ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I take this opportunity to thank all the intellectuals who guided me during my entire Industrial Training and make it a rejoiced accomplishment.

To begin with Mr. G. C. Jain (M.D.-M.C.B.S.), my special thank to him for providing me such a great opportunity to study the designing and implementation of Embedded Systems in the institute.

I would also like to thank to Mr. Ashok Vaghela & Mr. Rupesh Gajjar for providing me such a wonderful platform at M.C.B.C LTD, Gandhinagar for my Industrial training to expand my horizon and help me penetrate deep into this vast ocean of knowledge and give their important time to me.

Nevertheless, I would also thank Mr. A. H. Dafda as my training guide in college and entire staff of EC Dept. to bear with all my mistakes, shortcomings, and failures and consistently encourage me to perform better.

This training would never have been successful without the support of entire M.C.B.C. family and other trainees. Various facilities provided by the administration like transportation and various entertainment events took care of our comfort and enjoyment.
