The project is concerned with the design of a water tank process and experimental evaluation of feedback control structures to achieve water level and temperature control at desired set point values. The manipulated variables are the pump power, on the water outflow line, and heat supply to the tank. Detailed, first principles-based, dynamic models as well as empirical models for this interactive and multivariable process have been developed and used for controller design. Furthermore, this experimental study entails and discusses the design of the water tank process and associated instrumentation, real time data acquisition and control using the DeltaV distributed control system (DCS), process modeling, controller design, and evaluation of the performance of tuning methodologies in a closed loop manner.

Service orientation is an approach to software systems development that has become a popular way to implement distributed, loosely coupled systems, because it offers such features as standardization, platform independence, well-defined interfaces, and tool support that enable legacy system integration. In such platforms, the collaborations typicallyinclude both human and software services, thus creating highly dynamic and complex interactions.The increasing complexity of compositions and the distribution ofpeople and services require adaptive and context-aware interaction models.We present a novel approach addressing the need for flexibleinvolvement of experts and knowledge workers in distributed collaborations. In this paper we investigate methods for exploiting such community feedback to automatically identify high quality content.ExpertHITS takes trust-relations and link properties in social networks into account to estimate the reputation of users.In computer science, trust is an essential component of the vision for the Semantic Web, where both new problems and new applications of trust are being studied.

DVB-T2 or DVB-NGH, are last and future generation wireless communication standards, for digital video broadcasting. They are using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system in order to fully exploit the combine diversity and spatial multiplexing channel capacity. For this purpose Full-rate full-diversity (FRFD) space-time codes (STC) are used, but they presents high complexity and bit error rate in detection of received signals while using the list fixed complexity sphere decoding algorithm. Here a method is developed by using selective mapping (SLM) technique in order to further reduce the bit error rate in the reception of FRFD space frequency block codes (SFBC) in bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) OFDM systems.

In this paper, a novel multiplier architecture based on ROM approach using Vedic Mathematics is proposed. This multiplier's architecture is similar to that of a Constant Coefficient Multiplier (KCM). However, for KCM one input is to be fixed, while the proposed multiplier can multiply two variables. The proposed multiplier is implemented on a Cyclone III FPGA, compared with Array Multiplier and Urdhava Multiplier for both 8 bit and 16 bit cases and the results are presented. The proposed multiplier is 1.5 times faster than the other multipliers for 16x16 case and consumes only 76% area for 8x8 multiplier and 42% area for 16x16 multiplier.

Flame of the gas stove is the source of heat where only the upper surface of flame in contact with the vessel is utilized in conducting heat and the remaining part of the flame other than the upper region, surrounding the burner cannot be utilized for cooking. This heat is utilized in conversion of heat energy into electrical energy by "power cook from gas stove" product, Design and development of a "power cook from gas stove" product, based on seebeck effect principle, waste heat region of gas stove was done and experiment was carried out. Through the experiment, it was concluded that waste heat can be utilized by placing the product closer to the gas flame for better output, also we concluded that by increasing the temperature of heat absorber and decreasing the temperature of heat sink output voltage can be maximized. Hence the output is directly proportional to the heat absorber temperature and inversely proportional to the heat sink temperature together.

A current source converter (CSC) based shunt active power filter (APF) system is designed and implemented to suppress the amplification of low order harmonics at the medium voltage (MV) interface bus between the distribution and transmission systems. Four CSC based APF modules designed at 1.0 Kv are operated in parallel, and connected to the 31.5 kV MV bus via a specially designed coupling transformer. In each APF module, a specially designed LC-type input filter eliminates the switching ripples, and active damping method embedded into the control software suppresses harmonic frequencies around corner frequency of the input filter. The resulting system can operate at relatively high frequencies in the range from 2.0 to 3.0 kHz, depending upon which selected harmonics among 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th are to be eliminated. Furthermore, in order to reduce the installed capacity of CSCs, selective harmonic amplification method (SHAM) is applied to the APF system described in the paper.

Long extra high voltage (EHV) ac lines cannot be loaded to their thermal limits in order to keep sufficient margin against transient instability. With the scheme proposed in this paper, it is possible to load these lines very close to their thermal limits. The conductors are allowed to carry usual ac along with dc superimposed on it. The added dc power flow does not cause any transient instability. This paper gives the feasibility of converting a double circuit ac line into composite ac–dc power transmission line to get the advantages of parallel ac–dc transmission to improve stability and damping out oscillations. Simulation and experimental studies are carried out for the coordinated control as well as independent control of ac and dc power transmissions. No alterations of conductors, insulator strings, and towers of the original line are needed. Substantial gain in the load ability of the line is obtained. Master current controller senses ac current and regulates the dc current orders for converters online such that conductor current never exceeds its thermal limit.
