Back-Propagation Neural Network Based Speaker Identification Under Noise Distortion
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the proposed speaker identification system where Wiener filtering technique has been used to eliminate the background white Gaussian noises and linear discriminant analysis has been used to reduce the dimension of the speech features. Since the audio signal captures more environmental noises than other biometrics modalities, the main emphasis of this paper is to analyze the problem domains of …

Feature Fusion Based Iris and Retina Recognition System Using Kohonon Self-Organizing Mapping Neural Network Algorithm
Abstract: This paper proposes a model of biometric security with feature fusion based iris and retina recognition system. Though, a lot of research works have done for iris recognition system and it is not new for the fusion of multimodal iris recognition in the area of biometric security and authentication system. But, it is a relatively new idea of mixing iris and retina features for human authentication. Here, the features of …

Mitigation of Inrush Current in Induction Motors using Prefluxing Technique
Abstract: Induction motor is one of the major inductive loads of power system. Its operating has the serious impact on the health of power system. Damage in induction motors can create a serious problem in transmission or distribution system. Three phase induction motor produces severe starting current which is called Inrush current. This causes shock to the driven equipment and damage to the mechanical system components. In this paper, prefluxing technique …

Prediction of Transformer Oil Parameters Using UV/VIS Spectroscopy Graphs
Abstract: AbstractUltraviolet–visible rays (UV/VIS) spectroscopy is a method based on a spectrum, which forms a graph between radiations absorbed by the material and the wavelength of the radiations. UV/VIS spectroscopy is able to tell the impurities or decay contents present in any sample material. In this paper, we have used data collected from various tests performed on the transformer oil samples and compared these results with the UV/VIS spectroscopy results. This …

Reduced Partial Product Booth Multiplier with An Effective Error Compensation Circuit
Abstract: Reduced partial product Booth multiplier is mainly used in multimedia and digital signal processing (DSP) systems. In this paper, design of reduced partial product (constant-width) Booth multiplier is introduced. Here the least significant bit (LSB) of partial product matrix of Booth multiplier is removed and an error compensation function is derived for reducing truncation error. A simple error compensation circuit (SC generator) is also introduced to reduce the computations that …

Simulation of Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Sag Mitigation
Abstract: In recent years, power quality is the major issue in transmission and distribution network. This paper concentrates on one of the power quality problem, such as voltage sag. A novel mitigation system is simulated using Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). The proposed system is boosting the sagged phase voltage by deriving the voltages from other healthy phases. The system is designed with two ac chopper circuits and two transformers. The voltage …
