A Novel Approach to Ceiling Fan-Based System for Preventing Suicide by Hanging
Abstract: Suicide by hanging has become a significant public health issue in India. According to reports from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), a considerable number of hanging cases are reported annually, with the majority being suicidal in nature. Homicidal cases disguised as hanging are extremely rare. Accurate differentiation between suicidal and homicidal hanging requires thorough examination of the crime scene in an undisturbed condition, followed by a detailed autopsy investigation. …

Application of Wavelet De-noising for Wind Speed Retrieval from a 2.5 MHz Partial Reflection Radar
Abstract: Atmospheric studies related to middle-atmospheric coupling, climate monitoring, steering profiles for expendable launch vehicles and re-entry missions require atmospheric wind profiles as an important input. Atmospheric wind profiling is conventionally carried out using rawinsondes and radiosondes flown in high altitude balloons, complemented by sounding rockets and ground-based radars. The partial reflection radar (PRR) can be effectively used for the same purpose to an altitude of about 100 km. But deriving …

Removal of Blotches and Impulse Noise in Gray Scale Images Using Non-linear Algorithm
Abstract: An image consists of artifact, which appears in an image that is actually not present in the original imaged object. An image artifact (noise) is sometimes the result of improper operation of the imager, and other times a consequence of natural processes or properties of the human body. Blotches (bulk noise) and impulses are the artifacts where blotch can be either bright or dark spots and impulse can be salt …

A Novel Approach for Morphological Attribute Profiles with Partial Reconstruction
Abstract: The classification of satellite images are difficult because of human eyes can see the colour of visible light mostly in three bands (RGB). The main shortcomings of existing system are leakage problem (when regions related to different structures in the image by connecting fake links leads to missing of certain objects), objects expected to disappear at a certain threshold remain present when objects were connected. And then if the small …

Power and Congestion Control Analysis for MANET in NS3
Abstract: AbstractRouting to MANET is difficult due to the navigation feature. The main causes of connection failure are mobility, interference, and congestion. Mobility means that each node is free to move within its transport area. The interference is due to a collision and a hidden node. A hidden node means two nodes outside the radio frequency range of each one while trying to transmit data to an intermediate node located in …

Improved Unified Power Quality Conditioner Design and Numerical Simulation For Power Quality Improvement
Abstract: Harmonic currents can distort the waveform voltage, resulting in a weak signal. There is also an increase in the number of loads requiring enough sinus tension to function properly. As electronic devices become more power-sensitive, people are becoming increasingly interested in power conditioning solutions. Therefore, if the amount of electricity being generated falls below a certain threshold, some type of compensation must be provided. Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) is …
