    radiation in India is about 5.2 to 6.5 kWhper square meter per day. There is ampleland and roofs are available in India for

    solar park. State Government and centerGovernment is taking initiative steps totake advantage of solar energy. . As solar

    panels increase in efficiency, more andmore applications will begin to use themas either a primary power source or as abackup power source. For applicationswhere the ambient light is continually

    changing, the Maximum Power SolarConverter can be a very effective tool inincreasing the total power delivered bythe solar panel. Implementation of suchmaximum power solar converter is dis-cussed here. Solar panels are an array of

    solar cells. Cells are connected in series-parallel combinations of various archi-tectures to scale up voltage and currentrequirements. Solar panel comes in dif-

    ferent shape and size. To get the solarpanel to operate at its maximum powerpoint, there are a few items needed. First,

    in order to know the output power of thesolar panel, both the current and voltageof the solar panel have to be monitored.This will be accomplished by a high sidecurrent monitor and simple resistor di-vider on the solar panels output voltage.

    There also needs to be a way to controlthe output power of the solar panel. Thisis done by manipulating the panels out-

    put current. And lastly, a software algo-rithm is needed to know which way tomanipulate the current (e.g., whether the

    Minor projects related to Implementation of Green

    technologies. - Dr. C. H. Vithalani (HOD Electro. & Comm. Dept.)current out of the solar panel should beincreased or decreased).A solar panel

    generates maximum voltage in two cases:[1] When there is full sunlight on it and[2] When there is no load connectedacross it. Output voltage of solar paneldecreases as sunlight reduces or currentis drawn out of it to drive load or tocharge battery. We will get maximumefficiency of solar panel, if we operate itat knee point of I-V characteristics. Prob-lem is that knee point is not fix, knee

    point changes as intensity of sunlightchanges. Knee point also changes whenthere is temperature variation on solar

    panel. Thus, we require some dynamiccircuit which monitors voltage and cur-rent continuously to find out knee pointand operates solar panel at knee point.We can implement circuit with help of

    PIC16F690 microcontroller to monitorknee point and take power from solar

    panel according to knee point. BasicCkt Diagram & B/D with PIC16F690:

    We know that we are exploiting earthsresources to feed our daily needs and to

    feed hungry devices like Automobiles, Airconditioners, Lighting, Industry plants,Computers etc. We have damaged envi-ronment to satisfy our needs and due tothat temperature rise, glaciers melted,

    fertile land is becoming parched, andwind direction changed and schedule of

    seasons becomes irregular. We alwayscomplain about ourselves whenever wemeet at some conference, meetings re-lated to Green technologies though at themeeting place itself all these resourcesare being used. We must admit that wecannot live without all these resources sowe have to find out some alternative waysto solve the problems. In this article, im-

    plementation of Green Technologies us-ing minor projects is discussed. Final

    year and pre-final year students are ad-vised to think in this directionIncreasing efficiency of solar panel

    Smart shoes vibrate you in the right directionusing Google Maps - Aishwarya Jayadas (EC 3rd)

    Le-chal shoes and insoles work with Google Maps on yourphone to buzz your feet when it's time to turn.Indian wearable tech startup Ducere Tech has created smart shoes called Le-chal that can give the wearerdirections without needing to look at a smartphone. Le-chal means "take me there" in Hindi.

    Krispian Lawrence and Anirudh Sharma developed the device primarily as an improvement to thewalking and navigation aids currently available to the blind.

    When you're out running, walk- ing, or biking, it's inconvenientand potentially hazardous to keep your eyes glued to the map

    on your phone. Imagine if your shoes told you which way to gowithout you ever having to take your eyes off the road or side-

    walk. That's the idea behind the Le-chal smart shoes and insoles

    from Ducere Technologies.The shoes sync over Blue- tooth to an app that pulls yourpath from Google Maps. The shoes buzz to tell you which direc-

    tion to turn. A buzzing right shoe means to hang a right. A buzzing left shoe means to go the other way.The shoes were originally designed to help people with visual impairments navigate more effectively, but

    the company's founders soon realized there could be a much wider market.Potential uses for the Lechal go beyond just getting somewhere. They can also be used to send prox-

    imity alerts to phones, notifying tourists of interesting landmarks nearby. The footwear will alert youshould you accidentally try to leave your phone behind so you don't get stuck out in the middle of nowhere.

    The shoes also aspire to work as a wearable fitness monitor, tracking steps and calories burned.

    Today, synchronous processors consist of hundreds of millions of tran-sistors and reach clock rates up to several GHz. the high clock ratesimply that several millions transistors switch several billion times a

    second, means up to 40% of power consumption is spent in the clock generation, the drivers. the asynchro-nous microprocessor. Asynchronous are different from synchronous processor is the designing technique of

    synchronizing the sequential elements among each other .communication between several parts of theprocessor can be self-timed and since the asynchronous microprocessor do not have central clock, there is

    no need to adjust operational speed of each part & each part can operate at its maximum speed withoutaffecting the other components. For example ALU can execute an add operation in half time of a multipli-

    cation. In synchronous processor ,the clock cycle has to be at least as long as slowest operation even ii thisoperation is rather rare . In synchronous processors the system is slowed down only if this rare operation

    occurs otherwise it operates faster.

    FYI, asynchronous processor have some specific advantages like up to four times higher energy efficiencythan synchronous elements ,which makes them useful in niche areas like smartcards where low power areimportant .in future may be asynchronous processor may also benefit from techniques developed for asyn-

    chronous processors ,like lowering supply voltage & thats easy to implement in asynchronous design.

    Whatisadad?

    A dad is someone who

    wants to catch you before you grow up,brushes you off,and let you try again.

    A dad is someone whowants to keep you from making mistakesbut instead lets you find your own way,even through his heart breaks in silence

    when you get hurt.

    A dad is someone who

    holds you when you cry,scolds you when you breaks rules,shines with pride when you succeed

    and has faith in you even when you fail

    Connectivity betweenworlds two largest and

    unsolved question..!!

    -RAMANUJ BHAVESH (EC 5thA)

    There are two questions in world which are notsolved till now first one is the birth of galaxy andsecond is the birth of human being. In India, in the

    sight of religion soul has a great importance ac-

    cording to religion The soul is a one form of

    god. Which is not seen, formless, and colorless

    from which it came and gone no one knows butsoul is transfer from one body to another body. Re-

    born and before born are scientifically proved.

    In present time scientist are capable to

    make blood using stem cell. But most important

    thing is soul ,without soul our body is meaningless.

    Soul is working as a battery. As electronic item does not work without battery as same our body will not work withoutsoul. What is soul? Till now scientist could not found. In sight of religion the soul is one type of energy which is created

    by god. If we found the secret of soul (Energy), we found the secret of human being.Other important question is the birth of galaxy .Galaxy is group of stars , planets , satellite and other space ele-

    ments which are internally connected by gravitational force. According to law of thermodynamics energy is neither be

    create or nor be destroy but it can transfer from one form to another form . At present scientists found HIGS BOSONwhich is the smallest particle, it is also called god particle.God particle are responsible for the birth of earth. From Einstein equation E= mc^2 HIGS BOSON is the

    smallest particle in mass. We can take m= HIGS BOSON. That means energy is related to this particle and we discussed

    above that soul is one type of energy that is colorless , formless , and neither created nor destroy. Energy and soul both

    have same characteristic. According to the scientists god particle is responsible for the birth of earth and accordinglythey are also responsible for the birth of galaxy because earth is one part of galaxy.

    If we find the solution of these two questions, first we consider science and religion together because scienceand religion are two sides of coin.

    According to religion In every micro particle god are present and according to the science god particle

    are responsible for the birth of earth.

    Google Glass

    Google Glass is a type of wearable

    technology with an optical head-

    mounted display (OHMD). It was de-

    veloped by Googlewith the mission of

    producing a mass-market ubiquitous

    computer.Google Glass displays infor-

    mation in a smartphone-like hands-freeformat. Wearers communicate with the

    Internet via natural language voice

    commands. Google started selling

    Google Glass in the US on April 15,

    2014 for a limited period for

    $1500, before it became available to

    the public on May 15, 2014 for the

    same price. Before that users were re-

    quired to receive invitations before

    they could try Google Glass. Google

    provides four prescription frame

    choices for $225.00 U.S and free with

    the purchase of any new Glass unit.

    It is necessary to remove a small

    screw in order to move the Google

    Glass from one frame to another.

    Google entered in a partnership with

    t h e I t a l i a n e y e w e a r c o m -

    pany Luxottica, owners of the Ray-

    Ban, Oakley, and other brands, tooffer additional frame designs.

    Features :

    Loc Le Meur controls Google Glass

    using the touchpad built into the side

    of the device.

    Touchpad: A touchpad is located on

    the side of Google Glass, allowing

    users to control the device by swiping

    through a timeline-like interface dis-

    played on the screen. Sliding back-

    ward shows current events, such as

    weather, and sliding forward shows

    past events, such as phone calls, pho-

    tos, circle updates,etc.

    Camera: Google Glass has the abil-

    ity to take photos and record 720p

    HD video.

    Display: The Explorer version of

    Google Glass uses a Liquid Crystal

    on Silicon (LCoS), field-sequential

    color, LED illuminated display. The

    display's LED illumination is first P-

    polarized and then shines through

    the in-coupling polarizing beam

    splitter (PBS) to the LCoS panel. The

    panel reflects the light and alters it

    to S-polarization at active pixel sites.

    The in-coupling PBS then reflects the

    S-polarized areas of light at 45

    through the out-coupling beam split-

    ter to a collimating reflector at the

    other end. Finally, the out-coupling

    beam splitter (which is a partially

    reflecting mirror, not a polarizing

    beam splitter) reflects the collimated

    light another 45 and into the

    wearer's eye.
