Every time when fossil fuels burn they release carbon dioxide. Major part of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is taken by the automobile exhaust. In natural way the carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees. In current situation peoples are capturing carbon dioxide from exhaust pipes of large industries. But we know that the exhaust releasing from automobiles take part of 40-50% of total carbon dioxide in atmosphere. In India every year around 175 million vehicles get registered, and the number get increased year by year. Carbon soot collection from automobile exhaust does the job of collection carbon soot (in powdered form) from the exhaust outlet of vehicles. In this case truck and buses contribute large amount of carbon dioxide deposition. The carbon soot collector device is fitted at the end of the exhaust pipe, where it is fitted with clamps. After collection of soot from automobiles, this soot is then treated in lab with various chemicals and additives to create ink from soot. With the help of this we can reduce the pollution and reuse that pollution to create a usable ink or paints from it. There are some limitations while designing the collector device and in formation of ink with the application of this technique we have a better achievement point as well.

Optimal design of passive filter (combination of L, C & R) for grid connected inverter system is studied. For that, initially normal design is considered. Higher order passive filters are essential in meeting the interconnection standard requirement for grid-connected voltage source converters. The IEEE 1547-2008 specifications for high-frequency current ripple are used as a major constraint early in the design to ensure that all subsequent optimizations are still compliant with the standards. The choice of switching frequency for pulse width modulation single-phase inverters, such as those used in grid-connected photovoltaic application, is usually a trade-off between reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) and reducing the switching loss. The total inductance per unit of the passive filter is varied, and filter parameter (L, C & R) values which give the highest efficiency while simultaneously meeting the stringent standard requirements are identified. Then the conduction and switching losses that are caused by the filter are calculated and are optimized considering the level of reduction of harmonics. Hence the main aim of the study is to attenuate higher order harmonics along with the reduction in switching losses to ensure sinusoidal current injection into the grid. Further, the different switching schemes for single phase full bridge inverter are studied and compared to get the switching scheme which gives lesser switching losses. Proposed filter will be design for optimal inductance and capacitance values are obtained. Stability Analysis of Grid-Connected Inverters with proposed Filter Considering Grid Impedance expected more stable than available work. Simulation will be done on MATLAB SIMULINK environment for feasibility of the study in near future.

In various distributed systems a user should only be able to access information if a user possess a certain set of credentials or attributes. Recently, the only method for enforcing such policies is to employ a trusted server to store the data and mediate access control. However, if any server storing the information is compromised, then the confidentiality of the data will be compromised. In the paper we present a system for realizing complex access control on encrypted data that we call Cipher text-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE). The user key of encrypted data and make policies were used to describe previous Attribute Based Encryption systems; while in our system these characteristics are used to describe a users credentials, and a party encrypting data determines a policy for who can decrypt the data. In addition, we provide an implementation of our system and give better performance measurements.

The explosive growth of demands on big data processing imposes a heavy burden on computation, storage, and communication in data centers, which hence incurs considerable operational expenditure to data center providers. Therefore, cost minimization has become an emergent issue for the upcoming big data era. Different from conventional cloud services, one of the main features of big data services is the tight coupling between data and computation as computation tasks can be conducted only when the corresponding data is available. As a result, three factors, i.e., task assignment, data placement and data movement, deeply influence the operational expenditure of data centers. In this paper, we are motivated to study the cost minimization problem via a joint optimization of these three factors for big data services in geo-distributed data centers. To describe the task completion time with the consideration of both data transmission and computation, we propose a two-dimensional Markov chain and derive the average task completion time in closed-form. Furthermore, we model the problem as a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) and propose an efficient solution to linearize it. The high efficiency of our proposal is validated by extensive simulation based studies.

The Automated Vehicle Parking System had been conceived with the view to automate the manual workflows involved in the management of Vehicle Parking Lots. It drastically reduces the effort, inaccuracies, error-prone tendencies, delays and overheads involved in performing the same tasks by hand. It was aimed to provide a fully automated system that was capable of checking in and out of vehicles entering and exiting the designated parking lot, and recording relevant information about them. Revenue calculation and data entry is automated to the largest possible extent. Only minimum intervention from the manual user is required, with a possibility of eliminating it altogether with further advancement in the technology encompassed by the project, and supporting hardware. A rich and easy-to-use GUI aids the user in navigating the system easily and comprehensively. Features such as multiple searching and viewing options further add to the capabilities of the system and thereby also help in reducing the entry time. Transactions concurrency and their unambiguous nature have been carefully balanced and user sessions are purposefully managed. Direct implementation of the printing code helps the entry clerks as well as managers/administrators, to print the parking slips, reports and user information as and when required. With a marked difference in the types of users, and user privileges, the system provides a clear hierarchy and shields private data and administration details from those users, who are not permitted or concerned with them. A lot of data mining options have also been included, in the form of managerial reports. These provide an insight into the daily working subroutines of the system, such as the total revenue collection, employee sign in times, total vehicles parked in the lot, etc. on a Daily, Monthly, or Yearly basis. The most fundamental factor, that sets this system apart from others, is the fact that it is a real life application, designed with a specific target audience of India, taken into consideration. It makes no assumptions about the perfectionist implementation of the system, and also factors in human tendency. For instance, it was considered that the system would automatically allocate a parking slot to each vehicle. However, this was ruled out in view of the fact that human error or misdemeanor may lead to a vehicle owner parking elsewhere, rather than the designated spot, which would lead to utter chaos. Similarly, the revenue rates have been formulated keeping the standard manual parking rates in India in mind. However, these can be changed as per requirement as well.
