Configuration management tools, CMTs for short, are a set of indispensable software for DevOps (Development and Operations). CMTs automate system deployment and configuration through CMT modules, which are reusable, shareable units of configuration code. Therefore, thousands of CMT modules have been developed for various systems, and are still growing fast. Although CMT repositories usually provide...
Design a scientific and reasonable Car styling is the first task of car development. These should be in accordance with the public appreciation of the beauty. The SUV car styling evaluation research is based on the user's demands, using Kansei Engineering research method, contrast with sensual word index, The results of the SUV model evaluation index weight of various indicators calculated by minimum...
The administration of hot spring in Taiwan has collected and checked the data of hot spring level these years. Unique temperature and quality of the hot spring usually caused the device recorded and missing data. The data analysis used the gray theory in order to supplement the data of hot spring level.
Outdoor sports equipment without maintenance usually caused injury to users. This paper proposes to design an App notification system combine with IoT to monitor the equipment status. We converted our action signal into frequency domain for analysis. But the useless signal might decline classifier efficiency. Therefore we propose an empirical support vector machine (SVM) to reduce the useless signal...
This paper proposes an enhanced decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) systems over offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) based on a minimal mean square error (MMSE) criterion. For each subcarrier, besides one feedforward (FF) filter and one feedback (FB) filter, we add two intercarrier interference (ICI)-suppressing filters, which feed back detected precursors...
The Ultra-DIMM constituted by DRAM and Flash memory is a promising solution used to tackle the challenges existing in traditional DRAM in terms of energy consuming and scalability. In this hybrid memory system, DRAM is used as the data buffer of Flash memory due to the performance and endurance gaps between main memory and Flash. However, the inconsistency of access granularity between the main memory...
Electrical current-voltage characteristics of sputtered ZrO2 thin films showing resistance change were examined in this study. The conduction and switching currents were compared on samples with top electrode of 150, 250, and 350 μm in diameter. The size independence of current magnitude implied the presence of an uneven filamentary path over the electrode area. The effect of current compliance was...
The accuracy of the image is dependent on the quality parameters of camera. The camera parameters is obtained from the target calibration of the test bench in past. Recently, the image processing software can be dealt with the target-free calibration by internal programming. In this research, the images of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are examined by two types of processes, target calibration and...
The demand/supply balance in a power grid faces great challenges as more and more renewables are integrated into the system. Fluctuations in the power supply increases spectacularly owing to the uncertain nature of renewables. In this case, it has been widely recognized that the conventional scheme of supply following load is neither economically efficient nor environmentally friendly. On the contrary,...
Pointwise matches between two time series are of great importance in time series analysis, and dynamic time warping (DTW) is known to provide generally reasonable matches. There are situations where time series alignment should be invariant to scaling and offset in amplitude or where local regions of the considered time series should be strongly reflected in pointwise matches. Two different variants...
In this paper, a wireless electroencephalography (EEG) acquisition analog front-end (AFE) circuit design is presented. The wireless EEG acquisition system includes an analog front-end readout chipset (AFERC) with extendable channel, a low-power MSP430 microcontroller from Texas Instruments and a commercial Bluetooth 2.0 module (BTM). The front-end readout chipset not only applies the ability of noise...
This paper presents a patch-based synthesis framework for lightfield image editing. The core of the proposed method builds upon a patch-based optimization approach. The main contribution of the paper is to extend the versatile patch-based image editing framework to 4D lightfield images and enable many editing applications for them. Specifically, the paper introduces a novel 4D lightfield patch consistency...
In recent years, the rapid development of intelligent dietary planning mobile systems, combined with the cloud technology, provides more intuitive and convenient experience for users on the diet recording and suggestion. However, this mobile-cloud structure will cause the privacy issue. Unlike the past researches which mainly focus on the user interface, response speed and suggestion accuracy, we...
For advance node such as 14nm technology and beyond, back end of line interconnect has implemented self-aligned via (SAV) schemes for better via-metal short process window [1]. A TiN metal hard mask (MHM) is used for the trench pattern definition, after which via lithography and partial via (PV) etch is performed where the TiN was opened. The via etch condition has very good selectivity so that via...
A traditional context-aware energy-saving system is often re-active, which means the decision of the system is made purely based on the currently available contexts of the users in the sensed environment. However, the advances in internet-of-things (IoTs) enable the potentials of leveraging predictive contexts to facilitate proactive energy-savings services. Therefore, this paper proposed hybrid context...
The automated tool trajectory planning of painting robot is still a challenging problem, especially for free-form parts. Because the current paint deposition rate function is too complicated, the paint accumulation on a surface is proposed. In order to achieve the new spraying operation standards, the paint thickness function for free-form surfaces is also given. A multi-objective constraint optimization...
Recently, research has been conducted to explore the prediction schemes to identify the severity of bug reports. Several text mining approaches have been proposed to facilitate severity prediction. However, these studies mainly focus on the textual information of the bug reports. Other attributes of the bug reports have not been comprehensively discussed. In this paper, we investigate the influences...
In this paper, according to the requirements of university volleyball sport performance assessments, a grey incidence model is developed to analyze the influence factors of university volleyball teams' performance based on the characteristics of the university volleyball teams. Then, the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method is used to compute the weights of each assessment criterion of university...
In this paper, we propose to use local feature set for image representation, which can represent variations in an object's appearance due to changing viewpoint or camera pose. It was evidenced that usually only a part of the object are appeared in common when taking a photo of an object in different view points. With comparison of local features set extracted from different positions of images, an...
Incremental principal component analysis (IPCA) has been of great interest in computer vision and machine learning. In this paper, we introduce a new incremental learning procedure for principal component analysis (PCA). The proposed method can keep an accurate track of the mean of the data, and can deal with a set of new observed data in batch each time in subspace updating. Furthermore, a weighting...
