This paper presents the design and fabrication of an electromagnetically actuated PCB-based resonating scanning micro-mirror for LiDAR applications, with optimization targeted towards low-cost fabrication and a high scanning angle. Traditional silicon MEMS-based micro-mirrors, while offering high precision and compatibility with CMOS processing, are limited by fragility at low scanning frequencies and costly fabrication processes. To…

Skin cancer stands among some of the fastest growing and fatal malignancies of the world as a result early and accurate diagnosis of skin cancer is essential in order to enhance patient survival and treatment prognosis. Conventional methods of diagnosis including dermoscopy and histopathological examinations are expensive and time consuming also subject to inter-observer error.…

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…

Heart rate (HR) is a critical indicator in fitness monitoring, athletic performance evaluation, and injury prevention. However, traditional motion-sensitive wearable devices are highly susceptible to movement artifacts, which degrade measurement accuracy during physical activity. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) offers a non-contact alternative for HR measurement, though it too remains sensitive to motion. This study proposes a…

Neural Networks derives intelligent systems and modern autonomous applications. With the complexity introduced in today’s systems, designing architectures remains open research problem in all fields. Despite many efforts to generalize, the resources required by neural architectures remain challenge. Robots design, Smart cities, IoTs …etc. become the leading industry and driving the fourth industrial revolutions. All…

The accumulation and analysis of large-scale patient data have led to breakthrough discoveries in potential flags for diseases based on pattern recognition, highlight medication efficacy, and local population health trends that would be impossible with traditional paper-based records. However, these benefits come with unique challenges posed by the application of data sharing for research and…

This study investigated the influence of a biomass additive on the thermal performance of the inner liner of fired-clay cook-stoves. Fired-clay cook-stoves are essential cooking devices, particularly in areas with limited access to modern energy resources. The study aimed to enhance the thermal efficiency of the cook-stoves by incorporating rice husk into the inner liner…

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression by binding to and degrading targeted mRNAs. miRNAs targeting a specific mRNA have a region known as the “seed sequence”, which typically has a high affinity for its complementary sequence in the targeted mRNA. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are mutations…
