Requirement for pole-changing motors emerged at the very early times of asynchronous motor design. Different solutions have been elaborated and some of them are generally used. One of these solutions in use is the so called pole phase modulation method. The so called 3 Y / 3 Y pole-changing winding being subject of this paper…

The abilities of human brain to discover solutions for many problems is a great gift that motivate the scientists to develop the revolution of the artificial intelligence and using it in many areas. This paper proposed an intelligent chessboard which works in a way that similar to the human brain that predicts the next positions…

A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is a digital model representing the earth ‘s surface topography in three dimensions (3D) while a Digital Surface Model (DSM) represents the whole terrain including the objects on it such as trees and buildings. DTMs can be created through stereo-plotting. The advantage of this method is that the 3D data…

The number of smart devices inside the living environments grows more and more every day, and with it the need to interface them in order to share data and activate functions. Each day, new scenarios and new applications emerge to make our lives easier in many different contexts. The AAL SOCIALIZE project aims to create…

Noise defined as ‘a sensation of unwanted intensity of a wave’, is perception of a pollutant and a type of environmental stressor. The unwanted intensity of a wave is a propagation of noise due to transmission of waves (viz. physical agents) such as light, sound, heat, electricity, fluid and fire. The characterization of noise interference,…

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…

Reverse logistics activities are widely used application to preserve the environment in many developed countries from e-waste problem. Due to lack of public awareness in many emerging countries, implementation of reverse logistics program must be initiated by government. Besides that, reverse logistics practices often fail to balance among profit target achievement, the environmental conservation, and…

The object of this paper is to identify the unknown electrical parameters of solar photovoltaic generators in real time, through the application of a novel suggested hybrid method. The identification process is discussed with details, about the four steps of identification. In this issue, the first step describes the experimental data acquisition work done to…

Doubly fed asynchronous machines have an outstanding property: they can be operated up to twice rated speed delivering full rated torque. This paper presents, for the first time in the literature, a control system for multiphase asynchronous machines fed by Voltage Source Inverters (VSIs) both in stator and rotor that incorporates the harmonic torques. The…

Stream cipher can be used in constrained environments to provide information security and reduce energy expense at data transmission. In this paper, it is shown that Reed-Solomon (RS) code can be used to implement stream cipher, which is widely used for error corrections of data in transmission and storages. The proposed stream cipher combines the…

Moderate exercise has been implemented in spaceflight programs to prevent muscle and joint damage under extreme circumstances such as microgravity. Although the physical effects of exercise have been investigated experimentally, advanced modeling and simulation techniques are powerful tools that could provide insight into the physical limitations, optimal conditions, and mechanisms that might lead to muscle…

A selective harmonic elimination system using fuzzy logic for the elimination of high magnitude harmonics with frequencies close to fundamental in the output voltage of single phase inverters is presented. The system does not require look up tables for storage of the data as in traditional harmonic elimination methods. The input of the fuzzy system…

Multicore processor combines two or more independent cores onto one integrated circuit. Although it offers a good performance in terms of the execution time, there are still many metrics such as number of cores, power, memory and more that effect on multicore performance and reduce it. This paper gives an overview about the evolution of…

The principal goal of this paper is the development of the experimental software solution for the extraction of dimensional unit from the uncalibrated image. Existing techniques are analyzed and also partially utilized in presented approach as an aid in the extraction process. The design of two different approaches was proposed, these were later implemented and…

Adaptive education systems (AES) are considered one of the most interesting research topics in technology-based learning strategies. Since students have different abilities, needs and learning styles, we should fit the curriculum and teaching activities to these different learning styles. This study investigates the impact of using LAES (Libyan Adaptive Education System) on the performance of…

Multitenancy isolation is a way of ensuring that the performance, stored data volume and access privileges required by one tenant and/or component does not affect other tenants and/or components. One of the conditions that can influence the varying degrees of isolation is when locking is enabled for a process or component that is being shared.…

During microwave heating of materials, the efficiency of microwave heating depends on the materials’ dielectric property, shapes and sizes of the material, materials’ position inside the applicator, operating frequency, level of input power, specific heat capacity, number and position of waveguide over the applicator, size and geometry of applicator etc. This paper examines the effects…

Currently the use of distributed energy resources, especially renewable generation, and demand response programs are widely discussed in scientific contexts, since they are a reality in nowadays electricity markets and distribution networks. In order to benefit from these concepts, an efficient energy management system is needed to prevent energy wasting and increase profits. In this…

This application developing for the project OCEMA comes as result of architecture building in Android, then the development of a professional modeling in Talend Open Studio for Big Data, which enabled the integration of data from many data sources. One of its uses is the quick identification of people found in areas affected by natural…

Patient generated data, or personal clinical data, is considered an important aspect in improving patient outcomes. However, personal clinical data is difficult to collect and manage due to its distributed nature. For example, they can be located in multiple places such as doctors’ offices, radiology centers, hospitals, or some clinics. Another factor that can make…
