Formulation and Evaluation of Floating Sustained Release In Situ Gel as Carrier for Stomach Specific Drug Delivery of Alfuzosin
In-situ forming polymeric formulations drug delivery systems is in sol form before administration in the body, but once administered, undergoes gelation in-situ to form a gel, from which drug gets released in sustained and controlled manner. The formulation of gel depends upon factors like temperature modulation, pH changes, presence of ions and ultra-violet irradiation. The objective of this study was to develop a novel in- situ gel system for sustained drug delivery of Alfuzocin using natural biodegradable polymers. The system utilizes polymers that exhibit sol-to-gel phase transition due to change in specific physico-chemical parameters. In-situ gel was formed at a biological pH. Gellan gum used as a polymer and CaCO3 was used as a cross-linking agent. In vitro release studies were conducted in 0.1 N HCl and cumulative amount of drug release was analyzed by spectrophotometry. From designed set of experiments, it was evident that formulation containing Gellan gum control the release of drug for longer duration. The in-situ gel exhibited the expected viscosity, drug content, pH, in vitro gelling capacity, in vitro floating ability and sustained drug release. The stability studies were carried out for 3 month.

Vector Control of PMSM Using Power Electronic Controllers
This paper describes a sensorless field oriented control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using rotor position tracking proportional-integral (PI) controller. With the advent of vector control methods, Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) can be operated like separately excited dc motor for the high-performance application. This technique can be applied to low and high-speed operations. In this method a loop recovery technique is applied, to boost the bandwidth of PI controller. The design, analysis, simulation of the sensorless method is done using MATLAB R2011a.

Survey on E-Healthcare for Rural Women
The most significant period for a woman in her life is the pregnancy and delivery time. Especially in rural areas of India, there are many cases of maternal and baby mortality. These are mainly due to the lack of proper care and attention given to the pregnant woman during their pregnancy period. The women in urban areas have more facilities for their periodic health check up in sophisticated hospitals. Using many electronic devices they can schedule their health check up and vaccination dates. They can easily clarify their doubts during pre delivery and post delivery period through internet. n rural areas these opportunities are rare for the pregnant ladies. Even if it is available, they will not be comfortable in using them because of lack of knowledge in them. Hence, an idea has been proposed to periodically guide the pregnant ladies through SMS, voice messages and personalized advice and tips in their native language by collecting data from the history of each individual patients. They can access their entire check up history along with doctor’s name and contact. The process for digitalizing medicinal information into e Prescription format is done, hence it is easy to maintain a detailed and digitalized record for future treatment purposes.

Emergency Vehicle Monitoring System
Emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire fighting vehicles and police force vehicles are required to reach their destination as quickly as possible. One of the most important delays is the time that is consumed in intersections with these traffic lights, especially when their intersections are highly congested. In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of an automatic pre-emption traffic control system that ensures to give preferences to all the emergency vehicles.It is significant to identify the density of traffic on real time mainly in metropolitan cities for signal control. This system is capable to sense the density of vehicles for intelligent traffic management and this will prioritize the emergency vehicle among other vehicles and provide a better route and time management using the database collected. Traffic light posts positioned at the traffic junction set the lights to green for specific period of time which will help the emergency vehicle to move free without getting stuck at any congestion. The proposed system will have RFID readers at the traffic junctions that will read all the RFID tags attached to the vehicles coming towards the junction.

Perlustration on Techno Level Classification of Location Based Services
All over the world more than half of the people are coming out for shopping. Though shopping is one of the basic needs of the people, they don’t show much importance to it due to lack of activeness and high cost. Most of the people think that all costly products are quality products and run towards Shopping Malls. However, all costly products are not quality products and all cheap products are not low in quality. Nowadays most of the online shopping is not reliable and fake products are also sold via online. In this paper, we developed a commodity search system that can search and filter the nearby shops which sell the desired products based on the customers budget. This task is performed using Nearest Neighbour Search and Branch & Bound Algorithm. The Nearest Neighbour Search is used to search the best route, Whereas Branch and Bound Algorithm is used to select the customers budget. Detailed information of related product and shops are displayed in the result, together with a navigation map showing the best route to the target shops. If the desired product is not available nearby, substitutes in the same category will be recommended for the users.

Improving Baggage Tracking, Security and Customer Services
The project titled as “Baggage Tracking” is developed to solve problems faced by the passengers while travelling i.e. to immediately report about any mis-happen to the Government Railway Police at Railway Stations to get an instant remedy or solution to get over to the worst situation and to solve the problem as quick as possible with ease. So, this project is made by keeping these points in center; i.e. to eases the system of reporting the problems instantly for the people who suffer by using a user-friendly GUI, to make it easy for the concerned authority to provide the optimistic solution quickly to the concerned user
