Shared resource problem arises in realtime applications due to the lack of mutual exclusiveness of resource for a task that leads to data corruption and contention. This paper implements kernel activity schemes for effective handling of multiple tasks using RTOS concepts to suit critical applications and concurrent task handling in realtime environment. To protect shared data and to achieve task synchronization, schemes of interrupt enabling/disabling and global variable usage are employed using Priority based Preemptive Task scheduling algorithm in uc/os-II Real Time Operating System on cortex M3 processor. This algorithm is optimum with respect to task execution time and interrupts response. The resultant empirical evidence demonstrates improvement of system performance and response under critical activities.Keywords

This work demonstrates the application of PVDF/CNT composite as strain sensor and defect detector. The PVDF/CNT films were prepared by solution/filtration method and were bonded directly onto specimens by nonconductive adhesive. The two electrodes were connected on to PVDF/CNT films with silver conducting epoxy to reduce contact resistance. Conventional Strain gauge is also attached to other end of the specimen for comparison. For testing purpose 9CR 1MO material is considered and cut into dog bone shaped structures according to ASTM standards. Tensile load is applied by subjecting the specimen in a servo hydraulic test frame .Calibration curves were plotted with change in voltage versus the strain obtained in test specimen. The result shows that there is linear change in voltage across the film when subjected to tension. The defect detection is done using electronic measurement technique. The results shows that the presence of defect was marked by high value of resistance on that particular region and the resistance value was low in non-defective region.

This paper identifies and resolves the weakness and limitation of existing Cellular Automata (CA)-based byte Error Correcting Code (ECC) and proposes an improved CA-based multi byte ECC which overcomes the identified weakness up to some extent. The code is very much suited from VLSI design viewpoint and requires significantly less hardware and power for decoding compared to the existing techniques employed for Reed–Solomon (RS) Codes. In this paper we are designing the Cellular Automata (CA) based multi byte error correction architecture. Cellular Automata is established for developing bits and bytes Error Correcting Codes. This code is very much suited from Very Large Scale Integration design viewpoint and requires much less hardware and power for decoding. The existing CA based error correcting scheme explains only about the double byte error correction. But this paper explains the error correction possibilities even if more than two errors present.Keywords

A new technique is presented in this paper for the design of a Hybrid TFT operational amplifier made by morphous Silicon thin film transistor and MOSFET which operates at 3V power supply. The OPAMP designed is a two-stage Hybrid TFT OPAMP followed by an output buffer. This Operational Amplifier employs a Miller capacitor and is compensated with a current buffer compensation technique. The unique behaviour of the MOS transistors in saturation region not only allows a designer to work at a low voltage, but also at high frequency. Designing of two-stage op-amps is a multi-dimensional-optimization problem where optimization of one or more parameters may easily result into degradation of others. As compared to the conventional approach, the proposed hybrid operational amplifier result in a higher unity gain amplifier under the same load condition. In this paper we analyze the results of non-inverting amplifier, inverting amplifier, differential amplifier, differentiator and integrator of hybrid operational amplifier, using simulation with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (HSPICE).

Analytical model for transconductance ac characteristic of buried-gate GaAs MESFET has obtained by solving continuity equation. When optical fiber is inserted into the active layer of buried-gate GaAs MESFET, the modulated light with frequency is 0.1GHz and Photon absorption coefficient (α) = 1.0x106 m-1 are applied to the buried gate GaAs MESFET through the optical fiber without any deviation. The drain current has calculated from that transconductance is noted. Drain-source current has calculated from the mobility of carriers and absorption coefficient of light. The mobility of the carrier controls the transconductance. The number of holes crossing the Schottky junction calculates the photo voltage. The transconductance and photo voltage characteristic indicate very good performance of the device compared to other devices like MESFET under back illumination and MESFET with front illumination having surface gate. It is highly use full in the nanotechnology and high-speed device.Keywords

In this paper a comparative analysis of effect of noise in MODFET and MESFET was carried out. Noise is inherent in the device because of various reasons such as leakage current, drifting of charge carriers randomly in the drift space and also because of the charge transportation. There are different kinds of noise which affect the performance of the devices at low and higher frequencies. In this paper, the effect of noise at the input and output of MODFET and MESFET w.r.t to frequency is analyzed. Results are analyzed at 3GHz and 9GHz, because the influence of shot noise will be higher at higher frequencies, whereas flicker noise is higher at lower frequencies. Results show that the effect of noise is more on the MESFET when compared with the MODFET. The effect of noise on the drain characteristics of modfet is also analyzed, where the maximum drain current without the influence of the noise is observed to be 130mA, whereas under the influence of noise, it is observed as 15uA. The work is carried out using PSPICE AD of Orcad 9.1.Keywords

The DC performance of depletion mode AlGaAs/GaAs MODFET under backside optical illumination is studied. A device structure with fiber inserted into the substrate upto the GaAs layer is considered for direct illumination into the GaAs layer. The AlGaAs layer is considered transparent to illumination. The photoconductive effect and the internal reflection effect which increase the 2DEG channel electron concentration are considered. These free electrons generated in the GaAs layer due to both photoconductive effect and the internal reflection effect are collected in 2DEG, there by increasing the source to drain current. The photo generated holes in GaAs layer drift towards the semi-insulating substrate and are capacitively coupled into the grounded source. The sheet concentration , I-V characteristics, transconductance and transfer characteristics of the device AlGaAs/GaAs MODFET have been evaluated and discussed. The I-V characteristics is compared with available experimental data at a particular gate source voltage with and without illumination.

Background: In the recent internet world, the watermarking security dispute has incurring design challenges on watermarking techniques. This article has anticipated a robust and secure watermarking pattern, based on SC-LWT-SVD which is projected so as to challenge the numerous serious watermarking security disputes, i.e., copyright protection through encryption, unsanctioned interpretation, false positive recognition, and numerous prerogatives of tenure complications. Methods: Initially SC-LWT is accomplished to split the input values, in order to acquire approximate coefficients. The SVD is applied on LWT coefficients to originate singular constants. Findings: The proposed SC–LWT– SVD constructed watermarking arrangement is verified with numerous malicious and un-malicious outbreaks and the experimental outcomes illustrate that it comprehends the security prerequisites which resolves false positive detection and copyright protection. Furthermore, this pattern is deliberated to blind scheme. Application: The simulation model is accustomed to verify the viability of the anticipated pattern and its forcefulness in contradiction of numerous outbreaks and to link with some earlier systems.Keywords

The internet and its myriad applications like the email, chat, social networking have profoundly impacted our daily lives. The aim of the paper is to study the difference in perceptions of the Indian Military Officers and their Wives on the role of internet applications on human abilities and relationship of the difference in perceptions with regards to gender and age. The method used is quantitative research and the population comprised of Indian Military Officers and their Wives. A random sample had been taken from the said population from various Military establishments throughout India and at the Defence Services Staff College. The survey instrument was a questionnaire through which data were obtained from the sample to seek their inputs on the use and impact of the internet applications on human abilities. Based on literature review it is seen that the internet due to its Immense utility has improved our abilities and therefore, it needs to be seen if there exists any difference in perceptions. Thus the hypotheses for the study has been formulated as "The perception of Indian Military Officers and their wives on the role played by internet applications on human abilities is judged similarly by the opposite sexes and by persons from different age groups". The results have supported the hypotheses and show that the perceptions on the role of intemet applications are seen similarly by both sexes and different age groups.Keywords
