The aim of this paper is to develop a permanent magnet finger tracking technique for use in day to day computer interaction as well as in the field of medical diagnostics such as stroke rehabilitation. Although several finger tracking techniques are available today, they are either bulky and power intensive or provide low accuracy with regards to tracking ability. In areas such as stroke rehabilitation and virtual-reality interaction, the weight and size of wearable sensors is critical to performance. As such a light weight, compact, tracking system, is desired. This paper discus the design of such a system which includes modeling and experimental confirmation.

The national energy generation resources of Pakistan are becoming insufficient due to increased demand of electrical energy. The country is suffering from a continuous shortfall of thousands of megawatts especially in summer when the demand increases many folds. The additional support to the national grid by means of small hydro projects on canals can be much beneficial. A technique can be devised through which the kinetic energy of the canals can be effectively utilized for electrical power generation. To increase the effectiveness and practical formulation of this method the feasibility analysis of the site, where this system can be installed for successful production of electrical energy and other factors are analyzed. Further more for practical evidence the paper includes the statistical analysis of power generation capacity of a small part of Rakh branch canal situated near FESCO Headquarter Faisalabad Pakistan.

The Global software industry worth about $293 billion in 2011 is plagued by an ironic fact that a huge proportion of the software projects are below their schedules or are not completed due to bad planning, poor specification of software product specifications and technical inadequacies. The concept of software quality management is gaining increasingly more and more popularity as software firms now prefer the use of quality assurance practices to provide software products that are more reliable and efficient. This paper aims to augment earlier research conducted relating to software quality assurance practices and identifies any link between customer satisfaction and optimization of costs associated with the development and maintenance of software products. The gathered data from Clients and development teams is analyzed in SPSS tool to measures the impact of implementing Software Quality Standards on Customer Satisfaction through variations in Product Development Time and Product Safety.

Cognitive radio technology can enhance spectrum usability by allowing secondary users to opportunistically access unused or under-utilized frequency bands. Although a number of ideas have been proposed for improving the performance of cognitive radio networks, but slight attention has been given to the selection of reliable data channel(s) and energy efficiency at MAC layer. In this paper, a novel reliable and energy efficient MAC protocol for cognitive radio adhoc networks has been proposed which selects the best data channel(s) with respect to the channel ranking to reduce the additional overhead at the control packets. To validate the idea, we have conducted analysis, where results show that the proposed REECR-MAC consumes less communication time and energy and achieves higher throughput as compared with CREAM-MAC and DSA-MAC protocols.

Traditional power system analysis needs to bechanged because of the application of the distributed energyand the smart grid concept. The changes are real-timecalculations for the operation support and object-basedcalculations for responding to the power system control (somechanges). And we need to calculate a power system networkstatus with constraint problems of line currents, bus voltagesand generation powers (active and reactive). But traditionalpower system analysis is not prepared for these problems. Inthis paper, we suggest a structure of Optimal Power Flow(OPF) calculation structure based Object-OrientedProgramming (OOP) and it's application with secureconstraintproblem.

The neuron machine (NM) is a hardwarearchitecture that can be used to design efficient neural networksimulation systems. However, owing to its intrinsicunidirectional nature, NM architecture does not supportbackpropagation (BP) learning algorithms. This paperproposes novel schemes for NM architecture to support BPalgorithms. Reverse-mapping memories, synapse placementalgorithm, and a memory structure called triple rotatememory can be used to share synaptic weights in both the feedforwardand error BP stages without degrading thecomputational performance. An NM system supporting a BPtraining algorithm was implemented on a field-programmablegate array board and successfully trained a neural networkthat can classify MNIST handwritten digits. The implementedsystem showed a better performance over most chip-level orboard-level systems based on other hardware architectures.

In this paper, digital and analog performance of p-type Gate Inside Junctionless Transistor (GI-JLT) is demonstrated for the first time by using 3-D Bohm Quantum Potential (BQP) transport device simulation to evaluate its use in future CMOS technology. Digital performance analysis exhibits a favourable on/off current ratio and better short-channel characteristics than a gate-all-around (GAA-JLT) junctionless device. Ion improvement by a factor of 3, Ioff reduction by a factor of 10, DIBL is minimized by 34% with slight reduction in subthreshold slope. In analog performance, p-type GI-JLT shows improvement of transconductance (gm) by a multiple of 3, similarly Transconductance generation factor (TGF) (gm/Ids) gets improved and cutoff frequency (fT ) showed improvement by 60% as compared with GAA-JLT. Larger gate electrostatic control is responsible for analog and digital performance improvement of GI-JLT.

Due to the increased demand of SRAM with large use of SRAM in System On-Chip, the oxide thickness has become a tough challenge in CMOS technology. The leakage power also affects the chip design process. Speed of SRAM and Power consumption are also taken care of for designing a chip. This article represents the simulation of 6T SRAM; Asymmetric SRAM cells using low power reduction techniques. All the simulations have been carried out on 180nm at Tanner EDA tool. In this article, SRAM cell will includes one more extra transistor that will control the overall capacitances during the write and read operation and will optimize the total capacitance that results in decrease in the power dissipation. The circuit verification is done on the Tanner tool, Schematic of the SRAM cell is designed on the S Edit and net list simulation done by using T-spice and waveforms are analyzed through the W-edit.

The complexity of traditional data mining techniques prevents them from being used in VANETs. The introduction of data stream mining has opened a window for extending data mining to be used in VANETs. Data stream mining can be used to construct or extract patterns from messages broadcast frequently from vehicles traveling on a road. Vehicles exchange different types of messages either periodically or ad hoc for different types of applications. The data flowing in the network of vehicles can be used to extract valuable knowledge to support the different applications in VANETs. Knowledge gained from the data can be used to form groups of vehicles. Vehicles can be grouped together based on their direction of traveling, speed, the types of applications they run. Vehicles that have common features, interests, and needs facilitate the establishment of trust between them as these shared features make up the foundation for trust. In this paper we provide a discussion of establishing trusted group using trust rules. In addition, we propose a system to generate/process trust rules and to establish a set of trusted groups.
