You could possibly create library classes with them.

my knoweledge is limited and i couldnt follow userguide for these perticular classes.
could u please explain specifically for above classes. how to put them in library and then how to initialise/use them in a controller.

Since I do not know those specific classes, no, I cannot.
In general, copy the class file to "<CI directory>/application/libraries/classname.php" where "classname" is the name of the class. Make sure that in the actual class file the class is named with an initial capital letter; e.g. the class is named "Myclass" while the file is "myclass.php".
Then in your controller:
Code:
$this->load->library('myclass');
// use a method from it:
$this->myclass->some_method();
