In this work, many ways of communications are used between human and computer, while using gesture is considered to be one of the most natural way in a virtual reality system. Because of its intuitiveness and its capability of helping the hearing impaired or speaking impaired, we develop a gesture recognition system. The Hand Talk glove is a normal, cloth driving glove fitted with flex sensors. The sensors output a stream of data that varies with degree of bend made by the fingers. Flex sensors are sensors that change in resistance depending on the amount of bend on the sensor. They convert the change in bend to electrical resistance - the more the bend, the more the resistance value. The output from the sensor is converted to digital and processed by using ARM7 processor and then it responds in the voice using speaker.

 

Keywords: speech impaired, hand signs, sensor glove, easy communication.

The data mining technology is a process of identifying patterns and information from a huge quantity of data. In a single repository data base where data is stored in central site, then applying data mining algorithms on these data base, patterns are extracted which are converted into information. It becomes important area for financial organization like banking sector, insurance sector, stock market etc. Banking systems gather huge amount of data like customer information, transaction details, loan details, credit card details etc. It helps to find hidden patterns in a group and discover unknown relationship in the data. Instead of quantitative and statistical data characteristics, this technique helps in data interpretations for the banking sector. Data mining tools helpful for leading banking for credit scoring service and approval predicting payment lapse, fraud detecting etc. By applying data mining techniques bankers are getting advantage in competitive market. It is also helpful for the retailers for customer buying tradition and also desires. This proposed work in this paper is the combination of supervised machine learning algorithms, Classification and Regression Tree (CART), Adaboost and Logitboost, Bagging and Dagging are proposed for classification of banking data. These resulted forms help researchers to detect fraud in banking data. The experimental result shows the performance analysis of different meta-learning algorithms and also compared on the basis of misclassification and correct classification rate. Smaller misclassification reveals that bagging algorithm performs better classification of banking data fraud detection technique..

The treatment unit costs are similarly between men and women, but there are more men than women with hypertension and increasing the medical costs. Medical costs are calculated for hypertensive diseases for all age groups of Mexican people and sex into range of 2012-2050. Probabilities of entrance or disease detection, permanence or in treatment and departure or death are calculated for each age group and sex. The maximum probabilities for each case are 1.92% (60-64), 53.31% (85+) and 3.13% (85+) for male. Analogously, for female are 2.45% (60-64), 72.46% (85+) and 2.27% (85+), respectively. The maximum number of people in treatment is between 20 and 29 years old, decreasing up to 65-69 (male) and 60-64 (female) years of age and, 70+ (male) and 65+ (female) increases again because of other sickness appear linking with hypertension.

The present study was carried out to determine the level of bioaccumulation of some heavy metals in fish which comes from the discharge of Ishmi river which has a length of 79 km from Tirana and flows into the Cape of Rodon in the Adriatic Sea. Three heavy metals, namely merkury (Hg), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) were selected for this study. The concentrations of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Cd ) were measured in muscles at about thirty fish species collected from five main landing areas in the Adriatik Sea. The levels of heavy metals varied significantly among fish species and organs. As expected, muscles always possessed the lowest concentrations of all metals. The concentration of metals in the present fish muscles were accepted by the international legislation limits and are safe for human consumption. Metal concentrations were determined by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer after nitric acid digestion of samples. Based on the results observe that all the fish samples were negative, they are very low in comparison with the permitted values.

SAR algorithm has been used to detect the sea ice to save the ship from any kind of damage. So that ship does not strike with ice. SAR algorithm applied on RADAR1 imagery data to get accurate results. Pixel based segmentation MIRGS algorithm to segment the ice has been studied. Due to this we can differentiate the ice based on its properties. PMA detector has also been studied and thus can easily detect and recognize target by knowing the signal values. There are many methods for multitemporal segmentation from the MODIS data called TempoSeg method for multiyear sea ice floes has also been studied. RADARSAT1 imagery data which is used by Synthetic Aperture Radar to detect the ice of sea at different regions of the oceans. Automated algorithm gives better result of target using R1 imagery data. In project work, we have to implement the automated SAR algorithm to detect sea ice which is already implemented. In further work we have to enhance this automated SAR algorithm to get more accurate results using RADARSAT1 imagery data and will try to use the RADARSAT2 imagery data to make it compatible to SAR algorithm.

Many vehicles on the highway move at speeds below the design speed obviating overtaking maneuvers by vehicles that move at the design speeds. The paper is an attempt to formulate a model to determine the minimum overtaking sight distance to be maintained by an ascending overtaking vehicle driver on an inclined double lane divided highway. The vehicle and road user characteristics as well as the vertical road geometry are combined to assess the overtaking distance by formulating a mathematical model that satisfies the laws of the mechanics of motion.

Extracting objects from background using the color image has some weaknesses. Using the depth image, these weaknesses can be solved. However, the depth information has some noise so the extraction of the object is incorrect. In this paper, we measure the accuracy of the methods in obtaining the background image from accumulation images. We find the best method of obtaining the background depth image.

A numerical solution of unsteady heat mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical plate with variable thermal conductivity is presented, taking into account the effects of diffusion-thermo (Dufour number) and heat source. The influences of various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are studied graphically while the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are tabulated.
