The analytical structure and properties of the fuzzy PI/PD controller are investigated. The rule base contains three rules which reduce the tuning parameters of the controller. The input variables are fuzzified by at least three triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy sets. The fuzzy PI/PD controller uses algebraic product triangular norm, bounded sum triangular co-norm, and center of gravity (CoG) defuzzification method. The fuzzy PI/PD controller with modified TS rule base is analogous to a variable gain (nonlinear) PI/PD controller. In different regions of the input plane, the gain either varies or remains constant. The gain variations of the controller and the stability analysis of closed loop control system have been investigated.","PeriodicalId":403350,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Students’ Technology Symposium (TechSym)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131872848","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}

Employing Non-invasive procedures for measurement of fECG not only ensures minimal patient discomfort, but also makes the product suitable for wearable applications. However, non-invasive fECG extraction has proven to be difficult due to low amplitudes of fECG signals, attenuation by maternal biological tissues, overlapping spectra with other fetal and maternal bio-signals and low-frequency noise in measurement devices. This paper describes the design of a noise optimized Analog-Front-End (AFE) for a non-invasive fECG monitor. The design criterion laid down for the fECG monitor require it to be an ambulatory, low-power, inexpensive device, interfaced to a smart-phone and capable of running computationally intensive signal processing algorithms. The primary role of the AFE is to filter-out large DC offsets, movement artifacts, high-frequency noise and subsequently amplify and condition the extracted signals before digitization. This noise optimized design makes use of active-electrodes fabricated on small printed circuit boards (PCB). Each PCB is mounted on standard Ag-AgCl electrodes to buffer, filter and amplify abdominal bio-signals as soon as they are detected. The extracted signals are then sent to the fECG monitor PCB for further processing and signal conditioning, before being digitized by a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of an ARM Cortex M3 based system-on-chip (SoC). The monitor is designed to work with supply voltages from 3.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc, allowing it to be powered from a variety of sources; battery packs to USB connectors. Working of the AFE was tested using synthetic signals and elementary biological signals.","PeriodicalId":403350,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Students’ Technology Symposium (TechSym)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114379699","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}

The controllers used for power quality improvement are instantaneous reactive power theory (IRP), modified instantaneous reactive power theory (MIRP) and IcosΦ algorithm. To verify the robustness of different controllers to load change, load unbalancing and non-ideal supply voltage conditions, the PV-DSTATCOM is simulated with nonlinear load, linear load, unbalanced load and thyristor load under ideal and as well as distorted supply voltage conditions.

The trade-off characteristic curves of the cell level circuits are used to determine the design feasibility and to propagate the specification of the bigger module to that of its constituent leaf cells. The methodology is validated in a 0.18 μm CMOS process by designing a highperformance gain boosted folded cascode Op-Amp (GBOPAMP) for the first stage of a 10-bit 50 Ms/s pipeline ADC. The designed GBOPAMP achieves a DC gain of 75 dB, a unity-gain frequency (UGF) of 520 MHz with 65° phase margin and a 0.09 % settling time of 6.5 ns.

The involuntary movements of subjects frequently infuse motion artifacts to SD-OCT images. Sub-sampling of signals is introduced in imaging protocol to avoid such artifacts which causes fall in spatial resolution and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR). Sparse coding (SC) is opted for restoration and rectification of complete signals from sparse samples through constructing complete and sparse space dictionaries independently. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) can be casted as SC for jointly learning dictionaries resulting less number of CNN filters (equivalence of SC dictionaries) to be trained. The proposed approach extends the separable filters to CNN through architectural constrain. This results in a parallel architecture and reduced number of parameters without compromising on performance. The approach scaled down trainable parameters by 46% with a trade-off of 0.108 PSNR during training and 0.107 PSNR during testing in comparison to conventional CNN.","PeriodicalId":403350,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Students’ Technology Symposium (TechSym)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134537598","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}

Epochs represent the accurate glottal closure instants in voiced speech which in turn give the accurate instants of maximum excitation of the vocal tract. Even though, there are many existing methods for epoch extraction, which provide near perfect epoch estimation from clean or neutral speech, these methods show significant drop in the epoch extraction performance for expressive speech signals. The occurrence of uncontrolled and rapid pitch variations in expressive speech signals cause degradation in the epoch extraction performance. The objective of the present work is to improve the epoch extraction performance of the speech signals with various perceptually distinct expressions compared to neutral speech using zero frequency filtering (ZFF) approach. In order to capture the rapid and uncontrolled variations in expressive speech utterances, trend removal is performed on short segments (25 ms) of the output obtained from the cascade of three zero frequency resonators (ZFR). The epoch estimation performance of the proposed method is compared with the conventional ZFF method, existing refined ZFF method proposed for expressive speech and recently proposed zero band filtering (ZBF) approach. The effectiveness of the approach is confirmed by the improved epoch identification rate and reduced miss and false alarm rates compared with that of the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":403350,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Students’ Technology Symposium (TechSym)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133318039","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}

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is one such technology that is improving the quality of health care. WBAN has personal patient data. Attackers can access this data from Wireless Sensor Nodes (WSNs) or from the wireless channel between nodes and server; this requires efficient security protocol for providing data security. In case of emergency, the vital parameters should be easily accessed by the doctor's or the paramedic. Stringent authentication and security criteria's makes it difficult to access the data during emergency, which may prove to be disastrous for the patient. This paper proposes a new approach for data security in wireless channel specifically during emergency conditions. WBAN uses Advanced Encryption Standard-128 (AES-128) cipher which requires substantial time for encryption which may be fatal in case of emergencies. Security mechanism for sensor nodes should be lightweight due to the area and resource constraints. The proposed method uses chaos based scrambling in case of emergency, which is lightweight with respect to AES and also requires very less processing time which is desired in emergencies.","PeriodicalId":403350,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Students’ Technology Symposium (TechSym)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129148417","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}

The transformation includes interpolation which estimates the intensity values of floating image other than the grid points. For nonrigid registration, generally the transformation is modeled using B-spline basis function. As the acquired images are deformed and contains bias field, it is very time consuming to reform the grid at each level. Considering the registration process as an optimization problem, the grid points are adaptively chosen and updated iteratively with a new transformation in each step. In this paper, an adaptive knot placement algorithm is presented for P-spline interpolation method to achieve accurate alignment of local deformation with less computation time. The proposed algorithm is validated with 3 sets of simulated brain images with a known distortion and 2 real brain MR image data sets. Different performance measures such as MSE, RMS, NAE are used to evaluate the qualitative measure of the proposed scheme. Estimated transformation grid and evaluated performance measures show the improvement in the proposed algorithm as compared to the other existing state-of-arts.","PeriodicalId":403350,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Students’ Technology Symposium (TechSym)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127841510","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 work investigates the hidden attractor dynamics for varying fractional orders and determines the minimum commensurate dimension to display chaos.
