The data used in this…

A precise modelling plant system is substantial to improve the design of the DC motor controller, where a low accurate model may cause an unacceptable controller system. This study presents a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system for design a high speed motor data acquisition system (HSMDAQS) and injected collected data (ICD) Simulink model to estimate accurately the…

Caregivers experience lower back pain due to their awkward postures while handling patients. Therefore, a monitoring system to supervise caregivers’ postures using wearable sensors is being developed. This study proposed a postural recognition method for caregivers during postural change while handling a patient on a bed. The proposed method recognizes foot positions and arm movements…

This article is part of the field of Multi-Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA), where several criteria must be considered in decision making. All criteria are generally as varied as possible and express different dimensions, and aspects of the decision problem posed. For more than four decades, several MCDA methods have emerged and have been applied perfectly…

Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH) can be used in many areas of application, including human walking, railways, pavements and bridges. Piezoelectric energy harvesters are currently based on two types of external forces, namely pressure load and mechanical oscillation or vibration. A vibration energy harvesting (VEH) is a mechanical oscillation in a piezoelectric energy harvester that harvested…

Social skills and resilience are very important aspects for mental health; therefore, it is necessary to take into account the positive contribution in the development of adolescents, they are in a vulnerable stage, adapting to physical, mental, emotional, etc. changes. Adolescents, not knowing how to handle the difficulties that may arise, if they do not…

We describe the control design strategy used to control a soft robotic artificial muscle composed of silicone rubber using hand gesture signals. This artificial muscle is actuated with pneumatics, and therefore, the control strategy employed is through the regulation of air pressure within the inner chambers. Using the hand gestures of bringing the hands apart…

The family can be referred to as a basic nucleus of society, where it must be fully formed as a group and guarantee the safety and development of its members. Increasing social inequality affects society and also the families that comprise it. It is a study with a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, descriptive and…

Several challenges like changes in brightness, dynamic background, occlusion and inconsistency of camera position make the recognition of hand gestures difficult in any vision-based method. Diversity in finger shape, size, distribution and motion dynamics is also a big constraint. This leads to the motivation in developing a dense Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) flow based…

Stop and Wait (SW) ARQ, Go Back N (GBN) ARQ, and Selective Repeat (SR) ARQ are the main ARQ (Automatic-Repeat-reQuest) protocols used to ensure reliable delivery of digital data at correct sequence. These protocols are implemented at the DLC (Data Link Control) sub layer of Data Link Layer (DLL) of OSI (Open System Interconnection) network…
