The additional substrate has wide gap microstip edge coupled lines. These structures provide additional overlapped coupling and cross coupling between two layers, except for the coupling effect on the same layer. The designed filter demonstrates the frequency characteristics with central frequency f0 of 2.28 GHz, insertion loss of 0.2 dB and 35 % FBW.","PeriodicalId":6507,"journal":{"name":"2018 Emerging Trends in Electronic Devices and Computational Techniques (EDCT)","volume":"111 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77877417","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 aim of this project is to develop such a device that can automatically detect and stop gas leakages in those permeable areas. The system detects the leakage of the LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) using a gas sensor and uses the GSM to alert the person about the gas leakage via SMS. When the LPG concentration in the air exceeds a predetermined level, the gas sensor senses the gas leakage and the output of the sensor goes LOW. This is detected by the microcontroller and the LED and buzzer are turned ON simultaneously. The system then alerts the customer by sending an SMS to the specified mobile-phone.","PeriodicalId":6507,"journal":{"name":"2018 Emerging Trends in Electronic Devices and Computational Techniques (EDCT)","volume":"401 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88381952","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 general, a PMS consists of several network segments, starting from a WBAN to the user's access network via a server where the patients' data is stored. Apart from the communication links between the WBAN gateway and the server, and between the server and the user's device, the wireless link between the body sensors and the gateway remains susceptible to threat by eavesdropper or malicious users. Moreover, the sensor nodes are often battery powered and thus cannot be overloaded with highly computational algorithms and protocols. In this context, we develop and implement an end-to- end secure PMS by emphasizing on securing sensor to gateway wireless link with a lightweight encryption protocol that will consume minimal energy. In addition, we use MQ telemetry transport (MQTT) as a transport protocol rather than hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) for its simplicity and lightweight features. The encrypted sensor data thus transported and stored in the server from where an authentic user access the data and decrypt it.","PeriodicalId":6507,"journal":{"name":"2018 Emerging Trends in Electronic Devices and Computational Techniques (EDCT)","volume":"21 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85923384","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}

Characterizing condensation in experimental setups, therefore, requires a proper control strategy of operating parameters. Although industrial vapor chambers are available for carrying out condensation experiments under precisely controlled environments, these setups are prohibitively expensive. Here we have developed a low-cost, prototype vapor chamber that is equipped with advanced control systems. Environmental control aspects of a Styrofoam- made condensation chamber are developed in-house for testing condensation on wettability engineered surfaces. Peltier-heat sink arrangement is used to cool the condenser surface under study and the desired relative humidity is maintained within the chamber by means of spraying deionized water with a nebuliser. In order to automate the process, an Arduino Duemilanove board is amalgamated with the setup. Temperature is controlled by an ON/OFF trigger-driven mechanical relay connected to the Arduino environment, which in turn generates an opportunely amplified signal to control the supply voltage of the Peltier element. A K-type thermocouple is interfaced to the Arduino board with the help of MAX31855K thermocouple amplifier for measuring the plate temperature. For humidity and chamber-temperature monitoring, an SHT35D sensor is used. The relative humidity of the chamber is maintained by a mechanical relay-driven spray arrangement. The time-domain plots of humidity and plate temperature response indicates that the temperature fluctuations are within 0.25°C and RH fluctuations are within 0.5% about the set-point. Transient response of the temperature and RH data are monitored by the Serial Monitor of Arduino software, which indicates that the set values of temperature and RH are obtained approximately within 0 to 1000 seconds.","PeriodicalId":6507,"journal":{"name":"2018 Emerging Trends in Electronic Devices and Computational Techniques (EDCT)","volume":"24 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85356185","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}

Reading one of the angular axis movement data, to be particular the YAW axis data, from a triple axis magnetometer, mounted on a portable controller, compass readings can be read on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and hence the controller can be pointed towards a desired direction and angle and accordingly the mobile vehicle can be moved in the set direction. For the purpose of making the mobile vehicle move in the set direction the compass angle of the direction is sent to the mobile vehicle through an infrared light emitting diode (LED) using an infrared protocol, to be more precise the infrared NEC protocol was used. The vehicle then receives the information sent by the controller using an IR receiver then moves in the compass angle as set using the portable controller.","PeriodicalId":6507,"journal":{"name":"2018 Emerging Trends in Electronic Devices and Computational Techniques (EDCT)","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77588622","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 energy storage systems (HESS) consisting of battery and supercapacitor is suitable to overcome the difficulties in battery storage system which is normally used. Differential evolution (DE) is one of the powerful evolutionary optimization and has been successfully applied to solve various optimization problems. But one of major difficulties in DE is the selection of control parameters. A wrong parameter selection may lead to premature convergence and even stagnation. In the this work, a new improved algorithm using differential evolution and chaos theory is proposed for optimal sizing of hybrid energy storage system consisting of battery and super capacitor with an aim to avoid premature convergence. A hybrid system consisting of solar and wind is considered for the present work. A suitable objective function is developed which is optimized under several equality and inequality constraints.
