Line start permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM) is one of the highest efficiency motors due to no rotor copper loss at synchronous speed and self-starting. LSPMSM has torque characteristics of both induction motor IM and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor-PMSM. Using Genetic Algorithm (GA) for balancing magnetic cost and for copper loss minimization, the magnetic sizes…

In futures markets, a single asset is generally represented by several contracts with different maturities. The selection of specific contracts is an inevitable task that also creates new opportunities, especially in terms of speculative trading. Evaluating immediate and upcoming trading costs for all considered contracts might lead to a significantly improved performance. Among that, even…

Circadian rhythms undergo high perturbations due to cancer progression and worsening of metabolic diseases. This paper proposes an original method for detecting such perturbations using a novel thoracic temperature sensor. Such an infrared sensor records the skin temperature every five minutes, although some data might be missing. In this pilot study, five control subjects were…

Vehicle analysis is a very useful component in various real world applications. In this paper, we have developed a Vehicle Make and Model Recognition (VMMR) system using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and Speed-Up Robust Transform (SURF) are used to extract local features from an image. Bag-of-Features (BoF) model is used…

The track circuits are very important equipments used in the railway transportation system. Today these are used to send vital information, to the running train, in the same time with the integrity checking of the rail. The actual track circuits have a small problem due to the use of the same transmission medium by the…

Many decision problems have more than one objective that need to be dealt with simultaneously. Moreover, because of the qualitative nature of the most of real world problem it is an inevitable activity and very important to interpret and present the uncertain information for making effective decision. The Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach which is one…

Cloud computing is a power platform to deal with big data. Among several software frameworks used for the construction of cloud computing systems, Apache Hadoop, which is an open-source software, becomes a popular one. Hadoop supports for distributed data storage and the process of large data sets on computer clusters based on a MapReduce parallel…

A company’s ability to find the most profitable technology is based on a precise forecast of achievement potential. Technology Management (TM) uses forecasting models to analyse future potentials, e.g. the Gartner Hype Cycle, Arthur D. Little’s technology lifecycle or McKinsey’s S-curve model. All these methods are useful for qualitative analysis in the planning of strategic…

In this paper considered the movement of multi-agent system that consists of several UAVs that carry out monitoring ground surface. The multi-agent system includes a lead agent and several agents-members of the group. The motion of this system occurs along a trajectory, which is determined by the initial conditions, its mathematical model and obstacles on…

The research in Neuro-Prosthetics is gaining more significance and popularity as the advancement in prosthetics control allows amputees to perform even more tasks. Indeed, the improvement of classification accuracy is a challenge in prosthetics control. In this research, a system is developed in order to improve the multiclass classification rate. Two classifiers namely Artificial Neural…

Greenhouse cultivation is easy to keep up and control important factors such as light, temperature, and humidity. Using of sensors and actuators in the greenhouse to capture different values allows for the control of the equipment, it can also be optimized for growth at optimal temperature and humidity of various crops planted. We use wireless…

Classification of EEG signals in self-paced Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) is an extremely challenging task. The main difficulty stems from the fact that start time of a control task is not defined. Therefore it is imperative to exploit the characteristics of the EEG data to the extent possible. In sensory motor self-paced BCIs, while performing…

In this paper, a spatial modulation (SM) which provides no synchronization between the transmitting antennas and avoids inter-channel interference (ICI) at the receiver input while maintaining high spectral efficiency is applied to filtered-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (F-OFDM) transmission. The SM technique maps a block of information bits into two information carrying units, namely, a symbol…

The discussed system in this paper uses the Kinect’s 3D input (acquired through IR projector and Camera) to detect gestures and then based on these gestures perform certain tasks, and display certain results on an output screen. The programming language used here is the Processing open source software and a database was implemented to manage…

Data visualization is an effective tool for communicating the results of opinion surveys, epidemiological studies, statistics on consumer habits, etc. The graphical representation of data usually assists human information processing by reducing demands on attention, working memory, and long-term memory. It allows, among other things, a faster reading of the information (by acting on the…

Traditional CT in our industry has been limited to Business card sized samples, due to the Cone Beam x-ray systems used by Electronics manufacturing companies. Inclined or Partial CT provides a slightly different solution showing layers or slices in 2D very well, but due to the partial nature of the scans does not produce very…
