Abstract: This paper is about a lip reading technique for speech recognition by using motion estimation analysis. It presents a user authentication system based on password lip reading. Motion estimation is done for lip movement image sequences representing speech. In this methodology, the motion estimation is computed without extracting the speaker’s lip contours and location. This leads to obtaining robust visual features for lip movements representing utterances. The proposed methodology comprises of two phases, a training phase and a recognition phase. In both the phases an n x n video frame of the image sequence for an utterance (password) is divided into m x m blocks. This method calculates and fits eight curves for each frame. Each curve represents motion estimation of this frame in a specific direction. These eight curves are representing set of features of a specific frame and are extracted in an unsupervised manner. The feature set consists of the integral values of the motion estimati

Abstract: Fats are stored in the body in the form of fatty acids and reused whenever the body is unable to consume essential fats (at the time of exercise, fasting etc). In the human heart cell, the transport of certain fatty acids into the mitochondria is required to produce energy. This is done via a certain enzyme called Carnitine Translocase. This work deals with the detection and manipulation of carnitine translocase in order to analyze its importance in avoiding certain cardiovascular disorders like hyperglycemia, arrhythmia etc.
