About IEEE-MAS Link: You will be happy to know that Mr. H. R. Mohan, the Chief Editor of the IEEE- MAS Link, is doing a marvelous job in bringing out the comprehensive monthly news bulletin of the IEEE Madras Section, in time, almost for the past 6 years. You will agree with me that even though it is not a full time job for him, it consumes most of his precious time. The bulletin has become a benchmark news letter, covering various events such as: Chairman’s message, Editor’s desk, reports on the events conducted by various chapters, societies, affinity groups, the section membership statistics, details about forthcoming events, box items covering major achievements of the members, details of the financial assistance given to various student branches, technical quiz, uploading the digital version in the web:www.ewh.ieee.org/r10/madras, arranging for posting the hard copy of the bulletin to all the members of the section in time to avail the postage concession, etc.,. Month after month, year after year, he has been doing that job, tirelessly. On behalf of all of you, I take this opportunity to express my sincere admiration and special encomiums for Mr. H. R. Mohan and to his team members. About the Societies & Affinity Groups: You are aware that there are 13 active societies and 2 affinity groups associated with IEEE Madras Section as listed below. I request all the members to encourage other potential colleagues/students to become members of the societies/ affinity groups of their choice. The contact details of the chairpersons of these societies and affinity groups are published in page 11, IEEE-MAS LINK Vol. 8, Issue 3, March 2011.

This is in addition to the funding provided by the Section for the various events organized by the SBs – which was published in the last issue of Link. This was possible by the sustained efforts of the Treasurer. These information, we feel will kindle the interest of the SBs and motivate them to structure their activities to get funding for their activities. As a cyclic pattern, it is noticed that the matters we receive for publishing in Link keep increasing during the period Feb to Apr due to a large no. of activities being organized by the SBs. We have seen significant raise in the no. of activities carried out by few SBs – possibly, they are trying to compete for the top positions in receiving the most active SB awards. This month, apart from a brief review of the book “Cryptography and Security” authored by one of our Sr. Member Dr. T.R. Padmanabhan, we have published about 28 events ranging from guest lectures to FDP as detailed below: Report on Chairman’s Participation in the Region 10 Meet at Indonesia Faculty Development Programme on “Efficient Energy Management in Clean and Renewable Energy Systems” Section Technical Meeting on “In-Vehicle Networking” Lecture on “Digital Image Processing” by IEEE COMSOC Events organized by SBs at the following institutions: o Bannari Amman Inst. of Tech o Vivekanandha College of Engg for Women o Sri Muthukumaran Inst. of Tech o VIT University o Aarupadai Veedu Inst. of Tech o Dr. N.

While we have provided the guidelines to submit the reports, articles for publishing in the newsletter, it has been our experience that more than 50% of the matters we receive do not adhere to the guidelines. This makes the editorial process difficult. Due to space constraints we publish only one photo relating to an event unless we report about a major conference or congress. We get multiple photos in large file sizes though it is recommended 1024 pixels for the pictures. Further, they are embedded in document files which increases the document file size significantly and also make the editing of the photos difficult. Also, we strongly recommend the student branch counselors to do a first round of editing before submitting the matter for publication. While doing so, they may take in to account the style being followed in presenting the reports in the earlier newsletters. This will, to a great extend make the job of the editor easy. We appreciate that the guidelines published at http://ieeecs- madras.managedbiz.com/guidelines-matter-for-ieee-mas-link.pdf is followed strictly and the reports are sent by 1 st week of the month.

ROBO-OPUS I - Robotics Workshop at VIT UniversityA tiny tubular electromagnet connected
(via copper wires) to a thin brass strip mountedon a piece of wood represented the pinnacle oftechnology some 100 years ago. Could a manfrom that era have imagined that in the shortspan of a decade mankind would be connectedto the rest of the globe via an instrument halfthe size of his wooden wonder? What lies in thetimes to come- technology wise? There are manycontenders in the race to become the ‘next bigthing’, but none as strong as robots. Robotictechnology- still in infancy- has massivepotential for growth and is quickly changing theway many fields work. Hence it is imperative
for engineers to keep abreast of the changes/developments in this field and have a soundunderstanding of the principles that govern it.
Robosapiens - an Indian firm that specializesin robotic technology and automation conducted a2 day intensive workshop in VIT where they trainedover 70 students- the best of whom were givena wild card entry to the finals of Robo-opus atIT-BHU. All the students were given kits thatcontained all the materials and instrumentsrequired to make a working robot and assistedin assembling these kits by able professionals.
On the first day of the workshop a
seminar was conducted and students were taughtthe basics of robotics and microprocessors. Theseminar started at 9 in the morning and lastedtill 5 in the evening- an exhausting but fruitfulsession. The second day was reserved exclusivelyfor assembling the kit and testing the robotpractically. Teams struggled to put their botstogether for the final competition- that includeda surprise twist. Of the 15 competing teams,the one that emerged triumphant will be sent tothe final round of Robo-opus at IT-BHU. Theworkshop was an overwhelming success andsaw heavy participation.

Around 100 students from ninth standardwere attending the program on the other side.The welcome address was given by IEEEStudent Branch Counselor Mr. S. Sella Kumar.
Each presenter had, his or her own way ofpresentation.
This event gave a tremendous opportunityfor our students to exhibit their talents and skillsin Engineering and Technology. The videoswhich were presented are edited and formattedin such a way that it would lead to a better andsimpler way of understanding the latesttechnologies.
As the program started up, the studentson the other side with nurturing young mindswere very active and enthusiastic with this newway of approaching education. They were askedquestions and presented with prizes for everycorrect answer, which made them even happier.
As all presentations come to an end, ourprogram also did which made both the groupsfeel sad. The event was a great success andfinally we had a feedback session and heardthat the students found these presentations tobe knowledgeable and thought provoking. Thiswas a completely a new experience for them, asit was a concept of fun with learning.
We thank for the support from the DirectorRegeena Jeppiaar and Principal Dr.Susil Lal Dasto make this program a successful one.

Workshop on “Analysis of Artifacts in RealTime EEG”
EEG/fMRI study with real-time artefactsfiltering is characterized by a procedure basedon a preliminary analytical study of EPIsequence parameters-related EEG-artefactshapes. Changes included are high-performanceacquisition device; electrodes/cap/wires/cablesmaterials and geometric design; shielding boxfor EEG signal receiver; optical fibre link; andsoftware. The effects of the RF pulse and time-varying magnetic fields were minimized byusing a correct head cap wires-lockedenvironment montage and then removed duringEEG/fMRI acquisition with a subtractionalgorithm that takes in account the mostsignificant EPI sequence parameters. She statedthat the on-line method also allows a furtherpost-processing utilization. The informationprovided was very engrossing and beneficial forthe students.

Krishnaveni, Assistant Prof, PSGTech, Coimbatore. The welcome address andthe introduction of chief guest was given byMs.V.R. Saraswathy, Asst Prof., KEC. Thefocus of this workshop was to create awarenessamong the students about the development of areal-time filtering procedure of MRI artefactsin order to monitor the EEG activity duringcontinuous EEG/fMRI acquisition. Up untilnow, the methods proposed to solve thisproblem are mainly based on procedures toremove post-processing artefacts without thepossibility to control electrophysiologicalbehaviour of the patient during fMRI scan.Moreover, these methods are not characterizedby a strong “prior knowledge” of the artefact,which is an imperative condition to avoid anyloss of information on the physiological signalsrecovered after filtering. She pointed out thatthe new method to perform simultaneous
