| Abstract | In this paper, the authors present a novel method of prosthetic control for amputees who are missing a subset of their digits. The core of the system is a personalized set of basic configurations of the human hand to facilitate given tasks, referred to as use-patterns. In the concept, the system first senses the positions of the remaining, healthy digits using resistive flex sensors mounted onto a glove. Then, an algorithm using a Z-score metric compares the flex sensor readings to a large set of training data to determine which of several use-patterns the current situation corresponds to. A control system can then move a bionic digit into the intended position corresponding to the use-pattern detected, completing the grip. MATLAB simulations were run to determine the accuracy of this concept on five exemplary use-patterns. The success rate with one amputated digit was 96.5% and the success rate with two amputated digits was 92.5%. This demonstrates the feasibility of a simple, intuitive, and low-cost prosthetic control system based on this premise that could deliver even higher success rates when personalized with self-learning algorithms. |

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.
