| Abstract | Over the last 30 years very innovative prosthetic hands have been developed, nevertheless, it emerges that 30 to 50% of the upper extremity amputees do not use their prosthetic hand regularly mainly because of its poor functionality and usability. The design goals of the prosthetic hand are cosmetics, dexterity and controllability. The modular architecture of the bio-mechatronic hand is composed of the following functional subdivisions: the implanted unit (the neural interface electrodes + Patient Neural Recording / Simulating Unit ‹PNR/SU›), the embedded system unit (Neural Processing and Coding System Block + Prosthetic Hand Control and Sensing Block) and the prosthetic hand. The PNR/SU is where the neural signal originating from the Central Nervous System of the patient is processed and converted to a digital signal which is then transmitted to the following functional blocks. Also it can provide the patient with a sensory feedback, acording to the data provided by the previous functional blocks in the feedback flow. The novelty of the approach consists in the bidirectional wireless transmission of the digitalized neural signal, between the implanted unit and the embedded sytem unit for the complete electric insulation of the patient from the high voltages that may occur in the prosthetic hand functional block, but also for the mobility, flexibility, compatibility and high scale integration of the prosthetic system. |

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.
