Dependences between dispersion of maximally reliable estimation of synchronization devices and signal…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in 2019 International Conference on Automation, Computational and Technology Management (ICACTM). A micro-strip patch in-body designed antenna is constructed on pacemaker to monitor and control the pacemaker wirelessly. The antenna is intended for ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band (2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz). A perfect…

In this paper, we present a joint source-channel decoding (JSCD) scheme for image transmission. The binary sequences, resulting from the compression of several number of image blocks using arithmetic coding (AC), are written line-wise in the so called read- matrix (RM). In succession, a systematic Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) encoding is applied to the…

Electrical energy shortage and expensive basic electricity costs are one of the problems that are occurred in Karimunjawa Island, Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to identify the potential of ocean currents energy as one of the alternatives to reduce the problem related to energy needs and to predict the electrical energy that can…

Fatigue is broadly divided into two types depending on the content of a task: physical fatigue and mental fatigue. Mental fatigue is associated with human error. It is thus important to search for indicators that can easily evaluate mental fatigue. The aim of this study is to construct a system that can evaluate mental fatigue…

Combining state-of-the-art additive manufacturing technologies with structural optimization has the potential to produce geometrically complex multi-material components with integrated functionalities and desired structural behavior. In this article, the simulation-driven design process of a multi-material light-weight gripper with an integrated pneumatic bellows actuator is described. The design of the bellows structure is based on a previously…

A systematic study of wide bandgap (WBG) based light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodiodes (PDs) were conducted for the assessment of modular integration of optoelectronic devices into power modules. The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) efficiency of Indium gallium nitride/Gallium nitride (InGaN/GaN) multiple quantum wells (MQWs) material was studied from 10 to 800 K.…

A sequential pre-treatment of demineralization and torrefaction, was carried out on palm empty fruit bunches (EFB). EFB and demineralized EFB (DEFB) were torrefied in a vertical tubular reactor in the temperature range of 200 to 280 °C for 30 mins under nitrogen (flow rate:100 mL/min. The pretreated samples were characterized using proximate and ultimate analyses,…

Hydrogen is the lightest of gases and possesses the lowest density. However at ambient temperature and pressure it occupies a large volume. This necessitates compressing it at high pressures up to 800 Bars to minimize the volume. The immense interest generated by hydrogen comes from the fact that it has the best energy per weight…

On-ramping is being widely used as e method to increase the freeway operational efficiency. The main traffic parameter that must be taken in consideration for the implementation of the feedback control strategies for the on-ramp metering is density on the main section of road.
