Identification of the denomination of the currency note to pay physically without UPI is the first step of paying to the seller by the consumer. In this project, we have proposed an approach to detect denominations of Indian currency using Convolutional Neural Networks. Computer Vision and object detection is an area of great interest for research in today’s world. It has several applications like detection of defects in machinery, intruder detection, computer vision for code and character recognition among many others. Through the work we have done, we explored something that could be of great help to people in day-to-day life. In this project we have tried to investigate the approaches to detect currency denominations using Convolutional Neural Networks. The objective is to build a model that would be able to detect Indian currency denominations efficiently. Typically the model will be useful for people with vision impairment. The experimental results show that the use of Convolutional Neural Networks is a good way and the model can further be improved if it is trained in such a way that it could also identify the regions of interest.

Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is gaining a mountainous attention because of its noteworthy impact on everyday life of the people. Billions of things are expected to be a part of IoT paradigm in the near future, providing enormous applications ranging from home automation, smart environment, health care, etc. One of the major hurdles for IoT to be effective with existing network architectures is a prolonged and seamless connectivity between the things and with the end user. Due to heterogeneity in the characteristics of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), it has become a most prominent technology to bind the things with the Internet and with the end users. Wireless Sensor Networks are self healing and active in nature, that is, they can sense, instruct, request, respond and can easily be adopted to Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN). Addressing scheme in Wireless Sensor networks has to be foreseen if it has to be deployed in Internet of Things paradigm. This paper proposes a discrete cluster based addressing scheme on IEEE 802.15.4 standard for all the things included in a Wireless Sensor Network based IoT applications. Results have been evaluated with existing IPv6 based addressing and it is found that cluster based addressing scheme on the traditionally used IEEE 802.15.4 communication channel suits well over the end to end IPv6 communication channel.

Acute bronchitis is inflammation of the main air passage to the lungs generally follows a viral respiratory infection. Children generally suffer from acute bronchitis at any stage. Fumes, dusts, decreased immunity, indigestion, viral infections are some causes due to which air passage get inflamed and irritated. Acute bronchitis is a clinical syndrome produced by inflammation of the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. In children, acute bronchitis usually occurs in association with viral respiratory tract infection. Acute bronchitis is rarely a primary bacterial infection in otherwise healthy children. In modern therapies using excessive expectorant, antihistaminics, and cough suppressants causes certain side effects and has no roll in rejuvenating the respiratory system. Unicough is a herbal remedy with the herbs which acts as a mucolytic and mild expectorant by its smoothening effect which helps in easy evacuation of cough and rejuvenate the respiratory passages. Current open labeled study on forty four children of acute bronchitis showed significant improvement after first and second week of the treatment in all associated symptoms which proves that Unicough syrup is a safe and effective remedy for acute bronchitis. 3 . Antibiotics are commonly prescribed, this type of therapy remains controversial, particularly since only half of all exacerbations are bacterial in origin, the rest being viral or chemical. Thus some believe that antibiotic therapy of acute exacerbation of bronchitis is an abuse of antibiotics, and can contribute to antimicrobial resistance 4 . The natural approach to treating bronchitis avoids creating new disease problems. It involves two goals: stimulating the normal processes that expel mucus, and stimulating the immune system to deal with viral infection. Expectorant herbs increase the fluidity and volume of phlegm, and stimulate cough. They are not cough suppressants, since cough suppression traps phlegm in the bronchi and lungs 5 . Unicough is a herbal remedy with Khaira Chhal (Acacia catechu),Vasakapatra (Adhatoda vasika), Vach (Acorus calamus), Elaichi (Elettaria cardamomum), Nagkeshar (Mesua ferrea), Talispatra (Abies webbina), Tulsi (Ocimum scantum), Dalchini (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Sounth (Zingiber officinale), Pippali (Piper longum), Kababchini (Piper cubeba), Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Somlata (Ephedra gerardiana), Dhatura panchang (Datura metel), Ajowan sat (Thymol), Pudina sat (Menthol). All these ingredients act as a smoothening, expectorant, bronchodilator and also improve the metabolism. This was an open labeled, non comparative study in the patients of acute bronchitis for the period of 15 days.

This paper presents the throughput results obtained from a Wireless Sensor Network testbed, with single and multiple sources in different network deployments and routing architectures. The experimental testbed deployed at IIT Madras consisted of commercially available Crossbow TelosB and MicaZ nodes and a custom-built sensor node based on the DigiNet Xbee chip, with all nodes implementing the Zigbee standard. The networks were deployed in uniform grid topologies in three different deployments with up to 228 nodes. The main aim of the experiments is to analyze the throughput and packet delivery ratio observed with single and multiple sources. The experimental results show that delivery ratio reduces with increase in data rate due to collisions and help characterise the network capacity limits.

Dynamic conferencing refers to a scenario wherein any subset of users in a universe of users form a conference for sharing confidential information among themselves. The key distribution (KD) problem in dynamic conferencing is to compute a shared secret key for such a dynamically formed conference. In literature, the KD schemes for dynamic conferencing either are computationally unscalable or require communication among users, which is undesirable. The extended symmetric polynomial based dynamic conferencing scheme (ESPDCS) is one such KD scheme which has a high computational complexity that is universe size dependent. In this paper we present an enhancement to the ESPDCS scheme to develop a KD scheme called universe-independent SPDCS (UI-SPDCS) such that its complexity is independent of the universe size. However, the UI-SPDCS scheme does not scale with the conference size. We propose a relatively scalable KD scheme termed as DH-SPDCS that uses the UI-SPDCS scheme and the tree-based group Diffie-Hellman (TGDH) key exchange protocol. The proposed DH-SPDCS scheme provides a configurable trade-off between computation and communication complexity of the scheme.

Purpose: Urinary stones have occupied a major place in the urological practices. It is one of the most common and painful urologic disorder of the urinary tract. Generally, the age between 20 to 40 years is more prone to it. As it has a high rate of recurrence, it is affecting economy and general health of the people Method: This study was a prospective, placebo controlled, double blind study. The study incorporated a matched pairs design. Each patient has received a single treatment of either the control or investigational product (UNEX). The goal was to enrol approximately 80 patients in order of having 60 patients (30 in each group) to complete the trial and provide data for analysis. Result: Total 72 patients were enrolled in the study, out of which 64 patients completed There was extremely significant results obtained in case of urine analysis of patients for infection, bacteriuria and haematuria, at the end of 6 months, value as compared to before treatment value the study, With the treatment with UNEX capsule, significant relief was observed in case of X ray KUB shows that renal calculi disappeared in 18 patients at the end of 6 months out of 32 patients, whereas USG of renal pelvis shows disappearance in 16 patients out of 32, which is extremely significant as compared to before treatment value where 32 patients showed presence of renal calculi. However, in placebo, only three patients out of 32 showed absence of renal calculi at the end of 6 months of treatment. Conclusion: Considering the excellent results of the clinical trial, it can be concluded that UNEX is effective in the treatment of Ureteric calculi, without producing any undesirable side effects. No clinically significant adverse reactions were reported or observed, the clinical trial of UNEX, an Ayurvedic preparation, has proved its efficacy and safety in upper ureteric calculi.
