This paper presents a unified codec scheme for reduction of area and crosstalk in RC and RLC modeled interconnects using both bus encoding and shielding insertion technique. It is based upon bus invert method and focuses on 4 bit coupled lines. Previously used codec scheme focused independently on either RC or RLC models and they considered coupling between 5 bit coupled lines i.e. 4 bit data lines and 1 bit control line. However, our proposed codec scheme focuses on all types of couplings i.e. Type-0 to Type-4 and demonstrates an overall reduction in area as well as crosstalk considering coupling between 4 bit coupled lines and isolating the control signal using redundant shielding thus reducing the cases of coupling drastically. The proposed work has been implemented using both Semi Custom and Full Custom design approaches. The model has been described, synthesized and simulated in hardware description language VHDL along with its FPGA implementation. The power consumption has been calculated using Xpower tool of Xilinx. Same model has also been implemented using Cadence Virtuoso Analog Design Suite in 0.18um CMOS technology and the corresponding power, delay and area has been computed. The proposed scheme demonstrates an overall reduction of 76.68% in crosstalk delay and 56.33% in chip area and transistor count. 79.58% power reduction is achieved in full-custom design implementation as compared to semi-custom design implementation.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i4.3173

Quality control in Tiles Industry is of great importance. Therefore, it is effective to improve an automatic inspection system, instead of manpower, to increase accuracy and velocity and decrease costs. To this end, a new method to segment tile surfaces is offered in this study. This method aims at detecting defective areas in a tile, based on extracting features of edge defects. This method is based on the idea that human eye can better perceive the defects in a tile by looking at its edges. In the proposed method, first, in order to extract frequency characteristics resistant against transference, Undecimated Discrete Wavelet Packets transform is applied on images. Later, by computing local entropy values on high-frequency sub-bands images, those which appropriately include images defects are chosen to extract statistical features. Finally, Back propagation neural network method is used to determine segmented images containing defective areas. The obtained results, both visually and computationally indicates the higher efficacy of this method compared with the related state of the art methods.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i4.3014

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) devices have been used widely in the market. WiMAX-based video surveillance products have also been available. The acceptance of WiMAX in the market, as well as the availability of WiMAX products, contributes to the possibility of implementing it for dedicated video surveillance application. However, since WiMAX is designed to accommodate various applications with different quality of service (QoS) requirements, WiMAX–based dedicated surveillance network may not achieve optimum performance, as all SSs generate the same QoS requirements. The scheduler cannot implement traffic type priority; therefore, service classification does not work as expected. This paper proposes WiMAX adjustment to transform a multi-purpose WiMAX network into a network dedicated to video surveillance. NS-2 simulations show that the proposed adjustment is able to deliver low delay and high quality video surveillance.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i4.3181

A solar module can’t transfer maximum power to the load itself due to impedance mismatch. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system could be employed to have the maximum power. A new MPPT system has been developed using Buck-Boost type DC-DC converter. The system is highly efficient and robust. PIC16F73 microcontroller has been used to control the DC-DC converter output. PV module output power is measured using microcontroller. The output power is compared with the previous module output power and the duty cycle of the converter is adjusted continuously to track MPP. This process repeats until the output power reaches near to the maximum power point.In this paper, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system is developed using two-switch non-inverting buck-boost converter. Perturb and observe (P & O) MPPT algorithm is used to transfer maximum power from the PV panel which is executed using a microcontroller.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i4.2772

The user can access data from any server with unlimited data with the security. Multi-user tendency will cost lesser than the expected cost in the single user environment. While dealing with cloud computing, confidential data can be secured from the unauthorized access and internal threats. Cloud servers use smart techniques for achieving this requirement like encryption and decryption of data. The database is stored in the encrypted format on the server & a complex query can be fired on it. Cloud server will maintain the access control policies to reveal the data from the database that are in the encrypted format. In the access control policies, we use KMA (Key Management Authority) which provides the keyset for encryption & decryption of the database. The attributes entered by the user will create one public key which is cipher text based. So this technique is called as cipher text based technique. This key is used for encryption. While registering, user will choose the policy and select the attributes on which security policy is based. Because of this it is called as cipher text policy attribute based encryption (CP-ABE). To achieve this complex encryption, we can use many algorithms like AES or DES encryption algorithms with CPABE algorithm. This scheme allows making SQL-like queries on encrypted database in multiuser environment while at the same time, the database owner assign different access rights to users that defines a specific policy for the database. The major use of this encryption is privacy, access control and data confidentiality and multi-user access control.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i4.3061

In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) is designed to optimize thematrix gain of state feedback controller. A linear mathematical model of asynchronous generator with excitation system is used as controlled system.The conventional methods that used to find the matrix gain need tediouscalculations with compared to neural networks. The simulation proves thatthe proposed feedback controller based neural network optimization method has the better result in order to prove the dynamic performance of a single machine connected to infinite bus system(SMIB). The robustness of the proposed controller is tested by disturbance in excitation voltage. The results are compared with results of controller based on conventional methods. Thepotentials of the proposed technique are investigated using MATLAB software.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i4.3125
