Details of technology development/transfer; patents, Industrial Experience

• I had designed a 32-bit Programmable Cellular Automata chip in 1992-1993. This chip had already been fabricated with ITI, Bangalore 3 micron gate array library. Details of the 32 bit PCA chip with 90 and 150 rules are: (i) 64pinDIP, (ii) area equivalent 1284two input NAND gates, (iii) power - 316 mW, (iv) current - 57 mA, and (v) operating clock speed of 10 MHz. It was used in hardware laboratory experiments in 1994 and 1995 at Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

• I was one of the primary members of the team for designing Single Byte Error Correcting and Double Byte Error Detecting, and Double Byte Error Detecting and Correcting Chips. All chips were implemented using FPGA at Center for Development of Telematics (CDoT) laboratory and handed over to CDoT for use in VSAT applications (1994).

• During my tenure as Project Officer at IIT, Kharagpur I was one of the primary member of the team for development of software package like DFTEXPERT, KBIST, KGPFSMSYN etc for VLSI circuit testing (1991-1995).

• During my post Ph D tenure at IIT Kharagpur, I was also one of the consultants for software testing of Cadence Design Systems (1995).

• I had guided to design two Cellular Automata based chips; (i) Reed Solomon Decoder for (127, 113, 7) code and (ii) Classical Goppa Code Decoder as result of the DST sponsored project (1998-2001).

• I was one of the principal members to set-up Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) group under CeMNeT in School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (June 2002 - May 2003).
