pair of electrodes to artificially stimulate skeletal muscles and produce movement in cases like stroke or spinal cord injury where nerve supply is lost due to disease or damage. For effective stimulation, the electrodes have to be placed over the appropriate area on the skin and should be fixed firmly. We present an electrode fore-arm and wrist band which uses an insulating layer, a conductive cloth layer and a thin layer of conductive gel, which can make positioning of electrodes easy, can easily connect to the stimulator and provide stimulation comparable to the hydrogel electrodes.

Atom search optimization (ASO) is a new star among metaheuristic techniques with very contestant offerings. It is based on the atomic movement naturally, where atoms interact with each other through interaction forces resulting from the potential of Lennard-Jones and constraint forces resulting from the potential of bond-length. In this paper, ASO is used to solve optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The proposed method optimal power flow using atom search optimization (OPF-ASO) has been applied to the standard IEEE 30-bus test system for different objectives. In addition, in addition, the results obtained using OPF-ASO were compared to those obtained using other techniques mentioned in the literature. Results obtained and compared indicate that OPF-ASO provides a robust, high quality solution with different complexities.

Healthcare wireless sensor network (HWSN) is the emerging technology necessary to frequently monitor the patient’s condition. It collects the data from the patient where the data might be critical or noncritical. There is no need of doctors to check the patient’s condition each time. There are number of sensors which sense the patient’s physical details including movements, blood pressure sensor etc,. The major challenge in healthcare wireless sensor network is that the data packets must reach the Physician on time and also reduce congestion while routing the data packets which stores the patient details so that it may increase the lifetime of the patient. This paper gives the survey of varies types of mechanism used in HWSN and the results of each mechanism based on energy consumption, throughput, end to end delay and packet loss.

In this work GWO tuned interline power flow controller based damping controller is proposed to enhance dynamic stability of power sys-tem. The small signal transfer function model of IPFC has been used for this study. The IPFC based lead-lag controller parameters are tuned by GWO, PSO and DE techniques. The input mechanical power to generator has been changed to create disturbance in power system and ITAE based criterion has been chosen as objective function for power oscillation damping. The speed and real power deviation subject to the disturbance have been observed and it is compared with various optimization techniques. Stepwise procedure has been performed, that follows IPFC basing controller can damp oscillation much effectively as compared to PSO and DE techniques.

This paper presents Interior search algorithm for solving economic load dispatch problem of a microgrid. ISA is a aesthetic seeking algorithm which is inspired from the interior design and decoration. The efficacy of ISA has been validated on a simple microgrid test system which comprises wind generators, fuel cells, diesel generators. Simulation results reveal that ISA appears to be a robust unconventional technique for elucidating the ELD problems in microgrid when compared with the other optimization techniques taking into consideration the superiority of the solution attained.

This work proposes dual input interleaved Single End Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) for powering electric vehicle, which helps smooth switching between hybrid power sources. The two power sources considered in this work are Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell System (PEMFCS) and Lithium – ion batteries. These power sources are connected across the dual input SEPIC (DC/DC) converter to power the BLDC motor, which is used in electric vehicle. The proposed dual input interleaved SEPIC converter helps to reduce the input and output ripple current below 3% when compared to series connected dual input SEPIC converter, which helps to drive BLDC motor smoothly under any load condition. The proposed system is developed, simulated and verified using MATLAB/Simulink.

In recent days the wireless sensor nodes are implemented in various applications. Formation of wireless network using sensor nodes facing a lot of real time issues like energy computation and communication overhead. The sensor nodes are powered up by battery sources. Once the sensor node is deployed in real time environment, changing the battery source like clockwork is not possible. Hence finest cluster architecture was developed for node connection, node communication and to implement energy efficient wireless sensor network. In the proposed work the sensor nodes are designed with ARM LPC2148 processors which support the real time emulation and embedded trace. Using this sensor node, an optimised wireless network was developed with experimental set up. The proposed hardware was tested and various evaluation factors are analysed. Problems related with the design of sensor nodes and network establishment is explained. Depending upon the application, sensor node has to be incorporated into the network.
