Speed
and precision are the
two major factors of immediate
concern to any one interested
in developing algorithms
for mission critical applications.
Traditional theories and
paradigms have indeed
been used for meeting
such requirements. However,
the desired speed and
precision were not achieved
till now due to the fact
that the traditional algorithms
are essentially numerical
in nature. Efforts were
made to develop non-numeric
algorithms for various
applications which would
ensure speed and precision.
The essence of the results
due to such effects is
the formulation of a theory
called "Cellular
Logic Array Processing".
This paradigm has been
evolved using the fundamental
notions of von Neumann's
Cellular Spaces and Markov's
Normal Algorithms. Research
continues in various tenets
of this paradigm. A number
of fast algorithms have
been developed to carry
out desired operations
on Signals and Images.
Many products have been
developed using such algorithms,
among which the following
three are of very high
scientific and commercial
values. Some of our products
are: (i) LIPS
(Logical Image Processing
System), (ii) LPGS
(Logical Pattern Generating
System), (iii) MEDIMAGE
(Medical Imaging System),
(iv) LCCS
(Logical Currency Checking
System) |

Pentagram
Research was incorporated
as a Private Limited
Company under Indian
Companies Act of the year
1956 on February
17, 1994 with two
promoter directors on the
board: (i) G. Chitra
(Managing Director), (ii)
Dr. E. G. Rajan
(Director and Founder President)
|

Mrs.
G. Chitra
is the Founder Managing
Director of the
Pentagram
Research Centre
(P) Ltd.,
Hyderabad, India.
She is a Mathematician
and a Scientist
having about 29
years of experience
in teaching,
research and administration.
She has a number
of publications
to her credit. She
is graduated in
Mathematics from
the Madras University.
She was a noted
teacher in the campus
of Aviation Research
Centre, Government
of India from 1977
to 1984. She was
a Natural and Formal
Language Specialist
working in the research
project of Machine
Translation of Indian
Languages
in the Computer
Science Department
of the Indian Institute
of Technology, Kanpur
in 1990. She authored
many research papers
especially in the
areas related to
Automation. She
conducted major
International
Conferences on Systemics,
Cybernetics and
Informatics
(ICSCI-2004, ICSCI-2005,
ICSCI-2006, ICSCI-2007)
respectively in
the years 2004,
2005, 2006 and 2007.
All these conferences
had drawn the attention
of many internationally
reputed scientists,
academicians, industrialists
and students from
all over the globe.
Many Indian students
benefited to a great
extent from these
conferences. While
she is an academician
and a scientist
by profession and
life style, she
is also known for
her capabilities
in all matters related
to business and
administration.
Recently, two major
research centers
have been approved
by her, one Molecular
Electronics Research
Center
and the other on
Brain Research Center.
Efforts are being
made to take them
up with collaborative
support from foreign
scientific organizations
and the Government
of India under the
category of Bio
Technology. |

He
has brought out more than
25 original concepts.
One such concept is Codon
Space, which
advocates the theory of
Life Forms as Subspaces
of the Information Space
called Codon Space. Another
concept is a Mathematical
Transform, which
goes by his name as Rajan
Transform. This
transform is ideally used
for Pattern Recognition
and Analysis
purposes. He leads the
company in his own professorial
style and the company
is technically strong
and steady.
Pentagram Research Centre
Private Limited maintains

which are under development
would be ported to the
SOLARIS OS based
SUN workstations and Sun
Fire X2200 M2 dual-core
server.
Well
Known Venture Capitalist
Indian Venture
Capital Ltd.
promoted by Dr.
Bharat Kotecha
a prominent business analyst/
investor has taken a substantial
stake in the company and
has shown a keen interest
in our commercial activities.
Advanced project proposals
like (i) AI based Oil
Exploration, (ii) Solar
cooling system, (iii)
Molecular Electronics
Research Centre (to develop
molecular processors),
(iv) Secured ATM transactions,
(v) Brain to Computer
Interface and Brain to

and BBC), (vi) Flexinet
(DNA based internet routing
technology) are being
sent to various interested
agencies for possible
joint ventures.
Pentagram
Research Foundation
(PRF) was started in the
year 2005 with the idea
of creating awareness
especially among the Indian
students, faculty, industries
and society in fundamental
and applied research in
various disciplines. Where
on one side there is a
boom in Information Technology
related commercial activities,
on the other side, there
is a sharp decline in
research and development
which we feel that would
be a real stumbling block
for a developing nation.
After a series of discussions
with many academicians
and industrialists, we
resolved in one of our
board meetings that our
company would promote
research culture through
an institution which we
named as Pentagram
Research Foundation. |
