In advanced world the innovative medical advancements plays vital role to provide the solution for many biological problems. In most of the hospitals the patient monitoring system is done in manual process. Generally, it required the time consuming process to maintain the database. In case of anesthesia, measurement of bio-medical parameters such as heart rate, glucose level, and body temperature is very important to monitor at normal and abnormal cases. Either doctor or nurse must always be there to monitor present condition of the patient. Conventional method patient care systems are not reliable. On the other hand most of the automated systems are only concentrating on monitoring systems. The proposed system provides a solution by developing a real time module to monitor and maintain the patient database effectively. This system provides the individual login for doctor and nurse. Bio sensors send patient status to UTLP kit through wireless network to monitor continuously. This is achieved by means of Unified Technology Learning Platform (UTLP) which is connected with Wide Area Network (WAN). Thus the patient care system can be made automatic and patient condition can be monitored from anywhere in the hospital. Buzzer indication will be given during abnormal condition. This will reduce time consumption, manual work, risk factor, and other inconveniences exist in the conventional systems.

Software security involves internal weakness and external attacks. The external threat often breaks a software system by exploiting its internal weakness or vulnerabilities. As a result, they can affect the violation and breakdown of security. Security architecture must be designed to cater the needs of product security goals and sensitive information. To keep the sensitive information confidential, special attention need be given at designing phase. An object oriented approach naturally lends itself to an early assessment and evaluation. To check the security of design author has proposed SMOOD model which is based on the relationship between design properties such as encapsulation, inheritance, complexity, abstraction, cohesion, coupling and polymorphism with security attributes like confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA). In this paper, the proposed model is validating using empirical validation reported by Fenton. We have used five open source projects with multiple versions to test the SMOOD model and discussed the results.

this paper proposes a new hybrid approach to estimate the cardiac cycle phases in 2-D echo-cardiographic images as a first step in cardiac volume estimation. The cardiac cycle phase identification has done by making out the anatomical information of the heart with the dataset of both the normal and infant cardiac images of the heart. These dataset here helps in extracting the information about the given image and also differentiates them under the two categories either the heart left ventricle is in the diastolic state or systole state. For identifying this state the mitral valve position of the heart is considered. In the first step, the noise in the image was removed using the median filter and wavelet transforms for the canny edge detection as the second step. In third step, feature extraction, mean and the standard deviation value for the dataset images were calculated. To classify the two states of the heart, the feed forward back propagation neural network was used in the fourth scenario. By training the neural network, the images of the heart were classified into diastole and systole and could be measured in both the manner and compared.

The current financial crisis faced all over the world has posed tremendous challenges on the manufacturing organisations. Even at low volumes, and large variety, they have to be competitive with minimum investment. Low-cost automation can play an important role in this situation. Material handling and logistics are expensive operations which comprise of 10% to 80% of product cost and this tends to rise for inexpensive products. It is always advisable to minimize or if possible eliminate operator’s involvement in transferring materials. This work is aimed at developing a simple, compact and robust material handling equipment that would suit almost any short distance material transfer task and create some degree of automation around the existing equipment and tools. Such a system would eliminate the need of power conveyors, chutes or roller conveyors that need operator attention and picking of jobs by hand to transfer it between two stations. The system would be of great use in manufacturing lines having u type or zigzag type layouts where human handling of jobs is presently unavoidable, as use of powered conveyors or gravity conveyors cause interruption in line operations. For design of parts detail design is done and dimensions thus obtained are compared to next highest dimension which are readily available in market. This simplifies the assembly as well as post production servicing work.

This paper is about of how Hadoop can control its network resources to improve performance using OpenFlow. . OpenFlow is a very popular example of software-defined network technology. Our study will explore the use of OpenFlow to provide better link bandwidth for shuffle traffic and decrease the time which Reducers have to wait to gather data from the Mappers. Hadoop's distributed compute framework which is called as MapReduce, exploits the distributed storage architecture for Hadoop's distributed file system which will deliver a reliable parallel processing services for arbitrary algorithms. The shuffle phase of Hadoop's MapReduce are the computation involves movement of intermediate data from the Mappers to Reducers. Reducers often are delayed due to inadequate bandwidth between them and thereby lower the performance of the cluster. Our experiments shows the decrease of execution time for a Hadoop job and when the shuffle traffic can be used for more of the available bandwidth on a link. Our approach illustrates how high performance of the computing applications can improve performance by controlling their underlying network resources. The work presented in the paper is for a starting point for some experiments being done as part of SC12 SCinet Research Sandbox which will be quantified the performance advantages of different versions of Hadoop that uses OpenFlow to dynamically adjust the network of local and wide area Hadoop clusters.
