Editorial column

Dear All,

On the eve of the Birthday of our respected Chairman, Kaka, what can be a more

suitable way to offer our regards to him, than by dedicating this editorial column

to him?

Hence, this editorial column is dedicated to our beloved Kaka, Chairman, VVP

Engineering College, Rajkot and veteran RSS leader. After joining this institute in

July 2005, I came to know about one of the best Engineering College… which is a

modern day ‘Gurukul’… in which students and staff are embedded with

humanitarian values. The trust runs on the motto “I dedicate everything to the

nation.”

The only man behind everything is “Shri Pravinbhai Maniar”. Because of him

the college is growing day by day to become one of the world’s top engineering

college. His dream is to produce world class professionals in the field of

engineering who can take challenges of material world and to be a center of

excellence by offering high quality engineering knowledge keeping pace with

changing technology and value based learning to contribute for betterment of the

society and nation.

As the Editor of e-bulletin, I would like to take you through a journey as how V.V.P

as shaped by Kaka is different from the rest. This is what makes our Kaka unique.

Engineering colleges are generally equipped with classrooms, laboratories,

workshop, library, auditorium, supported by the highly educated, well-experienced

faculty and staff. But VVP provides state of art facilities to the students which took

extreme care for the growth of the students.

e-Bulletin – EC Department VOL. 3, NO.2 - Quarterly – AUG 2014 5

He tries to inculcate a sense of humanity and responsibility in the students, by

encouraging their frequent visits and offerings services in old-age home,

orphanages, animal welfare sheds, gaushalas etc. along with their studies.

Therefore it is a modern Gurukul with a deeply enmeshed timeless tradition…the

‘sanskara’. He makes us learn about our larger role in the society by regularly

organizing blood donation camps.

He is running ‘ALL UP’ project where in the performance improvement of the

students is taken care individually by Personal Coaching System. To ensure

consistently better performance among students and to bring better results every

time, ALL-UP and ZERO ATKT scholarship is given to the students. This has

always put us on the top in the university results. All these make the VVP among

the world’s top engineering colleges.

Apart from result based scholarships, there are ‘admission based’ and ‘event

based’ scholarship also. He believes in making the students an ‘all rounder’. So he

motivates students for participating in national curricular and co-curricular

activities.

He has many schemes and offers for the well education of the students. He gives

laptops to the students at subsidized rate. Soft Loans (at lower bank interest levels)

and book bank facility are offered to the financially needy students. Our VVP is a

Wi-Fi campus with free Internet facility. It is a Zero Ragging Institute. He conducts

a transparent “Student-Management Meeting” twice a year for the development of

the students in which students can freely discuss their problems.

An accident insurance for the students and‘mediclaim’ insurance for the staff and

their family is borne by the college. Besides insuring the lives of the students, Kaka

has also very magnanimously covered for the life insurance of their parents as

well!

Various national and international level events are regularly organized to provide

a common platform to all students to share their views, knowledge and

achievements in the field of technology. All the staff and the students are

encouraged for technical writing, presentation, identification and promotion of

R&D activities at the individual as well as the institutional level. ISTE Chapter is

also setup to carry out promotional activities for the cause of education in general

and all its functioning pertaining to engineering.

e-Bulletin – EC Department VOL. 3, NO.2 - Quarterly – AUG 2014 6

VVP provides a platform to interface between the Industry and the Students. Free

of cost industrial tours are arranged by the college for all the students of all

branches of the college. Kaka takes an active interest in promoting student’s

employability by liaisoning the Campus Recruitment Program for placement of

students in various national and international sectors. He gives not only

assurance but commitment to make students life better and secured.

He takes a keen personal interest in the celebration of the Independence Day,

Republic Day and Swami Vivekananda Birthday every year. Orientation for first

year students, Praveshotsav, Ras-utsav, Diwali Gift Distribution are celebrated

every year with all gaiety. During all such occasions, guest lectures by eminent

personalities are organized: these go a long way in instilling a high sense of

morale and virtuousness among one and all. For the first time in my life, I have

heard about any college which offers a token of gratitude and respect for the

parents of all the staff of VVP by the Vadil-Vandana Function. This unique

function has drawn appreciation from all quarters.

The selfless goodness and good deeds of Kaka are endless. Like the limitless

Cosmos, the limitless good acts of Kaka have no boundaries…they are just too

many to be ever penned down ….even in an e-bulletin!

My heartfelt gratitude and sincere thanks to Kaka for giving me an opportunity

to grow up even more in this institute.

All the staff of VVP cherishes the birthday greetings that Kaka gives them

without a fail, in spite of this busy schedule, every year! Hence, I would

definitely wish that we all continue to remain this fortunate… not just for this

year… but several more years to come. Hence we all pray to the almighty to give

Kaka the best of health and happiness so that we can be blessed with his

visionary guidance to propel VVP into the zenith of success. Long live

Kaka…long live his ideas…long lives his idealism of Rastray Swaha idam N

mam !

Wish you a very Happy Birthday, dear Kaka!

Staff Corner P-Cell (Personal cell) Wireless Networking

- Prof. Jayesh Chauhan (Lecturer ,EC Dept)

If you could make your mobile network completely ubiquitous and 1000

times faster? Imagine if you never searched for a network signal, but it followed

you everywhere. That’s the potential impact of P-Cell technology, which will be

ready for large-scale commercial deployment shortly.

Latest reports suggest that wireless data traffic growth will hit an all-time

high of 1250% by the end of 2014. The demand for data is expected to multiply by

a factor of 25 by 2020. As a result, cellular operators could soon be struggling to

provide reliable services to subscribers. But now, this could be facilitated through

‘pCell’ or ‘personal cell’ technology—a revolutionary solution for clogged cellular

networks and connectivity woes. In contrast to traditional cellular sites, this

technology is equipped to take advantage of interference and create a network that

delivers unbelievable data speeds, provides a reliable connection to subscribers,

and transforms the way we communicate.

In cellular networks, a tower

transmits a radio signal creating a cell,

which has to avoid any interference with

other cells. Cell tower capacity is shared

among mobile devices, taking turns to

avoid interfering with one another. With

the growing number of devices and

increased data demands, cell service can

degrade, even with technologies

like MIMO. Which are tricks to squeeze

the most capacity out of limited spectrum.

pCells work on DIDO (Distributed-Input-Distributed-Output) technology—a

concept that promises a personal cellular network for each phone, but without a

great number of antennas. Here, pCell’s radios work in concert to focus signals on

individual phones. Five bars everywhere and no dead zones! But perhaps even

more importantly, pCell ensures that today’s phones work as you expect them to—

that calls aren’t dropped or texts delayed, and that one can still use a network when

thousands of people are on it at the same time.

e-Bulletin – EC Department VOL. 3, NO.2 - Quarterly – AUG 2014 18

Since the advent of wireless, it’s the coverage area that has defined the

quality of cellular networks. But now, the coverage area will follow the consumer.

In fact pCell gives each phone a tiny ‘signal bubble’ around it that goes

everywhere with the phone. This ‘personal bubble’ provides each user with as

much network bandwidth as they need and doesn’t require them to share it with

anyone else.

In addition, pCell-enabled devices use less power than Wi-Fi chips built into

handheld devices. pWave radios use a 1-milliwatt transmitter to deliver data,

compared to 250 milliwatts used by most Wi-Fi radios and even larger amounts of

power used by cellular towers. pCell also brings a significant reduction to the

infrastructure needed to power a cell network. Unlike cell towers, which need

massive fiber infrastructure to provide sufficient bandwidth for all their users,

pCell technology can be deployed more cost efficiently. Also, instead of using

expensive hardware for signal processing, a pCell depends on software to achieve

the same results.

pCell exploits this interference, combining transmitted signals from multiple

pCell base stations (or pWave, pictured above) to create "personal cells," or pCells,

of wireless energy around each mobile device. So, rather than hundreds of users

taking turns sharing the capacity of one large cell, each user gets an unshared

pCell, giving the full wireless capacity to each user at once

pCell is compatible with standard, unmodified, out-of-the box LTE devices,

like the iPhone 5s and 5c, Samsung Galaxy S4, LTE dongles, and WiFi devices.

The technology enables a standard LTE device to run at full speed throughout

pCell coverage areas; wherever the system is not deployed, the device will default

to conventional cellular coverage

This revolutionary technology still has to reach the consumer market. It is

expected to be deployed in all major markets in the US, Asia, and Europe by the

end of 2015

Cell P-Cell

Conventional cell towers transmit signals that

carefully avoid interfering with each other,

creating large cells, 50m to 5km in size.

All mobile devices, perhaps thousands, share a

cell, each getting a fraction of the spectrum capacity.

Each shared by many devices.

Cell service is okay when there are few users

Cell service slows to a crawl when there are

many users.

Overwhelmed when there are many users.

pWave radios transmit signals that deliberately

interfere with each other, combining to

synthesize tiny pCells, each just one cm in size.

Every mobile device has its own pCell, a

"Personal Cell," each getting the full spectrum capacity

One per device. Not shared.

pCell service is full speed no matter how many

users.

pCell service is full speed even with many users

Tiny bubbles of mobile service, always full

speed, no matter how many people are around you

Sri Aurobindo (Sri Ôrobindo) (15 August 1872 – 5 December 1950)

Shri Aurobindo Ghose, was an Indian nationalist, philosopher, yogi, guru, and poet.[2][3] He joined the Indian movement for independence from British rule, for a while became one of its influential leaders and then became a spiritual reformer, introducing his visions on human progress and spiritual evolution.[4]

Aurobindo studied for the Indian Civil Service at King's College, Cambridge, England. After returning to India he took up various civil service works under the Maharaja of the princely state of Baroda and began to involve himself in politics. During his stay in the jail he had mystical and spiritual experiences, after which he moved to Pondicherry, leaving politics for spiritual work.

During his stay in Pondicherry, Aurobindo developed a method of spiritual practice, which he called Integral Yoga. The central theme of his vision was the evolution of human life into a life divine. In 1926, with the help of his spiritual collaborator, Mirra Alfassa ("The Mother"), he founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. He died on 5 December 1950 in Pondicherry.

His main literary works are The Life Divine, which deals with theoretical aspects of Integral Yoga; Synthesis of Yoga, which deals with practical guidance to Integral Yoga; and Savitri, an epic poem which refers to a passage in the Mahabharata, where its characters actualise integral yoga in their lives. His works also include philosophy, poetry, translations and commentaries on the Vedas, Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.

The one aim of [my] yoga is an inner self-development by which each one who follows it can

in time discover the One Self in all and evolves a higher consciousness than the mental, a

spiritual and supramental consciousness which will transform and divinize human nature.
