Smart pressure transmitters (SPT) are increasingly being used in the nuclear industry over conventional pressure transmitters. Smart pressure transmitter offers the potential to improve safety and reliability for NPP by use of their advance featuressuch as self-diagnosis, remote configuration for field communication, etc. This has simultaneously increased the complexity of the smart transmitter and added additional challenges in reliability area. Therefore, it is important to assess the reliability of SPTs before their use in safety critical systems. This paper represents the findings from accelerated life testing and performance evaluation study carried out on smart pressure transmitters. An experimental investigation of 9 SPTs has been carried out by subjecting to accelerated thermal ageing under different temperature conditions [60°C, 70°C and 80°C] for approximately 4 months. Thestudy focused mainly on deriving the performance parameters from calibration, power supply and load variation effect, insulation resistance tests. The important parameters measured are the accuracy, repeatability, hysteresis etc. It was observed from the study that the performance of SPTs degrades due to ageing of its internal components such as sensors, electronic circuits, insulation degradation, etc. Based on the performance data obtained from the testing, the degradation models have also been developed for remaining useful life estimation of SPTs.","PeriodicalId":439047,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Reliability, Infocom Technologies and Optimization (Trends and Future Directions) (ICRITO)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126029442","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 inverse method has to deal with two major situations. One is the noise which can be included in the measurement data and the other is the lack of information about the unknowns. When finding solutions to the inverse problem analytically, we have information about the exact values of the unknowns, but in practical applications this information is available only with certain limitations. This paper presents a scanning method of testing for convergence to detect an internal object using microwave measurements. Data acquisition is based on the system of a microwave scattering technique considering both forward and backscattered wave-fronts. A computational scanner is used to find solutions to both forward and inverse problems. Modelling of this application system has been aimed towards the in-vivo detection of a breast tumour, in particular, but this can be used for detecting an unknown object inside a host material in general. The internal object inside the model has been considered to be a sphere and the subsequent scattering problem has been solved using a three-dimensional coordinate system. The nonlinear inverse scattering problem is solved to find few unknowns so that the location and the size of the internal object like a breast tumour can be found using few microwave measurements.","PeriodicalId":439047,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Reliability, Infocom Technologies and Optimization (Trends and Future Directions) (ICRITO)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126092753","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}

To this effect, several studies have found it imperative to classify traffic flow, and to use traffic classification in various applications such as intrusion detection, monitoring systems, as well as pattern detection in various networks. Research into machine learning techniques of clustering emerged due to the inefficiencies and drawbacks of the traditional port-based and payload-based schemes. The classic K-means technique of clustering, in combination with other methods and parameters, can be used to build newer unsupervised and semi-supervised approaches to meliorate the quality of service in networks. In this paper, we review twelve of the existing clustering techniques. The review covers their contribution to clustering methods, the existing challenges, as well as recommendations for further research in clustering traffic flows.","PeriodicalId":439047,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Reliability, Infocom Technologies and Optimization (Trends and Future Directions) (ICRITO)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116973421","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}

MAP decoders form the component decoders of iterative turbo decoding process. A simplified version of the MAP algorithm is the Max-log-MAP algorithm that has a lower computational complexity, without much degradation in the performance. This paper deals with the implementation of a low power and area efficient Max-log-MAP decoder and studies the effect of a proposed Trojan model on the decoder. It is seen that there is a steady performance degradation at low signal to noise ratio (SNR) regions and a rapid degradation at high SNR region.","PeriodicalId":439047,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Reliability, Infocom Technologies and Optimization (Trends and Future Directions) (ICRITO)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131999888","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 this paper we have used Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) in routing and clustering for enhancing the working lifetime of WSNs. As the cluster head (CH) in the networks having more energy expenditure so we have also used some higher energy nodes to perform CHs operations for the enhancement of the lifetime.

Fundamentally, exoskeletons are used in carrying heavy weapons, material handling and disaster management. The problems faced by todays active exoskeletons are power consumption due to actuators used to make it active. Also, it has restricted number motions and degrees of freedoms due to rigid actuators. In Robot Study Circle, COEP, we have built a Compressed Air Powered Human Exoskeleton Suit (CAPHES) using which we can lift a weapon or a object weighing upto 35kgs without even feeling it. For that we have developed active upper body exoskeleton (AUBE) and passive lower body exoskeleton(PLBE). AUBE consists of Pneumatic Air Muscle (PAM) Actuators which we have developed in our lab. Due to these soft actuators, the exoskeleton has more number of degrees of freedom than exoskeletons with rigid actuators. PLBE helps in transferring the weight to be carried and the weight of the exoskeleton directly to the ground. Using PLBE exoskeleton can be also used as a chair-less chair.","PeriodicalId":439047,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Reliability, Infocom Technologies and Optimization (Trends and Future Directions) (ICRITO)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114194797","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}
