Design and Implementation of a GPS based Personal Tracking SystemSudhanshu Janwadkar
Design and Implementation of a GPS based Personal Tracking System
Tracking based applications have been quite popular in recent times. Most of them have been limited to commercial applications such as vehicular tracking (e.g tracking of a train etc). However, not much work has been done towards design of a personal tracking system. Our Research work is an attempt to design such personal tracking system. In this paper, we have shared glimpses of our research work.
The objective of our research project is to design & develop a system which is capable of tracking and monitoring a person, object or any other asset of importance (called as target). The system uses GPS to determine the exact position of the target. The target is aided with a compact handheld device which consists of a GPS receiver and GSM modem. GPS receiver obtains location coordinates (viz. Latitude & Longitude) from GPS satellites. The location information in NMEA format is decoded, formatted and sent to control station, through a GSM modem. Due to use of Open CPU development platform, no external Microcontroller is required, with additional advantage of compact size product, reduced design & development time and reduced cost.
Thus, the proposed system is able to track the accurate location of target. This system finds applications in tracking old-age people, tracking animals in forest, tracking delivery of goods etc. Our final designed system is a small-size compact l.S"X3.7S" Tracker system with position accuracy error <30m (100 feet).
With advancement in CMOS technology, a lot of research has been done to develop various logic styles to improve the performance of logic circuits. D flip-flops (DFF) are fundamental building blocks in almost every sequential logic circuit. Hence, in sequential logic circuits, the overall performance of the circuit is affected by the performance of constituent DFFs. In recent years, the focus has been towards incorporating higher clock rates in a processor for better performance. To achieve high clock rates, fine granularity pipelining techniques are used, which implies that there are relatively a fewer levels of logic in each pipeline stage. A major consequence of this design trend is that the pipeline overhead has becoming more significant. The primary cause of pipeline overhead is the latency of the flip-flop or latch used to design the processor and the clock skew of the system. This calls out for the need of incorporating the logic functionality within the architecture of flip-flop. The new family of flip-flops are called Embedded Logic Flip Flops. In this Paper, we have reviewed various Flip-flop architectures which have been proposed so far. Our attempt is to do a qualitative analysis and comparison of the proposed Embedded logic flip-flop designs.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Pass Transistor Logic
Pass Transistor Logic involves nMOS or pMOS transistors to transfer the charge from one
node of a circuit to another node under the control of MOS gate voltage.
Pass transistor chain can be used in design of regular array based structures such as ROMS,
PLAs, Multiplexers etc
Strength of output signal
The strength of a signal is measured by how closely it approximates an ideal voltage source. In
general, the stronger a signal, the more current it can source or sink. The power supplies, or rails,
(VDD and GND) are the source of the strongest 1s and 0s.
An nMOS transistor is an almost perfect switch when passing a 0 and thus we say it passes a
strong 0. However, the nMOS transistor is imperfect at passing a 1. The high voltage level is less
than VDD. We say it passes a degraded or weak 1.
A pMOS transistor is an almost perfect switch when passing a 1 and thus we say it passes a
strong 1. However, the nMOS transistor is imperfect at passing a 0. The high voltage level is less
than VDD. We say it passes a degraded or weak 0.

Threshold Drops
Rule 1. If the Gate and Drain are both at VDD, the source can rise only upto one threshold
below the gate. If the Source tries to rise higher, the device goes to Cut-off region.
3. Compiled by : Sudhanshu Janwadkar, 6th
November 2017
Rule 2. If the Gate is at-least one threshold voltage higher than the drain, the source will
rise within few millivolts to Drain potential.
Rule 3. If the Gate and Drain of a pass-transistor are both High, the source will rise to the
lower of the two potentials VDD and VG-VT.
Thus, following generalization can be made.

Limitations of Pass-transistor Logic
1. Consider a three-input AND gate, as shown
Initially, if inputs are A = B = C = 1, then the output node is charged to VDD. Later, control B
goes low and the corresponding pass transistor is turned off. Ideally, the output node must be at
0V. But, there is no path for the output node to discharge and therefore output is not pulled-
down instantly.
Limitation: In designing pass-transistor logic, care must be taken to ensure the existence of
both charging and discharging paths to the inputs of all inverters.
2. Consider a situation shown in figure.
Even when the applied input voltage is 5V, the voltage at the input of the inverter is 2V. This is
well below the inverter switching threshold voltage and will most likely be treated by the
inverter as a logic ‘0’ when it should have been a logic ‘1’.
The issue can be resolved by adjusting the W/L ratios of pull-up and pull-down devices so that
signals are appropriately restored.
Limitation: In designing pass-transistor logic, one must avoid to drive a pass transistor with
the output of another pass transistor.

3. Charge sharing
Charge sharing problems occur when two capacitive nodes charged to different voltages are
connected through a pass-transistor. When the pass transistor is turned on, it connects the two
nodes, resulting in redistribution of the charge on both nodes.
Charge sharing is a serious problem in pre-charge circuits and must be carefully guarded
against.
4. Sneak paths
A sneak path is created when two pass transistors are both ON at the same time and one is
connected to VDD while the other os connected to GND.
Charge Sharing
Capacitors C1 and C2 are in parallel when pass transistor P is conducting. This forces the
voltages across C1 and C2 to be equal. If the two capacitors are charged to different initial
voltages, charge sharing will occur when P turns on.
Let the initial voltage and charge on C1 be V1 and Q1, and the initial voltage and charge on C2 be
V2 and Q2. After the pass transistor turns on, the final charges on C1 and C2 are Q1f and Q2f,
respectively, and both capacitors are charged to voltage Vf.
8. Compiled by : Sudhanshu Janwadkar, 6th
November 2017
The initial charge balance equation is
Q1 + Q2 = C1V1 +C2V2
The final charge balance equation is
Q1f + Q2f = (C1 +C2)Vf
To find the final charge distribution, equate the charges before and after P turns on
C1V1 + C2V2 = (C1 +C2) Vf
Solve for Vf, then Q1f
Vf =
C1V1+C2V2
C1+C2
Q1f = C1Vf = (C1V1 +C2 V2) (
C1
C1+C2
)
Exercise:
Determine the charge on each capacitor of figure above, before and after P turns on, if C1=20fF,
C2=20fF, V1= 1V and V2 =5V.
Solution:
Initially, Q1 =C1V1 =20fC, and Q2 = C2V2 = 100fC.
After P turns on,
Vf =
20 1 + 20(5)
20+20
= 30V
Q1f = Q2f =C1Vf = 20(3) = 60fC.
