Service-oriented architecture has attracted attention in automotive development. The Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) specifies Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP (SOME/IP) as a key middleware for service-oriented communication in-vehicles. However, SOME/IP-based networks are vulnerable to server spoofing during the service discovery phase, enabling attackers to cause man-in-the-middle attacks by impersonating legitimate services. This paper proposes…

In regions like the African equatorial region, where ground-based sensors like ionosondes and incoherent scatter radars are limited, satellite-based radio occultation (RO) observations offer a new alternative for ionospheric data collecting and optimization. Using RO measurements from the mostly newly launched COSMIC-2 (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate-2) mission, hence, the equatorial Africa,…

This manuscript offers an in-depth analysis of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), em- phasizing its crucial role in developing transparent and ethically compliant AI systems. It traces AI’s evolution from basic algorithms to complex systems capable of autonomous de- cisions with self-explanation. The paper distinguishes between explainability—making AI decision processes understandable to humans—and interpretability, which provides…

This paper presents a system that combines speech and pointing gestures along with four distinct hand gestures to precisely identify both the object of interest and parameters for robotic tasks. We utilized skeleton landmarks to detect pointing gestures and determine their direction, while a pre-trained model, trained on 21 hand landmarks from 2D images, was…

Road surface coating using concrete paving block cement has been used for a long time. As an aggregate binding agent, asphalt can be made into paving blocks. Utilizing waste in the recycling process is an activity to control the sustainability of natural resources. Waste Engine Oil and Recycled Concrete Aggregate can be used as road…

The study aimed to create a chronological overview of the royal development projects initiated by King Rama IX and to analyze their spatial distribution patterns. The research used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods such as obtaining data from relevant offices, internet research, and field observations. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics…

Many prosthetic hands are focused on appearance and grip strength, however, gestures are also one of the performances that users need for communicating with others as body language to express their feeling and intention. For this paper, the initial prototype of the gesturing robotics hand is presented by using multiple types of actuators concept to…

Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors are commonly taught in courses for electrical engineers as they are the most common components within integrated circuits. However, despite numerous papers and books on MOSFETs, students still struggle with understanding their behaviour, particularly in the saturation region. This paper presents an expanded explanation of MOSFET behaviour, with a consistent…

Among the development of technology, a large number of medical devices have been implemented in various forms for therapy and treatment. Remote controllability, real-time response, small size, and non-toxicity of the devices are the critically requirement to be operated in the blind, unstructured and fluidic environments of biomedical regions. Untethered soft swimming milli-robots have been…

Medical adherence is a major concern globally and is increasing with improved access to medication. Unfortunately, patients taking multiple medications often struggle with confusion about when and how to take each medication. To address this issue, an inexpensive domestic device has been proposed to improve medication adherence. This device uses Wi-Fi and cellular Internet of…

In the field of micro-LED displays, there is strong demand for red phosphors with high photoluminescence intensity, high color purity, and small particle size. Here, we focus on Eu(III) complexes because they produce sharp photoluminescence spectra with high color purity and can be dissolved in polymer, enabling a reduction in particle size to the molecular…

This work investigated the coupling behavior of the scattered-bend loss in displacement sensor during the bending of the fiber by using a multimode polymer optical fiber (POF). To utilize the scattered-bend effect for displacement measurement, a side coupling technique can be used by twisting a pair of POF fibers and bent the structure into a…

This study presents an “Omnidirectional multi-view image measurement system”, which can be used to provide multi-camera 3D reconstruction and multi-view image information. Its characteristic is that four cameras take images from multiple perspectives in the co-sphere framework. The C0 is the middle camera fixed as the geometric center point of measurement, and provides a front…

Corn is one of the most important agricultural products in the world. However, climate change greatly threatens corn yield, further increasing already prevalent diseases. Northern corn leaf blight (NLB) and Gray Leaf Spot are two major corn diseases with lesion symptoms that look very similar to each other, and can lead to devastating loss if…

In recent years the development of autonomous vehicles has increased tremendously and a variety of methodologies had been applied to make them more safe and secure. This work shows a multilevel approach combining Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis of an autonomous railway system with sociological and technical aspects to support safe operations and human-machine…

Emotion is the most important component of being human, and very essential for everyday activities, such as the interaction between people, decision making, and learning. In order to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, most of the academic institutions relied on online video conferencing platforms to continue educational activities. Due to low bandwidth in many…

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially small and light multicopters driven by electrical motors and batteries, have experienced a boom in applications. The electrical drive system is a central component of these UAVs. This paper introduces the basics of these drives and presents control methods for them using permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs).…

In different areas of industry (mining, food processing, pharmaceutical, manufacturing…), the problem of grain, aggregate and clusters flow arises during the handling activities especially loading and unloading. Thus, the study and control of the parameters that govern the flow of the granular medium and its interaction with its environment are key parameters to achieve the…

In this paper, Compact bandpass filters have been designed. A single bandpass filter was designed using novel triple concentric complementary split-ring resonators placed along the microstrip line in the ground plane. Gaps and via were placed on the microstrip line to control electromagnetic characteristics, resulting in a single bandpass filter. In turn, spiral resonators were…

Traffic road management is becoming more complex due to limited resources and an increasing number of hybrid vehicles. Currently, a number of global classical computing tools are used to manage the traffic road network. This kind of classical computing is resource intensive and expensive, and in the best case, optimizing a traffic network takes a…

Optoelectronic devices applications based on Organic–inorganic perovskites are promising and effective low-cost energy materials due to their exceptional physical properties which include high carrier mobility, high optical absorption coefficient, and long carrier diffusion length. In the presented work, a TiO2/NiO+5% Fe quantum dots (QDs)–doped CsMAFAPbI2Br2 perovskite heterojunction broadband photodetector was fabricated on FTO/glass substrate. The…

Dust is ubiquitous in our daily environment—outdoor and indoor. In modern times, people often spend the majority of their time at home, in offices, at work or in schools. Suspended particles such as tiny crumbs up to long fibers generate indoor dust deposits. Inhouse sources are the interior releasing abraded fibers from carpets, bedding and…

The main purpose in this work is to explore the fact that chaos, as a biological characteristic in the brain, should be used in an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) system. In fact, as long as chaos is present in brain functionalities, its properties need empirical investigations to show their potential to enhance accuracies in artificial…
