Multi input multi output (MIMO) system with the multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver is the emerging technology in the modern wireless system. MIMO systems are well adopted due to its high spectral efficiency and high data rates. For the detection of MIMO systems, a powerful technique called Lattice Reduction (LR) algorithm are used to obtain the better orthogonality in the channel matrices and is aided with the linear and low complexity detectors such as Zero forcing(ZF) and Minimum mean square error (MMSE) for the reduction in complexity. In this paper we propose a new algorithm called Enhanced lattice reduction algorithm to improve the error performance for the linear detectors with the lesser complexity and also it is aided with the non linear precoding called Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) in the presence of channel state information (CSI). Lattice reduction aided with THP improves the performance linearly. BER performance of the proposed algorithm is determined and it is compared with the other LR aided algorithms in the literature.

The reliability, efficiency, and controllability of Photo Voltaic (PV) power systems can be increased by embedding the components of a Boost Converter. Technology of boost converter should overcome the main problems of manufacturing cost, efficiency and production. The key factor to limit the life span of a PV inverter is the huge electrolytic capacitor across the Direct Current (DC) bus for energy decoupling. A boost converter is a DC-DC power converter with higher output voltage, but it produces some ripple current. In order to improve the efficiency of the boost converter and reduce the ripple current, an interleaved boost converter is used. This paper presents a two-phase interleaved boost converter which ensures 180° phase shift between the two interleaved converters. This paper presents a two phase Interleaved Boost Converter with Proportional Integral (PI) controller. PI is designed for output voltage regulation and this boost converter is simulated for various Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) scheme. This simulation results shows output voltage is well tracked and it improves the efficiency and reduces the ripple current.

Relay feedback tests are carried out on 3- by- 3 multi input multi output (MIMO) system. The system considered here consists of component transfer functions of first order plus dead time (FOPDT) type with variable time delays. Analytical expressions for relay responses in time domain for the interactive transfer functions of the systems are derived. All parameters of the system are estimated with the help of relay responses. The proposed approach is illustrated using Ogunnaike Ray (OR) distillation column model. The model parameters thus obtained can be used to develop model based control schemes.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of trending technology in wireless communication. Energy consumption is a major issue in WSN. Therefore most of the routing protocols are focused on energy efficiency. Clustering mechanism is one of the popular WSNs routing technique. In this paper we'll discuss about Stable Election Protocol (SEP), a two level heterogeneous protocol and its two extensions, Z-SEP and TSEP; which uses clustering technique for data transmission. In Z-SEP some nodes transmits data directly to base station and some use clustering technique. TSEP is a three-level heterogeneous reactive protocol, where cluster members transmit data to their cluster head only when sensed data exceeds some threshold. We then compare their performance based on network lifetime, throughput and stability period.

This paper presents the effect of source voltage and load capacitance on the performance of CMOS Schmitt Trigger circuit with self-bias transistor (SBT) technique which was used to reduce power. The CMOS Schmitt Trigger circuit was modified by designing the transistors aspect ratio on the basis of conventional CMOS Schmitt Trigger and it is implemented using CADENCE Virtuoso in Spectra Simulator using UMC-180nm technology for different modified design. Results are compared in terms of propagation delay, power, and energy-delay product. From the simulation results, the modified CMOS Schmitt Trigger was able to operate between 0.8V to 1.5V voltage range.

Earlier detection of Cardiac arrhythmias from long term ECG recording is one of the complex problems in signal processing. In this paper, we proposed an effective algorithm to detect and classify the cardiac abnormalities. By extracting different features in time domain, frequency domain and nonlinear features from heart rate variability (HRV) signals, the algorithm can differentiate between the types of arrhythmias. The features extracted from HRV signal are used to train and test the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to classify Normal Beat, Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC), Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB), and Paced Beat. The ECG signal is downloaded from MIT-BIH database. Training and testing of classification algorithm yields overall accuracy of 90.26%.

Now-a-days, in distribution system, power quality problems are becoming the most prominent issues because of the presence of unbalanced and nonlinear loads. In this paper(Distribution Static Compensator) DSTATCOM, which is one of the popular custom power device, is used as compensator for mitigating the power quality (PQ) issues. It is always connected in shunt with the system. The DSTATCOM comprises of the voltage source inverter(VSI) which is used to inject the compensating currents. Here, split capacitor based VSI topology is applied. Taking into account the issue of capacitor unbalance split VSI topology the dc voltage is maintained by tuning Proportional Integral (PI) controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique, which is found to be providing superior performance in terms of source currents, THD, dc link voltage ripples etc. An extensive digital simulation has been carried out to evaluate the compensator performance using MATLAB environment.

The implementation of the artificial neural networks using electromagnets has been discussed in this paper. This novel ANN system comprises of electromagnets as its neurons and the inputs are also applied through magnets and the outputs are read as the magnetic field intensities. It follows all the principles from the traditional artificial neural networks. The added advantage of this implementation is that its magnetic field interactions will yield the outputs instantly without any explicit computations at all unlike in the case of the conventional ANN systems. So, in this respect the proposed system is more efficient against the ANN implementations in practice.

Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is a promising methodology for efficiently capturing the cross-cutting functionalities (concerns) as independent units called aspects. Inheritance of classes and aspects play a vital role in defining the units of encapsulation. Hence, it is essential to quantitatively capture the impact of inheritance in AOSD using design level metrics and to infer on the higher level quality attribute, reusability. An application to automate the processes of a typical University has been developed in order to study the effect of using inheritance over the versions of an aspectized AO application. A set of metrics to capture the manifestations of inheritance is proposed for measurement. An automated tool named as Aspect Oriented Software Reusability Measurement AOSRM is also designed and developed to calculate the values of the proposed metrics. Based on the obtained metric values for Java and AspectJ versions of the case study application, inheritance in AspectJ versions showed a positive impact on reusability of software.
