In recent years, malls containing a concentration of shops and restaurants flourished in cities all over the world. This concentration is the cause of problems in parking spaces and traffic jams. This paper introduces a parking management system using mobile application to address the parking problems in malls. The contribution in this system is two folds. The hardware part which consists of custom-made...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a system of integrated applications used to have full insight over the resources of an enterprise in terms of goods, employees and customers. On the other hand, artificial neural networks are becoming a necessity in applications that require artificial intelligence. A marriage between these two concepts would yield a system capable of storing and displaying dashboards...
As block ciphers, public key cryptosystems operate on groups of plaintext characters, called blocks. Character grouping enhances efficiency and security. However, the encryption functions, which are one-way trapdoor functions defined over finite fields, restrict the sizes of the blocks. In this paper, implementations of conventional RSA and ElGamal cryptosystems together with implementations using...
This paper presents a novel approach to compare a smoothed first-order Integral Sliding Mode Controller with a second generation CRONE Controller in the frequency domain. Sliding mode control is a nonlinear control technique based on variable structure control offering insensitivity to modeling parameters variations and disturbance rejection. The chattering problem caused by high frequency switching...
This paper presents a Face Detection System with Expression Recognition using Artificial Neural Networks. It is an automated vision system designed and implemented using MATLAB. The Face Detection with Expression Recognition system accomplishes facial expression recognition through two phases. The captured image is processed first to detect the face, and then the facial expression is recognized. These...
Nowadays, satellite TV is one of the most spread services. Satellite TV requires a receiver and a satellite dish which must be pointed to a certain satellite in the sky. Dish pointing is a tricky process that requires the presence of a technician. This makes satellite TV impractical and problematic for people who live on caravans or do long road trips, for they are forced to stick with terrestrial...
Breast feeding is the best way to nourish and bring up a healthy baby; however, due to Postpartum Mood Disorders affecting the mother and due to the hectic life that makes her be an affective member in the work force, such a task may pose some inconveniences. The proposed solution is the Automated Baby Bottle for feeding babies of ages 1-3 years. This project is desired to execute the task of feeding...
Cryptography is used to protect information content communicated over a network from being accessed by adversaries. This is achieved by transforming (encrypting) plain text before transmission in such a way so that its contents can only be disclosed upon application of a reverse transformation (decryption). Transformations often involve some key used in the process. This paper focuses on estimating...
In this paper, a Smart Assistive Navigation System for Blind and Visually Impaired Individuals is designed and implemented to secure a safe and low-cost navigation. Blind navigation systems are many, but very few are those that are completely successful in addressing the requirements of blind individuals to navigate safely, comfortably, and independently. Thus, some projects of the state-of-the-art...
Different control analysis and design methods exist using either time domain or frequency domain. This paper explores the robustness of four control techniques, two using the frequency domain (PID and CRONE — French acronym of Commande Robuste d'Ordre Non Entier) and two using the time domain (State-feedback and SMC — Sliding Mode Control). All four techniques are applied on a position control for...
The ultrasonic range meter measures the distances separating obstacles from a reference point based on ultrasonic waves. Like the LIDAR (Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging), this project is desired to measure the distance as well as the laser angle in order to localize the surrounding objects. Unlike LIDAR and all available range meters, this new low cost design can measure the distances using one...
As the human technology moved further, the risk of natural and man induced catastrophes increase exponentially. One of the most dangerous disasters is fires. In addition to its direct danger on human's lives, fire consumes forests where trees that provide humans with oxygen are destroyed. The risk of fire has increased due to the problem of global warming which appeared in the 1980s. Forest fires...
Load balancing is crucial in integrating renewable power from large wind turbines into the existing grid. This is due to the fact that the output power of the wind turbines is affected by the wind's speed. One solution to connect a large wind turbine with the electrical grid is to create a dump load that is responsible for dissipating extra power generated by the wind energy. This paper presents a...
The smart assistive accident free wheel chair system is designed to give a chance for paralyzed patients to move freely within their surroundings. Like the case of any other automated wheelchair, the patient will not exert any effort to move the chair. In the proposed design, the patient will control his chair by simple verbal commands being analyzed by a built-in speech recognition system. Moreover,...
Detecting lies is crucial in many areas, such as airport security, police investigations, counter-terrorism, etc. One technique to detect lies is through the identification of facial micro-expressions, which are brief, involuntary expressions shown on the face of humans when they are trying to conceal or repress emotions. Manual measurement of micro-expressions is hard labor, time consuming, and inaccurate...
Traffic is a critical problem that negatively impacts national economies and the daily life of most people. Moreover, car thefts and parking lots difficulties raise the need for a system that solves these problems and facilitates the daily activities. The proposed solution is the Radio Frequency Car Identity (RF Car ID) system. This system reduces the traffic jam caused by routine license and registration...
This paper expounds on the design and the implementation of the intelligence (vision and brain) of an autonomous robot for landmines localization, specifically anti-tank mines, cluster bombs, or unexploded ordnance. The landmine sweeping technique under study utilizes state-of-the-art techniques in digital image processing for pre-processing captured images of the area being scanned. After enhancing...
The active magnetic bearing (AMB) presents a solution for all the technical problems of the classical bearing since it ensures the total levitation of a body in space eliminating any mechanical contact between the rotor and the stator. The goal of our work is to show the control efficiency of a magnetic sustention, characterized by its nonlinear model, using neural networks (NN). In this paper a study...
