Item FPGA Implementation of SSRS Codes for NAND Flash Memory Device(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Achala, G.; Nandana, S.; Jomy, F.; Girish, M.M.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Srihari, P.; Cenkarmaddi, L.R.NAND flash memory is a non-volatile storage device that is extensively used in personal electronic gadgets, digital television, digital cameras, and many consumer/ professional electronics devices. Error control coding techniques have been incorporated to improve the integrity of information stored in these devices. We have synthesized the Subfield Subcodes of Reed Solomon codes (SSRS) for use on Multi-Level cell (MLC), Triple Level Cell (TLC), and Quadruple Level Cell (QLC) NAND flash devices. The primary advantage of these codes is that the codeword symbols can be correctly matched to the number of bits that can be stored in these multilevel cells. Deployment of these codes improves the integrity of information storage and useful life. This paper describes the implementation of the encoder and decoder of SSRS codes synthesized for MLC, TLC, and QLC NAND flash devices. The encoder circuit is designed using addition and multiplication tables derived from elements of synthesized SSRS codes. The Non-binary decoding procedure consists of the syndrome computation, Berlekamp -Massey algorithm, Chein search, and Forney's algorithm. The designed encoder requires 16% resources for MLC, 18% of resources for TLC, and 18% of resources for QLC. This research work has reported the design of very high rate (R ≥ 0.97) codes that can bring about significant improvements to the Undetected Bit Error Rate (UBER) even when the Raw Bit Error rate (RBER) values are significant (> 10-3). © 2013 IEEE.Item Unveiling the Versatile Applications of Cobalt Oxide-Embedded Nitrogen-Doped Porous Graphene for Enhanced Energy Storage and Simultaneous Determination of Ascorbic Acid, Dopamine and Uric Acid(Institute of Physics, 2024) Agadi, N.P.; Hegde, S.S.; Teradal, N.L.; Badekai Ramachandra, B.R.; Seetharamappa, J.The advancement of electrode materials is essential for addressing the energy and biomedical challenges. A multi-functional approach was employed to create a new electrode material of cobalt oxide-embedded nitrogen-doped porous graphene (Co3O4@NpG) for sensing and energy storage applications. In the present study, we have fabricated a new electrochemical sensing platform based on Co3O4@NpG. The sensing performance and selective detection capability of the demonstrated sensor was optimized and tested by determining dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), and ascorbic acid (AA) simultaneously in analyte fortified biological samples. The sensing response is noticed to be linearly dependent upon the concentration of AA, DA, and UA in the range of 0.1-450, 0.1-502, and 0.2-396 μM, respectively. This material also showed good electrochemical energy storage performance when assessed as a supercapacitor electrode. The Co3O4@NpG electrode material showcased a remarkable specific capacitance of 314.58 Fg−1, an energy density of 10.06 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 240 Wkg−1 at 0.5 Ag−1, in a 6 M KOH electrolyte, along with excellent long-term cycling stability. Hence, the material Co3O4@NpG stands out as a promising multifunctional electrode candidate, excelling in the precise simultaneous detection of critical biomolecules besides exhibiting superior energy storage performance. © 2024 The Electrochemical Society (“ECS”).

Consequently, the tube carrying heat transfer fluid (HTF) is surrounded by five annular fins. To examine the impact of directional flow fins on the thermal performance of LHTES, four novel directional flow fin configurations namely, 1 mm thick solid circular fin, 10 mm thick hollow circular fin - flow of HTF only through the central tube, 10 mm thick hollow circular fin - flow of HTF partially through the central tube and partially through the fin structure, 10 mm hollow circular fin - flow of HTF only through the fin structure were selected. In order to study the LTHES experimentally, three sections are chosen for the location of thermocouples at 0, 120 and 240°. At each sections five thermocouples are located to record the temperature distribution in the PCM. A detailed behavior of melting and solidification cycles are explained by observing temperature variation, accumulative energy and melting fraction during both melting and solidification. Results show that use of directional flow fins decreases melting time by 58.33 % in comparison with conventional fins and solidification time by 50 % of LHTES and allows heat to penetrate deeper through the volume of the PCM more uniformly. Additionally, the thermal efficiency of the LHTES system was found to be 67.4 % during charging and 53.85 % during discharging, validating the significant improvement in energy storage and retrieval performance with directional flow fins in latent heat thermal energy storage system. © 2025
