A number of hierarchical routing protocols have been proposed to minimize energy utilization in WSNs. This paper presents a new technique called Shortest Path Tree Scaling Hierarchical Power Efficient Routing (SPTSHPER) protocol. SPTSHPER operates in two-phases; namely, zone setup phase and data communication phase. Dijkstra's algorithm is used to find the Shortest Path Trees rooted at a base station to all other cluster heads. Sensor data is transmitted to base station using the Shortest Path Trees. Simulation results demonstrate that SPTSHPER reasonably prolongs the network lifetime, reduces the number of transmissions, and minimizes energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":215372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 9th International Conference on Emerging Technologies (ICET)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127259499","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}

It has become the source of internet connectivity with a much higher data rates and is being successfully used at airports, university corridors, hotel lounges, hospitals, business centers and so on. Presently the most popular standards for WLAN being used are 802.11-b, g and n, in which standard “n” provides much higher data rate. For higher data rate, much higher bandwidth is needed. In this paper we have investigated the suitability of simple microstrip antennas i.e.(Bow-tie antenna, Elliptical inset-fed antenna and Rectangular inset-fed antenna) for WLAN applications, in comparison of more complex antennas. The purpose for choosing three different types of simple antenna structures is to analyze the reduced complexity of design with better performance amongst three. We have found that we can obtain considerable results even with the use of simple antenna structures in terms of bandwidth as compared to results obtained in previous studies. Analysis has been performed to find the relative gain, and impedance bandwidth of the three antennas.","PeriodicalId":215372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 9th International Conference on Emerging Technologies (ICET)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117035996","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}

In the absence of inherited damping torque, these disturbances result in Low Frequency Oscillations, which can endanger the system security and stable operation. In order to increase the network stability, the exploitation of flexible AC transmission systems devices has become more and more significant. The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) can effectively damp power system oscillations with addition of supplementary controller. This research work proposes Takagi Sugeno Kang (TSK) fuzzy system based Adaptive NeuroFuzzy Controller (ANFC) for UPFC using conjugate gradient algorithm which makes the system computationally efficient with less memory requirement and fast convergence speed. The effectiveness of control scheme is studied using simulations of two machines test system with different test scenarios. Simulation results and performance comparison with PID controller confirms the effectiveness of proposed supplementary control scheme to enhance transient stability.","PeriodicalId":215372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 9th International Conference on Emerging Technologies (ICET)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124097705","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}

It proposes determining engine combustion performance through analysis of the exhaust plume turbulence and radiation extinction patterns. The employed methodology requires estimating the point spread function (PSF) prevailing in a LWTR image and using the PSF estimates for enhancing the engine exhaust plume LWIR images. Influence of exhaust plume composition on the plume flow characteristics, made evident by the turbulence and radiation extinction patterns, is then ascertained. The observed plume flow characteristics and underlying flow patterns are used to qualitatively determine the engine combustion performance. Results suggest that engine exhaust flow visualization can help in qualitative analysis of combustion performance from a distance and our reliance on photochemical-based analysis of gasoline engine combustion efficiency can be reduced. Thus a time consuming and untidy process, difficult to be carried out in real life situations, may be replaced with a swift and cleaner one.","PeriodicalId":215372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 9th International Conference on Emerging Technologies (ICET)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126452385","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}

It is an under-constraint problem hence a user interaction is required to identify the definite foreground, background and semi-transparent pixels. In general the information in the definite foreground and background regions is modeled locally to estimate the foreground and background color of the pixels in the semi-transparent region which are then used to estimate opacity values. A global non-parametric sampling based approach is presented which incorporates not only the color information in the foreground and background regions but also utilizes the local structure of an image to improve the quality of the estimate matte. This global sampling approach reduces the segmentation mis-classification that is incorporated in the resulting alpha matte by considering only the local color information. The results obtained are comparable to the state of the art image matting techniques on a standard dataset.","PeriodicalId":215372,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 9th International Conference on Emerging Technologies (ICET)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133440929","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}

Then, design a RFDF using a multiobjective optimization technique for delay-free linear time invarient system which is equivalent to the original time delay system. The design problem of RFDF is formulated as a standard H∞ model matching problem and is solved by using H∞, optimization LMI techniques. For the detection of the fault, an adaptive threshold which depends on the inputs is determined finally.
