A real world outdoor Line of Sight (LOS) microcellular environment from the Yokusuka city of Japan…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in EIC-2017. It deals with influence of the supply frequency for dissipation factor measurements, mainly for tests under power frequency and low frequency. After a theoretical reminder, we present some experiments on single coils and stators of high voltage motors. Finally, we discuss the results and…

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…

In this work, we propose a new threshold multi split-row algorithm in order to improve the multi split-row algorithm for LDPC irregular codes decoding.

The resolution of the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations by the finite element method is the focus of this paper. These equations are solved in conservative form using, as unknown variables, the so-called conservative variables (density, momentum per unit volume and total energy per unit volume). The variational formulation developed is a variant of the Petrov-Galerkin…

We describe a mathematical model for the industrial heating and cooling processes of a steel workpiece representing the steering rack of an automobile. The goal of steel heat treating is to provide a hardened surface on critical parts of the workpiece while keeping the rest soft and ductile in order to reduce fatigue. The high…

However, its benefits are not limited only in particular applications, whereas radar imaging, mining detection, the biomedical science in the heating of brain cancer tumor and treatment,…

Metal housing has been used extensively on portable communication devices such as on mobile phones and tablets.  The choice of metal housing ranges from metallic rim to metallic back cover.  This metal housing tends to improve the outlook appearance of the mobile devices, and add mechanical strength towards the mobile devices.  However, from the aspect…

The increased motivation (by service providers) to offer user-centric and seamless communication services – that satisfies users’ quality of experience (QoE), has manifested a myriad of challenges in the field of wireless communication; and given the increased traffic capacity and sudden explosion of cellular devices, communication systems are constantly threatened by performance related issues –…

Height estimation of objects is a valuable information for locomotion of autonomous robots and vehicles. Even though several sensors such as stereo cameras have been applied in these systems, cost and processing time have been motivating solutions with monocular cameras. This research proposes two new methods: i) height estimation of objects using only a monocular…

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…

In this paper a novel approach to extract 2D skeleton information (skeletonization) from natural image is proposed.

Here the algorithm is further improved by using a…

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…
