SOCIETY FOR APPLIED MICROWAVE ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING & RESEARCH (SAMEER)
- SAMEER is an autonomous R&D institute under the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MC&IT), Govt. of India.
- The organization was set up in 1984 with the goal of becoming a premier research institute in the field of RF and microwaves technologies. Headquarters of SAMEER is located at IIT campus, Fowai, Mumbai.
- SAMEER has contributed to the development of many Radio frequency/Microwave systems and products required for various applications.
- Laboratories are located at Powai, Mumbai and also in Chennai and Kolkata.
CENTRE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED COMPUTING (C-DAC)
- C-DAC is the premier R&D organization of the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), Ministry of Communications & Information Technology (MCIT) for carrying out R&D in IT, Electronics and associated areas.
- C-DAC is pursuing activities in the following thematic areas: High Performance Computing (HPC), Grid Computing and Cloud Computing, Multilingual Computing (HPC), Professional Electronics, Software Technologies including FOSS, Cyber Security, Education and Training.
- One of the significant achievements of the past year was upgradation of the compute power of PARAM Yuva system from 54 TF/5 to 529 TF/s. This also marked a transition from CPU-only architecture of the HPC systems to hybrid CPU and accelerator architecture for C-DAC.
- In the area of Cloud Computing, C-DAC launched its cloud platform, Meghdoot 1.0 during the Technology Conclave at Hyderabad in October, 2012.
- In the area of Professional Electronics, C-DAC has developed the following system of WiTrac (Wireless Traffic Controller) and made its first deployment this year.
- Synchronized Phasor Measurement Unit (SPMU), Object based Real Time Expert Systems Shell (ORTESS) and Autonomic Real Time Multi Protocol Gateway (ARTMG) are examples of a few systems developed in the area of power electronics.
- Some of the safety devices and solutions developed during the year include Self Recording Image Surveillance System (SRISS), Distress Call Response Management System (DCRMS) and Portable Ultrasonic Landmine Senor (PULS).
- Additionally, two medical electronics devices namely, Automatic Bio—Chemistry Analyzer (ABC Analyzer) and Wireless ECG Sensor were developed this year.
- Several e-Governance applications and frameworks including;
- e—Praman with Aadhaar,
- State e—Governance Service Delivery Gateway (SSDG),
- Mobile Services Delivery Gateway (MSDG),
- Electronic Project Proposal System (e-PPS) for DeitY and ICMR were developed/enhanced during the year.
- Bharat Operating System Solution: Enterprise-wide self-managed network solution EDGE, a dynamic firewall solution-Chakra, a White listing solution-AppSamvid, a URL analyzer are examples of a few security solutions developed during the year.
- Good progress was made towards development of Mercury Nimbus Suite that will enable deployment of HER (Electronic Health Record) and Tele medicine services over cloud infrastructure.
- With the proliferation of mobile devices, C-DAC also initiated the development of health care services on mobile devices. m-Health and m-Swasthya are two such solutions.
