This paper proposes extended-range high-speed control for an IPMSM drive system. A simple real-time tuning flux-weakening control algorithm is proposed and implemented to control an IPMSM drive system in a wide variable speed range, from 3 r/min up to 2700 r/min. This flux-weakening control algorithm does not require any motor parameters and only needs simple…

Over the years, wind loading codes has been a crucial tool in determining design wind loads on buildings.

IEEE 802.11 WLAN indoor networks face major inherent and environmental issues such as interference, noise, and obstacles. At the same time, they must provide a maximal service performance in highly changing radio environments and conformance to various applications’ requirements. For this purpose, they require a solid design approach that considers both inputs from the radio…

In crowdsourcing, selecting the person with suitable expertise is very important; especially since the task requester is not always in direct contact with the worker. Recently, this has become increasingly important particularly when the crowdsourced tasks are complex and require skillful workers (e.g. software development, software testing, vulnerability discovery, and open innovation). In this paper,…

Crime statistics and research on criminology show that under similar circumstances,crimes are more likely to occur in developing countries than in developed countries due to their lack ofsecurity measures. Transport crimes on highways and bridges are one of the most common crimes in the developing nations. Automation of various systems like the toll collection system…

Speaking about the commutation’s equipment, it can be said that the best solution in increasing reliability and lowering the maintenance costs is a continuous monitoring of the equipment. However, if the price/quality ratio is considered, it is obvious that, for the moment, the diagnosis can be also an acceptable solution. Nowadays the predictive maintenance for…

This paper proposes a novel approach to sensor and actuator integrity monitoring in a dynamic system. Multiple sensor and actuator faults can be detected. Furthermore, faulty sensors and actuators are isolated by contribution analysis. Most importantly, fault magnitudes can be correctly estimated and failed sensors or actuators outputs can be reconstructed. The proposed approach is…

In this paper, we propose a revised version of the semantic decoder for multi-label classification task in the spoken language understanding (SLU) pilot task of the Dialog State Tracking Challenge 5 (DSTC5). Our model concatenates two deep neural networks – a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) – for detecting semantic…

Pluggable controllers are a different way to design control constructors such as if, while, do, switch, and operators such as short circuit con-junction (&&) and the “?.” operator of the Swift programming language. Adoption of pluggable controllers enables the final user to modify and extend the control flow constructs (if, while, etc.) of an underlying…

The present article explains the modeling of a Gas Turbine system; the mathematical modeling is based on fluid mechanics applying the principal energy laws such as Euler’s Law, Newton’s second Law and the first thermodynamic law to obtain the equations for mass, momentum and energy conservation; expressed as the continuity equation, the Navier-Stokes equation and…

This paper analyzed wind loading responses of Aluminum Wall cladding panels in Tall Building using Ikeja Lagos State Nigeria. The wind loads were calculated according to Standard and Specification From BS6399-2:1997 Using the wind speed data of Lagos state Nigeria and finite element analysis, we predicted the responses of these Aluminum wall Cladding panels to…

Remote control switching device for household application is a home device used to control the switching of household appliances from a distance. It serves to make the switching of household appliances easy for the elderly, physically challenged, the young and anyone who, in any circumstance, needs comfort and security. This paper develops a remote control…

Cognitive Radio (CR) encompasses a number of technologies which enable adaptive self-programing of systems at different levels to provide more effective use of the increasingly congested radio spectrum. CRs have potential to use spectrum allocated to TV services, which is not used by the primary user (TV), without causing disruptive interference to licensed users by…

The Internet is the premier platform that enable the emergence of new technologies. Online news is unstructured narrative text that embeds facts, frames, and amplification that can influence society attitudes about technology adoption. Online news sources are carriers of voluminous amounts of news for reaching significantly large audience and have no geographical or time boundaries.…

To perform an exploration process over complex structured data within unsupervised settings, the so-called kernel spectral clustering (KSC) is one of the most recommended and appealing approaches, given its versatility and elegant formulation. In this work, we explore the relationship between (KSC) and other well-known approaches, namely normalized cut clustering and kernel k-means. To do…

Aging is a natural process that progressively introduces limitations in a person’s life, which can have dramatic effects on the person’s lifestyle and wellbeing and in most cases is related to the strength of the person’s social bonds with the family and friends group. Therefore, it is important to maintain these bonds in the various…

The matters regarding speech signal processing and analyzing in terms of emotional states recognition were presented in this paper. An experiment was conducted to perform both objective and subjective emotional states recognition tests for Polish language.

In this paper the front-end power solution for automotive ADAS electronic systems is analyzed. The increased complexity of electronic systems in ADAS automotive brings new challenges for hardware design, especially with regard to improving the efficiency of the switched-mode power supply while maintaining the overall cost reasonably low and keeping the occupied area on the…

Electroencephalography (EEG) can globally monitor neural activity in millisecond scale, which is critical for identifying causality of human brain functions and mechanisms. However, to obtain accurate EEG stimulation-response relationship one usually needs to repeat multiple-ten times of stimulation-response recording to average out background signals of other irreverent brain activities, making real-time monitoring difficult to be…
