Epileptic seizure source identification involves neurologists combing through a substantial amount of data manually, which sometimes takes weeks per patient. This paper presents a methodology for minimizing the amount of data a neurologist has to analyze to identify the seizure focus. The method keeps the neurologist as the final decision maker and aids in the decision making process. It has to be...
Smartgrids of the future promise unprecedented flexibility in energy management. Therefore, accurate predictions/forecasts of energy demands (loads) at individual site and aggregate level of the grid is crucial. Despite extensive research, load forecasting remains to be a difficult problem. This paper presents a load forecasting methodology based on deep learning. Specifically, the work presented...
Machine control using electroencephalography (EEG) based brain computer interfaces (BCI) has been extensively researched in the past decade. However, research is often based on event bound methods such as motor imagery. Despite being useful in medical applications, even bound methods limit users' operational capability while performing BCI control. To alleviate the said limitation, we explore a robot...
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system is largest energy consumer in buildings. Worldwide, buildings consume 20% of the total energy production. Therefore, increasing efficiency of the HVAC system will result in significant financial savings. As one solution, Thermal Energy Storage (TES) tanks are being utilized with buildings to store excess energy to be reused later. An optimal...
Buildings are known to be significant energy consumers throughout the world. Thus, improving the energy efficiency of buildings is a key research goal. However, maintaining occupant comfort while improving energy efficiency in buildings requires close monitoring of the building environment and immediate control actions taken when sub-optimal behavior is identified. Such monitoring requires high frequency...
Building Energy Management Systems (BEMSs) are responsible for maintaining indoor environment by controlling Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and lighting systems in buildings. Buildings worldwide account for a significant portion of world energy consumption. Thus, increasing building energy efficiency through BEMSs can result in substantial financial savings. In addition, BEMSs can...
Resiliency and improved state-awareness of modern critical infrastructures, such as energy production and industrial systems, is becoming increasingly important. As control systems become increasingly complex, the number of inputs and outputs increase. Therefore, in order to maintain sufficient levels of state-awareness, a robust system state monitoring must be implemented that correctly identifies...
Character recognition is an active field of research. Applications include point of sale systems, tablet computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart phones, and military applications. Recognizing Asian characters has been pursued since 1984, and difficulties exist in Japanese due to the complexity and numbers of Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana characters. It is further complicated by differences...
