In this work, a representative combinational circuit is visualized in various ways. It is abstracted (concretized) from transistor level to gate level and a structure-preserving transition is carried out into a signal flow graph. For creating a signal flow plan it is necessary to swap the nodes and the edges in the signal flow graph.…

This paper describes the design and analysis of a regenerative braking system for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive for electric vehicle (EV) applications. First studied is the principle for electric braking control of a PMSM motor under field-oriented control (FOC). Next, the maximum braking torque in the regeneration mode as well as the…

In recent years, a number of studies have been conducted exploring the potential of digital tour guides, that is, multimedia components (e.g., 2D graphic, 3D models, and sound effects) that can be integrated into digital storytelling with location-based services. This study uses component-based software engineering to develop the content of game-based tourism information services. The…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in conference name. The goal is to propose new fault detection and fault isolation techniques for a polytypic linear parameter-varying system (LPV). In this work, an adaptive observer design is formulated for a given polyquadratic Lyapunov function. Subsequently, new sufficient conditions are given in terms of…

Drug abuse problem is not a new problem, but it is still serious in Hong Kong. The emergence of hidden drug abuse youth has brought more difficulties to them and their parents. The usual ways of providing anti-drug abuse assistance are not sufficient to these types of young people. Intelligent methods have been developed to…

Examples of analytical calculations of the system characteristics of the hardware and time complexity of the correlation system based on a certain number of microphones and the corresponding number of interrelations are presented. The structural solutions of the hardware special processor implementation of such class of multichannel devices for recognition and identification of types and…

To avoid biopsies, doctors use non invasive medical techniques such as the computed tomography. Even that, the detection of the liver remains a big challenge because of the gray level and shape variations which depend on patients and acquisition modalites. In this work, we propose to create a 3D liver model in the training phase…

Solving the Unit Commitment problem (UCP) optimizes the combination of production units operations and determines the appropriate operational scheduling of each production units to satisfy the expected consumption which varies from one day to one month. Besides, each production unit is conducted to constraints that render this problem complex, combinatorial and nonlinear. In this paper,…

In this study, we use a new proposed framework to develop the Hamiltonian circuit learning games for college students. The framework is for enhancing learners’ activities with learning reflexiveness. The design of these games is based on this framework to achieve the targeted learning outcomes. In recent years, the game-based learning is a very popular…

In the current industrial development, an increasing number of sensors is applied for monitoring of any kind of appliances and machines. A predictive mathematical model allows for realistic assessment of the health state of the appliance, indication of service requirements, as well as control of the appliance, serving as so-called digital twin on a control…

This article proposes a new MAC scheme for Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications that dynamically reallocates unused TDMA slots. By maintaining a balanced waiting time, the proposed TDMA based scheduling scheme allocates TDMA slots in a rational way to minimize merging and one-hop neighboring collision. The proposed scheme ensures dynamic reallocation of unused slots by using “time…

Due to the increasing bandwidth requirement of modern wireless communication systems, developing antenna having wider bandwidth have been receiving significant attention in the recent years. In this paper, a comparative analysis of the contacting feed (micro strip line and coaxial probe) and non-contacting feed mechanism (both Aperture Coupling and Proximity Coupling) in micro strip patch…

Chosen-ciphertext attacks (CCA) are typical threat on public-key encryption schemes. We show direct chosen-ciphertext security modification in the case of attribute-based encryption (ABE), where an ABE scheme secure against chosen-plaintext attacks (CPA) is converted into an ABE scheme secure against CCA by individual techniques. Our modification works in the setting that the Diffie-Hellman tuple to…

Log-periodic antennas have high electrical characteristics over a wide frequency range. The large length of the antennas is their significant disadvantage caused by the fact that each active region consisting of several radiators operates in a narrow frequency range. To extend this range, it is proposed to use radiators with concentrated capacitive loads, providing in-phase…

This papers main objective is to create information about microgrid…

This paper addresses the motion planning problem of Reeds-Shepp-type car-like mobile robots moving among static and dynamic obstacles. If the positions and the velocity vectors of the obstacles are known or well estimated, the Velocity Obstacles (VO) method and its non-linear version (NLVO) can be used to plan a collision-free trajectory for a robot in…

Sentiment analysis is one of the most popular information extraction tasks both from business and research prospective. From the standpoint of research, sentiment analysis relies on the methods developed for natural language processing and information extraction. One of the key aspects of it is the opinion word lexicon. Product’s feature from online reviews is an…

A new statistical approach to predict the gain bandwidth of Phoenix-cell based reflectarrays is proposed. It combines the effects of both main factors that limit the bandwidth of reflectarrays: spatial phase delays and intrinsic bandwidth of radiating cells. As an illustration, the proposed approach is successfully applied to two reflectarrays based on new Phoenix cells.

Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) are devices made up of several electrical and mechanical components. They consist of mechanical functions (sensing, thermal, inertial) and electrical functions (switching, decision making) on a single chip made by microfabrication methods. These chips exhibit combined properties of the two functions. The size of system has characteristic dimensions less than 1mm but…
