This article presents a nonlinear model of the continuous weighing conveyor system as considering the delay time of material transport, and then given a novel two-loop control strategy based on PID combined with fuzzy logic: inner velocity control loop and outer mass flowrate control loop. Then, two designed controllers for the velocity and mass flowrate…

Face sketch recognition aims at matching face sketch images to face photo images. The main challenge lies in modality discrepancy between face photo and sketch images. In this work, we propose a new facial sketch-to-photo recognition approach by adopting VGG-Face deep learning network, with which face images can be represented by compact and highly discriminative…

The basic processes like addition, subtraction can be done using various types of binary adders with dissimilar addition times (delay), area and power consumption in any digital processing applications. To minimize the Power Delay Product (PDP) of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) processors is necessary for high performance in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) applications. In…

Consumers of electrical energy have looked more closely to the energy consumption in last years due to the successive increase of the electricity bill. Nowadays it is possible to notice that many consumers have been looking for ways to reduce their consumption or the value of their electricity bill. Such a cost reduction is obtained…

An ultra-wideband (UWB) printed antenna (PMA) powered by a compact coplanar waveguide (CPW) is featured. The propounded antenna is supposed to cover the UWB range from 7 GHz to 10 GHz, with return loss values below -10 dB in the whole frequency range, for X-band applications, often used for dense satellite communications. The 30 x…

In advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) of smart grid, WiFi is an appropriate choice for its bidirectional communication requirement to transmit data to the billing center. But, WiFi functions in the free spectrum bands and LTE also requires to use the same free bands for its network expansion being licensed spectrum is limited and expansive. LTE…

Relation Extraction is an important subtask of Information Extraction that involves extracting significant facts from natural language text. Extracting structured information from the plaintext is the ultimate goal of IE systems. The Indian language content on the internet is increasing day to day. Extracting relevant information from this huge unstructured data is a challenging task…

Food waste disposal and food availability are both problems in the world today. The ability to monitor food waste is currently limited by the use of manual data collection and sparsity of monitoring. Using sensors to automate the process of measuring and collecting data on food waste would allow constant monitoring and provide a better…

A method for coupling of local and global fields related to currents, voltages and magnetic fields in magnetodynamic problems is developed in the frame of the finite subproblem finite element method. The method allows to correct the errors arising from thin conducting regions, that replace volume thin regions by surfaces but neglect border effects in…

In this paper, the impact of interconnection among isolated and dispersed electric power systems have been Investigated and analyzed. Therefore, the methodology proposed in this work is implemented in three real electric power systems in the western part of Saudi Arabia (designated as I, II and III). The outcome of this study revealed positive benefits…

This paper explores the problem of robust synchronization of complex dynamical network with stochastic coupling and time-varying delays through the application of nonfragile control. A well defined Lyapunov Krasovskii functional is established and by employing the widely acknowledged extended Jensen’s integral inequality and the Bernoulli’s distribution sequences, the stochastic nature of network coupling is modeled…

The 5G is the fifth generation of mobile broadband, cellular technologies, and networks that promises a major change in mobility by evolving connected business realities. In such an emerging environment, reliable Service Level Agreements (SLA) and anticipation of breaches of Service Level Objectives (SLO) become compulsory. Thus, guaranteeing the required service quality, while also ensuring…

Network security challenges due to nearly limitless internet connectivity, platform limitations, ubiquitous nodal mobility and huge data transactions is burgeoning by the day and the need for transcend Internet of Things (IoT) based cloud security authentication protocols is on an exponential rise. Even though many secure classic layered security mechanisms are available for implementation, they…

Knowing how and types of talk shows discussed in social media is significant to all stakeholders in a talk show’s program. There are many messages that can be found in social media that need to be noticed so the messages from the user could reach the viewer. Social media provides promising as well as challenging…

Climatic changes have a significant impact on many real life processes. Climacteric position of Albania makes precipitations and water inflows in HPP the main variables influencing the amount of electric energy produced in the country. Taking into account their volatility it has considerably increased the need of using hybrid models to improve the quality of…

TSN is an attractive solution for latency-critical frame transmission built upon IEEE 802 architecture. Traffic scheduling and shaping in TSN aim to achieve bounded low latency and zero congestion loss. However, the most widespread solution (i.e. Time-Aware Shaper) requires a networkwide precision clock reference and only targets on cyclical traffic flows. This paper focuses on…

Modern automobiles have been turning more and more into wireless sensor and communication networks. Accordingly, the number of radio systems is steadily increasing. Due to strict safety requirements, these radio systems need to be tested extensively for functionality and reliability, especially under poor radio channel conditions. Beside the large electrical size of cars at frequencies…

In this paper, behavioral approach has been adopted for the calculation of total power losses that has been further used to derive an analytical model for the conduction and switching losses in a boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) stage of an On-board Charger (OBC).
