The design of biometric pattern recognition with better accuracy, high robustness and good permanence is a significant design issue in pattern recognition system. A pattern recognition system in which the biological and physiological traits of the user are employed to authenticate the users is known as biometric pattern recognition system. Unimodal biometric systems do not have the required characteristics like solidity, circumvention and permanence. When noisy data acquired from the sensor is given as input, the uni modal biometrics system's accuracy may reduce. Besides the noisy input, less variation of parameters of input data belonging to same class may be a cause for decrease in accuracy of the system. Several such limitations may be removed by applying input data from multi biometric sources. In this work, the design of a textural feature extractor and the classifier for a bimodal biometric system is described. The bimodal biometric system is constructed by fusion of iris code vector and palmprint code vector at feature level. In iris pattern, using the gray level dependent matrix values obtained from wavelet packet decomposed sub-images, the features are extracted Using gabor kernel, features are extracted from the palmprint pattern. The feature vector is formed by the concatenation of both the features after normalization is employed. By binarisation, the binary feature vector is created Using Hamming Distance and its variant, the classifier produces the classification result. The RTL description of the Hamming Distance Classifier (HDC) is written using VHDL 2008 language, Verilog HDL, and the implementation is performed on Spartan 6 FPGA. With a speed grade of 4, the propagation delay of the critical path is 330.12 ns. The obtained delay is sufficient for implementing the classifier as an off-chip design for real-time implementation.

In this paper, we explore the benefits of cooperative diversity for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Relays are uniformily distributed in $L$ hops and $N$ branches between the sensor nodes SN and the base station BS. Three cooperative routing protocols are considered, namely: one hop, suboptimal and optimal routing protocols. One hop routing chooses the best relay in each hop. Optimal routing selects the best path between SN and BS. Suboptimal routing decomposes the network into $K$ subnetworks and selects successively the best path in each one. We derive the outage probability, the Packet Error Probability (PEP) and the queening delays spent in the system for each protocol.

Both academics and professionals are becoming increasingly curious about how to measure the impact of Techno-entrepreneurship programs in higher education. This research aimed to provide light on how collegiate Techno-entrepreneurship programs affect students' propensity to go into business by integrating passion and competency-based approaches. A structured questionnaire using a Likert scale and a purposive sample technique was used to gather and analyze the data from 140 technical and non-technical students. The study employed Smart-PLS to establish a model using entrepreneurial intentions, entrepreneurial attributes, entrepreneurial passion, and Techno-entrepreneurship education, which leads to sustainable business. The study's results show that Techno-entrepreneurship education mediates in achieving sustainable business. The originality of this study resides in its investigation of the model that explains the nexus of chosen variables based on previous studies and expanded areas to achieve sustainable business. The research findings are expected to influence how Techno-entrepreneurship is taught by nurturing sustainable development.
