The wide acceptance of the semantic web language RDF for ontologies creation in various application fields has led to the emergence of numerous RDF data processing solutions, the so-called triplestores, for the storage of RDF data and its querying using the RDF query language SPARQL. Such solutions are however developed under various perspectives and on…

The design of microelectronic systems is often complex, therefore metaheuristics can be of a great interest, because in most cases these systems have conflicting objectives and constraints. In this paper, we demonstrate the application of multi-criteria design strategies to a CMOS current conveyor. This provides designers with the ability to develop solutions that can meet…

Sustainable urban development and utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) technology is driving cities globally to evolve into Smart Cities (SC). The power of IoT services and applications will enable public agencies to provide personalized services to the citizens and inevitably improves their much-needed quality of life. However, although the use of IoT technology proves…

This paper describes an experimental setup that employs ultrasound to scan an area. This method utilizes ultrasonic waves to scan the surface of a submerged object in a water-coupled medium. A pulse-echo mode is used, and quantitative data are collected at various positions using a two- dimensional automated table. A microcontroller controls the motion of…

This is a report describing the impact of calcination on the morphological and optical properties of nanoparticles Iron doped-nickel oxide. By synthetic precipitation, the technique makes use of it. Three samples have been calcined in different temperatures and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy…

This manuscript intending to publicize the improvements incorporated in the BrcLightning application, including the Risk Analysis module with the help of a pop-up, which provides the result and assists in the identification of mitigating measures by the professional, which must be defined to reduce the calculated risks. Other points addressed in this extension are the…

Computer Vision is a domain which deals with the challenge of enabling technology with vision capabilities. This goal is accomplished with the use of Convolutional Neural Networks. They are the backbone of implementing vision applications on embedded systems. They are complex but highly efficient in extracting features, thus, enabling embedded systems to perform computer vision…

Real-time embedded systems are widely adopted in applications such as automotive, avionics, and medical care. As some of these systems have to provide a guaranteed worst-case execution time to satisfy the time constraints, understanding the timing behaviour of such systems is of the utmost importance regarding the reliability and the safety of these systems. In…

The optimum performance of power plants has major technical and economic benefits. A case study in one of the Malaysian power plants reveals an escalating harmonic failure trend in their Continuous Ship Unloader (CSU) machines. This has led to a harmonic filter failure causing performance loss leading to costly interventions and safety concerns. Analysis of…

This paper proposes a new method of implementation of the part of SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm used to extract the feature of an image of a size 256×256 of pixels, which is mainly based on the using the LEON3 soft core processor .With this method it is possible to detect points of interest and…

Music is one of the most popular entertainments, and the music industry continues to increase over time. There are many types of genres in music, and everyone has their own choice of the type of music they want to listen to. The recommendation system is an important function in the application, especially when there are…

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are having large demands in enormous applications for the decade. The main issue in WSNs is estimating the exact location of unknown nodes. All applications are dependent on the location information of unknown nodes in WSNs. Location information of mobile anchor node is used to estimate the location of unknown nodes.…

Nowadays almost every PLC manufacturer offer a so-called safety PLC. It is a specific category of PLC, which in recent years have become a commonly used means of performing safety functions, especially in industrial applications. In this area of specific applications, a maximum of SIL 3 is normally required. However, the guaranteed safety features of…

In this paper, we have modeled and designed a metal mountable tag antenna that is applied to cover two major UHF RFID bands, i.e., European (EU) (865-867 MHz) and U.S. bands (902-928 MHz). It is applied for many applications, especially in the transport and logistics fields. The tag antenna configuration utilizes microstrip configuration with open…

In vital energy applications especially the agricultural environments, the service of adaptive power utilization plays an essential role in facilitating the usage of Internet of Things systems. Such environments are distinguished by the large range of lands where most of the region lacks the commercial power lines. Reaching some high or deep sensing points is…

Hearing impairments have a negative impact in the lives of individuals living with them and those around such individuals. Different applications and technological tools have been developed to help reduce this negative impact. Most mobile applications that have been developed that use Speech-to-Text technology have been inconsistent such that they are not inclusive of all…

This article presents an analytical model of a single-phase ferromagnetic core power in- ductor (reactor) based on a magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC). The MEC model consists of magnetomotive forces (MMFs) and reluctances for all flux paths: magnetic core and leakage flux paths. The MEC elements are found established on the characteristics of the ferromagnetic material…

Capturing similarity in gene sequences of a target organism to detect significant regions of comparison will most likely occur because genes share a related descendant. Local sequence alignment for the targeted organisms can help preserve associations among sequences of related organisms. Such homologous genes possess identical sequences with common ancestral genes. The genes may be…

The angle of attack is a critical flight parameter for commercial aviation aircraft, because automatic envelope protection systems rely on it to keep the aircraft within its safe flight envelope. Faulty measurements of the angle of attack could have catastrophic effects, leading to aircraft loss of control in flight and fatalities, as demonstrated by the…

Modulation type classification is a part of waveform estimation required to employ spectrum sharing scenarios like dynamic spectrum access that allow more efficient spectrum utilization.
