This paper presents a monocular vision-based range estimation of on-road vehicles approach. The proposed approach mainly combines non-drivable region from drivable region detection for detection region estimation instead of detecting the whole image, shadow detection for on-road object extraction, vehicle structure points estimation and adjusting for on-road vehicle classification, and motion vector...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia which affects individuals of elderly. Reports indicated that there is an increase of AD cases in aged societies. The real causes of AD remain mysterious where the current medication can only be used to delay, not to cure, the disease. Our research aims to study the disease by giving a preliminary evaluation of the brain status of the patient...
At present, building energy conservation is a hot topic in urban construction and energy conservation research. Predicting the trend of energy consumption is very meaningful for a whole building energy management. Compared with the other feed-forward neural networks, RBF network learning faster and the ability of function approximation is stronger, but its performance still need to be improved. We...
Aiming at the problem of the driving and parking difficulties in the more and more complicated urban traffic, the double signal double display (DSDD) intersection vehicle terminal system is proposed for parking navigation. This system is to use the intelligent terminal, vehicle terminal, and vehicle of internet (VOI) and to realize the parking information interaction. In addition, in order to improve...

This design mainly aims to apply in residential buildings or areas, and it uses digital image processing technology...
The energy problem has gained great attention from the public in recent years. To construct a building energy consumption monitoring system is an effective way to find out the situation of the building energy consumption and go forward to make better decisions to solve the energy problem. Many related technologies and methods have been proposed, and this paper will focus on the data organization of...
This paper presents the high power buck-boost converter with accurate perturbation & observation maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for wind energy conversion system (WECS). For fast varied of wind speed and pitch angle, the MPPT converter should work with fast response and wide range. This paper bring up a step up/down DC-DC converter to reach the goal and prove this circuit and control...
Due to the national subsidy policy and the demand of energy, photovoltaic power generation is growing at a rapid rate all over the world. When new PV installations connect to utility grid, some problems, such as reactive power compensation, voltage stability and power quality, are around the corner. This paper presents a grid-connected PV simulation system with D-STATCOM. By using Matlab/Simulink...
In certain large scale wireless sensor networks, massive tiny sensors are deployed in a big area. For systems at this scale, it is difficult to setup sensors individually. In other words, a higher system level approach is required to perform sensor deployment and study overall energy consumption. Sensors need to be produced, configured, deployed, maintained, analyzed, and replenished as groups. One...
As the economic globalization is growing more mature, the three main management systems of quality, environment and occupational safety and health have already been a standard mode in which enterprises carry on the internationalization management. However, it shall help to reduce the repetitive managements, greatly promote the efficiency of standardization management, easily implement the networking...
This article introduces the background of the design and a unique idea of PCI interface circuit at first. The circuit mainly focuses on the Linux-based driver by introducing interrupt. Then the paper describes the compilation and installation of driver and interruptions which include requesting, handling, and releasing. At the same time, the application of PCI interrupt in data acquisition card is...
A multi-phase switching scheme for paralleling power systems is presented. It can operate without current sharing compensator and it is not necessary to adjust the reference voltage in the feedback loop of each power supply. Furthermore, different rated output power units can be paralleled and composed of a large power system by this scheme. A Precision Time synchronization Protocol (PTP) is introduced...
This paper concerns the production line capacity assignment problem with consideration of equilibrium requirement, which sources from the practical production management. The problem is to determine the utilized capacity of each production line in the iron & steel complex in order to make the load of each production line equilibrated and keep the logistics between production lines straightway...
This paper studies a two-stage inventory problem arising from cold rolling production process in the steel industry. The problem is to find a optimal inventory level which satisfies the order demand and ensures the continuity of production via controlling the production rate.. Consider ring “transport of batch” to different sales center, we assume that the realization of the demand depends on the...
This paper proposes a real-time object recognition systems for recognizing known objects and searching unknown objects for home service robot. The object recognition system is mainly used in recognizing known objects, which combined Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) detector and Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoints (BRISK) descriptor for improving...
In this paper, an enhanced fuzzy sliding mode control system (EFSMC) is proposed for a linear induction motor (LIM) to achieve the position tracking. First, the dynamic model of LIM is investigated for considering the end effect and the friction force into the observer-based compensation design to cope with the time-varying uncertainties. Then, a sliding mode control (SMC) based on the backstepping...
As an important and challenging problem, the scheduling of semiconductor manufacturing is a hot topic in both engineering and academic field.

Cloud storage technology is extensively applied, how...
We develop a new method to plan pump operation schedules for water supply systems. In the method, we define a solution space as a network model in which the nodes are cumulative flow rates and the edges are the flow rates at each time step. We treat pump scheduling as a shortest path problem, and the A* search algorithm is used to find the optimum path. One feature of the proposed method is that the...
