Abstract: This paper présents a new technique of multi-resolution analysis of CT images of primary liver cancer. The ripplet transform acts as an efficient multi scale geometric analysis tool for digital images. Its potential towards the image denoising, image compression and image restoration are an emerging research area of image processing and pattern recognition. In this work the role of ripplet transform type II in the domain of feature extraction and classification are examined. The coefficients of ripplet transform directly and statistical features and GLCM features of the transformed domain are extracted and applied to the machine learning algorithm and estimated the accuracy. The classification matches with the labelling done by an experienced radiologist.

Abstract: Launch vehicle experience significant disturbance moment in the atmospheric phase. During the high dynamic pressure region, wind causes additional angle of attack increasing the aerodynamic and structural load. Classical attitude control based on angular position and rate feedback minimize trajectory dispersions and provide minimal load reduction. Load relief system is used to minimize the aerodynamic load with acceptable trajectory dispersion. This paper deals with classical attitude control and load relief control based on acceleration feedback. Control gains are designed by pole placement method considering rigid body dynamics. Flexible dynamics is also considered and separate filter is designed for both cases to satisfy the rigid and flexible margins. The load relief effect of both cases is examined in the presence of wind.

Abstract: Off-the-shelf microcontrollers and DSPs used for power electronics applications have got limited resources and becomes obsolete faster. Power electronic systems usually have a lifetime of 10 to 15 years, whereas a conventional processor becomes obsolete within 4 to 5 years making it difficult to provide long term support. This necessitates system redesign, increasing the time-to-market of the product., especially in multi-processor environment. This paper presents the development of a high speed reconfigurable controller for power electronics based on System On a Programmable Chip (SOPC) design methodology. The controller is realized in an Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) using integrated soft CPU core.........

Abstract: Electric spring is a recently proposed concept to enhance the stability of future smart grid with renewable energy sources. Electric spring along with noncritical loads can form smart load which can be used to regulate the voltage at the point of distribution system where it is connected. In this paper, electric spring is implemented using Simulink. By observing the voltage waveforms with and without electric spring, the effectiveness of electric spring in regulating mains voltage is verified.

Abstract: A standout amongst the bestrecent data mining area is Utility Miningthat highlighting on a broad range of utility elements and alsointegrates utility ideas in data mining process. Rare utility mining that goes for finding itemsets that infrequently occur but has higher utilities in the database. The Existing research on high utilityrareitemsets mining concentrate on the static transaction database, where all transactions are treated with the same significance and the database are scanned more than once. Data mining high utility rare items from the evolving data streams is a significant challenge, because of the high arrival rate, enormous in size and so forth............

Abstract: Lately, utility mining has grown as a developing area in Data Mining field. It remains computationally costly both as far as runtime and memory utilization. Data type, quality, and dimensionality of the dataset are some of the factors which affect the computational cost of utility mining. However, high dimensionality of the datasetcauses more difficulties in managing runtime and memory utilizationduring mining process as compared to the other two factors. A best possible solution could be the dimensionality reduction of the dataset in such a way that it should retain the significant information present in the dataset while discarding the noise.Hence it is a significant challengefor data mining researchers to design a more proficientmethod for extracting high utility itemsets. We develop a novel dimensionality reduction method in this paper by addressing the above issue for improving the efficiency of utility itemset miningwith restricted memory space and processing time.

Abstract: Single phase ac-dc PFC bridgeless modified SEPIC rectifier with multiplier stage can be used to improve the efficiency at low input voltage and to reduce the switch-voltage stress. The absence of an input rectifier bridge and the presence of only two semiconductor switches during each switching cycle results in less conduction losses and improved voltage gain compared to the conventional full bridge topology. Operation in DCM enables the converter to achieve higher power factor and lesser total harmonic distortion (THD) of input current.Voltage stress over the whole range of input voltage is less than the conventional boost and SEPIC converters..............

Abstract: The most efficient and popular form of energy and the modern society is heavily dependent on the electric supply. The life cannot be imagined without the supply of electricity. At the same time the quality of the electric power supplied is also very important for the efficient functioning of the end user equipment. The term power quality became most prominent in the power sector and both the electric power supply company and the end users are concerned about it. The quality of power delivered to the consumers depends on the voltage and frequency ranges of the electric power delivered from that of the standard values then the quality of power delivered is affected.............

Abstract: Induction heating are applied for several industrial and domestic application .Among these application it is mainly applied to domestic field as an induction cooker. In conventional induction heating application, efficiency and cost are compromised due to the conduction loss and increased components. The proposed topology with full bridge converter uses only two diodes reducing conduction loss and a direct ac-ac conversion is possible here. The IGBT is operated by a switching frequency of 150KHz.

Abstract: The ordinary grid connected PV micro inverters are faced with limitations on the performance properties. In this paper a novel approach with good performance properties is proposed. The proposed inverter includes a quadrupler, having high efficiency and less voltage stress across the diodes. The proposed converter has considerably less stress that come across the diodes that use in the inverter section and, also the protection scheme provided is to eliminate the chances of the error due to fault. The backbone in the proposed converter is implemented using perturb and observe algorithm so that the fluctuation in the voltage can be reduce and can attain maximum power point. This paper includes simulation and experimental results are also presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

Abstract: For voltage sensitive industrial applications a momentary disturbance in grid voltage interrupts the production line. Dynamic voltage restorer is used as a solution to ride through such conditions. The paper presents a DVR with fast and accurate dynamic response. The operation and performance of DVR is highly influenced by the control algorithm implemented. The paper presents control architecture for DVR using Proportional Resonant controller. DVR topology with an active shunt converter connected to load side is used in this paper. DC link voltage variation during sudden load changes and sag/swell occurrences is diminished by an active current feed forward algorithm using moving average filter. The performance is verified experimentally at field trial in a textile mill with numerous non-linear loads and sophisticated electronic equipment which are sensitive to the quality of power.

Abstract: This paper proposes a single-phase seven-level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, with a novel pulse width-modulated (PWM) control scheme. Three reference signals that are identical to each other with an offset that is equivalent to the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal were used to generate the PWM signals. The inverter is capable of producing seven levels of output-voltage levels (Vdc, 2Vdc/3, Vdc/3, 0,−Vdc,−2Vdc/3,−Vdc/3) from the dc supply voltage.
