The main objective of this work is to design and construct a microcomputer
based system: to control electric appliances such as light, fan, heater,
washing machine, motor, TV, etc. The paper discusses two major approaches to
control home appliances. The first involves controlling home appliances using
timer option. The second approach is to control home appliances using voice
command. Moreover, it is also possible to control appliances using Graphical
User Interface. The parallel port is used to transfer data from computer to the
particular device to be controlled.
Wimax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a promising
technology which can offer high speed voice, video and data service up to the
customer end. The aim of this paper is the performance evaluation of an Wimax
system under different combinations of digital modulation (BPSK, QPSK, 4 QAM
and 16 QAM) and different communication channels AWGN and fading channels
(Rayleigh and Rician). And the Wimax system incorporates Reed Solomon (RS)
encoder with Convolutional encoder with half and two third rated codes in FEC
channel coding.
At present, the mostly used and developed mechanism is hardware
virtualization which provides a common platform to run multiple operating
systems and applications in independent partitions. More precisely, it is all
about resource virtualization as the term hardware virtualization is
emphasized. In this paper, the aim is to find out the advantages and
limitations of current virtualization techniques, analyze their cost and
performance and also depict which forthcoming hardware virtualization
techniques will able to provide efficient solutions for multiprocessor
operating systems.
