Report on Spain visit of Execom Member

The 2010 IEEE World Congress onComputational Intelligence (IEEEWCCI2010)is the largest technical event in the field ofcomputational intelligence. It hosted threeconferences: the 2010 International JointConference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2010),the 2010 IEEE International Conference onFuzzy systems (Fuzz-IEEE 2010), and the 2010

IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation(IEEE CEC 2010). 2010 IEEEWCCI wassponsored by the IEEE-CIS. It was held atCCIB Barcelona, a Mediterranean city locatedin a privileged position on the northern coast ofSpain, during July 18 – 23 2010.

The conference opened with the tutorialsession. It offered 28 tutorial sessions, 7workshops anlong with 5 plenary and 9 invitedlectures. The 6 days conference had 6 panelsessions, 291 presentations, 112 specialsessions and 4 poster presentations. In the IEEEWCCI 2010 conference nearly 2000 papers werepresented.

In the above conference of 2010 IEEEWCCI – CEC (IEEE – CIS) Dr. N Kumarappan,IEEE EXCOM Member, Educational Activity

Chair, Madras Section was invited to organizeand char a special session titled “NaturalComputation Applied to Power System”.

He also presented the following two papers

“Evaluation of Composite ReliabilityIndices Based on Non-Sequential MonteCarlo Simulation and particle SwarmOptimization”

“Particle Swarm Optimization BasedMaintenance Scheduling Using LevelizedRisk Method and Evaluation of Systemwell being Index”.

The congress was a great experience andit provided a simulating forum for scientists,engineers, educators and students from all overthe world to discuss and present their findingson computational intelligence.

Back when electricity costs were lower,easy eco-friendly initiatives weren’t a highpriority. Yet recent surveys have revealed thataround two-thirds of businesses now pay moreattention to energy efficiency than they did ayear ago. Some companies are motivated byrising energy prices; others have a commitmentto lowering their carbon footprint.

Here are eight easy ways to save energyat work – and at home. You’ll reduce yourelectricity bill, and also help the environment.

1. Unplug your appliances

Ever noticed that your mobile phone oriPAQ recharger is hot to touch even when it isnot in use? This is because it draws energy theentire time the device is plugged in. Studies haverevealed that up to a shocking 75 percent ofelectricity is used by devices that are “turnedoff”.

To prevent this, simply unplug devicesfrom the wall when you‘re not using them. Youmay notice a big difference in your bills.

2. Switch to power-saving settings

You don’t have to be an IT expert toimprove your Microsoft® Windows® PC’senergy efficiency.

Go to the “Start” button, then click on“Control Panel” and select the “Power Options”menu. Here you can cut your power usage bychanging settings from “idle” to “standby”.Now every time you take a break and leaveyour PC running, you will use up to 50 timesless electricity.

Green tips: 8 secrets to saving lots of powerTo save even more electricity, reduce the

time delay before your PC switches to a power-saving mode. See the “Power Options” menuto make this quick change.

3. Turn off your screen saver

Turn off your screen saver to save energy.Studies have revealed that monitors using ascreen saver eat up much more energy thanthose in standby mode.

4. Monitor options

Monitors draw a lot of electricity. Formaximum efficiency, choose an LCD monitorover a CRT model. Turning the brightness downalso helps to curb energy usage.

5. Switch off peripherals

Most computers have a lot of featuresand peripherals, not all of which are used on adaily basis. Save energy by unplugging ordisabling WiFi, Bluetooth, printers, scanners,external drives, card readers, webcams andspeakers when you’re not using them.

6. Backup during the day

Even more power can be spared if youschedule your computer’s data backup duringyour workday – perhaps during your lunchbreak. Doing this means that you won’t have toleave your computer on overnight, and you havean excuse to take a proper break during the day.

7. Buy energy-efficient products

These days ENERGY STAR officeequipment is easy to find and affordable to buy.

It provides you with dramatic power savings,as much as 90 percent for certain products.

HP designs its ENERGY STAR®products to provide high performance withlower energy usage. For example, new serverand workstation systems are designed tomaintain power efficiency while running high-throughput, data-intensive applications.

8. Complete the conservation cycle

When you’re finished with your hardwareor printing supplies, remember to recycle them.Check out HP’s trade-in, donate and recyclingoptions for your used computer or printinghardware, batteries and HP printing supplies.

And don’t forget, once you have disposedof your old equipment, you can purchase newenergy-efficient solutions.

Abstract: In battle field the soldiers haveto keep tracking their enemies for every instant.By this time they loose lives of a number ofsoldiers. Loss due to this can be eliminated bythis project in which we are using IMAGEPROCESSING TECHENOLOGY. Two shortguns are to be placed on soldiers’ body(shoulders) with a small camera present on thegun linked to a controller circuit withappropriate memory to store all the requiredphotos. During war time the camera picks upthe image and compares with those in thememory and if it doesn’t matches, immediatelyit shoots the person. The whole mechanism iscontrolled by the separate battery supplysystem and which can be recharged bypiezoelectronic crystal as and when requiredand which can also done by electronic powersupply also.

1. Introduction:

The automatic shooting gun serves as avital weapon during the warfare. It uses cameraand also, sensor which captures the image anddetects the presence of the opponent, which isthen compared with that of the stored photos,by means of the controller circuit and memorypresent and accordingly it decides to shoot theenemy or eels continue the monitoring further .

2. Techenology Used:

Here we are using image processingtechnology. Two small guns are going to beplaced (front &back) on the body of the armypeoples. Above the two guns a small camerawill be fixed. Going to a single memory deviceis fixed to it. Before fixing the memory devicewe want to upload all our army people & otherswhom we need to upload. Here we are usinghuman detecting sensors. This sensors willdetect weather the Obstacle is human or not. Ifit is a human it will pass the information to thecamera. The camera check the human face is inits memory. If the face is not stored means itwill automatically shoot him down deadotherwise if the face is in its memory it will notshoot them

Automatic shooting gun Sensor detection:

Sensor Range (Side View)

FLOW DIAGRAM:

This technology can also be reversed. Byuploading some person or things photo to shootthem down when the camera focused them. Ifwe upload some enemy photo during war timewhen they recognize by the cameraautomatically they will shoot them. Other thanperson, whose photos are not in memory theywill be in the safe side.

FLOW DIAGRAM:

2.1 Aiming: Here a laser light is alsofixed for accurate aiming it will shoot down theenemy. Bullets travel straightly along the pathof laser so it can accurately shoot the enemy intheir forehead.In the program itself we insistthat bullet should shoot the enemy in theirforehead only.

2.2 Camera: Now days in this advancetechnology we have lots of new camera which

can capture the imageduring night time whenthere is no light also. Sothere is no problem for facedetection.

The thermal cameraoption allows for night operation, in fog or anyother kind of poor visibility condition. You canplace this one almost anywhere and it just won’tbe found. Working on a 8 volt battery lastingabout 10 hours About 700 feet would be morerealistic in most situations.

2.3 Gun Structure:

This kind of gun will be placed in thesolider body. so that bullet can move as the

direction of laser. It will reach the target correctly.Bullets will be loaded around the gun. So thatwe can place lots of bullets inside / in the top acamera will be place for monitoring. Gun canmove according to the sensatio

3. Battery Charging:

Piezoelectronic material is attached alongwith the circuit. While the army people runningvibration is converted into electricity so thatbattery gets recharged. We can also change tonew battery if needed.

IEEE-MAS Link Volume : 7 Issue : 8 August 2010

4. Power Consumption:

CAMERA-8V MICRO CONTROLLER-5V MACHANISIM WOK FO PUSHING

BULLET-3V TOTAL POWE CONSUMTION-12V

The power for this project is totally 12Vonly so it can be easily recharge throughpiezoelectric Materials.

5. Application:

It is mainly used in defense sides It can place on the human body during

war time We can place the gun in the remote place

(or) most security place by hidingsomewhere

It is also hang around the army tendsduring night time security

It can also used to shoot the person whowhere kid napping some importantperson.

Flying gun can used in some purpose liketo attack terrorist who capture Mumbaitaj hotel.

It can send where army peoples aredifficult to enter and attack.

6. Advantages:

It is developed mainly for securitysystem.

Output will be accurate.

Other than human also we can use thegun for particulars task.

7. Conclusion:

Implementation of this project saves lotsof life and increase the security system. Itsoutput will be accurate. We can easily identitythe enemy.
