This work proposes a new unsupervised learning approach to detect and locate the risks “abnormal event” in video scenes using Faster R-CNN and Bidirectional LSTM autoencoder. The approach proposed in this work is carried out in two steps: In the first step, we used a bidirectional LSTM autoencoder to detect the frames containing risks. In…

Concomitant with the ubiquity of lightweight electronic terminals, such as smartphones and tablets, e-books have increased in popularity. However, studies have shown that their display method and information-presentation efficiency need improvement. We investigated visual information processing during reading to develop a more efficient display method that presents information in an easier to see fashion than…

Nowadays, LED lights take an important place in our daily lives and they have known a great growth in indoor as well as in outdoor lighting applications. LED (Light Emitting Diode) light sources including their own drivers have excluded many systems fitted with both inefficient light sources. In this paper we present, a LED driver…

We propose and analyze new impedance matching schemes to enhance applied voltage to an optical modulator and light modulation for a subcarrier multiplexed light transmitter or a radio-on-fiber transmitter that carries radio-frequency signal through an optical fiber. Our proposal includes two methods using a quarter-wavelength impedance transformer and a tapered microstrip line for impedance matching…

The problem of optimal distribution of the current load of a combined heat and power plant with a complex composition of equipment is considered. A multi-criteria approach is proposed for parts of graphs with a constant load in time, considering the factors of economy, reliability and ecology. For sections of the graph with a time-variable…

Navigation of a moving object (drone, vehicle, robot, and so on) and related localization in unknown scenes is nowadays a challenging subject to be addressed. Typically, different source devices, such as image sensor, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Time of Flight (TOF), or a combination of them can be used to reach this goal. Recently, due…

As mobile robots or Automated Guided Vehicles age, and their navigation components wear down, downtime may increase, and therefore robots may lose their path planning capabilities. In such blind-navigation scenarios, we assume robot(s) is programmed to undergo a default random-walk locomotion in a two-dimensional confined workspace with spatially populated obstacles. The robot(s) has only one…

Data stream gained obvious attention by research for years. Mining this type of data generates special challenges because of their unusual nature. Data streams flows are continuous, infinite and with unbounded size. Because of its accuracy, decision tree is one of the most common methods in classifying data streams. The aim of classification is to…

Discover DaVinci is a novel augmented reality system that incorporates blockchain technology with experiential learning to engage participants in an interactive discovery of Leonardo da Vinci’s oeuvre. The software was created by Marko Suvajdzic, first author of this paper, and it was produced at the University of Florida Digital Worlds Institute. In the true spirit…

A transition towards electrification of the public transport sector is ongoing in many cities around the world, as a response to global warming and pollution. However, the question is whether the current state of technology is already sufficient to replace the conventional buses with electric ones and if the existing charging facilities are appropriate to…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is at a face paced growth in the advanced Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 in the modern digital world. Considering the current network security challenges and sophistication of attacks in the heavily computerized and interconnected systems, such as an IoT ecosystem, the need for an innovative, robust, intelligent and adaptive malware…

Gate driver has been applied in many ways, exemplified by that, by using the DC-isolated and AC-pass characteristics of gate driver’s primary and secondary sides, the problem of floating endpoint in semiconductor power switch can be solved. However, the conventional design of isolated gate driver provides circuit voltage blocking by optically coupled components. Due to…

This paper reports the algorithm, the input data and the result of the numeric simulation on the flows of the waves emitted from a rotating object that forms the artificial anti-gravity. First, an object with a heavy mass is placed in the 4-dimensional time and space, which is described by a fundamental tensor. Then the…

Real-world applications modelled by time-dependent dynamical systems with specific properties such as long-range dependence or self-similarity are usually described by fractional Brownian motion. The investigation of the qualitative behaviour of its realisations is an important topic. For this purpose, efficient mappings from realisations of the dynamical system, i.e., time series, to a set of scalar-valued…

Affective states, a dimension of attitude, have a critical role in the learning process. In the educational setting, affective states are commonly captured by self-report tools or based on sentiment analysis on asynchronous textual chats, discussions, or students’ journals. Drawbacks of such tools include: distracting the learning process, demanding time and commitment from students to…

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is routinely used for the therapy of cardiac arrhythmias. Compared with the traditional unipolar ablation, bipolar ablation may improve the controllability of treatment, and prevent side effects and complications caused by catheter ablation. In addition, the variations of myocardial fat’s thickness and myocardial impedance may have significant influence on the performance of…
