Application Fields

Programmable Integrated Photonics (PIP) is a new paradigm that aims at designing common integrated optical hardware configurations, which by suitable programming can implement a variety of functionalities that, in turn, can be exploited as basic operations in many application fields. Programmability enables by means of external control signals both chip reconfiguration for multifunction operation as well as chip stabilization against non-ideal operation due to fluctuations in environmental conditions and fabrication errors. Programming also allows activating parts of the chip, which are not essential for the implementation of a given functionality but can be of help in reducing noise levels through the diversion of undesired reflections. After some years where the Application Specific Photonic Integrated Circuit (ASPIC) paradigm has completely dominated the field of integrated optics, there is an increasing interest in PIP justified by the surge of a number of emerging applications that are and will be calling for true flexibility, reconfigurability as well as low-cost, compact and low-power consuming devices. This book aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to this emergent field covering aspects that range from the basic aspects of technologies and building photonic component blocks to the design alternatives and principles of complex programmable photonics circuits, their limiting factors, techniques for characterization and performance monitoring/control and their salient applications both in the classical as well as in the quantum information fields. The book concentrates and focuses mainly on the distinctive features of programmable photonics as compared to more traditional ASPIC approaches.

Solar energy is a renewable and inexhaustible source, besidescausing damage to nature, being clean and sustainable.Transform the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Sunelectrical energy are used solar panels. In order to improveefficiency and performance of this capture, a low-cost wasbuilt, a single-axis solar tracking system for photovoltaicpanels. The solution uses the automation Arduino UNO R3,open hardware, two photosensitive sensors LDR GL-5528, inaddition to a servo motor capable of moving the surface of aphotovoltaic plate according to the detection of the highestincidence of light. The circuit and its components wereprogrammed using the Arduino IDE software, version 1.8.11.As a result, it was possible to follow the movement of thesun, differing from a static panel, thus ensuring greater sunshineon the solar plate, as a result of this traceablecontrol prototype.

Annual Weeds

Herbicides are used successfully for weed control in rice fields for rapid effect, easier to application and low cost involvement in comparison to the traditional methods of hand weeding. Sulfentrazoneis a new pre-planting herbicide in Bangladesh. Field trials were conducted at Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Gazipur during Aman 2014 and Boro 2014-15 to evaluate the efficacy of sulfentrazone 48 SC on weed suppression and performance of transplanted rice. Treatments were Sulfentrazone 48 SC @ 150, 200 and 250 ml ha-1, pretilachlor 500 EC @ 1000 ml ha-1, weed free and unweeded control. Visual assessment indicated that this herbicide possesses high selectivity and not toxic to rice plants. The results revealed that the major weed flora associated with the transplanted rice was mainly comprised of two grasses, two sedges and four broadleaves in Aman 2014 and two grasses, two sedge and two broadleaves in Boro 2014-15. The most dominant weeds were Cyperus difformis, Echinochloa crus-galli, Scirpus maritimus and Monochoria vaginalis in both the growing seasons. Application of Sulfentrazone 48 SC @ 200 ml ha-1 was most effective to suppress weed density and dry masses in both the seasons resulting increased grain yield more than 50% as compared to unweeded control. Therefore, Sulfentrazone 48 SC @ 200 ml ha-1 should apply two or three days before plantingfor effectively control weeds in riceBangladesh Rice j. 2017, 21(1): 67-76

On Chip

This project proposes multilayer advanced high-performance bus architecture for low power applications. The proposed AHB architecture consists of the bus arbiter and the bus tracer (A.R.M.A., 1999. Specification (Rev 2.0) ARM IHI0011A). The bus arbiter, which is self motivated selects the input packet based on the control signals of the incoming packet. So that arbitration leads to a maximum performance. The On-Chip bus is an important system-on-chip infrastructure that connects major hardware components. Monitoring the on-chip bus signals is crucial to the SoC debugging and performance analysis/optimization (Gu, R.T., et al., 2007. A Low Cost Tile-Based 3D Graphics Full Pipeline with Real-Time Performance Monitoring Support for OpenGL ES in Consumer Electronics. 2007 IEEE International Symposium on Consumer Electronics, June; IEEE. pp.1–6). But, such signals are difficult to observe since they are deeply embedded in a SoC and there are often no sufficient I/O pins to access these signals. Therefore, a straightforward approach is to embed a bus tracer in SoC to capture the bus signal trace and store the trace in on-chip storage such as the trace memory which could then be off loaded to outside world for analysis. The bus tracer is capable of capturing the bus trace with different resolutions, all with efficient built in compression mechanisms such as dictionary based compression scheme for address and control signals and differential compression scheme for data. To improve the compression ratio matrix based compression which is lossless compression is used instead of differential compression. This system is designed using Verilog HDL, simulated using Modelsim and synthesized using Xilinx software.
