3-Dimensional Virtual Authentication Techniquewith Chronological Scheduling[ ]


Authentication is a process of validating who are you to whom you claimed to be or a process of identifying an individual, usually based on a username and password. We have many authentication schemes but they have some drawbacks. So, 3-D password is introduced. The 3-D password is a multifactor authentication scheme. It combines all existing authentication schemes into a single 3-D virtual environment. This 3-D virtual environment contains several objects or items with which the user can interact. The type of interaction varies from one item toanother. The 3-D password is constructed by observing the actions and interactions of the user and by observing the sequences of such actions.

Education for the Blind – An Application of Computer Vision[ ]


Image recognition – renowned as computer vision – is the expertise of adopting and examining images, to produce quantitative and qualitative information. It is an approach of importing what is naturally reinforced in the human eyes and the brain into a computer’s processor. Text-to-speech is a technology that converts text into speech. In this paper, a new interactive learning tool which appends these two technologies is called forth. This tool, when reading a text using TTS software, senses an image, employs image recognition technique to materialize the image into text. This content is then converted to speech. The system undergoes various phases such as pre-processing, feature extraction, object recognition, edge detection, image segmentation and text-to-speech (TTS) conversion. An algorithm to convert graphical material to speech is incorporated along. The proposal is a modest endeavour to help in the education of the unsighted.

Embedded Based Security System[ ]


In this article, we have proposed our idea to develop the wrist watch as a safety device that can send alert signal to any police station in case of an emergency. We still have not yet reached a scenario where women could walk about with no worries in this industrial world, so without putting lives in danger , it is better to take precautions and ensure women safety by using this watch. By a simple press of a button and using the concepts of Biometrics and GPS, we have proposed this idea. The alert message consists of information regarding the current location of the victim, which enables the police officers to arrive at the scene and ensure her safety. Such an approach helps in saving womankind and thereby ensuring their safety.

Enhancing Security in Biometric System Using Blind Authentication Protocol[ ]


Biometric authentication system are used prevalently for its template security, retract ability and privacy. The Authentication process is reinforced by biometric cryptosystem. We propose a demonstrable secure and blind biometric authentication protocol which discloses only identity and not any other information to both client and server. To reduce the computational cost and enhance security we have used ElGamal. It is based on asymmetric encryption in which biometric authentication and security of public key cryptography is enhanced. Authentication protocol works on public network and provides template protection, ability to retract template protection and assuage the concern on privacy. In our approach the authentication in the encrypted domain does not affect the accuracy, while the encryption key bolsters security.

Money Generation By Utilizing Idle Time Of Computers Through Innovative Cloud Storage Outsourcing[ ]


Have you ever imagined that a computer at home or office can generate huge passive income despite being idle all the time? Computing powers are growing today enormously but its resources are not utilised to the fullest capability. We introduce a way that in which each and every computer in this world is used to its fullest capability but at the same time none of your day-to-day activities on the computer gets affected and also it generates huge income doing absolutely nothing extra. We propose the concept of cloud outsourcing for this i.e. we introduce a normal home/office user’s system into Infrastructure-as-a-Service(IaaS) layer of the cloud architecture and so the idle time of the computers can be now used to save the world through this innovative idea. This idea would lead the cloud storage capacity of the world by many folds and that too at a very affordable price.

Non-invasive Acetone Based Glucometer with insulin calculator and updation in cloudserver[ ]


The ultimate focus of this concept is to evaluate the blood glucose level of the patient in a non- invasive manner and to calculate the amount of insulin required and upload the same in the cloud server. Nowadays glucose level is calculated by pricking the blood from the patient’s finger which is quite invasive to some patients. In our method, the patient’s glucose level is calculated by the acetone sensor which is activated by the infrared sensor. The patient is asked to blow his breath towards the mouth piece/blower(focussing the sensor). From the acetone level the amount of blood glucose present is evaluated by the algorithm designed. This value in-turn is used for the calculation of the amount of insulin required. All these data that are interpreted are transmitted to the end device paired and the value is uploaded in the cloud server.

Using Twitter to predict Stock Market Returns (August 2015)[ ]


Twitter is an online social networking service that enables users to send and read short 140-character messages called "tweets". Twitter generates 8TB data per day! This huge dataset can be analyzed using data mining techniques to find interesting trends, combat crime, etc. It also proves to be an interesting source for predicting stock market trends using the emotions expressed by twitter users. Sentiment Analysis is a data mining technique which aims to determine the attitude of a speaker or a writer with respect to some topic. We know that people are easily attracted towards emotional contents, gossips, trends, fashion, etc. When it comes to social networking sites, people express their perspective and their opinions about the things they experience. Normally, if we are planning to go for a movie we see the reviews of that movie to check it will be worth to spend time watching the movie. Using the same principle, we can predict the future of an industry to predict gain or loss in stock market.

SMART MOBILITY STICK[ ]


The white cane, due to its primitive design, is unable to offer the blind and visually impaired a level of independence that is achievable with modern technology. The Smart walking stick looks to upgrade the white cane by increasing security and usability of the cane while ensuring an affordable price for an older and lower income demographic. This was done by including an GSM -GPS module to pin point the location of the blind person and to establish a two way communication path in a wireless fashion .Moreover, it provides the direction information as well as information to avoid obstacles based on ultrasonic sensor. A beeper, an accelerometer sensor and vibrator are also added to the system. The whole system is designed to be small, light and comfortable . Observations and basic testing confirm the effectiveness of the vibrations in the handle and the accuracy of the ultrasonic sensor up to 1.5 meters past the tip of the cane.
