Abstract: Automatic Temperature Controller and Smoke Detection (ATCaSD) system, as an embedded mechanism, is quite interesting, yet essential in the modern era. It is expected to be very handful in the tropical and sub-tropical countries, where temperature always remains high. In addition, the use of minerals, such as kerosene, coal, or forested resources, like woods, as fuel in home and in factories often generate high temperature that eventually hampers the well-being and health of the people, involved in those works. ATCaSD is a micro-controlled automatic system, designed primarily to control the increasing temperature within a defined room-environment as well as to detect the smoke to prevent suffocation and to re-fresh the air quality.

Abstract: Bitcoin’s block reward is dependent on miner hardware profiles such as computation capacity and mining hardware identities, therefore, incentivizing miners to upgrade mining rigs in order to mine more blocks and maximize the payoff. As a result, miners who refuse to upgrade mining hardware suffer decreasing payoff because the mining difficulty increases automatically as the computation power of the entire network grows. However, this phenomenon is highly counter-productive in Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks, where CPUs are embedded into various devices and hardware upgrading require non-trivial efforts, in addition to the constrained computational and power capabilities. As a result, we propose the Incremental Block Reward (IBR) to encourage miners to reuse mining hardware, thereby helping stabilize the network, reduce energy consumption, and encourage new miners (i.e. more devices) to join. The simulation results show IBR facilitates even wealth distribution and promotes more fair and long-term mining establishment.

Abstract: This paper presents a design and simulation study of high performance  low-pass filter based on Cascode OTA using 0.9 V. The cascode OTA is used as the active building block. It is a new class of Operational Amplifier (OP-AMP). It has flexibility and tunability unlike Op Amp. Further, CNT technology is used along with MOS technology  to  design and simulate proposed  structure at 45nm technology node. The proposed structure can be used. Figure 2 shows the schematic diagram of one of the important application of CNT, that is, Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET). In a CNTFET, the channel is made up of parallel combination of SWCNTs. The source and drain regions are highly doped regions and the CNT channel is undoped. The important advantages of CNTFET include 1D ballistic transport of charge carriers, high mobility, large drive current and very low power consumption for low power applications. It is observed that the proposed LPF is also consuming low power of 28.43 µW.

Abstract: Describes the thought of Reversible Information Hiding (RDH) methodology is predicated on steganography. Recently loads of attention is paid to RDH in encrypted image. Security ought to be provided for the transmission of confidential and sensitive information over the network and insecure channel, loss in data happens. To secure the data, code the wrap information and introduce is secret information into cover media. therefore the protection of image and embedded data is maintained, Since RDH manages the outstanding secured property, and thus the first image are usually recovered with none loss, Reversible Information Concealing (RDH). At intervals the planned rule, bar chart Shifting (HS) is used for RDH, and thus the BHSEA methodology is employed for encryption. The BHSEA methodology performs four processes for encoding; Reversible info concealing can be a kind of info concealing techniques whereby the host image is usually recovered specifically. Being lossless makes this methodology acceptable for medical, military applications and cloud storage. In cloud storage, a content owner can code an image to preserve his/her privacy, and transfer the encrypted information onto cloud. Reversible information activity in encrypted image, which could recover the primary image with none distortion from the marked image once the hidden data, are extracted. Existing rule consists of varied hierarchical steps for the data embedding and thus the encryption. Therefore, the planned rule area unit usually acceptable for the stratified access system, where the permission is granted in keeping with the numerous access rights and planned algorithmic program up strength and authentication of image information concealing. Generation of encrypted image information, image information activity in encrypted into cover image, image information extraction and image information recovery. Projected technique may be a traditional BHSEA approach. n this process PSNR value is high in BHSEA compare to RIEDHA.

Abstract: A radio frequency based wireless technology through which the nodes are interconnected with sensor or actuator capabilities placed within or on the human body is called WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network). A network that is designed to sense the conditions of human body and pass the sensed information to base station is called wireless body area network. Due to such unique property of the network channel sensing and energy consumption are the major issues. In this research, channel sensing in wireless body area network is studied. The protocol called ELBPQA is studied which assigns priority to the data for the transmission. The ELBPQA protocol assign priority to data packets but clocks of the sensors are not synchronized which affect its efficiency. To improve performance of ELBPQA protocol, the clocks of sensor nodes are synchronized using time lay technique. The improved ELBPQA protocol and already existing ELBPQA protocol, are compared in terms of throughput, packet loss and number of dead nodes. The performance of proposed protocol is high as compared to ELBPQA protocol. It is analyzed that when the clocks of sensor nodes are synchronized then the Packet Delivery Ratio is optimized up to 8%, power consumption is reduced by 5%, delay is reduced up to 5%  and throughput is improved by 10%.
