This paper presents a full custom memory layout design of 1KB SRAM, followed by physical verification checks, such as DRC and LVS to validate the layouts implemented. The Layout design technique such as device matching, routing matching, half-cell and symmetry has been followed carefully. The layouts were implemented using CADENCE EDA, Virtuoso platform was used for schematic and layout design. Assura physical verification environment was used for validating the layout designs. Technology nodes used are gpdk 180nm and 45nm. The full custom layout of 1KB SRAM architecture was successfully designed.

Nowadays solar power has become an alternate method of power generation for standalone systems for both urban and rural electrification. The Power Electronics converters used for the power conversion should provide quality AC output to have near sinusoidal voltage. The inverter topology and the PWM technique of the inverter play a vital role in providing quality output. This paper reviews recent contribution to establish the current status and development of the technology to provide reader with an insightful review of multilevel inverters and its control strategy. A brief overview of Multi Level Inverters (MLI) topology and advantages of Cascaded H-Bridge Multi Level Inverter (CHBMLI) for solar power conversion is presented and the various control strategies for CHBMLI are discussed with view point of quality output.  Among the different PWM techniques discussed, the Elliptical Multi Carrier PWM (EMC PWM) control strategy is the new modulation technique which successfully improves the DC bus utilization without over-modulation and without adding third harmonic to fundamental frequency. Also, the technique is successful in reducing the %THD at the output voltage. The control strategy is simple even with increased   level of output voltage, which is not possible in SVPWM technique.  Hence, the EMC PWM technique is having better performance when compared to Multi Carrier PWM (MCPWM) technique, Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) technique and Third Harmonic Injection PWM (THIPWM) technique.

Digital image inpainting is a technique of restoring large removed /damaged regions of an image with the data from the surrounding pixels of the removed region. The issue of image restoration with inpainting techniques occurs commonly in computer vision/image processing when unwanted objects have to be removed from images, for filling cracks in photographs, etc. Digital image inpainting approach is an active field of research in two significant applications of wireless communication: image compression and image recovery from a damaged image due to errors in a wireless channel. This work presents a brief survey of different image inpainting techniques and their contributions to different wireless communication applications.
