The proposed work discusses different parameters which are considered to improve the performance of a tin oxide-based thin film gas sensor. This includes analysing and deducing suitable catalytic additives to enhance the performance of the sensor in terms of selectivity and sensitivity. Chemical sensitization and electronic sensitization are performed to improve the rate of response of the sensor. © 2016 IETE.

Analysis of factors for improving functionality of tin oxide gas sensor

The main aim of the proposed work is to review and develop a theoretical background for analysis of different types of neuromodulation techniques. Neuromodulation is a clinical therapeutic tool to modify the neuronal activities in order to address the disorders associated with the nervous system. The most recent development in neuromodulation tools is optogenetics. Being a form of gene therapy, optogenetics combines genetic engineering with optics as stimulation as well as inhibition to observe and control the function of genetically targeted groups of cells with light, often in intact animals. © 2016 IETE.

Review of Neuromodulation Techniques and Technological Limitations

The status monitoring of the electrical power distribution network is an essential factor in the power grid environment to provide a quality and an uninterruptable power supply to the customers. With the development of smart grid, the IoT (Internet of Things) devices can extent its application in the fifield of power system network which helps to monitor and provide the information to the operators. One of the major drawbacks in the IoT devices is the requirement of uninterruptable battery supply for the IoT sensors and systems to function. This paper provides an efficient methodology to continuously power the IoT devices without energy crisis which in turn reduces the cost of the overall network. This paper mainly discuss about the major information required for preventing the power blackout of the electrical distribution network with the help of smartly powered IoT system. © 2016, Central Board of Irrigation and Power.

Smart powered IoT based disaster information system for electrical power distribution network

We propose to design and develop awireless based continuous health monitoring system for old age people and kindergarten children. The vital parameters such as body temperature, heart pulse rate data is transmitted and monitored through wireless sensor network(WSN). WSN consists of a large number of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional sensor nodes to monitor physical conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion, etc. A sensor network is composed of multiple sensor nodes that communicate with each other via a wireless network, and the data of each node are integrated. The objective of these applications is to ensure a continuous monitoring of vital parameters of temperature, Odour and Heart pulse rates while giving them the movement and thereby better quality of information. Theproject is designed to collect triple data(vital parameters) from base station which can then be viewed on a mobile phone/any other display unit in real-time. Mobile node has the ability of computing and communicating either among each other or directly communicating with sink node. Monitoring the datalogger to gather data over a long term period in order to establish a continuous link which can in turn be used as baseline information to detect a possible change in a mobile node. The base station was capable of receiving data from sensors wirelessly and forwarding the collected data to a GPS or user mobile phone. The transmission range obtained can be 800m-1km. © 2012 IEEE.

This paper is mainly focused on the optimization of the micromachined heater for gas sensing applications designed to withstand high-temperature. Different microheater geometries and dimensions have been investigated regarding their power consumption, temperature distribution over the sensing area and robustness when annealed at high temperature. The designed microheater withstood annealing temperatures of up to 700°C and moreover robustness of the silicon nitride membrane allowed the sensing area to be heated up to a high temperature 400-700°C. © 2010 IEEE.
