Quotes of the Quarter Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense. -Gertrude Stein INFT i Prof. IchhanshuJaiswal Department :Information Technology Designation :Lecturer Educational Qualification :B.E. ,Information technology , ME** in Information technology Experience: 2.5 years Prof. Rohit Barve Department Technology : Information Designation : Lecturer Educational Qualification :B.E. ,Information technology , ME** in Information technology Experience : 1.5 years Longest Fibre-Optic Sensor Network Exists Developed for Remote Monitoring of Large Infrastructures This technological development in the field of remote communication has enabled new lines of research and a host of practical applications to be opened up. Of particular importance among them is the monitoring of intelligent or large infrastructures for which the sensor networks are of tremendous use. As Montserrat Fernandez points out, "With remote monitoring we can analyze a structure or large infrastructures like marine platforms from a central hub located tens or hundreds of kilometers from the infrastructure to which the sensors send the information without the need for any power source." This log enables measurements of structural or environmental parameters to be obtained, critical states to be observed, the correct maintenance to be provided and possible accidents to be prevented. Fibre-optics is a transmission medium routinely used in data networks. It consists of a very thin strand of glass or plastic material along which the light that represents the data transmitted is sent. The fibre-optic sensor is a device capable of detecting variations of a parameter thanks to the change that this produces in some of the features of the light. The sensing network comprises a group of sensors placed directly on or very close to the infrastructure that is to be evaluated. Challenges addressed The thesis "Contribution to the development of optical networks for fibre Optics sensors using fibre lasers" has been supervised by Professor Manuel López-Amo Sainz, of the Department of Electric and Electronic Engineering of the UPNA-Public University of Navarre; it took top honors and a cum laude distinction, with European Doctorate Mention. In her research, Montserrat Fernández addressed the three main challenges posed by optic sensor networks: multiplexing sensors in a single network, ensuring continued service in the event of a possible fault in the network, and allowing remote monitoring. In this work she also developed the longest network so far with a multiplexing capability which extends to 250 kilometers. Multiplexing allows the systems and their cost to be simplified. "With multiplexing," the researcher points out, "firstly, we share the same transmission medium to broadcast information coming from different sources, and secondly, we share the transmitter and the receiver." In the case of remote fibre-optic networks, it is the fibre itself that functions as the medium of transmission: the sensors send the information through it and all the information received is handled at the main hub. The principal applications of fibre-optic sensor networks are connected with cases in which the structure that needs to be monitored is economically very costly (oil pipelines, high voltage lines), when there is a risk of human loss (nuclear plants, chemical product warehouses, bridges, dams, etc.) or when a perimeter needs to be monitored. Secrets of Excellence Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your selfconfidence. -Robert Frost INFT ii Know an Alumnus How Stuff Works— How Brain-computer Interfaces Work by Ed Grabianowski Anupama Yeole(Batch of 2008-12) After having secured an admission through CET, I didn‟t have a clue how the college would be. But after completing 4 years of my engineering in this college I can surely vouch for its great faculty, culture and the enormous amount of knowledge it holds for every student. The extraordinary architecture of the college is surely one thing which distinguishes it from the other lot of colleges. It is the first thing that attracts the eye. I have been taught by the finest faculties at Vidyalankar and I credit my knowledge to these professors. The facilities available at VIT also helped me to pass these years smoothly like the library facility which hoards a large amount of books, reading hall which can be used for studying or writing assignments. Fests is the time of the year which helps us rejuvenate and brings in the zest needed to continue the year. Festivals like cultural , technical and literary are held in the college. Friday Pathshaalas held in the college also add to the fun and frolic as also the awesome memories of the time spent in college. In this work she also developed the longest network so far with a multiplexing capability which extends to 250 kilometers. Multiplexing allows the systems and their cost to be simplified. "With multiplexing," the researcher points out, "firstly, we share the same transmission medium to broadcast information coming from different sources, and secondly, we share the transmitter and the receiver." In the case of remote fibre-optic networks, it is the fibre itself that functions as the medium of transmission: the sensors send the information through it and all the information received is handled at the main hub. The principal applications of fibre-optic sensor networks are connected with cases in which the structure that needs to be monitored is economically very costly (oil pipelines, high voltage lines), when there is a risk of human loss (nuclear plants, chemical product warehouses, bridges, dams, etc.) or when a perimeter needs to be monitored. As the power of modern computers grows alongside our understanding of the human brain, we move ever closer to making some pretty spectacular science fiction into reality. Imagine transmitting signals directly to someone's brain that would allow them to see, hear or feel specific sensory inputs. Consider the potential to manipulate computers or machinery with nothing more than a thought. It isn't about convenience -- for severely disabled people, development of a braincomputer interface (BCI) could be the most important technological breakthrough in decades. In this article, we'll learn all about how BCIs work, their limitations and where they could be headed in the future. The Electric Brain The reason a BCI works at all is because of the way our brains function. Our brains are filled with neurons, individual nerve cells connected to one another by dendrites and axons. Every time we think, move, feel or member something, our neurons are at work. That work is carried out by small electric signals that zip from neuron to neuron as fast as 250 mph [source: Walker]. The signals are generated by differences in electric potential carried by ions on the membrane of each neuron. re- -Although the paths the signals take are insulated by something called myelin, some of the electric signal escapes. Scientists can detect those signals, interpret what they mean and use them to direct a device of some kind. It can also work the other way around. For example, researchers could figure out what signals are sent to the brain by the optic nerve when someone sees the color red. They could rig a camera that would send those exact signals into someone's brain whenever the camera saw red, allowing a blind person to "see" without eyes. Secrets of Success Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something. -Morihei Ueshiba In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. -Bill Cosby INFT iii Work Organizer: ITSA Where: VIT When: 21/08/2012 at 4.45 pm Seminar About: Gadget Guru on solid state device Organizer: ITSA Where: VIT When: 22/08/2012 at 4.45 pm Orientation About:Orientation on U.Engg Organizer: Mumbai Univ.
