Need for power efficient designs for smart home & world


As the operating frequency has increased in VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) designs, engineers are required to prepare the designs to be more power saving as well, which is possible by the use of renewable energy resources and utilisation of natural energy sources in environment. This was explained by Dr SV Tokekar, Director of IET DAVV in his inaugural address at Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science on Monday.
He inaugurated a free six-day short term training programme on ‘Design and Development of System on chip-using low power VLSI’ for educators of different technical universities of MP and other states.
Around 100 participants from different part of the state have come for the training program and attended the session.
“Power consumption was neglected due to low device density and low operating frequency but now it important issue due to high device density, high operating frequency, demand of portable consumer electronics, concerns on environmental and energy sources,” Tokekar said.
He explained that the limited battery lifetime typically imposes very strict demands on the overall power consumption of the portable system. “The need for low-power design is also becoming a major issue in high-performance digital systems, such as microprocessors, digital signal processors (DSPs) and other applications,” Tokekar said.
Prof Dr Santosh Vishwakarma from IIT Indore explained the concept of smart home with the use of IOT in modern world of automation. “System on a chip (SoC) combines the required electronic circuits of various computer components onto a single, integrated chip (IC),” he said. 
SOC includes both the hardware and software, uses less power, has better performance, requires less space and is more reliable than multi-chip systems. “Most system-on-chips today come inside mobile devices like smart phones and tablets,” Vishwakarma said.
Prof Preet Jain gave expert talk on optimization techniques for low power design methodology on FPGA (field-programmable gate array).
Other experts from IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology), NITs (National Institutes of Technology) and Industries will also address the students and share their knowledge during the training program.

Jharneshwar Mahadev in Madhya Pradesh: a nature escape from urban jungle

Life is too short, unpredictable and an adventure if lived to the fullest. Learning the essential value of life and deciding to seek adventures in life, several groups are now connecting to nature and seeking spiritual growth. Leading a group of adventure seekers to less-known wonders of Indore, Gyandeep Srivastava, administrator of Rides of Riders group unravelled a new getaway. The group went on a long ride exploring the rural areas of the city. In their bid to seek adventure, the group came across an ancient temple ‘Jharneshwar Mahadev’ which dazzles visitors with nature, beauty and wonder. The temple is situated in Shajapur, about 230 kilometres from Indore. The waterfall of Bhadooh (Jharneshwar Mahadev), a famous tourist place falling under the Quartak Panchayat, about 30 km from Manasa in Neemuch district. After monsoons, the waterfall attracts tourists from all over state to witness the 100 feet high waterfall. There were 25 riders in the adventure trip including female rider I...

Before Pentecost, Christian community helps underprivileged families with ration

Prior to Pentecost, Christian community is following the lessons taught by Jesus Christ and helping those in need. In their drive to help underprivileged families, Christian volunteers forming a group are providing ration packets to them. Christian holiday of Pentecost, which is celebrated the 49th day (the seventh Sunday) after Easter Sunday, will be celebrated on May 31 this year. The holiday commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ. Under the drive, ration packets are given to 200 to 250 people on a regular basis. “Christ was the ultimate social worker. Not only could he find housing for people, or give them free food,” Ashutosh Joseph, a volunteer said. He cited that in the Bible, God's call to His followers to care for other human beings is clear (Philippians 2:4; 1 John 3:17-18; Proverbs 19:17 New International Version). “In fact, Jesus states that one of the most important commandments is ‘love your neighbour...

What are the precautions for prevention of corona virus? Special instructions for School Students

School Education Department issued an advisory to all the school heads and officers regarding precautions to be taken against the deadly novel coronavirus to prevent the spread of infection among school children. The advisory was sent out at the direction of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India with a photocopy of the letter attached. The department in its advisory stated that the world is fighting against the rapid spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). In India, too, the number of cases identified has increased in the last few days. As the school going children are also susceptible to infection and this is a crucial time for children given the end of the academic year and examination, it calls for immediate measures minimizing the effects of the epidemic. In the advisory, the department advised the schools to avoid any large gatherings of students during the course of the day in school. Any student or staff with travel history to any COVID-19 affected countr...
