Adding parameters and writing software for the features which the parameters
represent. A three level organization is used for parameter storage consisting of
PAGES,MODES & SUBMODES, dynamic data structures are used for this purpose

	EEPROM storage
All the changed parameter values, initialized structures, sine table values and
strings are stored into external eeprom and retrieved to RAM during startup for
memory saving. New added parameters are stored into eeprom.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS
M.Tech project  - design of low cost variable frequency drive (mentioned
above).
B.Tech project - on line incipient fault detection in induction motors using    
             artificial neural networks --- The use of electric motors in
industry is extensive these motors are exposed to a wide variety of environments
and conditions, which age the motor and make it subject to incipient faults. A
neural network approach to Real-time condition monitoring of I-M’s using ANN have
been proposed and have demonstrated the capability of solving the motor
monitoring and fault detection problem using an inexpensive reliable and
non-invasive procedure, employing more readily collected data from motor such as
rotor speed and stator current.
