We present an inverted pendulum design using readily available V-slot rail components and 3D printing to construct custom parts. To enable the examination of different pendulum characteristics, we constructed three pendulum poles of different lengths. We implemented a brake mechanism to modify sliding friction resistance and built a paddle that can be attached to the…

As a result of rising expectations for quality, the employment of advanced technical requirements for future fifth-generation (5G) new radio is required. The error-correction coding method is one of the most important components of a new generation. The 5G NR New Radio Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, which have been adopted by the 5G standard,…

Like many STEM research projects, the members of the National Science Foundation-funded STEM SEALS project dramatically shifted from in-person delivery of a summer institute to distance-learning with minimal time for preparation. However, the daunting challenge also offered the unique opportunity to apply Design-based Research within an exploratory study to inform and document the progression and…

This research presents a “Multi-camera for pilot’s cockpit measurement system”, which uses four multi-view images to eliminate the instrument and human body shielding and record the touched area. That could record the body reaction time (velocity and acceleration) and trajectory of the tested personnel. Real-time conversion of multi-view images corresponding to the 3D skeletal joint…

The increase of servers in data centers has become a significant problem in recent years that leads to a rise in energy consumption. The problem of high energy consumed by data centers is always related to the active hardware especially the servers that use virtualization to create a cloud workspace for the users. For this…

Many consequences can be resulted in mismanagement of crowd, which might get people injured or even lose their lives. Thus, crowd management helps in controlling overcrowded areas during events, and allowing authorities to monitor, manage and reduce incidents. Space science and technology have made huge leap in crowd management, let alone when this technology integrated…

We present in this contribution the distribution of a global multi-input-multi-output system in a sensor and actuator network. Based on controllability and observability, the global system is decentralized and the system properties are preserved as a result. This results in multiple decentralized local single-input-single-output systems with the same system order as the global system. As…

The aim of the article is to analyze the annual reports on cyber security of Central European countries, i.e. the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, and Austria. The article focuses on the development of the state of cyber security, actors of threats in cyberspace, cyber threats, and the most common types of attacks. The article…

Various interruptions to the daily lives of researchers have necessitated the usage of simulations in projects which may not have initially relied on anything other than physical inquiry and experiments. The programs and algorithms introduced in this paper, which is an extended version of research initially published in ARAIG And Minecraft: A COVID-19 Workaround, create…

The main purpose in this work is to explore the fact that chaos, as a biological characteristic in the brain, should be used in an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) system. In fact, as long as chaos is present in brain functionalities, its properties need empirical investigations to show their potential to enhance accuracies in artificial…

The present work develops an estimator for thermal conductivity using a simple exper- iment implemented in a simulated solid metallic bar. The bar is sectioned in a finite number of segments, lately called nodes, and a discretization of the Fourier heat equation is applied in each node to generate a timed-spaced model of the temperature…

Office buildings commonly use fully glazed façades to reflect a luxurious appearance and to maximize natural light of high solar exposure and high-energy consumption due to cooling and heating. There is a great abundance in constructing shading screens as they are part of the modern movement in field of Energy Conservation, renewable energies, and architectural…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is at a face paced growth in the advanced Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 in the modern digital world. Considering the current network security challenges and sophistication of attacks in the heavily computerized and interconnected systems, such as an IoT ecosystem, the need for an innovative, robust, intelligent and adaptive malware…

This paper reports the algorithm, the input data and the result of the numeric simulation on the flows of the waves emitted from a rotating object that forms the artificial anti-gravity. First, an object with a heavy mass is placed in the 4-dimensional time and space, which is described by a fundamental tensor. Then the…

Quantum logic gates represent certain quantum operations to perform quantum computations. Of those quantum gates, there is a category of classical behavior gates called quantum permutation gates. As a quantum algorithm, quantum permutation pad or QPP consists of multiple quantum permutation gates to be implemented both in a quantum computing system as a quantum circuit…

This paper addresses experiments with Scratch-developed games in the robotics introduction course at the Federal University of Technology – Paraná. It aims at assisting learning of classical and initial robotics concepts. This proposal, similar to the classic 80s war tanks game on Atari 2600, was developed using an autonomous vehicle. In the first experiment, applied…

Virtual reality (VR) is finding applications in a wide range of industries; however, a significant number of users find VR experience considerably different from the real-world experience. To match the real-world experience, the VR experience should look real, should be immersive, and be in line with the users’ anticipation. Achieving realism in the virtual representation…

This paper is an extended version of the work presented at a conference held in Kyiv, Ukraine, in October 2020, which reported the result of the numeric simulation on the artificial antigravity. This paper further describes the derivation of the idea of the artificial antigravity, and adds the simulation of angular momentum that is needed…

Human have the god gifted ability to focus on the essential part of a visual scenery irrespective of its background. This important area is called the salient region of an image. Computationally achieving this natural human quality is an attractive goal of today’s scientific world. Saliency detection is the technique of finding the salient region…

Robotic arms or industrial robots are a machinery that is widely used in the medical and military industries because it is a flexible, highly accurate and reliable.
