A group of the modules can thus generate various three-dimensional robotic structures and motions. In this paper, we develop a combination of different separately operated mobile robotic modules having reconfigurable structure and when they combine together they will form an assembly that will be adaptive, reconfigurable, and modular in structure. Although the module itself is a simple mechanism, reconfiguration planning for locomotion presents a computationally difficult problem due to the many combinatorial possibilities of modular configurations. It will be suitable for extra terrestrial explorations and having combined locomotion. This locomotion mode is based on multi-modules. Assembly consists of number of parts. Each individual part showing its own existence by locomotion and it will do own work separately. These all parts combine together when they have to lift something and carry and when they have to do some combined tasks. It will become multitasking machine which can survive on different terrains and difficult environments also. MK8 Reconfigurable Modular Robot consists of multi joint robotic arms. These arms have low level of locomotion and are able to reach to each others. There are six robotic arms and there is one rectangular mobile platform. After assembling all parts the structure will become Hexapod which is having dual locomotion modes, first is rolling mode and second is walking mode.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged as a suitable light source. Such implantable systems include small-dimensional diodes as light sources for nerve stimulation in tandem with neural electrodes. All such devices generate a huge amount of heat which may limit their functionality and characteristic behaviour. Heat generated, if not properly engineered to dissipate through the design, may cause serious damages to biological tissue especially in the case of brain implants. The main purpose of the proposed project is to analyse the thermal behaviour of Optrodes operating in the brain environment and thermal management techniques for such a device. The work started with the analysis of heat dissipation from an LED and methods to insulate the brain tissues. Finite element method simulation is done to investigate thermal characteristics of implantable Optrodes. In order to verify the simulated results, an Optrode structure is developed on a standard substrate. The temperature of the Optrode is measured experimentally in operating mode in environmental conditions similar to brain tissues. The results from simulation, experiment, and analytical calculations are compared for validation. Finally, optical characteristics of LED are measured to correlate the thermal behaviour of the system. From the results obtained, a technically feasible thermal management system for such an Optrode design is suggested.

Research paper thumbnail of Bacteriorhodopsin and SWCNT Scaffold for Optical Nanobiosensor

Journal of Life Sciences, Oct 25, 2010

ABSTRACT This paper describes theoretical steps to develop an optical nanobiosensor using bacteri... more ABSTRACT This paper describes theoretical steps to develop an optical nanobiosensor using bacteriorhodopsin (BR) as the biomembrane and Single-Walled Carbon NanoTube (SWCNT) as the scaffold. Bacteriorhodopsin is a retinal protein used by archaea that come under the family of halobacteria. This retinal protein acts as a proton pump and resulting proton gradient is used to change the voltage that pass across the drain and source. The biosensor contains nano ISFET where the channel is made of a carbon nanotube for the conduction of current. The gate is replaced by bacteriorhodopsin biomembrane. Bacteriorhodopsin can be used as a molecular-level ultra fast bi-stable red / green photo switch for making 3D optical molecular memories that reliably store data with 10,000 molecules/bit. The molecules switch in femtoseconds. Biomembrane will sense 510 nm and 650 nm wavelength of light and the sensing voltage can be used to convert the data into digital signals. This molecular level memory device can be used for 'Read-Write' operations. The sensor performance will also be ultra fast since it uses photons for the data storage, which are much faster than electrons used in normal memory devices, and the 3D storage capacity is much higher maximum of 10 13 /cm 2 .

This has come about due to the various requirements, some being cost driven, others performance/reliability issues and others by the ever reducing design cycle times. The incumbent quartz based devices have long since been the standard by which most of the new invention devices are compared, at least from a marketing standpoint. This is due to the long (some 75 years) history of quartz as a very stable, high quality material. Frequency versus temperature response as well as aging, jitter and phase noise characteristics are well chronicled in the industry. However a concise technical correlation of such characteristics with the dasiareplacementpsila technology is rather elusive. This exercise seeks to apply standard measurement techniques under the same test conditions for all devices for direct comparison of performance and capability. All devices characterized in this paper were commercially purchased to ensure a random sampling of the technology. This data represents the technology that was commercially available at the time of the study.

Majority of these engineering colleges where mostly established by politicians, small scale businessmen, and individuals who used privatization of higher education as a mean to enhance their wealth and power in the society. Though the regulatory body like All India Council for Technical Education has been regulating the quality of the education, they have miserably failed to improve the quality of education at large. The structured curriculum delivered through, outdated university system has not created professionals who are up-to-date with technological changes. Other than the Information Technology (IT) service industry, IT Enabled Service Industry (ITES) and traditional manufacturing industries majority of the engineers don't find employment or able to be technical entrepreneurs like in developed countries. This paper critically reviews the shortcoming of the current undergraduate engineering college system through employment generation, research, development, social-economic leverages and quality of education issues.

Signal integrity (SI) is and will continue to be a major concern in Very High Speed deep sub-micron VLSI designs where the proximity of signal carrying lines leads to coupling effect, crosstalk, glitches, unpredictable signal delays and other parasitic side effects. However, at present there are no standard test methods that are capable of detecting the various faults related to signal integrity. This paper is addressing some of the signal integrity issues related to timing (glitches) [5] and IR drop due to the effect of cross talk between two I/Os operating at high frequencies. We also try to analyze and validate the SI effects by representing the different transmission interconnects models functioning in multi-supply voltage design with different clock frequencies.
