Owing to rapidly aging populations and rising road accidents, the daily use of wheelchairs, which has become necessary to aid mobility for the disabled, is growing globally. The patients with spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and those inflicted with seizures need a wheelchair. The authors expect that the information gathered within this research will enhance the understanding of modern-day wheelchair requirements. This article presents the global research campaign, starting with a debut to the wheelchair and the communities they serve. Technological inventions focus on probably the most researched regions, creating one of the most interesting future research and development. This article reviews the role of wheelchairs for different disabilities by examining its respective merits and demerits. It highlights the gap between the associated technological features and capabilities, including the navigation and motion control methods, pros and cons of indoor-outdoor navigation on different surfaces such as standard, sandy, muddy and hilly terrain when using a wheelchair. Concerns related to the improvement the living conditions of the disabled have been concluded.

Finding protein coding regions, i.e., exons in a gene is a complex problem due to its diverse nature. In this paper, a novel FIR filtering governed by Ramanujan's Sum is proposed for identification of protein coding regions in gene. The efficacy of the designed algorithms is tested on Caenorhabditis Elegans cosmid F56F11.4a, various benchmark datasets like GENSCAN, HMR195, ASP67, and, BG570, and compared to well-established algorithms based on Antinotch, Butterworth, and Comb filters. The numerical conversion of the biological sequence here is an integer sequence and Ramanujan's Sum always generates a periodic sequence of integer numbers. This results in reduced quantisation error and simple hardware implementation. The evaluation of the designed Ramanujan's Sum governed filtering is done at the exonic level, nucleotide level, and through ROC plots. The results obtained on gene F56F11.4 attain specificity of 82%, sensitivity 97%, and precision of 85% while the AUC value of ROC curve was calculated as 0.96 square units. These evaluation parameters reveal that the proposed method gives enhanced results while comparing it to other existing exon-finding techniques.
