The paper presents the ideology, procedures followed in order to implement, and the experimental results of an electronic device developed to extend the functionalities of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) employed in the automobiles equipped with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) technology. The EFI system is empowered with a computing unit, ECU. A key responsibility of a typical ECU is to manipulate the fuel delivery for efficient combustion to optimize the engine's performance while minimizing the fuel wastage and emissions. Further, it is expected to self-adjust to fulfill the above requirements relying on several input sensors including a feed-back sensor. But, due to various reasons the objective is not fully achieved, therefore need to be rectified time to time. The process is called EFI Tune-up. Sensor malfunction and decayed fuel injectors are the major reasons for the incapability of ECU to control the situation. The especially developed add-on module was designed to assist the ECU when it loses its tolerance because of decayed fuel injectors and once the feedback sensor is beyond its range of operation. The strategy followed was to modify the Injector Pulse Width, a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) control signal generated by the ECU to regulate the fuel release of fuel injectors, based on an analysis done regarding the emissions containing in exhaust gas. The experimentally obtained evaluation records conclude that the involvement of the introduced add-on module could reduce the fuel wastage and release of toxic emissions up to 70%, depending upon the condition of the fuel injector.

Indoor positioning is a popular and a novel researched area mainly in terms of its vast applications on providing location based services. The requirement for indoor positioning has mainly occurred due to the infeasibility of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in indoor environments which consisting of many obstacles and having non-line-of-sight. As there is no exact method applicable globally For indoor positioning, several techniques are employed considering the environments they are being used. Among these techniques, fingerprinting provides several propitious features for indoor environments having obstacles and contains severe multipath channels. Our focus of study is to identify the applicability of audible sound for location based fingerprinting which could be augmented in environments with non-line-of sight and multipath wave propagating conditions, with low cost and a simple implementable solution. The study was conducted to locate the position of a receiver, by an acoustic signal generated from a fixed source transmitter at a controlled environment. Initially, the environment is divided into several grid points in order to generate a database comprising the location data. A large number of realizations were obtained at each of the grid points in order to create a robust database. The location is estimated via comparison of the feature vector of signatures generated at the receiver, with the pre-generated database. More focus was given on selecting suitable parameters to be used as unique signatures of a given acoustic signal of very short duration and to explore model based and non-model based methods on determining the position with minimum error.

The main objective of this research was to identify the dynamic characteristics of tall buildings. In this research, existing 6-story Engineering faculty building and proposed 14-story new engineering faculty building of Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) were analyzed using finite element method to identify their dynamic characteristics. Natural frequency of the cantilever beam from theoretical analysis and from finite element analysis had a 0.23% difference, validating the use of finite element method. The natural frequencies of 6 and 14 story buildings were found to be 0.88 and 0.74 Hz, respectively for a 10×10 m mesh size. Critical mode shapes of the two buildings also have been identified through the Modal analysis.

Security of the information is the main problem in network communications nowadays. There is no algorithm which ensures the one hundred percent reliability of the transmissions. The current society uses the Internet, to exchange information such as from private images to financial data. The cryptographic systems are the mechanisms developed to protect and hide the information from intruders. However, advancing technology is also used by intruders to breach the security of the systems. Hence, every time cryptosystems developed based on complex Mathematics. Elliptic curve cryptography(ECC) is one of the technique in such kind of cryptosystems. Security of the elliptic curves lies in hardness of solving the discrete logarithms problems. In this research, a new cryptographic system is built by using the elliptic curve cryptography based on square matrices to achieve a secure communication between two parties. First, an invertible matrix is chosen arbitrarily in the the field used in the system. Then, by using the Cayley Hamilton theorem, private key matrices are generated for both parties. Next, public key vectors of the both parties are generated by using the private keys of them and arbitrary points of the given elliptic curve. Diffie Hellman protocol is used to authenticate the key exchange. ElGamal plus Menezes Qu Vanstone encryption protocols are used to encrypt the messages. MATLAB R2015a is used to implement and test the proper functioning of the built cryptosystem.

The use of a common yardstick to determine ‘work hours’ for different categories of workers cannot be accepted due to differences between types of work that demand mind and labour. In this connection, where labour only is considered, there are accepted ‘work hours’ recognized internationally. However, for tertiary and quaternary education there is no such acceptance although similarities exist. Available frameworks in existing literature still fails to reveal any such. Yet, there needs to be some measurement. Taking advantage of the proportionate task assessments made so far, this research attempts to establish proportions between and among tasks carried out by members of the academia. Purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive workload management system with weightage assignment which accounts all activities that academia are performing.

Waste management has become a major issue in all the part of the world and tends to grow day by day. Mismanagement in waste has become one of the key environmental and health issue. With the increase of population, especially in the urban areas waste collection, categorization, and disposal has become a major hazard for the government authorities. An IoT based waste collection framework is proposed to automate the solid waste identification, localization and collection process. The authors are involved in the identifying key impact factors in the waste collection process and provide systematic and automated solution to optimize the process to achieve higher efficiency. A layered architecture is introduced to handle the waste collection process and an optimization algorithm is derived for the existing business process based on the proposed evaluation criteria. The final outcome is a complete framework which compromises the Inputs, Outputs, Guide and Enables. The main objective is to implement an optimized automated waste collection system with the use of a vast sensor network capable of gathering waste data and by implementing an optimization algorithm in waste collection.

Geography is an enthralling subject and an additional qualification for day to day life of human beings. Because human beings are socialized and they are usually dealing with geographical related activities. As a person he needs to have a basic sense of where he lives and what is the surrounding environment of his living area. Therefore, to provide the basic geographical knowledge for these persons who are in any age category, standalone e-learning application is introduced as final year research. The E-GEO e-learning application which can be worked in totally offline environment consists of four main components in Map Marking and Validation, Cross Section Drawing Platform with Mountain Type Identifier, Virtual Tours and Speech Recognition and Generation with Geo Master. To accomplish with these features we have used different technologies and mechanisms respectively Geographical Information System (GIS) based Map Marking and Offline Validation, Image Processing, 3D Modeling and Natural Language Processing. The entire application based on e-learning concept called gamification to provide motivational environment for users and could work without internet connectivity. This e-learning application would be achieved high accuracy level at the end of the project duration.
