Landslides are one of the very serious geologic hazard happens in almost every country around the World. Globally, landslides cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries each year and also Financial Losses. Landslides are mostly unpredictable and occur within a short period of time. To save human life and avoid losses, efficient Technology has to be developed and implemented in high geologically hazardous Areas with low cost. Wireless Sensor Networks Plays a major role in Environment monitoring system. This paper is concerned with the development and implementation of Low cost Autonomous Wireless Sensor Networks based Landslide detection integrated with self-energy harvesting Powered early warning systems (WSN-SEH). WSN-SEH consists of MEMS sensors, Energy harvesting systems, Low power embedded controllers, efficient power Management systems and Super capacitors as storage device.

The automatic flight control system of an aircraft is very complicated in nature with lot of logics and operational constraints. The study of the detailed automatic flight control and thrust control involves complicated logics for the control functions with closed loop control systems which can be realized in the software. The work is focussed on the redesign of automatic flight control system using robust control methods in MATLAB/Simulink environment. This paper aims at a complete study, analysis, design and performance monitoring of new generation autopilot system using Linear Quadratic Regulator and Sliding Mode Control methods for the control of roll angle of aircraft. Comparison of the results of simulation of the above gives an optimal performance of the autopilot system.

Vehicle monitoring or management system is used to identify vehicles approaching `manned' & `unmanned' Check-Posts at entry/exit with real-time monitoring at the central control room. This paper proposes an entry monitoring system which is mainly focused for university campus. The projected system contains a video camera which is placed in front of the check post and is controlled by a sensor. The video camera which is used can capture slow motion video whenever the check post is raised. The video obtained from the camera is processed and the vehicles are recognized from their number plates. Image processing technique is used to recognize the number from the license plate. The vehicles are identified from the database whether the vehicles belongs to university or unknown. The complete data including vehicle information, timestamp and Check Post details are transmitted in real-time to the central control room that allows authorities to monitor the vehicles. At the central receiver full vehicle entry records are stored and if any unknown vehicle entry is detected it is easily monitored by the central controller.

Moisture content [MC] in food items should be tracked at right time with high precision as it is important for processing and storage of food items. Moisture content in some of the food grains has to be reduced to avoid its damage. In this paper we go through different techniques used to measure MC in different food grains. There are destructive and non-destructive methods to measure MC. In destructive method peanuts or samples have to be cleaned and shells are removed, so that this method is time consuming and samples are wasted. In this paper we study different non-destructive technique, to measure moisture content in which grains or food items can be directly used without any process like cleaning or crushing. Time taken to measure moisture content using this method is less.

`Grid' is an electrical network that performs functions like electricity generation, transmission, dispatch and control. The operation of present grid is less efficient due to some of its limitations such as electromechanical nature, one-way communication, centralized generation, few number of sensors and actuators, manual monitoring and restoration, limited control etc. With introduction of `Smart Grid' phenomenon, the improvement in ITC infrastructure, management and control strategies are becoming advanced. This paper highlights the application of one of the Smart infrastructure components called as Smart Meter to prove the feasibility of smart management system by employing accurate load prediction in smart grid.

The eye is the most beautiful and the most important sensory organ of the human body. It plays a vital role in our day to day lives. Eye sight is one of our most essential senses as 80% of what we perceive comes through our sense of sight. Moreover, the eyes make an essential contribution to the facial expression and serve for getting into contact with other people; therefore they are an indispensible means of communication. Protection of eyes reduces the odds of loss of sight for the rest of your life. Early detection and diagnosis is a way to achieve a reduction in the percentage of visual impairment. Generally scan reports will be viewed by doctors. So there is a chance for losing the identification of disease or miss prediction of disease due to inconvenience and also some amount of time required for starting the treatment. As a solution to this problem, the proposed system going to be an application that analysis the medical image and reveals the unclear factors which is difficult to view by naked eyes. This system analysis the images by localization followed by segmentation using digital image processing and compare the analyzed images with the sample images using pattern matching and pattern recognition, where the sample images are stored in the database. After knowing the disease stage we have to suggest the treatment for the suffered patient. By using this we can early detect the disease and save the patient's eye.

This paper proposes the design and control of single phase Power Electronic Transformer (PET). This PET has two stages; the input stage consists of a matrix converter and the output stage has another matrix converter which are connected by a high frequency transformer. It has bidirectional power flow controllability. It can convert high/low voltage into low/high voltage at any frequency. Power factor correction can also be achieved in this transformer. The proposed system uses only two stages, so that the number of switches used is considerably decreased. The converter is simulated using Multisim 13.0 package. Average current controller is used to improve the input power factor and to reduce the source current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) below 5%. Closed loop control is simulated with the help of LabVIEW 14.0 and found that the Total Harmonic Distortion is well below the acceptable limits. The power factor near to unity is also achieved.

Vehicle classification has crop up as an important field of study due of its importance in variety of applications like surveillance, security framework, traffic congestion prevention and accidents avoidance. The image sequences for traffic scenes are recorded by a stationary NI smart camera. The video clip is processed in LabVIEW to detect vehicle and measure characteristics like width, length, area, perimeter using image process feature extraction techniques. Data mining is the use of automated data analysis techniques to uncover previously undetected relationships among data items. Two of the major data mining techniques are classification and clustering. To classify a vehicle as big or small needs to classify vehicles into classes. Among many, two techniques in WEKA are feed-forward neural network (NN) classification technique and k-means clustering techniques. To choose between the two techniques is a challenging task. We carry experiments using the extracted features of vehicles from traffic video with both techniques and found that classification model out-performed cluster model by a small degree.
