Abstract :  More than 50 million people across the globe use sign language to communicate with others, these signs vary from one place to another and they are difficult to interpret, thus it takes a very long time to understand what they are intending to say. Hence there is an immediate need to develop an accurate technology to address this problem. Hardware and software te chnologies available today have two majo r drawbacks firstly, bidirectional two way comm unication is not possible secondly, they can only teach ASL but th ey can - not communicate their corresponding meanings to remote areas. This paper is focused on providin g an applicative architecture of hand glove that recor d gestures made by a sp eech and hearing disabled pe rson , convert s them in to meaningful data and transmit s them to remote areas with help of Bluetooth, GSM - CDMA and Interne t modules . It has six flex sens ors , three contact sensors and one digital compass , AVR 2560 micro controller , trans - receiver modules and an inbuilt graphic user interface .

Abstract :  Cooperative approaches are applied to different meta-heuristics and especially tabu search, genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm. In this paper we propose a cooperative exploration of the solution space based on tabu search, threading and communication. The algorithm is applied to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the Integrated Problem of Location Assignment and Straddle carrier Scheduling in maritime terminal at import (IPLASS). The problems are known NP-Complete. To prove the efficiency of our approach we compare it to classic tabu search, and Late Acceptance Hill-Climbing algorithm (LAHC).

Abstract :  Relays in a distribution system are used to clear the fault in the least possible time and prevent it from travelling upstream. Excessive current caused due to these faults damages equipments and harm personnel. Overcurrent (OC) relays operate when the current in the system exceeds a threshold level. Hence proper coordination of OC relays is necessary to minimize discontinuity of supply for consumers. Different algorithms are used to optimize the time of operation of these OC relays. This paper compares two algorithms namely, Dual Simplex and Improved Harmony Search Algorithm (IHSA) on three radial networks to identify the time multiplier setting (TMS) of the relay. This eventually assists in fixing the time of operation of the relays.

Abstract :  The number of mobile devices equipped with shortrange wireless communication modules such as Bluetooth, infrared and near field communication (NFC) is increasing rapidly. People always carry the devices and use them for various purposes in their daily lives. For example, mobile users may exchange electronic business card or contact address through infrared or Bluetooth. To establish a connection between two devices, the users have to specify the communicating party by using some kinds of identifiers, e.g., device’s ID, name or MAC address. Since communicating parties are in a nearby area, it would be convenient if we can exploit such physical adjacency to establish the communication instead of using conventional addressing scheme or complicated setup. Thus this paper proposes EriCC, a gesture-based session establishment for multi-user data exchange. EriCC uses gesture to identify and verify a communicating party. In particular, the users do the same gesture in order to establish a connection without knowing the other party’s address. EriCC then transforms the acceleration signal of the gestures into the frequency domain by applying Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). If frequency components of the acceleration signal are below a threshold, data exchange is allowed. We implemented EriCC on Android smartphones and conducted experiments to study its performance and practicability. The experimental results show that EriCC is able to remove undesirable receivers from actual receivers with high recall and reasonably high precision.

Abstract :  Four-wheel vehicle requires a wider space so the driver must surround the parking area to get a parking spot. In this final project will be implemented smart parking system with car parking availability detection based digital image processing and Raspberry pi. Enter the data from usb camera in the form of a model and then made the conversion RGB image into grayscale color then performed thresholding to produce binary image output to be sent to the server via a LAN. The image processing system using the Canny edge detection. Based on tests performed gained an average percentage of data consistency in detecting signs of the triangle by 83 333% and the system's success in ensuring that the information obtained in accordance with the database on the server data on Raspberry pi has a percentage of 92%. Time computing system in detecting three marks reaching 46.8 ms, the detection of two marks for 36.1 ms, and the detection of a sign that is 33.2 ms. Different light conditions affect the stability of the system in detecting signs. Stable system in detecting the mark on the light intensity value range of 6000 - 4000 luxmeter.

Abstract :  Quantum inspired Evolutionary Algorithm (QEA) which uses qubits has been the basis for the development of many Quantum Inspired algorithms. Diverging from this, a new Quantum Inspired Competitive Co-evolution algorithm (QCCEA) has been proposed by quantifying Competitive Co-evolution Algorithm (CCEA) using a new method of representation. In the literature, the performance of QCCEA against CCEA was evaluated for numerical optimization problems. In this paper we have further analysed the performance of QCCEA using Maze problem which server as the primary investigation for combinatorial optimization problems. In the process of evaluating the performance of QCCEA against CCEA, we have performed three different experiments on the Maze problem. The results show that QCCEA has produced more diversified solutions compared to CCEA at the expense of time variable.
