The presentation of the work of Sir. J.C. Bose (1895, 1896, 1897, 1927) to the scientific community has resulted in a plethora of newspaper articles which claimed that perhaps the western scientific world of Lords Rayleigh and Kelvin which created Bose, attempted to deprive him of his Noble Prize for his work on electromagnetic phenomena which were carried out at the same time as that of Marconi. ...

An arm can spin in a conical space through a ball-socket system. The extension of the arm increases the height of the cone and the area of its base. In this the mover cannot perpendicularly approach the surface of a 3-D object, if the socket is not moved by further additional motors and corresponding arms. In such a system an end-effector cannot effectively operate over a curved surface/3-D object... View full abstract»

TCP is the most common transport protocol used in the Internet. It was designed primarily for wired networks. The characteristics of wireless links is very different from wired links, particularly in terms of the loss behaviour. This results in poor TCP performance over wireless links. We have proposed enhancements to TCP so that it can differentiate between a loss due to congestion, and a loss du... View full abstract»
