Intelligent home automation has become more popular over the decade. Integration of automation in a home security, enhances its self-dependability. An intelligent home, integrated with various smart system modules can provide convenient and safe environment for the inhabitants and home appliances which can be easily controlled and monitored even from a remote distance. In this paper an intelligent home automation and environmental solution is proposed along with the architecture of integrated sensor modules. This proposed system is embedded with electronic lock driven with password verification and biometric finger print scanner. This sensing tools ensure the system to prevent unauthorized access.  It is comprised with video recording of unauthorized person or intruder moving around the home or office premises. Moreover, PIR motion sensor, IR sensors would also work as safeguard by helping to capture image and Skype video calling from the inside of home or office. User will also be able to monitor the present condition of the home or office by using Facebook post of image and message status. The implemented system as a prototype for the justification and attestation of the proposals has been tested successfully. The observed data ensures that the system is working efficiently.

Android, an operating system developed by Google for smartphones, tablets and such type of touchscreen phones. Android app is a software running on Android platform. Typically an app is designed for specific purpose on Android platform such as smartphones and tablets. In this work a designing and implementing process of an Android based spy robot is described. An Android based application, RC Bluetooth controller is used to control in this spy robot. This robot can be controlled with the help an app of Android phones. Arduino based microcontroller is used for instruction processing and giving proper instructions. Bluetooth technology is used to interface between Arduino and Android. A hand for collecting and holding objects and a camera for live video steaming is used to observe any object & movement of robot. This robot can move to any place and perform smartly within Bluetooth network range.

This paper deals with the designing and implementation of microcontroller based security system to alert when unauthorized persons try to enter in a home. The first phase of security was implemented using a GSM module to send alert message (SMS). To make the system robust additional layers of security has been incorporated by including security devices such as android based door password, manual keyboard to open the door, PIR motion to detect unauthorized person in the home, rotating ultrasonic sensor by servo motor to active the camera to capture image and RF transceiver to produce voice signal to alert people outside the home. The system's main hardware was designed by Arduino based microcontroller ATmega328. Arduino ISP was used for system designing and Arduino serial monitor is used to test the GSM module. The implemented system was seen to perform well.

A dual band linear polarized micro-strip antenna is designed and simulated to obtain electronic circuit miniaturization of an antenna in high speed wireless local area networks (IEEE 802.11a standard). The proposed antenna contains a substrate layer (FR-4 lossy) with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and there is a circular patch on the upper layer of the substrate. The coaxial probe feed is used to excite the desired antenna which reduces the spurious radiation and hence obtained good efficiency. It is shown that using cavity model 20% excess bandwidth can be achieved while maintaining the lower size of the antenna. An 'E' shaped slot is introduced in the radiating patch to obtain dual band resonance frequency with maximum current distribution on the surface. Finally the simulated results using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) microwave studio 2009 in this design is compared with manual computation results which are found to be suitable for WLAN applications. 

Researches in the reduction of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) from orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) output signals are being done using many techniques. Selected mapping (SLM) technique is a distortion-less technique and is a well known method to reduce high PAPR of OFDM signal. One drawback of SLM is its requirement of side information bits to recover original data block at the receiver side which lead rate of data loss. In this paper, we have proposed a sequential phase sequence SLM (SPS-SLM) based OFDM transceiver without side information and studied its performance. For the proposed method, a specific set of phase sequences is designed. MATLAB simulation shows that the proposed scheme performs well in terms of PAPR. Proposed method provides almost the same PAPR reduction performance compared to the conventional SLM method requiring side information.
