The detection process’s accuracy is ensured by setting an appropriate segregation approach and…

Accurate machining control is indispensable for the smart factories of tomorrow. Variations in controller responses may cause unacceptable process deviations during machining leading to productivity losses and possible damage. In the present work, a complex order PIα+jβDγ+jθ(COPID) controller was designed to effectively control surface roughness generation while machining CNT Al-Mg hybrid composites. Performance of the…

In this paper, a portable Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system was designed and implemented for human movements and breathing detection. The radar operates with a frequency band ranges from 4.7 to 4.9GHz. The radar sub-systems were designed and simulated using up to date computer-aided-design tools before implementation. The Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO), high…

This paper showcases our previous and continuously improving development at Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) and partners in designing and further enhancing the existing Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (LPLS) and Improved Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (ILPLS) to the new Smart Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (Smart LPLS) with non-invasive jaundice monitoring for newborns with Neonatal Jaundice (NNJ).…

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…

After studying the aviation problems in Iraq, on one hand, and because Iraq has various weather characteristics due to its different terrains (i.e. mountains, plain fields, and deserts). We discussed these problems with pilots and aviation specialists, and came to the conclusion that the main offset faced is vision deficiency is foggy and dusty weather.…

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a potentially common sleep disorder manifested in upper airways’ collapse, either partially or completely. If diagnosed late and untreated, it may result in serious complications. The standard golden method, useful for treating OSA, remains the full night Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). Yet, due to the ensuing discomfort it incurs…

Visualization plays an important role in teaching and learning. The ability of the learner to grasp the visual contents are better than that of textual contents. Traditional teaching methods often revolved around instructions and recitation techniques. However, most of these approaches were dormant and did not call for active learning. The proposed AGDO- Analyze, Group,…

As manufacturing efficiency has become a main focus of today’s business, it is very critical to surge the throughput by developing different test strategies. With throughput, testing cost also has been recognized as the major challenge in the future of leading semiconductors. Reducing test time is a significant effort to maximize throughput as the complexity…

Cloud computing is the development of information technology to provides resources that can be accessed through network. Security and privacy in cloud computing are major concern for companies. Therefore, cloud computing architecture strategy and design are needed to reduce costs and ensure the security of company assets in cloud computing. In this study, we are…

The study aims to demonstrate how the use of the design process can align a brand’s strategy with the interests of its target audience through a digital product based on a case study. Currently, Lexus internal studies show that there is a possibility to meet the needs of new audiences, beyond the traditional ones (men,…

In this paper we design a large scale reconfigurable digital bio-inspired computing model. We consider the reconfigurable and event driven parameters in the developed field-programmable neuromorphic computing system. The various Intellectual Property (IP) cores are developed for the modules such as Block RAM, Differential Clock, Floating Point, and First In First Out (FIFO) for the…

To cultivate creative talent, ways to learn creative problem-solving skills is needed, and one of them is programming. Arduino is a well-known tool used for programming education and the usefulness has been demonstrated in various case studies. However, there are several problems in existing Arduino-compatible kits as education tools, including the need for understanding hardware…

The dog is one of the first animals domesticated by human, and for thousands of years, it has been artificially bred into hundreds of types in order to provide certain traits that humans want. Nowadays, the selection of dogs by potential adopters has become a problem due to the availability of different type of breeds…

This study utilized aerial panoramic photography and 3D virtual reality to demonstrate the environmental changing issues. Environmental problems have occurred in the surroundings for a long time, but the public has gradually become numb. The wide view through aerial photography helps to show the difference. The proposed self-assembled drone equipped with an antishock bracket containing…

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is an important component for industrial automatic engineering operation. Hence, the need to comprehend its basis of operation becomes an inevitable task. Some of the problems is industrial PLC is an expensive, pre-built hardware kit, acquisition of programming software and its requisite programming competence is a challenge. Thus, this paper…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) include a large number of sensor nodes that are connected to each other with the limitations in energy sources, battery life, memory, mobility and computational capacity. Since the traditional layered architecture was appropriate only for the wired network. It works within a strict boundary that leads to more energy usage as…

Insect robots are always amazed by humans due to their ability to fly using a wing flapping mechanism. The butterfly robot was designed in this research based on aerodynamics and aeroelastic especially for designing a flapping mechanism due to its complexity. A butterfly wing structure was designed by considering aerodynamics forces based on assumptions. Aerodynamic…

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…
