The microstrip patch antenna consists of a pair of electrically conducting layers separated by a 1.5 mm dielectric material. The RT Duroid 5880 is used as dielectric substrate and it has dielectric permittivity of 2.2. Low dielectric constant substrates are essential for getting maximum electromagnetic radiation in the desired direction. Previous researches on this domain expressed the difficulty to achieve the high gain (>2dB), broad impedance bandwidth and better radiation efficiency. The proposed antenna yielded a gain greater than 7.7dB in 2.386-2.414 GHz band. The simulation has been performed by using HFSS, which is a finite element method(FEM) based electromagnetic solver.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"95 1","pages":"1101-1104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85608312","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}

Our services are aimed at providing healthcare services in remote areas where rigid healthcare systems are unavailable through implementation of cost effective mechanisms. With the advent of wearable sensors, improved mobile communication technologies and powerful on-board processing capabilities in smart devices, the data collected from the patient and the surrounding environment can be utilized to monitor the patient for various anomalies ranging from a simple rise in body temperature to complex situations including organ failure. The data from sensors are processed on the device itself or sent to a remote server for computations depending on the amount of data handled and the level of emergency associated with the same. The patients are registered on the cloud with organized storage of medical history, vital parameters along with possible emergencies and symptoms. We have emphasized on the introduction of various value-added services in which the immediate family of the patient can receive real time updates, push notifications for medicinal intakes, feedback from patients as well as real time advice in times of emergency. These services are designed to reduce reaction time for an emergency allowing possible prediction of occurrence at a lower level of emergency for patients.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"979-984"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77050358","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}

So more robust methods are required to ensure secure data transmission. One solution to the above problem is Steganography. Audio steganography is concerned with hiding information in a cover (host) audio signal in an imperceptible way. Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique is the most simple and efficient technique used for audio steganography. But conventional LS B technique is easy to defeat. In this paper Dual Randomness LS B method is proposed which hides the secret message in randomly selected samples and in randomly selected bit. This method provides more confidentiality compared to conventional LSB method.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"86 1","pages":"941-944"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78584127","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}

Sensors are deployed in hostile in random fashion giving self-organized topology. Medium Access Control (MAC) plays a vital role in the power saving mechanism of WSNs. MAC schemes for WSNs are different from traditional wireless MAC scheme such as IEEE802.11. This paper provides comprehensive performance analysis of the existing synchronous and asynchronous MAC layer protocols. The widely used synchronous and asynchronous mechanisms in WSNs are SMAC and Receiver Initiated MAC (RI-MAC). The paper presents a comparison of the performance of SMAC and RI-MAC on flat grid topology with a single sensor node as the sink. Here multi-hop transmissions are considered and various performance metric factors such as throughput, energy and latency are evaluated.

Optimization of road traffic flow would bring considerable and multi aspect gain in day today life. To manage the traffic, we need to know the density of traffic in each area. The identification of traffic zones can be done by the vehicle itself and communicate to the internet in order to reduce the cost of traffic management system. In this light, this paper presents a traffic zone identification system that can be applied for dynamic real time traffic management. The conventional methodology is to make intelligent road infrastructure which incurs capital and operational expenses for the state. If we make the vehicle intelligent and provide minimal signalling patterns in the road traffic systems, it can result in better quality intelligent traffic management system. Here the cost of the intelligent infrastructure gets distributed in the population of vehicle owners. This is an attempt to explore this potential direction. An electronic vehicular sensor network is used in this work which employs decision fusion algorithms to make intelligent decisions for zone identification. Here we demonstrated a combination of Bayesian statistical approaches and decision fusion algorithms in the current frame work. This novel strategy can be utilized to build smarter and futuristic intelligent traffic management systems.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"109 1","pages":"377-381"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84141097","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 purpose of this study is to compute relevant EEG features and apply a feature selection algorithm to select an optimum set of features for use in a classification scheme for epileptic seizure detection. Thus S VM will thereby yield a better accuracy compared to other algorithms. Effective features such as energy, relative amplitude, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, fluctuation index etc are selected and then these features are fed into the support vector machine for training and classification.
