We have been developing a method of evaluating the mental health condition of a person based on the sound of their voice. Currently, we have applied this technology to create a smartphone application that shows the vitality and the mental activity as mental health condition indices. Using voice to measure one’s mental health condition is…

The axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor (AFPM motor) using magnet bearings instead of ball-bearings at both two shaft ends could allow rotational speed of shaft much greater than nominal speed. One of the solutions to increase motor speed higher than its nameplate speed is reducing rotor’s pole magnetic flux of rotor (Yp). This paper…

The processes of reflection of three-dimensional electromagnetic waves by locally irregular media interfaces are investigated. The problem under study is mathematically reduced to the solution of a boundary value problem for the Maxwell equations in an infinite space with an irregular boundary. In order to develop a numerical algorithm, the potential theory and a special…

High Frequency Signal Injection based techniques are robust and well proven to estimate the rotor position from stand still to low speed. However, Injected high frequency signal introduces, high frequency harmonics in the motor phase currents and results in significant Output Torque ripple. There is no detailed analysis exist in the literature, to study the…

The effects of abnormal voltages on power system equipment and appliances in the home have raise concern as most of the equipments are very expensive. Each piece of electrical equipment in an electrical system needs to be protected from surges. To prevent damage to electrical equipment, surge protection considerations are paramount to a well designed…

This paper analyses the impact of current trend in applying machine learning in detection of vandalism, with the specific aim of analyzing the impact of the class imbalance in Wikipedia articles. The class imbalance problem has the effect that almost all the examples are labelled as one class (legitimate editing); while far fewer examples are…

Developments in power electronics have enabled the widespread application of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverters, notably for obtaining electricity from renewable systems. This paper critical review the previous studies in designing stand-alone inverter and modelling the inverter with two control loops to improve and provide a high-quality power of a stand-alone inverter. Multi-loop control techniques…
