Title: Zigbee based trolley cart access system for shopping
Abstract: In a world which is running out of time, in every supermarket people are forced to wait in long queues for billing. In this paper it is proposed that the time can be saved for each customer. RFID is used for reading the product code and sending the data to ZigBee module interfacing with RFID module. The proposal contains trolley modules. The RF Reader is fixed in to the trolley cart and an individual identity number can be given to that trolley corresponding to RFID reader by which customer identification and the particular trolley identification can be matched. While the customer puts his product in to that trolley, the RFID Reader reads the product code and sends the data to ZigBee module. In the same way another module of ZigBee is connected through the standard RS232 interface with PC. The prices are automatically updated in the central database. The received data is displayed in the PC. The Front-end software is developed with Visual Basic 6.0.

Title: Power consumption reduction using PIR sensors in street lighting system
Abstract: At present the world’s concern is all about reducing the power usage in all forms, as the major sources of power are nonrenewable and are draining out. In most countries and especially in India, power is wasted in various sectors like public lighting systems, where during late hours at night in streets, rural roads and less frequent roads, no one will be there but the lights will be still glowing. To reduce this wastage of power, we have suggested a solution using PIR(pyroelectric infrared) sensors to light a particular area by sensing whether a person or vehicle passes by or comes in that way and the direction in which user is moving. To implement this, PIR sensor with controller are placed in the street for each 100m interval. If a vehicle comes into the sensor region, this region along with next region is lit in that direction and When the user leaves, the lamps are turned off. But this will not be suitable for main roads and very frequent roads. This would reduce the power wastage to a greater extent.

Title: Brain Controlling Artificial Legs
Abstract: This paper describes a brain controlled robotic leg which is designed to perform the normal operations of a human leg. After the leg implantion, it can be controlled with the help of user’s brain signals alone and can perform operation like walking, running, climbing stairs etc. The entire system is controlled with the help of advanced microcontrollers and digital signal processors. The signals are taken out from the human brain with the help of electroencephalography technique. This system will be very much suitable for those who lost their legs in accidents and the proposed system is hundred percent feasible in the real time environment with the current technology. The Brain Controlled Artificial Legs are cost effective
Title: Blind’s Vision - An Innovative Braille System Keyboard for the Visually Impaired.
Abstract: This paper outlines the project to help the visually impaired to be independent and to interact with the computer system at a maximum probability by providing them the total enhancements for interaction with the system and servicing their necessities by the use of special keyboard which has 6 logical switches (or touch sensors) which are used to sense the characters. The typing in this keyboard is very easy, needs no prior practice for those who are well versed in BRAILLE language and takes around only 5 days to learn the typing on the board for those who aren’t familiar in BRAILLE language.

Title: Image processing for driver’s fatigue detection system
Abstract: In this paper the development of a low-cost system that could detect driver alertness/sleepiness is dealt with. produce timely warnings that could prevent accidents. The system uses a small monochrome security camera that points directly towards the driver’s face and monitors the driver’s eyes in order to detect fatigue. Eye regions in the face present great intensity changes and the eyes are located by finding the significant intensity changes. After location of eyes the intensity changes determine whether the eyes are open or closed. A large change in intensity corresponds to eye closure. If the eyes are found closed for 5 consecutive frames, the system draws the conclusion that the driver is falling asleep and issues a warning signal. The system is capable of working under reasonable lighting conditions also. The algorithm developed is unique and the image acquisition system acquires images with consistent photometric property under different climatic / ambient conditions using the near-infrared (NIR) illuminator.

Title: Bluetooth based smart sensor networks
Abstract: Various sensors are already in a broad use today as part of different devices or as standalone devices connected to a network usually to monitor industrial processes, equipments or installations. The advancements in technology, wireless communications have enhanced development of small, low power and low cost devices. Such devices when organized into a network, present a powerful platform that can be used in many interesting applications. Bluetooth is a low cost, short-range, wireless technology with small footprint, low power consumption and reasonable throughput. Bluetooth wireless technology has become global technology specification for “always on” wireless communication not just as a point-to-point but was a network technology as well. The kernel of this paper, deals about an implementation of bluetooth based sensor networks

Title: Digital Image watermarking
Abstract: In this paper a novel spatial domain LSB based watermarking scheme for color Images is proposed. The proposed scheme is blind and invisible watermarking. Our scheme introduces the concept of storing variable number of bits in each pixel based on the actual color value of pixel. Equal or higher the color value of channels with respect to intensity of pixel stores higher number of watermark bits. The Red, Green and Blue channel of the color image has been used for watermark embedding. The watermark is embedded into selected channels of pixel. The proposed method supports high watermark embedding capacity, which is equivalent to the size of cover image. The security of watermark is preserved by permuting the watermark bits using secret key. The proposed scheme is found robust to various image processing operations such as image compression, blurring, salt and pepper noise, filtering and cropping.It provides data hiding and copy right protection

Title: Intelligent fire alerting system
Abstract: In this project a protecting system consists of a fire sensor, a smoke sensor, a temperature sensor, telephone circuitries which automatically makes a call to the fire station and play the recorded message is constructed. The sensors are placed at the protecting areas and the logic circuits placed at the control room works according to the signals from the various sensors. The LED corresponding to the particular area will glow as a result of the logic circuit and the buzzer sounds due to the working of an NPN transistor. The output of the logic circuit is connected to a timer IC. This timer IC helps in making a call. Timer IC works according to a timing circuit. The main advantage is that the fire, temperature and smoke can be detected simultaneously. The LED helps to find the location where fire occurs. The buzzer helps in alerting us. The telephone circuit helps in passing a message to the fire station. This system can be used in petrol pumps, factories, hospitals etc.
