Shuttlex DVD rental System ( Robotics ) Aug 2005 March 2006 ShuttleX, a Japan based company has come up with the concept of an automated DVD Rental system. Traditional DVD renting in Japan usually involves potential customers to first register with a DVD rental company and procures a membership, before being able to rent DVDs. Additionally, traditional DVD renting companies are forced to make extensive investments on real estate, staff & inventory management. The introduction of DVD rental kiosk system avoids these overheads. By automating many back office jobs centrally & installing the DVD rental kiosks in many locations, the maintenance costs are greatly reduced and the ubiquity of kiosks attracts more customers than the traditional retail based rental system. The ShuttleXDVD is an independent and self-contained consumer product. The product is a DVD Rental Vending Machine. It contains a Robotic Arm to handle the DVD Rack for picking and placing DVDs. Credit card authenticator and Barcode reader are also part of the hardware components. C# ( C-Sharp ) , Visual Studio 2005 3

Development of File System Filter for a Japanese Security Product for windows July 2004 July 2005 This project involves development of a kernel mode File system filter driver for windows which intercepts all the calls to the windows File system and checks with the help of a user mode service which allows or disallows file system operations Reading , writing, Renaming , Deleting , copying , moving ,etc. This File system Filter communicates with the user mode service with the help of an IPC called Shared memory. When ever a File system, related IRP comes to the Filter Driver, before sending the IRP down to the file system Driver the Filter copies the Files information like Name, IRP, Process etc into the shared memory and sets an event (Query Event), after making the query it waits on the Reply Event , Once the Service processes the event writes the reply back to the Shared memory and then it sets the Reply event. As the File system Filter driver was waiting the Reply event, it wakes up now and reads the responded access and allows or disallows accordingly. This File system filter driver adds security to the Windows File system so that every access to the file is checked for authentication before performing any operation on the file. This reduces the risk of unauthorized copy or , edit or moving of the file. IFS kit , Visual Source safe , Windbg , Visual Studio 6.0 ( VC++ SDK / MFC). Design and development & Project management

POWERSCOPE (Software for Process Control and Monitoring) POWERSCOPE is the latest generation Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Software (SCADA) that can run under WindowsNT/95 environments. It has been developed using the latest state-of-art Object Oriented Technologies. POWERSCOPE can support all types of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Single Loop Controllers (SLC), Remote Terminal Units (RTU), Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and 5

other types of Industrial Control Systems like Energy Meters and Digital Relays. POWERSCOPE is ideal for all types of Process Monitoring and Supervisory Control in the Industries like Cement, Steel, Sugar, Pulp & Paper, Food, Chemical, Petro-Chemical, Power, Fertilizer etc. Communication Engine : This Communication Engine can use the Serial Ports (COM1 and COM2) and collects the Process signals from the Target Systems. The signals acquired from the System are updated in the Process Database maintained by the POWERSCOPE. All other Threads use this database. Communication Engine acts as the interface between the Target Systems and other applications of POWERSCOPE. It maintains 4 Queues namely Output Queue, Fast Scan Queue, Special Scan Queue and Normal Scan Queue. This Engine permits scanning of signals at different cyclic timings. When the operator gives a Supervisory Control Command from the MMI or if the User defined Application Program is trying to change the output, the Communication Engine delivers the commands to the specified Target System. Based on the sampling Interval and type, the commands are placed in different Queues. Software Environment Role VC++ MFC Design & Development

User Program Interpreter for PowerScope The system library contains a set of Standard Function Elements each capable of doing a specific operation. By defining the Function Elements in a particular sequence, an Application program can be written by the user. This Program, whenever executed might send Supervisory Control Commands to the Target Systems or make necessary computations. This program can be made to execute Cyclically or whenever an Event Occurs. Supported Cyclicity is 100 mSec, 200 mSec, 500 mSec or 1000 mSec. Many numbers of Program Blocks can be defined in the system. For generating Sophisticated Reports, a separate Program Block can be defined which does the necessary calculations. Subroutines can also be defined in the system. For each Program Block, the user can define the size of the Data Table. VC++ MFC Design & Development

Display Element for PowerScope The Signals are shown in the GUI by using the Display Elements. The Display Elements permit a link to be established between process variables and the MMI. It helps to display one or more Properties of the signals graphically in the screen. It also permits the operator to select the element and have a dialog with the variable. Once selected, based on the type of the element, the system displays set of Property Dialog. 6

Whenever the status of the Process Variables connected to the Display Elements Change, the system indicates these changes graphically on the screen. Software Environment Role VC++ MFC Design & Development

Implementation of Dynamic Time Warping for Voice Recognition Sept 1997 March - 1998 This project is done to verify the similarity between two voices using the technique Dynamic Time Warping. In this technique, a set of digitized voice frames are stored and are kept as standards. Then a test voice frame is compared with the standard one. The emphasis given to a word may differ from one person to the other. So, the comparisons are not done directly. Instead, the voice frames are changed to different scale and then the comparison is made. If the comparison result is true, then the voices are identified to be similar. This project can be extended as a real-time voice recognition system as it has been implemented as a library. The applications can include security in LAN, identification etc..
