The purpose of this research is to obtain a closed form solution for the finish time taking into consideration the adverse effect of the fault for both Single Installment and Multi-Installment with FIFO(First In, First Out) and LIFO(Last In, First Out) result allocation. The System under consideration in this research is a system that utilizes for job scheduling a Divisible Load scheme that entails...
Accident impact analysis helps to minimize losses such as death, injuries and property damage due to vehicle collision on road. An efficient impact analyzer is capable of accumulating and processing large amount of data very quickly. Hardware and software both plays important role to collect, process and store large amount of data within a very short period of time. MEMS accelerometers are cost effective...
This paper presents improved Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system based on Single Pass Connected Component Labeling (CCL). This research describes an ALPR system which is capable of distinguishing license plates under various conditions, such as distance from the camera, rotation angle between camera and vehicle (0° to +/−45°) and also poor illumination contrast condition (different weather...
People like listening music primarily due to the emotion it evokes. Any activity or work that a person performs also generates emotions. Considering the above two statements it can assume that people tend to associate music with certain activity if it induces emotions that are in sync with it. In today's world of infinite storage, the number of songs that a user has is ever increasing. With the increased...
This paper presents a digital watermarking algorithm supporting large-size image, the amount of information embedded is based on the characteristics of the host image and the watermarking image. We use pseudo-random encoder to determine the location of embedding information and the watermarking. The method of processing the embedded information and carrier information is discrete cosine transform...
In this paper, we describe a sensor-based device for suture-manipulation tension measurement for surgical purposes. The main purpose of this device is to protect the surgeon from applying the excessive force in making suture knots for any kind of surgery. This excessive tension might lead to skin rupture, tissue damage, and suture cut, etc. It is a simple device that can be used to train the new surgeons...
IT convergence based applications rely on an amalgamation of different technologies to provide various functionalities. In designing such applications, the primary focus is on integrating the appropriate technologies to deliver the required functionalities and services. While the functional requirements drive this process, sufficient care needs to be provided to non functional requirements (NFRs)...
The purpose of this research is to determine the viability and theoretical performance of a task distribution scheme utilizing Multi-Installment Load Distribution with Results Collection based on Distributed Load Theory (DLT), and some of the challenges that would be encountered, and criteria that need to be considered when attempting to utilize such a scheme. This is done by providing, for the first...
This paper addresses challenges in managing complex automotive powertrain control systems by employing a heuristic method to determine complex setpoints. Two main areas of focus are the fuzzy determination of the driver characteristics and the gear selection for discrete automatic transmissions. The driver characterization determines how aggressive or docile a driver is and has a weighted impact on...
The Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) synthesis is optimized using Genetic Algorithm (GA) for many types of ASICs including microprocessors, datapaths and ASIC floor plan layout. The implementation methodology of GA is developed after implementing several GA-based Datapath synthesis algorithms. The methodology is found to be very effective in Datapath synthesis problems. Global optimization...
