The spiraling business transaction at vending machines and automated systems working on token have spurred better coin recognition techniques saddled with increased robustness.These techniques facilitate transaction making it easier in all forms of trade. Keeping all the essential factors in mind a system has been created which recognizes coin based on image subtraction technique. The process performs 3 checks(radius, coarse and fine)on the input image. The stated subsequent checks enable the technique to endorse Rotation Invariance, thus obviating the need of placing the coin at a certain angle. Also, the technique does away with the requirement of placing the front face of the coin up. Subtraction between the input object image and database image is performed. Further, plotting the resultant values gives minima which if less than a standard threshold establishes the recognition of the coin. Results of MATLAB based simulations have been reported.","PeriodicalId":290448,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Devices and Communications (ICDeCom)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126528515","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 first method, network maintains a small number of nodes to form a connected backbone and the remaining nodes sleep to conserve energy. This method is effective for low traffic networks.

Similarly, the second method is not effective in low traffic networks. So, in this paper we propose a Demand Based Energy efficient Topology (DBET) to reduce the energy consumption for mobile ad hoc network, by dynamically adjusting the topology for various network traffic conditions. We have simulated our proposed protocol DBET by using AODV [8] as routing protocol in network simulator ns2.33 [1] and compared with AODV and SPAN [3].

Except source and sink node the remaining nodes may participate in forwarding the packets towards the communication direction. The rate based adjustment technique is applied to avoid packet dropping in order to save the network resources. We are proposing this scheme to avoid the buffer overflow and it is not taking too much energy consumption in the communication.

In this paper, we are exploring the effect of low bit rate speech coding on the accuracy of detection of epochs. Epoch is referred as the instant of significant excitation of the vocal-tract system during production of speech. Many speech applications depend on the the accurate estimation of the epoch locations. Epoch extraction from speech signal is challenging due to time-varying characteristics of the excitation source and vocal-tract system. For determining the epochs, two recently developed accurate methods (i) zero frequency filter (ZFF) (ii) Dynamic programming projected phase slope (DYPSA) are used. Most of the epoch extraction methods except ZFF method, attempt to remove the characteristics of the vocal-tract system, in order to emphasize the excitation characteristics in the residual. ZFF method extracts the epoch locations directly from the speech signals using impulse like nature of excitation. Speech coders used in this study are GSM full rate (ETSI 06.10), CELP (FS-1016), and MELP (TI 2.4 kbps). Performance of epoch extraction methods is evaluated using CMU-Arctic data using the epoch locations from electro-glottograph as reference.","PeriodicalId":290448,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Devices and Communications (ICDeCom)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129239593","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}

ZigBee, a communication standard for LR-WPAN (Low Rate -Personal Area Networks), has low power consumption, complexity and cost. ZigBee uses the IEEE 802.15.4 standard as its communication protocol for Medium Access Control (MAC) layer and physical (PHY) layer. The IEEE 802.15.4 MAC standard achieves duty cycle operation by setting two system parameters, macBeaconOrder (BO) and macSuperframeOrder (SO), to achieve low power consumption for different value of duty cycle. In this Paper we have analyzed cross layer (MAC/PHY) approach for wireless sensor network scenario with different routing protocols: AODV, DYMO and XMESH under different percentage of duty cycle (DC). We have analyzed that what routing protocols with what percentage of Duty Cycle provide improvement over other routing protocols in WSNs. We have found value of attributes like energy consumption in transmit mode, energy consumption in received mode, energy consumption in idle mode, percentage of time in transmit mode (nodes comparison), percentage of time in received mode (nodes comparison) and total power consumption.","PeriodicalId":290448,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Devices and Communications (ICDeCom)","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122336566","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}

A hybrid and adaptive Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT) Algorithms is proposed to track the peak power delivered by a solar panel under partial shading and fast changing environmental conditions to maximize the solar energy harvested from the Photovoltaic modules. The simulation results of MATLAB and PSpice have been compared with earlier methods. Improvements in the starting characteristic performance, tracking effect and the other undesired effects of the shadows like the avoidance of multiple maxima have been obtained.

The proposed implementation is suitable for applications requiring long adaptive equalizers, as is the case in several high-speed wireless communication systems. The proposed algorithm yields good bit error rate performance over a reasonable signal to noise ratio. In this scheme the incoming data is partitioned into non overlapping blocks and the filtering operation has been performed in frequency domain with FFT (overlap and save method). In each iteration, only a part of the filter coefficients are updated so that it reduces the computational complexity and improves speed of operation. The signed versions of LMS algorithm makes equalization techniques multiplication free and facilitates efficient digital implementation using shift registers. The frequency domain representation facilitates, easier to choose step size with which the proposed algorithm convergent in the mean squared sense, whereas in the time domain it requires the information on the largest eigen value of the correlation matrix of the input sequence. Simulation studies shows that the proposed realization gives better performance compared to existing realizations in terms of convergence rate.","PeriodicalId":290448,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Devices and Communications (ICDeCom)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127649702","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}
