Spatiotemporal parameters measurement of human gait using developed FSR for prosthetic knee joint
No full textMeasuring the heel strike and toe time during walking provides valuable insight to the spatiotemporal parameters of human gait. The authors developed a sensor mechanism using FSR. Result shows that FSR sensor show high degree of accuracy and repeatability for measuring heel strike and toe contact time. The objective of the research was to develop a rugged and robust sensor mechanism to be used in prosthetic shoes which will help to determine the gait parameters for precise control of intelligent prosthetic devices.

FES supported sitting-standing-sitting of completely paraplegic patient
No full textPaper describes successful achievement of sitting standing function for a completely paraplegic patient by using a newlydeveloped four-channel FES stimulator. Microcontroller governs open loop control system for predefined and measuredstimulation parameters. Surface electrodes are used to give stimulation.

Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
A Unified Shell model for Buoyancy-Driven Turbulence
No full textWe construct a unified shell model for stably stratified and convective turbulence. Shell model simulation of stably stratified flow in turbulent regime exhibit Bolgiano-Obukhbov (BO) scaling in which the kinetic energy spectrum varies as . However, simulation of convective turbulence shows Kolmogorov's spectrum. These results are consistent with the direct numerical simulations of Kumar {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 90}, 023016 (2014)]. We also observe a dual scaling ( and ) for a limited range of parameters in stably stratified flow
Minimum error probability MIMO-aided relaying: multihop, parallel, and cognitive designs
No full textA design methodology based on the minimum error probability (MEP) framework is proposed for a nonregenerative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relayaided system. We consider the associated cognitive, the parallel and the multi-hop source-relay-destination (SRD) link design based on this MEP framework, including the transmit precoder, the amplify-and-forward (AF) relay matrix and the receiver equalizer matrix of our system. It has been shown in the literature that MEP based communication systems are capable of improving the error probability of other linear counterparts. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme indeed achieves a significant BER reduction over the existing linear schemes

Highly Accurate Finite Difference Schemes for the Three-Dimensional Helmholtz Equation
No full textA highly accurate sixth-order compact finite difference scheme is proposed for the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation in a homogeneous medium. A hybrid scheme, a combination of two schemes, is also proposed for the Helmholtz equation. The proposed schemes are illustrated by four examples, the first two of which arise in acoustics, while the last two arise in electromagnetics. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed schemes have very high accuracy in comparison to available schemes for the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation.Neelesh Kumar, Highly Accurate Finite Difference Schemes for the Three-Dimensional Helmholtz Equation, J.
