In this paper, triangular shaped three resonators with same dielectric constant and different sizes are stacked to improve the gain, bandwidth and radiation performances of DRA. An increase in bandwidth is further achieved by using air gaps. This Stacked DRA is excited by a conformal patch connected to a microstrip line which is an effective feed mechanism to obtain wideband operation and is more efficient in energy coupling than other types of feeding techniques. This stacked triangular DRA is simulated using a CST microwave studio suite™ 2010. The simulated results show that the proposed DRA achieves an impedance bandwidth of about 41% for VSWR less than 2, covering a frequency range from 4.0 GHz to 6.02 GHz. Its maximum gain is 7.98 dBi. The proposed antenna is suitable for wireless local area networks (WLAN) applications in 5–6 GHz frequency range. This stacked DRA exceeds the bandwidth requirements for the IEEE 802.11a wireless local area network (WLAN) applications (in the frequency range 5.15–5.35 GHz and 5.725–5.825 GHz) within a 2:1 VSWR. Parametric studies of the antennas with CST microwave based design data and simulated results are presented here.","PeriodicalId":201931,"journal":{"name":"INTERACT-2010","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124034646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an optimization technique to attenuate the acoustic echoes generated due to coupling between the microphone and the loudspeaker. An optimal filter is designed based on a least squares technique. It uses Levinson algorithm to equalize the acoustic channel in an iterative manner by calculating the correlation coefficients needed for updating the iterations, in order to minimize the echo effect. The method calculates the optimal solution directly with less data recorded. The performance was validated and compared with adaptive filtering technique using a real time signal from a conference room.","PeriodicalId":201931,"journal":{"name":"INTERACT-2010","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124216363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ECU model simulates the failures to design a fault-tolerant system and controls the engine speed with the aid of an open loop control technique using EMS. ECU provides safety to the user by avoiding the collision by using IR Sensor and deployment of the air bags using MEMS accelerometer in the case of emergency using Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). ECU mainly concentrates on functionality of fuel metering.

In group, some of the sensor nodes may be malicious, which may disrupt the normal operation of a sensor network.

Researchers are exploring new ways of projection and interaction technologies to create ‘illusion’ that can reshape our perception and interaction methodologies. In this paper we implemented (Infrared) IR light source tracking system which can be used for tracking single and multiple IR light source positions and can be used effectively in optical tracking problems such as tracking head position which is all pervasive requirement in a Virtual Reality System. We present a method of mapping IR light source position and orientation to an image.
