A large number of vehicle accidents and its associated human fatalities occur throughout the world due to drowsiness or health-related issues of the driver. Such mis-happenings can be reduced by integrating a driver-health monitor into the automotive. Different techniques such as camera-based image processing, photoplethysmograph, electroencephalograph, etc. have been employed to develop driver-state monitors. They use either multiple electrodes or require direct optical contact with the human body or need complex signal conditioning algorithms. In this paper, we develop a basic framework in the direction of developing a simple real-time heart-rate (HR) monitoring system using non-contact capacitive electrocardiograph (ECG). The system uses of an electrode structure which can be integrated within a steering wheel and simple, low-cost signal processing blocks. The system efficiency is verified through extensive testing on a number of volunteers in multiple scenarios and multiple electrode configurations with respect to the steering wheel. These tests show that the proposed system gives good quality ECG signals and estimates HR with good accuracy. The capability of the system as a reliable drowsiness monitor is also tested and encouraging results are obtained.

In this paper a new defense mechanism using image processing has been implemented which can acquire targets at long distances with high precision in various weather conditions. The main objective is to make an effective tool for the armed forces which can guard the border areas. The mechanism consists of two modules: targeting unit and firing unit. The targeting unit has a microcontroller along with sensors to detect the presence of humans in the targeted area and processes various atmospheric parameters electronically. LASER pointer is used to determine if the desired target is hit or missed by tracking the path of the bullet and determining the point of intersection with the LASER. The targeting unit has special mechanism which can position the gun automatically once the parameters are obtained.

The problem of controlling the apex height of a two-mass robot hopping on a massless elastic foundation is addressed. A backstepping controller is used to stabilize the dynamics of the robot in the flight and contact phases and a discrete controller is used to stabilize the overall hybrid dynamics. The efficacy of the controller is demonstrated using simulations.

This paper aims to show better performance of Fractional Order Integral State Feedback (FOISF) controller over Integral State Feedback (ISF) controller with experimental validation in level control of a two tank (non interactive) system. A nonlinear as well as a linear model of the system is obtained using physical laws and experimental open loop response. Considering the linear model an ISF controller has been designed using pole placement technique. FOISF controller is designed considering the nonlinear model using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Proposed controllers are validated in an experimental set up manufactured by Feedback Instruments (Model No 33-041S). Experimental results reveal that FOISF controller provides better performances than that of ISF controller.

The paper proposes a new recursive approach for the analysis of singular system using Taylor series. Firstly, theoretical foundation of the recursive algorithm using both first and second orders Taylor series has been established in a lucid manner. Numerical examples have been treated along with relevant tables and curves in support of effectiveness of the method. Further, mean integral square error (MISE) has been estimated for both first and second order Taylor series approaches and found to be within tolerable limits. Thus, the method proves to be attractive and efficient as well.

One of the critical impediment faced in hierarchical control in an process industry is unavailability of exact mathematical co-relations, which can precisely define the process behavior. These are primarily due to variable, complex and un-measurable factors and noises influencing the process behavior. However, such cases are most appropriate application areas of Expert Systems. In process industry, Expert Systems are one of the successful application areas of Artificial Intelligence, where expertise and knowledge of a Process Expert or a group of Experts are embedded as computer inference software and database. In a real time situation, these systems can take intelligent decisions as would have been taken by process Expert on a similar situation. Determination of exact Set Process Temperatures or thermal regime on different parts of Rolling Mill Furnaces like Annealing Furnace in a Steel Industry is an intriguing problem. However, this decision is very crucial as final mechanical and metallurgical quality of steel stock significantly depends on fixing and accurate control of these temperatures. But as a irony, no well defined mathematical co-relations are available, which can predict exact thermal regime to be followed to achieve desired quality and properties of steel coils/sheets under heating inside such furnaces. The aforesaid intriguing issue has been successfully resolved by development and implementation of Expert System guided heating control system through prediction and control of optimum furnace temperatures inside Annealing Furnaces at Cold Rolling Mill of Bokaro Steel Plant and Decarburization-Annealing Furnace at Silicon Steel Mill of Rourkela Steel Plant. In both the cases, concepts of hierarchical automation has been used, wherein Expert System comprising Level-II tier of automation predicts most appropriate thermal regime to obtain desired product quality for a given set of steel sheet. A seamlessly dovetailed PLC constitutes Level-I automation layer. PLC monitors and controls the plant as per advice from Expert System. Both the systems have enhanced plants efficiency by improving production, quality and energy conservation.

In this paper, a guaranteed performance PID controller is proposed for the pitch control problem of an UAV. Using the loci for the stated performance criteria, the PID controller zeros are suitably selected as a pair of conjugate poles for the desired system in the specified zone of the s-plane. These poles are rendered non-dominant in order to avert the adverse effects of pole-zero cancellation. This method is proposed as an alternative to the guaranteed dominant pole placement method proposed by Wang et al., in which dominant poles are selected using the critical damping ratio and natural frequency. Simulation results and comparative assessment of the system performances using the designed controller, the guaranteed dominant pole placement controller and LQR validate the efficacy of the proposed controller.

The solution of control for inverted pendulum is a challenging problem and many control techniques have been tested on this bench mark problem to test the efficacy of the designed control law. In this note an attempt has been made to stabilize a linear dynamics of inverted pendulum by designing an optimal PID controller that guarantees the given time-domain performance specifications. To accomplish the task a hybrid pole-placement and firefly optimization control algorithm has been evolved. To apply the control algorithm, initially the upper bound of the controller gain is computed using Routh-Hurwitz criteria and later the lower bound of the controller gain is found out using pole-placement technique. Once the ranges of controller gains are obtained, the optimized value of the gains are found using firefly optimization technique.

We propose a methodology to measure object's dimension using smart-phone's sensor. This technique is quite useful for various applications like proper package size estimation in packaging industry, interior object dimension for decoration industry etc. In particular this method is very useful whenever a measuring tape or scale is not available. We use accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer available in smart-phones to record real-time data which help to understand mobile's movement. These data will be used to measure displacement of the mobile in X, Y and Z directions using Newton's law of motion. But as the data available from these phones are not noise free, so a robust noise removal algorithm is employed. Experimental results show that our method of measuring dimension is quite accurate for different size and shape of objects.

An attempt has been made in this article for effective solution of load frequency control (LFC) problem in an interconnected power system using a meta-heuristic optimization technique, called oppositional krill herd algorithm (OKHA). Krill herd algorithm (KHA) is simply mimics the life cycle of krill in an oceans and designed based on the solution of herding behavior of individual krill. A two-area multi-unit all hydro power plants equipped with a classical integral controller is considered for design and analysis. The interconnected hydro-hydro power plant is inherently an unstable system due the non-minimum phase characteristic of hydro turbine. Thus to retrieve the stability, different frequency stabilizers like superconducting magnetic energy storage, thyristor controlled phase shifter, and static synchronous series compensator in coordination with LFC are intended using OKHA paying integral square error based fitness function. Time domain simulation results obtained with OKHA are compared with original KHA and some recently published optimization schemes for the similar test system. Additionally, the robustness of the designed controller is validated by investigating the dynamic responses of test system with random load perturbation. Simulation results confirmed that OKHA outperforms other optimization techniques in terms of solution quality and computational efficiency.
