With the current emerging development pattern in Malaysia, E-Government has been unveiled by the Malaysian Government to be one of the multimedia super corridor flagship applications to implement digital technology to improve government operations. E-procurement was originally utilized by businesses to minimize turnaround times and prices, but recently it was often used as a platform…

The advent of electric vehicles has changed the face of the automobile industry. The drive system properties of vehicles such as eBikes or electric cars differ fundamentally from those of a diesel engine. The lack of a conventional internal combustion engine has made the vehicles considerably silent. Nevertheless, previously hidden sources of vibration and noise…

Wireless sensor network is highly resource constrained, where energy efficiency and network lifetime plays a major role for its sustenance. As the sensor nodes are battery operated and deployed in hostile environments, either recharging or replacement of batteries in sensor nodes is not possible after its deployment in inaccessible areas. In such condition, energy is…

Fundamentally, the Bidirectional DC/DC converter consists of Buck and Boost modes, which working alternately. Hence, it has two output directions: Buck mode for decreasing the voltage and Boost mode for increasing the voltage at certain levels. In this work, we applied a non-isolated topology of the Bidirectional DC/DC converter for electric vehicle, that is mini…

Many people who have no experience want to make Games. Among them are people who only like to play Games, people who want to make business through Games, and there are also people who really want to make Games. Assume making the game is very difficult and confusing, but forget the many examples that already…

This research aims to enhance the generated power of the small-scaled wind turbine using the eddy current brake system and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control method. We analyzed the behavior of the generated power and power factor, with and without the MPPT control which implemented by eddy current brake system. Also, the feasibility of…

In this paper, the problems of actuator and sensor fault estimation (FE) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) for uncertain nonlinear systems represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models are investigated. First, a robust fuzzy adaptive sliding mode observer (SMO) is designed to simultaneously estimate system states and both actuator and sensor faults. Then, using the obtained on-line…

Fraud calls have a serious impact on telecommunications operator revenues. Fraud detection is very important because service providers can feel a significant loss of income. We conducted a fraud research case study on one of the operators that experienced fraud in 2009 and 2018. Call Detail Record (CDR) containing records of customer conversations such as…

Different types of air-to-air energy recovery technologies such as coil loops, heat pipes, sensible wheels, and total energy wheels are frequently incorporated in HVAC systems in an attempt to reduce energy consumption. This study examines the impact of various types of energy recovery technologies and capacity control strategies on a building’s cooling, heating, and fan…

With a model predictive control approach including boundary analysis and uncertain prediction of activities of different road participants, this paper proposes solutions that support motion control by steering control and appropriate acceleration to create safe motion trajectories for an autonomous vehicle. The motion control support element is determined by the principle of minimal intervention and…

The paper presents a novel control strategy applying the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the scaling weights coefficients of the fuzzy-PID controller for the resistance furnace temperature control system, called PSO-based fuzzy-PID controller/ algorithm.

A high efficiency InAs/GaAs quantum wire solar cell is modelled embedding periodic array of InAs quantum wires (QW) in the intrinsic layer. The promising low dimensional heterostructure such as Quantum Wells, Quantum Wires, Quantum Dots or Dashed (elongated Dots) based intermediate-band-gap solar cells are recently being grasped the attention for ongoing third generation solar cell…

Oscillator phase noise (PN) has a strong impact on the spectral purity of the RF signal in wireless systems and is, therefore, a main challenge when designing a local oscillator. In this paper, we propose a new approach for designing a low PN oscillator based on the Time-Invariant Linear Model of phase noise. It leads…

In this work, we completed a validation of the Varian Clinac IX equipped with the High Definition Multi-Leaf Collimator (HD 120 MLC) instead of the removable jaws, using GATE Monte Carlo Platform version 8.2. We validated the multileaf collimator (MLC) geometry by simulating two dosimetric functions (Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) and Dose Profile (DP)), for…
