Realization of Supporting Device for Afflicted Human Locomotion Using PIC-Microcontroller
Abstract: Many types of walking aids ranging from very simple one to highly complex ones in operation are widely available presently. The most desirable operating characteristics of such a system will be the one, which exhibits a characteristic similar to that of the human locomotion. The paper explain in detail about the development of the supporting device for two-fold purpose, i.e., supporting device with only locking/unlocking mechanism and supporting device with …

A Hexagonal Sierpinski Gasket Antenna with a Microstrip Feed Line and a Stub for UWB Applications
Abstract: In this paper a Sierpinski gasket hexagonal antenna is proposed with a feed line having a stub attached to it. Three iterations of the proposed antenna geometry were done and with this improved feeding technique for four resonant bands of operation from 2.86 to 3.3 GHz, 3.758–4.313 GHz, 7.514–8.5468 GHz and 12.352–10.976 GHz were obtained. The antenna is suitable for ultra wideband (UWB) and radiolocation applications. The proposed antenna was …

A Novel High Gain Cavity Backed Micro Strip-Fed Circular Triangular Corner Fractal Antenna for UWB Applications
Abstract: In the current article, a novel micro strip-fed circular triangular corner fractal unidirectional antenna with high gain is proposed for ultra wideband (UWB) applications. This antenna consists of circular patch with triangular slot with three iterations. A prototype of antenna has been designed on FR4 substrate having dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 1.6 mm. This reference antenna is then placed in a cavity made up of FR4 having thickness same …

A Novel Technique for Improvement in Front-to-Back Ratio of MSA for WLAN/WiMAX using Corrugated Dielectric Substrate as a Reflector
Abstract: In this paper the design of a microstrip antenna (MSA) with corrugated dielectric reflector is proposed to improve the front-to-back ratio (FBR) and reduce the back lobes in radiation pattern of the antenna. The designed antenna operates at 5.8 GHz and simulated on CSTMWS’10 software. Simulation results show that proposed antenna has 21.8 dB higher FBR than that of conventional MSA.

Hardware Design using Flexible Hk-Means
Abstract: High performance hardware is required to meet the necessities of consumer electronics. Color quantization and image partition are an inevitable part for different applications, and HKMeans is the main algorithm that is used for color quantization and image partition owing to its low cost, less computational time and the hardware area required. The computational time and the hardware area increases as the quantization number increases. Hierarchical K-means or HK-Means is …

Design of Microsmart Grid Fuzzy Controlled Model for Sustainable Power Supply in Rural India
Abstract: India is facing acute shortage of electricity especially in rural sectors due to shrinking of conventional grid supply. The expansion of grid network has become almost standstill due to depletion of raw material (i.e., fuel, coal, etc.) day by day. As a result, the sustainability of utility (grid) power supply to rural houses has become poor. In this paper, a fuzzy control-based microsmart grid model has been proposed and developed …
