Reliability in cloud systems is an important aspect of delivering stable cloud services for users. Focusing on improving successful execution of tasks under resource constraints, this work proposes an enhanced and effective resource management method to achieve reliability within the cloud environment. The proposed method employs an adaptive reinforcement learning algorithm merged with the queuing theory to schedule user requests. There are many dynamic changes in the cloud environment in terms of resource availability and attributes that make a reliable task execution difficult to guarantee. As a solution to this problem, our approach employs a task scheduler, which can effectively adapt to those dynamic changes and successfully schedule user requests............

Clinical narrative text includes information related to a patient's medical history such as chronological progression of medical problems and clinical treatments. A chronological view of a patient's history makes clinical audits easier and improves quality of care. In this paper, we propose a clinical Problem- Action relation extraction method, based on clinical semantic units and event causality patterns, to present a chronological view of a patient's problem and a doctor's action. Based on our observation that a clinical text describes a patient's medical problems and a doctor's treatments in chronological order, a clinical semantic unit is defined as a problem and/or an action relation............

Detection of atrial fibrillation is done by checking the variations in the period of the heart rate, if a patient has atrial fibrillation then the period between each heart beat will vary. A light-based sensor can be used to detect these variations in heart rate; this is done by using Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor which is non-invasive. The sensor consists of a LED with a photodetector and is able to detect the variations in blood volume or blood flow in the body and directly correlates to heart rate. The detected signal needs to be amplified and filtered as the signal contains a lot of high frequency noise as well as low frequency motion artifacts. The benefits of compact low-cost Wi-Fi module can be harnessed to develop a wireless continuous heart rate monitoring system enhancing possibility of atrial fibrillation detection.

This paper studies the recent novel multiple- input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission technique called, quadrature spatial modulation (QSM), in underlay cognitive radio (CR) systems. In particular, a multiantenna secondary transmitter (ST) communicates with a multi-antenna secondary receiver (SR) in the presence of a primary receiver (PR). Considering only statistical knowledge of the ST-PR channel gain, the QSM-CR scheme is investigated using a mean value (MV)-based power allocation strategy referred to as MV-based scheme. Furthermore, assuming that the ST-PR channel gain is perfectly known, the QSM-CR scheme is investigated using a power allocation method based on instantaneous channel state information (CSI) referred to as CSI-based scheme............

This paper describes a robot using the Wireless technology to detect the coal mine. As the coal mine is a dangerous field, various fatal factors threaten people. Predominantly, it is very dangerous to enter into the tunnel without detecting the environment ahead in time, because the explosion may occur at any time. Aiming to the task, here the rescue robot can be sent to explosion environment and detect gas content and temperature, etc. Meanwhile, the environmental data detected by the robot are sent to the rescuers through SMS using GSM module. Here the Bluetooth wireless technology is used for data communication .Thus the rescuers can make the plan to save the life of miners as soon as possible. So the coal mine detect and rescue robot is a very useful robot in the coal mine disaster.

In a trendy world of wireless technology, we are using many numbers of devices to access the internet. Most of these devices use wireless communication. In electromagnetic spectrum due to lack of radio spectrum, we cannot use it for longer time. It will be led to network complexity, shortage of bandwidth and an increased risk of interference of radio frequencies. This conflict occur in Wi-fi in order to overcome this we are going to Li-fi technology. Li-Fi is a new way of wireless communication that uses light waves to transmit data instead of radio waves. Light-emitting diodes are used to transmit the data in visible light spectrum. Li-fi uses visible light communication and it has a promising future. On comparing with Wi-fi it has low latency, high efficiency, accessible spectrum, and high data can be achieved. It is highly secured so the data cannot be hacked. This paper aims at designing Li-fi transceiver for audio and video signal transmission with large increase in transmission distance and improvement of channel capacity.

The use of color in QR codes brings extra capacity, but also inflicts tremendous challenges on the decoding process due to chromatic distortion cross-channel color interference and illumination variation. Particularly, we further discover a new type of chromatic distortion bin high density color QR codes cross module color interference caused by the high density which also makes the geometric distortion correction more challenging .To address these problems ,we propose two approaches ,LSVM-CMI and QDA-CMI, which jointly model these different types of chromatic distortion. Furthermore, a robust geometric transformation method and several pipeline refinements are proposed to boost the decoding performance for mobile application...........

Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) and Anti-Denial-of-Service (DoS) employ Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) which provides visibility to the content of payload to detect network attacks. All DPI engines assume a pre-processing step that extracts the various protocol-specific fields. However, application layer (L7) field extraction is computationally expensive. We propose a novel Deep Packet Field Extraction Engine (DPFEE) for application layer field extraction to hardware. DPFEE is a content-aware, grammar-based, Layer 7 programmable field extraction engine for text-based protocols. Our prototype DPFEE implementation for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and HTTP protocol on a single FPGA, achieves a bandwidth of 408.5 Gbps and this can be scaled beyond 500 Gbps............

In order to the mitigate of power quality disturbance in smart grid system due to voltage swells using one of the powerful power custom devices namely Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). Almost all power quality problems originate from disturbances in the distribution networks. Power quality issues are gaining significant attention due to the increase in the number of sensitive loads. The DVR is normally installed between the source voltage and critical or sensitive load. Many of these loads use equipment that is sensitive to distortions or dips in supply voltages. Maximum AC loads consumes reactive power, it causes poor power quality in power system. The new configuration of DVR has been proposed using pic microcontroller.............

Many highway toll collection systems have already been developed and are widely used in India. Some of these include Manual toll collection, RF tags, Barcodes, Number plate recognition. All these systems have disadvantages that lead to some errors in the corresponding system. The system is based on Computer Vision vehicle detection using OpenCV library in Embedded Linux platform. The system is designed using Embedded Linux development kit (Raspberry pi). In this system, a camera captures images of vehicles passing through toll booth thus a vehicle is detected through camera. Depending on the area occupied by the vehicle, classification of vehicles as light and heavy is done. Further this information is passed to the Raspberry pi which is having web server set up on it. When raspberry pi comes to know the vehicle, then it access the web server information and according to the type of the vehicle, appropriate toll is charged. This system can also made to count moving vehiclesThe number plate of the vehicle is captured and the image is converted into text form. The vehicle can be checked whether it is registered or not by comparing the captured image with the database from the RTO that contains details about the registered vehicles

In traditional cognitive radio networks (CRNs), the interweave, underlay, overlay and hybrid spectrum sharing schemes are only spectrum-efficient in specific circumstances. In order to improve the robustness of spectrum sharing schemes in a dynamic traffic environment from the perspective of energy efficiency, adaptive spectrum sharing schemes are proposed in this work for both half-duplex (HD) and fullduplex (FD) CRNs. The proposed schemes allow the secondary users (SUs) to adaptively access the licensed spectrum, provided that PUs' traffic arrives at a low rate and energy efficiency gains exist. Based on the intermittent nature of the arrival and departure processes for PUs' traffic, closed-form expressions of energy efficiency for the traditional interweave, underlay, overlay, hybrid and the proposed schemes are investigated for both half-duplex and full-duplex modes. By defining energy efficiency loss, the impacts of the spectrum sensing error and channel estimation error are...........

Vehicular communication systems are networks in which vehicles and roadside units are the communicating nodes, providing each other with information, such as safety warnings and traffic information. Li-Fi (Light – Fidelity) is a visible light communication (VLC) system that uses Light-Emitting Diodes(LEDs) for data transmission. The existing system provides an alert message to avoid collisions but the drivers will not consider the alert message all the time. The aim of the project is to prevent accidents by controlling the speed of the vehicle and then it is stopped automatically using relay. When a vehicle is jammed at the road, an alert message will be sent to the following vehicles. The distance between the two vehicle is calculated using Ultrasonic Sensor and the information is sent to the corresponding person.
