Abstract | This paper presents a novel architecture of a lower limb neural machine interface (NMI) for determination of user intent. Our new design and implementation paves the way for future bionic legs that require high speed real-time deterministic response, high accuracy, easy portability, and low power consumption. A working FPGA-based prototype has been built, and experiments have shown that it achieves average performance gains of around 8x that of the equivalent software algorithm running on an Intel Core i7 2670QM, or 24x that of an Intel Atom Z530 with no perceivable loss in accuracy. Furthermore, our fully pipelined and parallel non-linear support vector machine-based FPGA implementation led to a 6.4x speedup over an equivalent GPU-based design. In this paper, we also characterize our achieved timing margin to show that our design is capable of supporting real-time wireless communications. With additional refinement, such a wireless personal area network (PAN) system will provide improved flexibility on an individual basis for electromyography (EMG) sensor placement. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
